- 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 ...
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.
+ Important:
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
structure.module either needs work, or replacement by index.module:
see "admin > node > node settings".
It will do for now and it can always made better when we can think
of a better solution; it is the best I could think of. Now what?
index.module or structure.module? I'm currently pro index.module.
- Drastically simplified "variable.inc".
- Removed most dependecies on structure.module from all content related
modules. Thus making our modules more modular. ;)
- Fixed calculation glitch in queue.module.
- Fixed potential function name clash/conflict in rating.module, and
simplified some code on my way.
- Started removing all global variables $status and $rstatus. Global
variables are "yucky" so in near future, we will replace all global
$status variables by a call to node_status(). Originally, $status
was only introduced as a temporary hack and nothing is as permanent
as a temporary hack so I took it out when still possible.
- Changed the watchdog messages a bit.
for the different content types. These weights are used when
calculating each user's gravity. This is a required step before
we can even think of "nodifying" the diary or headline module.
- Polished a bit more on the other modules' crons.
- 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
node-forms more secure. Updated "node.module" and "queue.module"
to work with the new API.
The upgrade script, 2.00-to-x.xx.php, is still broken and needs
fixing.
+ 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.
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!".
- Added moderator permissions to nodes.
- Added moderator support to structure.module.
- Added new moderate.module.
- Renamed moderation.module to queue.module to avoid confusing.
Updated theme yaroon as it seems to have a hard-coded reference
to moderation.module.
- Polished on:
+ account.module: improved access list
+ fixed HTML typo in node.module
ACTIONS:
- Jeroen: can jeroen2.theme be removed from ./themes/yaroon?
