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
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.
- improved web interface of account module.
- added simple permission system with both administrators
and regular users. It can be made more fine-grained but
it will do for now.
- various small enhancements to the other modules, but
nothing big.
site:
- watchdog (rewrite):
+ the collected information provides more details and insights
for post-mortem research
+ input limitation
- database abstraction layer:
+ mysql errors are now verbose and is no longer displayed in a
browser - fixes a possible security risk
- admin.php:
+ updated watchdog page
+ fixed security flaw
- diary.php:
+ fixed nl2br problem
- themes:
+ fixed comment bug in all 3 themes.
- misc:
+ renamed some global variables for sake of consistency:
$sitename --> $site_name
$siteurl --> $site_url
+ added input check where (a) exploitable and (b) possible
+ added input size check
+ various small improvements
+ fixed various typoes
... and much, much more in fact.
visual changes:
- removed redundant files user.class.php, calendar.class.php
and backend.class.php.
- converted *all* mysql queries to queries supported by the
database abstraction layer.
- expanded the watchdog to record more information on what
actually happened.
- bugfix: anonymous readers where not able to view comments.
- bugfix: anonymous readers could gain read-only access to
the submission queue.
- bugfix: invalid includes in backend.php
- bugfix: invalid use of '$user->block'
and last but not least:
- redid 50% of the user account system
