- Strips the leading / from URLs to match with block paths. The reason is that everywhere else in Drupal, we use URLs without leading slash (e.g. URL aliasing). For consistency we should keep this behaviour everywhere. The replacement uses ereg_replace instead of str_replace, but the expression now only match the beginning of the URI so in fact it's faster, esp. for longer URIs.
- Updates the block docs about path matching: gets rid of leading slash, adds initial matching operator '^' and emphasises the slash behaviour (which was not mentioned anywhere before)
- Replaces the example expression for a negative match. It was horribly broken and odd, the replacement in this patch is correct and simpler.
+ Updated the _user() hook's "$type == 'view'" case to match the
"$type == 'edit'" case. That is, both have to return an associtive
array of the format array('category' => 'fields').
+ Updated the profile pages to group fields by category. Made possible
thanks to the above change.
+ Moved logic out of the theme_ functions.
+ Made it possible to define the page title of the user listing pages.
+ Used form_group()s for the profile administration page.
+ Fixed bug in database/updates.inc.
+ Added a 'created' field to the users table and renamed the 'timestamp'
fied to 'changed' (cfr. node table). Update.php will try to determine
a 'created' timestamp for existing users.
+ The profile module no longer uses serialized data but has its own set
of tables. Known existing profile data is migrated by these new tables.
TODO: migrate the birthday field.
+ The profile fields can be grouped, and within each group, profile fields
can be sorted using weights.
+ The profile pages can be themed.
+ The profiles can be browsed based on certain properties/settings.
+ Change the _user hook: (i) 'private_view' and 'public_view' are merged
into 'view' as there are no private fields and (ii) 'edit_form' has
been renamed to 'edit'.
+ Avatar handling has been refactored and is now part of the user module.
The users table has a dedicted 'picture' field.
+ Simplified the way themes should use display/visualize pictures or
avatars.
+ Made it possible for administrators to replace or delete avatars.
+ ...
I hope this make for a good base to build on collectively.
