to functions.inc useful for resp. verifying an e-mail address
and username: currently used by account.php - but reusable by
Julian's refer.module for example (prepares integration).
They both return a linked string with the respective category,
or topic name. Updated all themes to use these new functions.
- (stripped tabs from emsa files, nevermind)
Made it so that we can disable/enable comments on a category by category basis. In order to accomplish this I had to make a few (*temporary*) changes.
I moved all comment code from the "module level" (eg. story.module) to the "node level". It was nothing but the logical next step in nodifying drupal. This enables us to add comments to all existing content types including book entries. But also for book entries, this to can be toggled on and off. :-)
Moreover module writers don't have to worry about the complex comment logic: it is "abstracted" away. This implies that story.module got smaller, faster and easier to comprehend. :-)
In order to accomplish this, I had to update ALL THEMES, which I did - and on my way I updated Goofy, Oranzh and UnConeD - with the previous changes. All themes are up-to-date now! I also had to remove the [ reply to this story ] links, and temporally re-introcuded the "Add comment" button in the "Comment control". Tempora lly that is, UnConeD. ;)
I plan to upgrade drop.org either tommorow or wednesday so test away if you have some time to kill. ;)
Oh, I also fixed a few bugs and made various small improvements.
your theme:
- corrected some missing translations in story.module. Oops!
- grealty simplified the "moderation threshold mechanism"(tm) so
that module writers don't have to worry about this. As a result
story.module and book.module became a bit smaller and easier to
grasp.
- greatly simplified new "category" and "topic" code which is soon
going to replace the "section" code. Needs more work though so
hang on thight.
- includes/section.inc and modules/section.module are replaced by
includes/structure.module and modules/structure.module.
- beautified example.theme a bit without adding HTML complexity:
it is a good example but still useful as a theme
- made theme example use "categories" and "topics"
--> TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND UPDATE YOUR THEME
- made theme marvin use "categories" and "topics"
--> TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND UPDATE YOUR THEME
- added 2 new "story listings" to administrator interface of
story.module to verify story integrity.
- optimized comment table a bit (work in progress)
it now uses the new category code, incl content bindings.
You can setup different "categories" which map on a content
type. Example:
review -> review.module
article -> story.module
column -> story.module
announc. -> story.module
addons -> file.module
themes -> file.module
- "generalised" story.module and book.module's output.
- fixed bug in includes/timer.inc
- fixed glitch in theme example.theme: it said "$how by" but
the variable $how has never been declared.
- added "drupal development settings" to display some timings
- more work on the categories/topics -> does NOT work yet
footer message like a copyright notice. Themes should use this!
- small improvement to example theme
- added theme_footer to theme marvin
- small improvement to database.inc
- slightly improved story.module, node.module and book.module
- made the "default theme" a setting from the setting page
- polished a bit on the export function: we can now export the
book or parts thereof through the following url:
1. http://drop.org/export/book/
(full book)
2. http://drop.org/export/book/nid
(where nid is the node id to start with)
The export routine demonstrates how it can be done yet the
output is too basic and can only improve over time.
- streamlined method invocation in node.inc
- added node_status() function to modules
- added NEW (mostly static) page module
- added NEW settings module
- fixed update bug in book.module
- provide a log message when both adding and updating book pages
- all configurable variables are now accessed through "variable_get()":
- rewrote watchdog and submission throttle and removed watchdog.inc
- improved robustness of sections.inc
- imporved story.module
- updated ./database/database.sql
- improved "track drop.org": it has now 2 boxes, one for "track
comments" and one for "track nodes"
- various small improvements to the book module based on the
feedback we got.
- fixed typo in moderation module
- ...
- removed ban.inc and ban.module and integrated it in account.module
under the name "access control" --> the ban code was not really up
to standard so this has now been dealt with. This refactoring and
reintegration cuts down the code size with 100 lines too. :-)
(The ban.module code was really old and it showed.)
- added node.module and made the other modules reuse some of this
code --> cut down the code size of modules by at least 100 lines
and adds stability.
- added a status() function to admin.php to display a conform status
message where appropriate. See admin.php for usage.
- removed $theme->control() and made comments.inc handle this itself
wrapped in a $theme->box(). No need to clutter the themes with
such complexity --> updated all themes already. :-)
- some small visual changes to some administration pages to be more
consistent across different modules.
(reported by UnConeD)
- added "add node" link to book selection box and made it display the
current location
- removed tabs and whitespaces from themes - done automatically
- fixed small visual glitch in includes/function.inc
- changed SQL tables around a bit to be more consistent
(result: small changes to a lot of different files)
- improved robustness of includes/node.inc
- improved output of cron.module
- improved output of node.php
testing!
- you can't add a node with the same title twice within 5 minutes
(to avoid reposting by accidentically reloading your page after
having posted)
the index page will only display stories for now but this will/can
change in the near future
- all other files now thinks in terms of nodes, rather then stories
abstract() + article() = story()
abstract() and article() have been merged into a new function story()
which looks like:
function story($story_object, $reply) {
if (!reply) {
// full story
}
else {
// main page version / abstract
}
}
This should allow you to "compress" your theme as abstract() and
article() tended to be 98% identical.
=> I didn't really merge your themes so I leave it up to *you* to
improved the code!!! Do it ASAP as we release drupal 2.00 in 7
days.
In future we'll have similar functions for other content types as
for example:
review($review, $reply);
enquete($enquete, $reply);
...
revised most of the SQL queries and tried to make drupal as secure as possible (while trying to avoid redundant/duplicate checks). For drupal's sake, try to screw something up. See the mail about PHPNuke being hacked appr. 6 days ago. The one who finds a problem is rewarded a beer (and I'm willing to ship it to Norway if required). I beg you to be evil. Try dumping a table a la "http://localhost/index.php?date=77778;DROP TABLE users" or something. ;)
- added a couple of missing t() functions
- improved the comments module, fixed the score problem Jeroen
reported earlier -> it's slicker but I hope it won't break anything
certain users access to specific administration sections only.
Ex. a FAQ maintainer can only edit the FAQ, and members of an
"editorial board" can only edit comments, diaries and
stories, ..
- code review => rewrote include/user.inc which is much easier now
- fixed 4 small bugs
- replaced the "open submission queue" (submission.php and submission.inc)
with an optional module (submission.module).
- tidied up the HTML code of some files
This time I redid the "category"-stuff. Categories - from now on called sections - are now maintained from the admin pages, can have their own post, dump and timout thresholds as discussed earlier (some weeks ago). By tomorrow evening users will be able to enable or disable section as well - i.e. to customize the content of drop.org.
though but I think this is stable enough for public consumption and
real-life testing.
==> a first big step towards a flexible comment engine.
IMPORTANT:
- Required theme updatins:
UnConeD: check your $theme->controls() as I added a very, very
dummy implementation
- Required database updates:
alter table users modify mode tinyint(1) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
alter table comments change sid lid int(6) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
alter table comments add link varchar(16) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
update comments set link = 'story';
