- 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.

to both syndicate an particular user's latest blog entries, or the
latest entries of all users.

the item descriptions, etc.
- Fixed small bug in common.inc.
- Updated database.mysql
+ Made '$na' translatable on popular demand.

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!
(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.
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.
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!
- Changed all 'attribute' to 'attributes'.

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
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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!".
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.
- 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.
- 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
the index page will only display stories for now but this will/can
change in the near future
- all other files now thinks in terms of nodes, rather then stories
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.
- removed droplets
- added (optional) admin_blocks module
- added (optional) affiliate module
- added (optional) about module (only placeholder, under construction)
- fixed some tiny bugs (e.g. quote bug in search.php)
- partionally rewrote some modules to be big, bad and better
- partionally rewrote some modules to be more uniform
- added GNU GPL license to CVS
Also:
- installed PHP 4.0.4 on my localhost and now working
towards PHP 4.0.4 compatibility.
- I think I'll baptize the engine "drupal". If you have a
better idea, try convincing me ASAP.
Todo:
- more testing (also with PHP 4.0.4)
- make "project"-module: download, info, blah blah
- complete documentation
- I rearranged some of the code and clean-up some of the mess.
- Added "blocks" which can be user defined/controlled: check
to see. The positioning of blocks is rather basic for the
moment, so I'm all open for input on that.
