'updates/3.00-to.x.xx.mysql' for the required MySQL updates.
- Renamed some "author" fields to "uid" fields for sake of consistency.
- Fixed the coding style of some PHP files.
- Fixed the moderation queue (fairly untested though).
- Re-introduced the temporary SQL table in _node_get().
- Added a missing 'auto_increment' to 'updates/3.00-to-x.xx.mysql'.

the table name. I also renamed all remaining "userid"s to "uid"s as I

for the MySQL updates.
range of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and others.
For additional information and an 'how to upgrade', check the mails
sent to the mailing list.
- fixed small glitch in comment_del()
- changed the API of the form() function. The first parameter, the
"action"-attribute in the <form>-tag has been made optional. By
default, it will be set to "$REQUEST_URI".
Why? Because in 98% of the cases we would do:
global $REQUEST_URI;
$form = form($REQUEST_URI, $form_content);
while we can do:
$form = form($form_content);
now.
Update your modules (and sorry for the inconvenience)!
+ when replying to a comment, the author's name was displayd as being 'anonymous'.
- blog.module:
+ fixed the URLs of the links in the "latest blogs"-block.
calls can implement the new 'xmlrpc' hook.
Example:
function mymodule_xmlrpc() {
return array("drupal.myfunction" => array("function" => "mymodule_myfunction"));
}
- format_username() now takes a second optional parameter which gives the
real name of the user.
Rest
- updated the calls to format_username() where appropriate to show the name
of the user instead of the account id. Clicking on a name will still give you
the account info etc. If you find a place where the real name is not shown
let me know.

+ added new "tab" to import.module called "news sources".
+ improvement to import.module navigation.
- theme.inc:
+ renamed 'your contributions' to 'your submissions'.
+ added RSS 0.91(5) feeds to the blog module which makes it possible

- marvin.theme:
+ small visual improvements
Basically this is a 'nice version' of a hack that you could do as a theme author.
I've updated all the standard themes, but 3rd party themes will of course have to be updated by their authors, in the following manner:
- Replace the box() declaration:
< function box($subject, $content) {
> function box($subject, $content, $region = "main") {
- Replace the theme_account call:
< theme_account($this);
> theme_account("region", $this);
Note that you'll have to replace "region" with the correct region that the box is placed in. However if you have a one-column theme, you should use "all", and not for example "left" (if all boxes are on the left).
Usually the "region" here should be the same as the nearest theme_blocks() call.
Those theme authors who want to can make boxes that appear in the center look different from those that appear in the sides for example.
+ fixed visual glitch with 'read more' link (blog comments)
+ made it possible to delete your last blog item
+ fixed timestamp bug when previewing a new blog
+ fixed potential problem with blog_save()
+ fixed a few HTML/XHTML tinkos.
- statistics.module:
+ "yoursite.com" should no longer show up under "external referrers"
+ fixed "Referers of the last 31 years 37 weeks 1 hour 46 min 40 sec" bug
+ xhtml-ified
- node.inc:
+ fixed watchdog message
- import.module:
+ small block improvement
+ feedback wanted
- Added updated import.module (contributed by Julian):
+ user page do browse the headlines by feed and bundle, to display
the item descriptions, etc.
- Fixed small bug in common.inc.
- Updated database.mysql
+ Made '$na' translatable on popular demand.
- node.module:
+ replaced a confusing configuration description, as suggested by
Remco.
- statistics.module:
+ Added a 'most recent referers'-table sorted by timestamp.
- drupal.module:
+ Small update of the links.
- Fixed tiny quote problem in account.php.
- Fixed tiny bug in comment.inc.
- Fixed tiny bug in comment.module.
- Fixed tiny bug in meta.module.
- Simplified user_access() API.
- Rewrote link system: still needs fine-tuning and testing so don't
upgrade if you are running a production site. ;)
Updated all modules and themes to reflect this change. All other
themes and modules need updating too!
+ the node scheduler did not un-schedule a node!
- Fixed comment bugs (as a result of the formification):
+ no signatures where being attached to the comments.
+ check_input was used where is should have been check_output,
with broken filters as the immediate result.
(groups) and 'permissions' ... (inspired by Zope's system).
+ Once installed, click the help-link for more information.
+ See updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql for the SQL updates.
- Modified loads of code to use our new access.module. The system
still has to mature though: new permissions have to be added and
existing permissions need stream-lining. Awaiting suggestions.
- As a direct result of the new access system, I had to rewrite the
way the top-level links in admin.php are rendered and displayed,
and xhtml-ified admin.php while I was at it.
TODO
- Home-brewed modules need updating, home-brewed themes not.
(Examples: file.module, trip_link.module)
- As soon we *finished* the refactoring of the user system (KJ has
been working on this refactoring already) we should consider to
embed this role and permission code into account.module ...
- Modifed form_select() to accept an optional 6th parameter which is appeneded
to the select tag. $value can now also be an array. This allows for multiple
selects:
form_select($header, $name, $values, $options, $help, "multiple=\"true\" size=\"10\"");
- Updated account.module to use the extended form_select() functionality.
- Moved account_password() and account_validate() to user.inc.
- Greatly reduced the number of SQL calls in account_save() when editing an
account. Now uses one db_query() call instead of 1 + (2 * # of access
granted).
- Fixed access not being saved when account was added.
- Should now be possible to edit and add accounts. There were certain bugs
before that would cause odd errors.
it wasn't a good idea to split them up in first place, and it turned
out to be quite hard to decide where to put some variables.
Also moved some variables around and even renamed a few variables
while doing so.
- Added a page_header() and page_footer() to all top-level .php pages.
- Changed meta.module, node.module and index.php to use comma-seperated
lists of attributes rather then "foo=a,bar=b" lists. This makes it a
a lot easier to use both modules. In addition, error handling can be
discarded as it can't be made any simpler, really ...
It fits rather nicely in Drupal's design so I'm getting more and more
happy with this meta.module (but we are not 100% there yet).
- node.module, node.inc:
+ Improved the node-related admin interface so that navigating back
and forth the administrative menus is made both easier and faster.
+ Removed some redundant database fields from the node table. See
2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
+ Added 2 news hooks called "node_insert" and "node_update". Just
like this is the case with the existing hook "node_delete" these
new hooks will automatically get called when a node has been
inserted or udpated. Note that this is an optional call-back that
only needs to be implemented when required. With the addition of
these two hooks, the node mechanism (version 1) is pretty well
completed.
- watchdog.module:
+ Fixed bug whit the 'regular messages' query in the watchdog.module.
- book.module:
+ Fixed bug in book.module: the 'parent' was not set properly when
updating a book page.
+ Made it so that older versions of a book page are automatically
reactived upon deletion of the most recent version, i.e. when
doing a version roll-back.
- comment.inc:
+ Undid Remco's patch to comment.inc; it does not work in some cases.
- conf.module:
+ Fine-tuned some of the options in conf.module a bit.
- marvin.theme:
+ Visual changes to make it look better on Windows browsers. Mind
to give some feedback on this?
+ Fixed 3 HTML typos/bugs.
+ XHTML-ified the theme at a best effort basis; I didn't carry the
XHTML specification with me.
+ Made use of the theme_slogan variable to display the site's slogan.
+ As soon we have at least one valid XHTML theme we can wonder on how
to integrate other XML namespaces (cfr. MathML story at drop.org).
- database.mysql:
+ Updated database.mysql so that it contains all the latest "database
patches".
- Added a conf option to disable/enable user registrations.
- Added a add account feature to account.module.
- Moved some functions from account.php to account.module.
Todo
- Move most (all?) of account.php to account.module.
associate different collections - think "combobox" here - with
different content types, all hardcoded references to "section"
have been removed and the admin-friendliness of the meta admin
section has been slightly improved.
I'll keep working on it during the weekend - if time allows me
to. Moreover, I'll focus on the usability/user-friendlines of
the meta admin section as well as graceful input-checking, and
error-handling.
Requires an SQL update, see updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
Index.module will be removed, or meta.module will be renamed as
soon we can ditch one of them. For now, having both coexist is
not going to harm your setup and is useful to make a comparison
and / or to migrate from index.module to meta.module.
Index.module is de-coupled form the rest of the system so you
will have to use meta.module after having upgraded. You have
been warned.
- Updated CHANGELOG.
streamlined the existing code, added new watchdog type called "httpd"
for Apache errors. The latter should make it easier to add watchdog
filters later on.
- Clarified some watchdog messages.
'=' instead of ';' and ':'. It is considered to be more readable.
--> A _first_ step towards and improved index.module. Stay tuned
for more.

If you update from CVS - apply the queries in 2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

This might require to ieni-wieni small update to your custom
themes and/or node-related modules:
- themes: node_index($node->attribute) -> node_index($node)
- node modules: attribute -> attributes
- fixed the trailing | in some cases.
- removed theme_morelinks().
- added node_links().
- simplified BaseTheme->links().
- updated themes.
Notes
- the new links system is taking form, but concider it beta. There might still
be some major changes ahead so I suggest waiting a little longer before
modifying your theme to take advantage of it.

update, you'll break your site as you need switching from structure
to index.module: so this can be considered an intermediate commit.
If you upgrade, and you are welcome to, just create a collection
called "section" (for now) and assign your nodes some attributes
in the described format.
Feedback and bugreports are welcomed. Questions will be answered.
CHANGES:
- comment system:
+ when replying to a node (rather then to a comment), that
node is displayed above the reply form.
+ when replying to a comment (rather then to a node), that
comment is displayd above the reply form.
- removed structure.inc, removed structure.module.
- node.inc:
+ added 2 new node functions called 'node_attribute_edit()' and
'node_attribute_save()' used to 'hook in' any indexing system
including your home-brewed stuff if you'd want to. Currently,
index.module is the facto default index system.
See story.module for usage.
- book.module, story.module, poll.module, page.module, forum.module:
+ added preview functionality to administration section (via node
module).
+ removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).
- moderate.module:
+ removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).
- book.module, story.module, page.module, forum.module:
+ increased the sizes of some textareas.
- submit.php:
+ removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).
- marvin.theme:
+ removed dead code: function story() was depricated.
- unconed.theme:
+ removed hardcoded references to drop.org.
- marvin.theme, unconed.theme, jeroen.theme, yaroon.theme, example.theme:
+ removed all references to structure.inc (category, topic).
TODO:
- file.module, trip_link.module:
+ update preview functionality:
see story.module for example.
+ remove references to 'cid' and 'tid', use 'attribute' instead:
see story.module for example.
- extend and build upon index.module as well as making it configurable
- created a BaseTheme class in theme.inc.
- added links($links = array(), $status = 0, $node = 0) to BaseTheme.
- modified all themes to extend from BaseTheme.
- modiefied theme_link() to take advantage of $theme->links().
- theme_morelink() does not require a $theme argument.
Todo
- add the other standard variables and functions to BaseTheme.
- some themes could use some more modifications.
Weird
- marvin.theme still has a story() function.
algorithm a bit. --> Needs testing! I improved this last night
and only got around to testing this rather briefly/quickly. It
was to late already. ;-)
(This is part of a larger set of changes I'm slowly working on
which I will feed to CVS in steps after more testing.)
- Added 2 new node functions called 'node_attribute_edit()' and
'node_attribute_save()' used to 'hook in' any indexing system
including your home-brewed stuff if you'd want to.
- Added improved node scheduler:
+ Automatically post node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.
+ Automatically queue node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.
+ Automatically dump node at date 'xx/xx/xx, xx:xx'.
Requires a database update, see ./updates/2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
- Refactored the admin interface of node.module. It is only a start
but it should show the direction we are going.
+ The new interface is easier to extend with new functionality
and operations. New "edit xxx" links can easily be added on
our way.
+ The new interface tries to cover all content- or node-related
functions. Thus making a special admin interface for each new
node type redundant. To demonstrate this, I removed the admin
hook from page.module and forum.module. This removes quite a
bit of logic from the invidual modules which is a good sign if
you ask me.
A centralized GUI or interface covering all node-related
administration should make Drupal easier to administer.
TODO:
- All node-related nodes need updating. This should be trivial and
I'll hapilly tackle this later tonight.
- There will be bugs, and I'm still working on this but I would like
to get some feedback (from Natrak et all) on both user-friendliness
and usability of this new interface. I'm still working on it as we
speak ...
structure.module either needs work, or replacement by index.module:
see "admin > node > node settings".
It will do for now and it can always made better when we can think
of a better solution; it is the best I could think of. Now what?
index.module or structure.module? I'm currently pro index.module.
- Drastically simplified "variable.inc".
- Removed most dependecies on structure.module from all content related
modules. Thus making our modules more modular. ;)
- Fixed calculation glitch in queue.module.
- Fixed potential function name clash/conflict in rating.module, and
simplified some code on my way.
- Started removing all global variables $status and $rstatus. Global
variables are "yucky" so in near future, we will replace all global
$status variables by a call to node_status(). Originally, $status
was only introduced as a temporary hack and nothing is as permanent
as a temporary hack so I took it out when still possible.
- Changed the watchdog messages a bit.
- Modified check_mail() to allow '+' characters in mail addresses.
TODO
- Extend the regular expression to allow addresses valid in the RFC's.
Currently IP domains are banned, and so are many other extensions of RFC
822. This is not a priority since we currently support 96% of all addresses.
for the different content types. These weights are used when
calculating each user's gravity. This is a required step before
we can even think of "nodifying" the diary or headline module.
- Polished a bit more on the other modules' crons.
When $field was 0 it would return true, causing SQL errors. Seems to
convert the string its being matched with to a numeric, normally 0. Forced
$field to be treated as a string by enclosing it in quotes.
- Fixed a bug in node.php: UnConeD forgot to update 1 node_get_object().
- I changed the look of theme_morelink() a bit: it might not look better,
but at least the output is "correct".
- Various small improvements.
- Redid settings.module and even renamed it to conf.module.
* Settings are now grouped in basic categories like "system
settings", "module settings" and "filters".
* Added new settings to make Drupal easier to configure and
to make some aspects like the watchdog scale better.
- Renamed includes/settings.php to includes/conf.php.
- Added filter support to conf.module and introduced filter hooks so
modules can implement and export new filters. Example filters are
an HTML filter (implemented), a profanity filter, an url converter,
ASCII smileys to images filter and so on ...
- Reworked the check_* functions: user contributed content/input is
only verified and filtered once in its lifespan.
NOTES
- Altough this is a large commit, no database changes are required.
- Rewrote the cron system. Removed cron.module and moved all cron
related options to settings.module. Cron was a confusing thing:
it has been made simpler both in terms of code and configuration.
+ You had to rehash your modules to make the cron show up in
the list. This is no longer required.
+ You couldn't tell what cron "watchdog" or cron "story" were
up to. Instead, we now display a clear description message
for every cron involved.
+ The user interface of setting.module - and the admin section
in general, looks a bit ackward but I couldn't care less and
don't want to see this improve at the time being.
- Improved setting.module:
+ Now uses variable_set().
+ Added some help and documentaition on how to setup cron.
- Improved ./export.
- Updated CHANGELOG.
TODO:
- I'm now going to look into UnConeD's question with regard to
check_output() and $theme->node(), as well as the filter and
macro stuff. I'll probably be fine-tuning setting.module a
bit more on my way.
On Windows machines (not sure about *nix boxes) it's not always pre-sorted by the filesystem. It has no effect code-wise, but it will cause all module-lists in Drupal to be sorted alphabetically (e.g. the links in admin.php).
- Simplified field_set() API.
- Made UnConeD's cool common timestamp format conform with the
general coding style. Sorry to be so picky about this but I
really can't help it. ;)
this information to the "users"-field in both nodes and comments.
This database/table change reduces the number of SQL queries and
makes Drupal scale better where a lot of voting/moderation takes
place. Last but not least it can be considered a new and better
foundation for future moderation metrics / algorithms. In other
words: it is plain better.
--> oops, all voting/moderation results will be lost!
--> requires database update, see "2.00-to-x.xx.sql"!
- Updated database/database.mysql
+ path_uri(): returns the fully-qualified URI of your drupal site.
+ path_img(): returns the image directory or http://image-server.com/
in case you prefer to load-balance bandwidth usage.
Replaced all occurences of the variable "site_url" with path_uri()
and removed "site_url" from "setting.module".
- Drastically simplified the node_save() API, which should make the
node-forms more secure. Updated "story.module", "book.module",
"forum.module", "page.module" and "node.module" to reflect this
change. This is needs more testing so hit it, beat it, tease it.
- Fixed an occasional glitch in the configuration file loading logic.
- Made "queue.module" display an informative notice when an anonymous
user tries accessing the moderation queue.
- Updated the hard-coded information in drupal.module a bit.
Note that - when upgrading - you have to rename all your existing
configuration files to reflect this change:
yourdomain.com.conf -> yourdomain.com.php
By default, i.e. if no configuration file is found, setting.php
will be used instead. Using the ".php"-extension will fix most
configuration/security issues with .htaccess-files ...
- Removed some dead code from forum.module.
is selected.
- 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 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.

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.
- Modified conf_init() to use default.conf if nothing else can be found.

- 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.

- 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.
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).
makes "promoting nodes" to the main page possible. Stories
and reviews could be promoted by default, but - on accasion
a good book entry could be manually promoted too. Thus all
existing content types can be shown on the main page, not
just stories.
Requires a SQL update, see 2.00-to-x.xx.sql!
- Addition: implemented "auto-post new submissions" feature
to disable or by-pass the moderation queue in addition to
"moderate new submissions".
TODO: admin moderation versus registered user moderation.
- Addition: added category and topic support to page.module.
a node per node basis, rather then on a category per category
basis. The default settings for each individual category can
be changed though.
Example: it can be setup so that - by default - all stories
posted to the category "article" will have comments enabled
but stories submitted to "announcement" not.
Different configuration schemes can easily be added later.
Requires a SQL update, see 2.00-to-x.xx.sql/database.mysql.
- Addition: made submit.php only use categories that users can
actually submit new content to.
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)
