- Made theme_link() less "hard coded", we still have to make
it fully configurable though.
- Fixed glitch in story submission: the warning messages were
not displayed.
- Tidied up block.module a bit.
overhead, and a lot better (simpler) module API. I had to edit a
LOT of files to get this refactored but I'm sure it was worth the
effort.
For module writers / maintainers:
None of the hooks changed, so 95% of the old modules should still
work. You can remove some code instead as "$module = array(...)"
just became obsolete. Also - and let's thank God for this - the
global variable "$repository" has been eliminated to avoid modules
relying on, and poking in drupal's internal data structures. Take
a look at include/module.inc to investigate the details/changes.
- Improved design of the content modules "story", "book" and "node"
(to aid smooth integration of permisions + moderate.module). I'm
still working on the permissions but I got side tracked for which
I "Oops!".
- Added moderator information to forum.module.
- Simplified story.module, page.module, forum.module and book.module
by removing redundant code, and by doing other small house-keeping
tasks.
- Added moderator permissions to nodes.
- Added moderator support to structure.module.
- Added new moderate.module.
- Renamed moderation.module to queue.module to avoid confusing.
Updated theme yaroon as it seems to have a hard-coded reference
to moderation.module.
- Polished on:
+ account.module: improved access list
+ fixed HTML typo in node.module
ACTIONS:
- Jeroen: can jeroen2.theme be removed from ./themes/yaroon?
CHANGES:
- Added "read" and "write" permissions into drupal but removed
it again because - when finished after 3 hours of work - it
was considered nothing but added complexity that didn't buy
us anything. :I
(I'll explain this in detail on the mailing list, I guess.)
- Added a very simple help.module to group all available
documentation on a single page.
- Fixed bug in node_control(), book.module: UnConeD forgot to
global $user when updating the combobox code.
- Removed static wishlist.module: in future, the wishlist can
be maintained as a page in our collaborative book.
- Revised most of settings.module: tidied up the code and the
descriptions to accompany the settings and introduced a new
"default maximum number of nodes to display on the main page"
variable.
- Revised most of comment.module: the administration interface
looks better now, integrated node permissions, and -finally-
made it possible to delete comments.
- Polished on:
+ account.module
+ structure.module
+ locale.module
+ module.module
+ forum.module
- Form-ified:
+ account.php
+ account.module
+ setting.module
+ cvs.module
+ submit.php
+ comment.module
+ forum.module
+ book.module
+ page.module
+ locale.module
- Updated CHANGELOG
INFO:
- Designed a "generic tracker system with optional backends"
on paper. The idea is to allow registered users to hot-list
certain topics, individual nodes or threads (comments) and
to "plug-in" output backends like - for instance - an e-mail
digest. The design requires "intelligent blocks" though.
TODO:
- I want to tidy up the headline.module and backend.class as
well as merge in headlineRSS10.module. Julian spent quite
some time working on headline.module but I'm not sure what
he changed and whether he'd contribute it back?

- Added new form_* functions to common.inc, used for building
forms: it should improve 'stability' (no form typos, every-
thing properly escaped/unescaped) and should help providing
a very consistent user interface (wrt forms).
- Adjusted node.module to use the new form functions.
(Can be used as an example.)
- Adjusted book.module to use the new form functions.
(Can be used as an example.)
- Merged function.inc into common.inc!
- Slowly removing all global $status and $rstatus variables:
use node_status() instead.
TODO:
- Apart from implementing the permission system, I'll spend
some time updating most modules today and tomorrow to use
the new form functions.
module to develop and test the permission system along with the
regular nodes. And hopefully, this forum module will grow into
a very useable piece of code for drop.org.
Requires a new SQL table "forum", see 2.00-to-x.xx.sql.
- Removed 1 unused hook from page.module.
- Removed 1 unused function from comment.inc.
- Modified conf_init() to use default.conf if nothing else can be found.
- Added some comments to hostname.conf to reflect the changes and
provide more information on how to rename the file.
TODO
- The Drupal handbook should be updated once the CVS version is released.
- Should try to remove the remainder of info from hostname.conf and go for a
completely web-based administration if possible.
- Does having all the settings in a SQL database make Drupal add more
overhead than including a .conf file? If nobody knows for sure some tests
should be done. If yes, concider having the admin interface generate an
include file in addition to saving to the database.

- Fixed an error in module_rehash_blocks() that didn't handle '-symbols.
- Removed some module depencies. Drupal will now run (sorta) even if there
are no modules installed.
- Changed theme_link() to check if certain modules are installed before
offering a link to them.
Todo
- Check all SQL queries to make sure they are addslashes'ed correctly.
- Check the effects of changing the PHP magic_quotes setting.
- Make the theme_link() function to be customizable either via the admin
page and/or in the module itself.

to the newest. It would try to change tables that had not yet been created
causing major problems to the node module. (NOTE: if you are doing a x.xx
update to another x.xx version you might have to force MySQL to perform it
using the -f flag. Remember to always backup your data before making
changes).
- Prevented 2.00-to-x.xx.php from executing. It would simply give a PHP error
and not execute. Will wait for Dries to return before attempting to make it
functional or remove it.
Some modules (such as diary) should be changed to take advantage of this function, as they are now still using GMT+0 dates in some cases (e.g. the recent diary entries box).
> - Fixed security issue: unchecked form-data in a db-query (line 82)
> - Fixed bug: the module now checks only against other *stories*
> (instead of nodes) with the same title.
- Took out the duplicate title check; after the story module has
been "nodified", duplicate titles are no longer a problem.
