GitLab

- large commit of everything else that has been queued in my backlog:
  it's not 100% stable yet

- added nodified story module: story extends node
- removed includes/story.inc as we no longer need it: story.module
  is *really* modular now.

- fixed slash-problem reported by Jared

- applied David Norman's patch to turn all <?'s into fully qualified
  <?php's.

A rather large and important update:

revised most of the SQL queries and tried to make drupal as secure as possible (while trying to avoid redundant/duplicate checks).  For drupal's sake, try to screw something up.  See the mail about PHPNuke being hacked appr. 6 days ago.  The one who finds a problem is rewarded a beer (and I'm willing to ship it to Norway if required).  I beg you to be evil.  Try dumping a table a la "http://localhost/index.php?date=77778;DROP TABLE users" or something. ;)

code revision:
 - shortened and improved the code

- added fine-grained user permission system which allows us to give
  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

- improved layout story.module
- fixed bug in translation

- a 2nd batch of various updates

- added a "search framework" which allows for easy searching
  (to be continued)
- tidyied up some existing code

- added new feature for evaluating purpose: user rating (mojo, karma)!
- removed tabs from Jeroen's theme

- documentation updates contributed by Michael O'Henly <michael@tenzo.com>
  and myself

- fixed 2 small bugs (reported by martin@abol.com)

I know, I know, it is getting nasty lately but I have another large commit after nothing but code.

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.

- 3 small bugfixes

- updated/improved discussion engine: it needs additional fine-tuning
  though but I think this is stable enough for public consumption and
  real-life testing.
   ==> a first big step towards a flexible comment engine.

IMPORTANT:
  - Required theme updatins:

    UnConeD: check your $theme->controls() as I added a very, very
             dummy implementation

  - Required database updates:

    alter table users modify mode tinyint(1) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
    alter table comments change sid lid int(6) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
    alter table comments add link varchar(16) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
    update comments set link = 'story';

- created 2 new functions; check_textfield() and check_textarea() and
  integrated them were appropriate.  It works better and the code is
  more readable then it used to be:
    (see http://drop.org/discussion.php?id=44&pid=0#0)

- story authors can no longer moderate their own stories
    (requested by Natrak)

- fix inie-winnie small detail in theme marvin

- fixed 2 small bugs in account.php
- drastically improved administration section
- drastically revamped story administration:
  added new feature to schedule the publishing of stories
- applied correct naming conventions to submission.php
- fixed 1 small glitch in boxes
- somewhat expanded the documentation
= changed one SQL table
- updated the faq with info on drupal
- ... and more things I forgot about

- bugfix in "Top 10: most recent stories"

- here a bunch of changes to make "drupal" (for now) work with PHP 4.0.4
- tidied up some of the code and mainly working on the documentation

Surprise, surprise.  After nothing but code, a large batch of changes:
 - 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

- some improvements and code polishing
- added a few extra blocks to choose from

- improved web interface of cron module.

- 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.

- added a whole bunch of NEW modules
