- permissions menu link updates in a number of modules help
- anchor link fix in distributed auth help
- "my account" link fix in user help
- spelling correction in tracker.module help
- I also changed 'admin/access/perms' to 'admin/access/permissions'.
We added a 'severity' column to watchdog():
watchdog($type, $message, $link) --> watchdog($type, $message, $severity, $link);
* Specify a severity in case you are reporting a warning or error.
* The $link-parameter is now the fourth parameter instead of the third.
TODO: document this in the upgrade guide.
* Less logic in theme code.
* Encourages use of the menu system.
* Easier to find where a title or breadcrumb comes from in other people's code because there are less places to look. Look in menu and then grep for the appropriate set function. Looking for calls to theme_page() is hard because there are too many of them.
* Very slightly more efficient.
Read the manual for pg_escape_string: "Use of this function is recommended instead of addslashes()." Or read sqlite_escape_string: "addslashes() should NOT be used to quote your strings for SQLite queries; it will lead to strange results when retrieving your data."
The primary goal of this patch is to take the 'custom' and 'path' columns of the block overview page and make them into something understandable. As of Drupal 4.5 'custom' lacked an explanation which wasn't buried in help text and path required dealing with regular expressions.
Every block now has a configuration page to control these options. This gives more space to make form controls which do not require a lengthy explanation. This page also gives modules a chance to put their block configuration options in a place that makes sense using new operations in the block hook.
The only required changes to modules implementing hook_block() is to be careful about what is returned. Do not return anything if $op is not 'list' or 'view'. Once this change is made, modules will still be compatible with Drupal 4.5. Required changes to core modules are included in this path.
An additional optional change to modules is to implement the additional $op options added. 'configure' should return a string containing the configuration form for the block with the appropriate $delta. 'configure save' will come with an additional $edit argument, which will contain the submitted form data for saving. These changes to core modules are also included in this patch.
Note that book_location_down() was missing an explicit field b.weight in the SQL SELECT statement, but this value would usually be supplied implicitly because it is used to ORDER the result.
+ Made error strings in blog.module consistent.
+ Explained a bit better what the RSD setting is for in the blog module.
+ Removed the notes about PHP content from block module and book module, since everything is handled via the input formats now.
1) Menu problems with Postgres (this is a highly critical 1 line fix)
2) Archive module fails with Postgres
3) Postgres setup problems - changes to database.pgsql (although i made these changes myself before finding this patch)
4) Book module fails with Postgres
5) Postgres problems following creation of a new type of user - which is actually about a taxonomy.module bug.
6) Creating accregator_item_table in PostgreSQL
7) Postgres - Polls not displayed on Poll Page
8) Blog module has sql errors with postgres
This should not affect MySQL users (hopefully).
