The syntax for db_query_range() was enhanced so it matches db_query(). So
you may pass extra arguments of the SQL statement which are checked via
check_query() and then substituted into the SQL statement. After these
optional arguments, you always pass $from and $count parameters which
define your range. Most often, the $from is 0 and the count is the max
number of records you want returned. Patch by Moshe.
- The pager_query() function for PEAR was enhanced so that it adds proper
GROUP BY statement counting the number of records to be paged. Patch by
James Arthur.
- MSSQL database scheme by Moshe.
- the index link ("View this book's table of contents.") which pointed
to http://drupal/book instead of to ... this book's table of contents.
- it doesn't print "previous", "next", "up", "index" if there are no
"previous", "next", "up", "index"
- it doesn't print "index" if "up" /is/ the "index"
- it swaps the order of "up" and "index", ie. "up" is in the row above
"index", between "previous" and "next" now. this is more logical and the
way all tree-browsing apps (python doc, info, ...) do it.
- Added node_admin_settings() to let users set node defaults.
* Added _nodeapi("conf")
- Modified form_checkbox() to unset options. (Modified the patch from Ax.)
- Removed the _save() hook.
- Fixed a logical flaw in field_get() and field_set() which would break
moderation.
- Moved some admin menus around and cleaned up some typos.
The following modules need updating:
* glossary module
* feed module (Breyten's version)
* mailhandler module
* notify module
* project module
* smileys module
* admin module
* style module
* taxonomy_dhtml module
To avoid unexpected problems menu_add() is deprecated (it will print an
error message when used) and menu() should be used instead.
+ Removed the "post content" permission and replaced it by more fine-grained permissions such as "maintain static pages", "maintain personal blog", "maintain stories", etc.
o Usability improvements to teasers:
+ Teaser forms are no more. Teasers are extracted automatically but can also be instructed using a delimiter "---". Furthermore, when a post it too short for a teaser, the user won't be bother with teaser stuff anymore.
+ Added an option to set the teaser length, or to disable teasers all together.
+ When previewing a post, both the short (if any) and the full version of a post are shown. This addresses a common complaint; for example, when writing a book page there was no way you could preview the short version of your post.
+ Forum posts can be teasered now. This is particularly helpful in the context of drupal.org where we promote forum topics.
o Bugfix: replaced all PHP short tags (<?) with long tags (<?php).
o Bugfix: removed hard-coded dependence on comment module.
o Bugfix: when the queue module was disabled, it was not possible to approve updated book pages.
o Bugfix: applied modified version of Marco's node_teaser() fix.
- Fixed a bug with get_tree and multiple parents.
- Fixed 3 wrong caches (this will avoid some queries).
- Extension to taxonomy_term_count_nodes() (feature #159): "currently
calling taxonomy_term_count_nodes() returns the amount of nodes in each
term, would it be possible to extend this function so that it would only
return the amount of nodes of a certain type under each term.
- Confirm deleting a vocabulary or a term (requested by Moshe).
- Use form_weight() in vocabulary and term forms.
- After submitting a term, we end up at the term page (requested by Moshe).
- Added status messages when adding, editing and deleting vocabularies and
terms
- Minor clean ups
* Made sure all modules use the same link delimiter; "|" for now.
now be changed on the book overview page in the admin page. Editing the
"Drupal handbook" (100+ pages?) on drupal.org became a time-consuming
process, hence these improvements ...
- 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.
- fixed access checks on the register form, do this before you enter the
_save function. If registrations are disabled the register link will
no longer show (again).
- changed » to », using the names of entities are better than
the numbers.
- fixed user information being set when account is registered (properly this
time, really!)
- reversed the if(!...) commit.
- node_add specifies more defaults.
- added link to blog entries from user page.
- updated node modules not to cause errors when taxonomy module is disabled.
- added %date variable to user mail configuration.
- added hyperlinks to admin.php?mod=system (site configuration) for easy access.
- usual coding style and xhtml fixes.
* fixed mails not being parsed properly.
* tracker now shows user name when you view your own recent
comments.
* link to submission queue now points to the right place.
* fixed jabber module.
* theme is now activated when changed.
- applied Gerhards coding style patch.
+ Changed the db_query() API.
+ Wrapped all links in l(), lm(), la(), ..., drupal_url() functions.
+ XHTML-ified some HTML.
+ Wrapped a lot of text in the administrative pages in a t()
function.
+ Replaced all $REQUEST_URI/$PATH_INFOs by request_uri().
+ Small bugfixes (eg. bug in book_export_html() and clean-ups (eg.
RSS code).
+ Fixed some bugs in the taxonomy module (eg. tree making bug), added
new functionality (eg. new APIs for use by other modules), included
Moshe's taxonomy extensions, and some documentation udpates.
+ ...
Committing Changes by Moshe Weitzman:
- admin_user_account(), user_edit(), and user_view() no longer have any
hard code for authentication modules. instead authentication modules
implement the _user hook.
- fixed a couple 'help' typos.
- linked the 'REGISTER' text in the login block to the register page.
this page now advertises DA better if site employs DA.
- admins may now edit everything about a user account (was a feature
request).
- user #1 may now login immediately, in addition to receiving his
password via email.
Other changes:
- modules and themes are now enabled/disabled in the administrative /
settings / modules | themes pages. Requires SQL update and things must
be enabled before your site returns to normal. TODO: enable all
functionality. (For now just do UPDATE system SET status = 1;)
- removed $themes from conf.php.
- added a $theme->system() function where theme can specify settings.
All themes in the Drupal CVS have been updated to use this.
- added _system hook to modules. TODO: update modules to use this.
- changed strange use of sprintf to the usual strtr. The disadvantage of
sprintf is that it requires translations to keep the string order,
which may not be possible in all languages.
- an invalid/nonexisting theme in a user profile will now fallback to the
BaseTheme instead of crashing.
login and one for user information.
- added link to help in book module (post-patch, see below).
- applied various patches:
Patch by Greg Tyrelle <greg@tyrelle.net>
- tracker module now shows usernames next to comments.
Patch by Moshe Weitzman <moshe@wallaware.com>
- book module has a more complete help.
- added administrative link to export book to html
- fixed non book nodes not showing up in trees.
Patch by moshe weitzman <weitzman@tejasa.com>
- links can be defined in the configuration file.
can jump directly to a certain date in the archives. Also made
the calendar link to itself such that it is self-contained.
- Code beautifications: quoted a lot of arrays, removed dead code
and simplified a few things.
- Replaced the Calendar class by one function "calendar_display":
using a class (or class instance, or object) doesn't make sense
in the archives' case.
- Renamed "calendar.module" to "archive.module".
- Fixed a /problem/ with node settings not always being saved like
expected.
- Reorganized the user menu: renamed a couple of links for clarity
and structure.
- Fixed a few typos.
+ Improved input filtering; this should make the news items look
more consistent in terms of mark-up.
+ Quoted all array indices: converted all instances of $foo[bar]
to $foo["bar"]. Made various other changes to make the import
module compliant with the coding style.
- theme.inc:
+ Fixed small XHTML glitch
- comment system:
+ Made it possible for users to edit their comments (when certain
criteria are matched).
+ Renamed the SQL table field "lid" to "nid" and updated the code
to reflect this change: this is a rather /annoying/ change that
has been asked for a few times. It will impact the contributed
BBS/forum modules and requires a tiny SQL update:
sql> ALTER TABLE comments CHANGE lid nid int(10) NOT NULL;
+ Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
comment.module where it belongs. This also marks a first step
towards removing/reducing "node.php".
+ Added a delete button to the comment admin form and made it so
that Drupal prompts for confirmation prior to deleting a comment
from the database. This behavior is similar to that of deleting
nodes.
+ Disabled comment moderation for now.
+ Some of the above changes will make it easier to integrate the
upcomcing mail-to-web and web-to-mail gateways. They are part
of a bigger plan. ;)
- node system:
+ Made it so that updating nodes (like for instance updating blog
entries) won't trigger the submission rate throttle.
+ Fixed a small glitch where a node's title wasn't always passed
to the $theme->header() function.
+ Made "node_array()" and "node_object()" more generic and named
them "object2array()" and "array2object()".
+ Moved most (all?) of the comment related logic from node.php to
comment.module where it belongs. This also marks a first step
towards removing/reducing "node.php".
- misc:
+ Applied three patches by Foxen. One to improve performance of
the book module, and two other patches to fix small glitches in
common.inc. Thanks Foxen!
+ made a small change in the node overview page in the admin section
such that it lists both new and updated pages by default.
+ reworked the filter-mechanism: it is not 100% finished yet but it
sure is taking shape.
+ Added (1) support for "PHP pages" (dynamic pages), and (2) made
it possible to link other node types into the book's tree/outline.
It works just fine, yet the only (obvious) downside of (2) is
that the navigation tree/links gets "interrupted" when you view
non-book pages in the book.
[SQL update required, see update.php]
+ Tidied up the book table.
[SQL update required, see update.php]
- various updates:
+ Fine-tuned the new node system.
+ Updated the inline/code documentation.
+ Improved teaser handling of all node types.
+ Made several small usability improvements to the node admin
pages.
- Fixed a glitch in the book overview in the admin section.
- When updating a book page through the admin section, no new revision
is created unless explictely specified.
- Improved the usability of the node and book pages a little.
load the most recent revision that matches the specified conditions.
Like that we can load the last good revision of a book page using the
line: book_revision_load($page, array("moderate" => 0, "status" => 1)).
- Bugfix: the "Edit comments" part of the node administration pages did not
display the correct comments.
- Bugfix: somethimes, update in a book page would mess up the book.
- Improvement: when "node administrators" update a book page through the
"update this book page"-link (like regular users do), their update will
be subject to moderation.
- Improvement: made some intermediate changes to the filter mechanism. Needs
more work.
+ Re-introduced and re-wrote the book admin pages; there is a separate
page for every book and a page with all "orphan pages" (= pages that
got de-linked).
+ Added the "delete node"-link: apparently it got lost during the last
commit. Odd.
+ Changed "Edit node" to "Edit <node_name>" on the 'edit node'-page of
the admin section. (There a 4 "Node"s that still need to be removed
though.)
+ Updated the initial submission page (the old submit.php) to include
some descriptions.
+ Changed node_form() to use good ol' tables instead of div/CSS-tags.
+ Revised the "revision API": I think we have both an easy and powerful
API now that should make everyone happy.
+ Improved the usability of the rollback functionality a bit.
+ Removed the "view node" link from the "node overview" page in the
admin section and added a "delete node" link instead.
+ Added a few missing translations; there might be missing more
translations though.
- book.module:
+ Made the book module use the "revision API" instead of having it poke
and use the innards and underlying details of the revision system.
- queue.module:
+ Made the queue module use the improved revision number.
- module.inc:
+ Applied Moshe's patch: added more arguments to module_invoke()
- mail-to-sql.pl:
+ Added support for more header fields and for folded fields
Notes:
- no database updates required
+ fixed a typo in node_load(): it should be faster now
- book module:
+ removed the functions book_parent() and book_parent_query() as
they were no longer needed. Gerhard & co: this should fix the
occasional SQL errors you get, and should improve performance.
+ made the "next", "previous" and "up" links work correctly ...
+ XHTML-ified the code
+ added some missing translations
I'm working on the book module now to make it possible to update book
pages.
Drupal to display submission guidelines, or any other kind of explanation
such as "NO TEST POSTS", for example.
- Added node versioning: it is possible to create revisions, to view old
revisions and to roll-back to older revisions. You'll need to apply a
SQL update.
I'm going to work on the book module now, so I might be changing a few
things to enable collaborative, moderated revisions - but feel free to
send some first feedback, if you like.
- Added some configuration options which can be used to set the minimum
number of words a blog/story should consist of. Hopefully this will
be usefull to stop the (almost empty) test blogs.
- Various improvements:
+ Fine-tuned new node permission system.
+ Fine-tuned the functions in node.inc.
+ Fine-tuned some forms.
+ XHTML-ified some code.
+ introduced basic node permissions ("create", "delete", "update" and
"view") at the node level: it's up to the "<$node->type>_module" to
hide gory details (if any).
+ made the "blog it"-feature in the blog and import module work with
the new node system, in specific with the new centralized forms.
+ made it possible to update blogs.
+ made the page module work with the new node system.
+ various smaller improvements.
'updates/3.00-to.x.xx.mysql' for the required MySQL updates.
- Renamed some "author" fields to "uid" fields for sake of consistency.
- Fixed the coding style of some PHP files.
- Fixed the moderation queue (fairly untested though).
- Re-introduced the temporary SQL table in _node_get().
- Added a missing 'auto_increment' to 'updates/3.00-to-x.xx.mysql'.
range of databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and others.
For additional information and an 'how to upgrade', check the mails
sent to the mailing list.
- fixed small glitch in comment_del()
- changed the API of the form() function. The first parameter, the
"action"-attribute in the <form>-tag has been made optional. By
default, it will be set to "$REQUEST_URI".
Why? Because in 98% of the cases we would do:
global $REQUEST_URI;
$form = form($REQUEST_URI, $form_content);
while we can do:
$form = form($form_content);
now.
Update your modules (and sorry for the inconvenience)!
- fixed book.module not generating next/prev links properly
- re-added default node options to the admin page
- fixed a potential bug in node.php. Nodes with same titles were confusing it
at times, should fix the bug reported by Gerhard Killesreiter.
- 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.
- 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 ...
