+ 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]
