or "operation" link.
- Made the main page of the administration section show an overview of all
watchdog entries with such action link.
- Fixed typo in PostgreSQL database scheme.
- page_header() now adds Last-Modified and ETag http headers.
- When running PHP as an Apache module page_header() will check the HTTP
headers for conditional gets, and will only push the content when it
fails. (Works for html and xml pages as they are all cached). Note:
this is a PHP limitation, so until PHP makes it work for other web
servers this won't work for them.
- Added created field to cache database to hold the timestamp when the
cache was created.
- Changed cache_get() to return an object with ->data and ->created.
- Update forum and locale modules.
+ Removed the "post content" permission and replaced it by more fine-grained permissions such as "maintain static pages", "maintain personal blog", "maintain stories", etc.
o Usability improvements to teasers:
+ Teaser forms are no more. Teasers are extracted automatically but can also be instructed using a delimiter "---". Furthermore, when a post it too short for a teaser, the user won't be bother with teaser stuff anymore.
+ Added an option to set the teaser length, or to disable teasers all together.
+ When previewing a post, both the short (if any) and the full version of a post are shown. This addresses a common complaint; for example, when writing a book page there was no way you could preview the short version of your post.
+ Forum posts can be teasered now. This is particularly helpful in the context of drupal.org where we promote forum topics.
o Bugfix: replaced all PHP short tags (<?) with long tags (<?php).
o Bugfix: removed hard-coded dependence on comment module.
o Bugfix: when the queue module was disabled, it was not possible to approve updated book pages.
o Bugfix: applied modified version of Marco's node_teaser() fix.
- Changed cache API.
- Fixed caching bug in comment.module. Odd this hasn't been reported yet.
- Fixed caching bug in forum.module.
- Fixed caching bug in system.module.
- Fixed caching bug in block.module.
- Simplified caching support in forum.module thanks to improved cache API.
"This patch to theme.inc adds the ability for modules to insert HTML
into the <HEAD> section of all web pages. The additional modules in
this directory [ed: blog.module] demonstate possible uses for the
new _head() hook."
"This is a simple, generic pager for Drupal-CVS. It is designed to be
easily themeable and expandable. The code is highly-commented to
enhance readability."
"Pagers are constructed by combining the provided pieces (all of which
can be easily modified to display the text or image you prefer) into
your custom pager."
* Statistics module fixes by Jeremy:
- removed superfluous check for existence of watchdog()
- saving changes in admin page displays status and returns same page
- no longer return 1971/01/01 in "view statistics" table
- switched from "!=" to "<>" in SQL queries for ANSI-SQL compliance
- switched from "MAX(timestamp) as timestamp" to "MAX(timestamp) as
max_timestamp" moving towards ANSI-SQL compliance.
* Added a "theme_item_list" function to format itemized lists. Also
changed a couple of modules to take advantage of it. Makes for a
more consistent UI.
- Modules and themes now use the same functions to find and administer
files.
- Modules can now be placed in sub-directories.
- Theme descriptions can no longer be edited. This will be handled by
Dries' theme_conf patch.
- Update required to keep old modules enabled.
+ Blocks are not longer called if not rendered: major performance
improvement.
+ Fixed some bugs (preview option was broken, path option was broken).
+ Removed "ascii"-type blocks.
+ Added permission to for "PHP blocks"
+ ...
NOTES:
+ You'll want to run "update.php":
ALTER TABLE blocks DROP remove;
ALTER TABLE blocks DROP name;
+ You'll want to update your custom modules as well as the modules in
the contrib repository. Block function should now read:
function *_block($op = "list", $delta = 0) {
if ($op == "list") {
return array of block infos
}
else {
return subject and content of $delta block
}
}
changes include:
* a couple of coding style changes, renamed some "stats" into
"statistics", etc.
* removed the "Who's online" block from the user module.
* added db_affected_rows() to the resp. database abstraction
layers and made the statistics module use db_affected_rows()
instead.
* added update logic to "update.php".
- fixed comment flat list view missing 1 comment.
- changed update.php around a bit.
* security check isn't in effect if the db hasn't been updated.
* instructions re-organized.
* fixed some minor updates.
- updated database.mysql done by UnConeD.
- changelog update.
returned by theme_list() as it breaks the site ... The attached patch
prevents this from happening but does not remove the theme from the system
table in the SQL database - if the theme is removed from the database upon
viewing the themes administration page (or another trigger), I guess that
is fine.
Kjartan: my fix is the right thing to apply because theme_list() is used
elsewhere where it requires to return a list of existing themes.
Maybe it's a little sad but the current theme loading code might
be slower and more complex than the old Drupal 3 theme loading
code ... ?
or disabled as it will cause errors otherwise.
- split status into status and custom. Status will turn the block
on/off, and custom defined if the user can change the status.
Requires sql update.
- reintroduced user page to configure blocks.
- request_uri() behaves on non-apache web servers. i've tested on IIS and
apache (many platforms).
- modules may now implement the _search_item() hook which overrides the
default formatting of search results. modules already can customize which
fields are indexed. no module currently uses this hook but
externalpage.module expects to do so.
- added an optional $attribs argument to l(), lm(), and la() which is an
associative array of attributes which are inserted into the <a> tag (feature
#146).
- drupal_str_replace() is deleted (i had recently added it). i verified that
no scripts are currently calling this function. use strtr() or str_replace()
instead.
- arbitrary elements may be added to the <channel> and <item> blocks of an
RSS feed by passing the $args associative array. the core RSS engine is now
able to support elements like <cloud> and <catagory> [1] and RSS 1.0[2]
[1] http://backend.userland.com/rss092
[2] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-dev/files/namespace.html
* fixed mails not being parsed properly.
* tracker now shows user name when you view your own recent
comments.
* link to submission queue now points to the right place.
* fixed jabber module.
* theme is now activated when changed.
- applied Gerhards coding style patch.
+ Changed the db_query() API.
+ Wrapped all links in l(), lm(), la(), ..., drupal_url() functions.
+ XHTML-ified some HTML.
+ Wrapped a lot of text in the administrative pages in a t()
function.
+ Replaced all $REQUEST_URI/$PATH_INFOs by request_uri().
+ Small bugfixes (eg. bug in book_export_html() and clean-ups (eg.
RSS code).
+ Fixed some bugs in the taxonomy module (eg. tree making bug), added
new functionality (eg. new APIs for use by other modules), included
Moshe's taxonomy extensions, and some documentation udpates.
+ ...
for the meta system. The patches add some extra functionality to the
comment system (for example, comments can be set read-only) and fix a
couple of small problems.
+ I integrated the required SQL updates from the varius *.mysql files
into the "update.php" script. Upgrading should be easy ...
+ I did not apply/commit the "user.diff" as requested by Marco ...
+ I didn't know what to do with "forum.module" and "forum2.module":
what do you want me to do with it Marco? Which one should go in?
+ Can we remove "node_index()" now; both from "node.module" and the
themes?
+ Thanks Marco!
Committing Changes by Moshe Weitzman:
- admin_user_account(), user_edit(), and user_view() no longer have any
hard code for authentication modules. instead authentication modules
implement the _user hook.
- fixed a couple 'help' typos.
- linked the 'REGISTER' text in the login block to the register page.
this page now advertises DA better if site employs DA.
- admins may now edit everything about a user account (was a feature
request).
- user #1 may now login immediately, in addition to receiving his
password via email.
Other changes:
- modules and themes are now enabled/disabled in the administrative /
settings / modules | themes pages. Requires SQL update and things must
be enabled before your site returns to normal. TODO: enable all
functionality. (For now just do UPDATE system SET status = 1;)
- removed $themes from conf.php.
- added a $theme->system() function where theme can specify settings.
All themes in the Drupal CVS have been updated to use this.
- added _system hook to modules. TODO: update modules to use this.
- changed strange use of sprintf to the usual strtr. The disadvantage of
sprintf is that it requires translations to keep the string order,
which may not be possible in all languages.
- an invalid/nonexisting theme in a user profile will now fallback to the
BaseTheme instead of crashing.
login and one for user information.
- added link to help in book module (post-patch, see below).
- applied various patches:
Patch by Greg Tyrelle <greg@tyrelle.net>
- tracker module now shows usernames next to comments.
Patch by Moshe Weitzman <moshe@wallaware.com>
- book module has a more complete help.
- added administrative link to export book to html
- fixed non book nodes not showing up in trees.
Patch by moshe weitzman <weitzman@tejasa.com>
- links can be defined in the configuration file.
- added who is online block.
- made weblog module more configurable.
- users may now delete their own accounts (Feature #8)
- users may now request a password using email address *or* username.
formerly required both items to match an account which was onerous.
- the link to request a new password is now presented whenever a user
fails login.
- there is now a confirmation message after submitting edits to your
user information.
- error messages in user.module may now be stylized by themes.
- <hook>_form has a $param setting you can fill with form parameters.
- improved wording for a few config settings.
- fixed various non-coding standard things.
* only problem is that the admin.php link is not available until the
admin enables the block.
* $theme->user is obsolete, will patch the themes properly in a
later patch.
- moved moderation block from theme.inc to queue.module.
* removed theme_moderation_results().
- updated database/database.mysql.
- attempted to fixed crashes with the custom session handler.
External SMTP library
- added functionality to have Drupal not use the default PHP mail()
function. For more info see: http://www.drupal.org/node.php?id=44
Note: for this to work all modules that send mails should use the
Drupal function to send mail:
user_mail($mail, $subject, $message, $header);
Calendar
- added an archive page which users can use to find archives instead of
the good old block.
Miscellaneous
- fixed a "random" offset bug on module.inc that occurred on Windows.
All of this needs more testing, and further suggestions are welcome.
SQL update. See below for more details.
- Merged the file "cache.inc" into "common.inc".
- In addition, I renamed the field 'url' in the cache table to
a more generic 'cid' (cache identifier). It's no longer for
URLs only.
- Made the "cache_set()" function ASNI compliant such that it
will play nice with other databases such as Postgres.
- Added some extra input checking.
- Updated the old caching code in the functions "page_header()"
and "page_footer()" to use the new, generic cache API.
- Updated "update.php" to make the required SQL changes.
+ Improved input filtering; this should make the news items look
more consistent in terms of mark-up.
+ Quoted all array indices: converted all instances of $foo[bar]
to $foo["bar"]. Made various other changes to make the import
module compliant with the coding style.
- theme.inc:
+ Fixed small XHTML glitch
- comment system:
+ Made it possible for users to edit their comments (when certain
criteria are matched).
+ Renamed the SQL table field "lid" to "nid" and updated the code
to reflect this change: this is a rather /annoying/ change that
has been asked for a few times. It will impact the contributed
BBS/forum modules and requires a tiny SQL update:
sql> ALTER TABLE comments CHANGE lid nid int(10) NOT NULL;
+ Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
comment.module where it belongs. This also marks a first step
towards removing/reducing "node.php".
+ Added a delete button to the comment admin form and made it so
that Drupal prompts for confirmation prior to deleting a comment
from the database. This behavior is similar to that of deleting
nodes.
+ Disabled comment moderation for now.
+ Some of the above changes will make it easier to integrate the
upcomcing mail-to-web and web-to-mail gateways. They are part
of a bigger plan. ;)
- node system:
+ Made it so that updating nodes (like for instance updating blog
entries) won't trigger the submission rate throttle.
+ Fixed a small glitch where a node's title wasn't always passed
to the $theme->header() function.
+ Made "node_array()" and "node_object()" more generic and named
them "object2array()" and "array2object()".
+ Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
comment.module where it belongs. This also marks a first step
towards removing/reducing "node.php".
- misc:
+ Applied three patches by Foxen. One to improve performance of
the book module, and two other patches to fix small glitches in
common.inc. Thanks Foxen!
In all themes, except Marvin which already had $title, I put the $title first, because it's usually the thing the page is about:
"The future of weblogs? - Drop.org"
"Your account settings - Drop.org"
rather than the other way around, right?
+ Added (1) support for "PHP pages" (dynamic pages), and (2) made
it possible to link other node types into the book's tree/outline.
It works just fine, yet the only (obvious) downside of (2) is
that the navigation tree/links gets "interrupted" when you view
non-book pages in the book.
[SQL update required, see update.php]
+ Tidied up the book table.
[SQL update required, see update.php]
- various updates:
+ Fine-tuned the new node system.
+ Updated the inline/code documentation.
+ Improved teaser handling of all node types.
+ Made several small usability improvements to the node admin
pages.
- Fixed a glitch in the book overview in the admin section.
- When updating a book page through the admin section, no new revision
is created unless explictely specified.
- Improved the usability of the node and book pages a little.
- Bugfix: the "Edit comments" part of the node administration pages did not
display the correct comments.
- Bugfix: somethimes, update in a book page would mess up the book.
- Improvement: when "node administrators" update a book page through the
"update this book page"-link (like regular users do), their update will
be subject to moderation.
- Improvement: made some intermediate changes to the filter mechanism. Needs
more work.
- Made the /comment links/ jump to the comments instead of to the top
of the page.
- Replaced the "Add comment"-button by a "add new comment"-link.
(This should make UnConeD jump up and down of wild excitement.)
- Moved all comment related logic from theme.inc and node.module to
comment.inc and comment.module (where they belong).
- Added some links to ease the site's usability/navigation.
as this breaks revisions.
- modified link_node() to take a third parameter $main, which will be passed on
to _link hooks. This lets modules decide which links a node will get when
shown on the main page, or when not.
- updated themes to use the new syntax.

- updated themes to use the new syntax.
+ Made the filters work again!
+ There is one strange thing that I can't track down though: for some
reason, "^M" characters (?) are padded after newline ("\n" and / or
"\r") characters.
+ Changed node_form() to use good ol' tables instead of div/CSS-tags.
+ Revised the "revision API": I think we have both an easy and powerful
API now that should make everyone happy.
+ Improved the usability of the rollback functionality a bit.
+ Removed the "view node" link from the "node overview" page in the
admin section and added a "delete node" link instead.
+ Added a few missing translations; there might be missing more
translations though.
- book.module:
+ Made the book module use the "revision API" instead of having it poke
and use the innards and underlying details of the revision system.
- queue.module:
+ Made the queue module use the improved revision number.
- module.inc:
+ Applied Moshe's patch: added more arguments to module_invoke()
- mail-to-sql.pl:
+ Added support for more header fields and for folded fields
Notes:
- no database updates required
+ fixed a typo in node_load(): it should be faster now
- book module:
+ removed the functions book_parent() and book_parent_query() as
they were no longer needed. Gerhard & co: this should fix the
occasional SQL errors you get, and should improve performance.
+ made the "next", "previous" and "up" links work correctly ...
+ XHTML-ified the code
+ added some missing translations
I'm working on the book module now to make it possible to update book
pages.
Drupal to display submission guidelines, or any other kind of explanation
such as "NO TEST POSTS", for example.
- Added node versioning: it is possible to create revisions, to view old
revisions and to roll-back to older revisions. You'll need to apply a
SQL update.
I'm going to work on the book module now, so I might be changing a few
things to enable collaborative, moderated revisions - but feel free to
send some first feedback, if you like.
- Added some configuration options which can be used to set the minimum
number of words a blog/story should consist of. Hopefully this will
be usefull to stop the (almost empty) test blogs.
- Various improvements:
+ Fine-tuned new node permission system.
+ Fine-tuned the functions in node.inc.
+ Fine-tuned some forms.
+ XHTML-ified some code.
+ introduced basic node permissions ("create", "delete", "update" and
"view") at the node level: it's up to the "<$node->type>_module" to
hide gory details (if any).
+ made the "blog it"-feature in the blog and import module work with
the new node system, in specific with the new centralized forms.
+ made it possible to update blogs.
+ made the page module work with the new node system.
+ various smaller improvements.
