This makes sense because people will expect attachments to work everywhere when they enable this module. This also matches comment.module's behaviour, where comments are allowed by default unless turned off.
+ If an array of tb urls is given for mt_tb_ping_urls, the last url actually gets pinged twice.
+ mt_allow_comments and mt_convert_breaks were not being sent properly in the xmlrpc response for getPost.
* Don't rely on a blog table (i.e. do 'extended' the drupal way.
* Allow listing / setting new 'input format' - (using mt.supportedTextFilters).
* Handle MT extensions to metaWeblog.newPost/editPost where applicable.
* Implemented mt.supportedMethods.
* Also did a bit of refactoring to make sure we generate post values the same for both newPost/editPost but also for getRecentPosts and getPost
- Restoring broken update path.
- Adding birthday/date function back, with update path.
- Show private fields when viewing your own profile, or for admins.
- Do not allow browsing of private fields for non admins (403)
- Throw a 404 for browsing unbrowsable fields, rather than an SQL error
- Fixing input processing: nothing is filtered twice anymore, and I replaced several strip_tags with specialchars (more flexible).
- Minor admin UI tweaks + added friendly field type names.
* Refactored the "brains" of user_login() to user_authenticate($user, $pass) so that blogapi (and others) can authenticate users (including those using DistAuth) without all the html and drupal_goto calls
* Updates blogapi_validate_user to use user_authenticate.
* Adds missing quotes around the username in "session closed" watchdog messages from user.module (session opened has quotes, but session closed does not).
* Changed "view detals" after watchdog entries to "details".
I had some trouble adding this feature but realized that the "who's online" block is a geek think, and therefore it won't hurt to add some more geekiness. If you don't know what "offline users" means, you would not have understood "online users" in the first place. Either way, I think most people who have the block enabled, will find this an interesting addition.
The new locale module provides every functionality on the web interface, so you don't need to edit the configuration files or add columns, when you add a new language. This module is an integration of the old locale and localegettext modules, plus a bunch of logic to parse Gettext Portable Object files (opposed to Machine Object files, as supported by localegettext).
Note: I made some minor changes to the context-sensitive help texts and to some of the status messages.
Here's an overview of the changes:
1) Multiple Input formats: they are complete filter configurations (what filters to use, in what order and with which settings). Input formats are admin-definable, and usage of them is role-dependant. For example, you can set it up so that regular users can only use limited HTML, while admins can free HTML without any tag limitations.
The input format can be chosen per content item (nodes, comments, blocks, ...) when you add/edit them. If only a single format is available, there is no choice, and nothing changes with before.
The default install (and the upgrade) contains a basic set of formats which should satisfy the average user's needs.
2) Filters have toggles
Because now you might want to enable a filter only on some input formats, an explicit toggle is provided by the filter system. Modules do not need to worry about it and filters that still have their own on/off switch should get rid of it.
3) Multiple filters per module
This was necessary to accomodate the next change, and it's also a logical extension of the filter system.
4) Embedded PHP is now a filter
Thanks to the multiple input formats, I was able to move the 'embedded PHP' feature from block.module, page.module and book.module into a simple filter which executes PHP code. This filter is part of filter.module, and by default there is an input format 'PHP', restricted to the administrator only, which contains this filter.
This change means that block.module now passes custom block contents through the filter system.
As well as from reducing code duplication and avoiding two type selectors for page/book nodes, you can now combine PHP code with other filters.
5) User-supplied PHP code now requires <?php ?> tags.
This is required for teasers to work with PHP code. Because PHP evaluation is now just another step in the filter process, we can't do this. Also, because teasers are generated before filtering, this would result in errors when the teaser generation would cut off a piece of PHP code.
Also, regular PHP syntax explicitly includes the <?php ?> tags for PHP files, so it makes sense to use the same convention for embedded PHP in Drupal.
6) Filter caching was added.
Benchmarking shows that even for a simple setup (basic html filtering + legacy URL rewriting), filtercache can offer speedups. Unlike the old filtercache, this uses the normal cache table.
7) Filtertips were moved from help into a hook_filter_tips(). This was required to accomodate the fact that there are multiple filters per module, and that filter settings are format dependant. Shoehorning filter tips into _help was ugly and silly. The display of the filter tips is done through the input format selector, so filter_tips_short() no longer exists.
8) A more intelligent linebreak convertor was added, which doesn't stop working if you use block-level tags and which adds <p> tags.
