GitLab

- A large batch of updates, amongst them a rewritten node system.  More
  information available on the mailing list.

  easier. Also changed the <? tag to <?php in some cases.

- Removed a node's link ID (lid) as discussed on the mailing list.  See
  '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'.

- Fixed the remaining SQL problems when running MySQL in ANSI mode.
  (moderation/comment related)

- PEAR-ification of Drupal by claw: you can now host Drupal on a wide
  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.

- added a comment() function to the base theme: you don't have to overload
  it in your custom themes

- moved 'theme_account()' to the base theme as '$theme->user()' so that it
  can be themed.

- fixed small glitch in node_del()

- 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)!

- comment.inc:
   + when replying to a comment, the author's name was displayd as being 'anonymous'.

- blog.module:
   + fixed the URLs of the links in the "latest blogs"-block.

- a batch of updates, including some experimental changes to the moderation
  of comments and nodes.

- Fixed bug reported by Kristjan and Mike: anonymous users can post
  comments now.

- Improved the comment system so that anonymous users can change the
  comment settings.

  of the user. (Should stop using * in SQL queries :-)

- Added the new user module!

- fix a _bug_ in "max threaded" mode

- Changed the authentication and login scheme as discussed on the mailing
  list.
- Fixed the export function in book.module (patch my Julian).
- Fixed the comment alignment (comments got truncated).

- 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.

- removed comment_controls().
- modified comment_render() to use $theme->comment_controls().

theme.inc
- added BaseTheme->comment_controls().

locale.module
- can now search for status independant of language.
- string is now a regular expression. For wildcard searches do .*text.*.
- can search in modules + pages, all modules or a specific module.

account.php
- fixed viewing other accounts info would show the active users name in the
  real name field.
- now shows users recent contributions and comments (if the user has access to
  them).

- real name is now shown to all users.

page.module
- improved the locale support.

comment.inc
- added a wrapper table for comment_thread_max() as suggested by nick.

- Introduced caching support.

- Tidied up node.inc and node.php a bit.

- Fixed annoyance in comment.inc.

Extremely large commit:

- 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!

- Fixed bug node.module bug:

    + the node scheduler did not un-schedule a node!

- Fixed comment bugs (as a result of the formification):

    + no signatures where being attached to the comments.

    + check_input was used where is should have been check_output,
      with broken filters as the immediate result.

- Fixed typo in comment.inc as result of form-ification.  Replying to
  a node was not possible: clicking the Preview button redirected you
  the main page.

- Fixed a few tiny bugs in comment.inc (introduced by the form-ification).

- Added a brand-new access.module which allows you to manage 'roles'
  (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 ...

Oops, a rather large commit:

- Changed meta.module, node.module and index.php to use comma-seperated
  lists of attributes rather then "foo=a,bar=b" lists.  This makes it a
  a lot easier to use both modules.  In addition, error handling can be
  discarded as it can't be made any simpler, really ...

  It fits rather nicely in Drupal's design so I'm getting more and more
  happy with this meta.module (but we are not 100% there yet).

- node.module, node.inc:

   + Improved the node-related admin interface so that navigating back
     and forth the administrative menus is made both easier and faster.

   + Removed some redundant database fields from the node table.  See
     2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

   + Added 2 news hooks called "node_insert" and "node_update".  Just
     like this is the case with the existing hook "node_delete" these
     new hooks will automatically get called when a node has been
     inserted or udpated.  Note that this is an optional call-back that
     only needs to be implemented when required.  With the addition of
     these two hooks, the node mechanism (version 1) is pretty well
     completed.

- watchdog.module:
   + Fixed bug whit the 'regular messages' query in the watchdog.module.

- book.module:
   + Fixed bug in book.module: the 'parent' was not set properly when
     updating a book page.
   + Made it so that older versions of a book page are automatically
     reactived upon deletion of the most recent version, i.e. when
     doing a version roll-back.

- comment.inc:
   + Undid Remco's patch to comment.inc; it does not work in some cases.


- conf.module:
   + Fine-tuned some of the options in conf.module a bit.

- marvin.theme:
   + Visual changes to make it look better on Windows browsers.  Mind
     to give some feedback on this?
   + Fixed 3 HTML typos/bugs.
   + XHTML-ified the theme at a best effort basis; I didn't carry the
     XHTML specification with me.
   + Made use of the theme_slogan variable to display the site's slogan.
   + As soon we have at least one valid XHTML theme we can wonder on how
     to integrate other XML namespaces (cfr. MathML story at drop.org).

- database.mysql:
   + Updated database.mysql so that it contains all the latest "database
     patches".

- Modified comment.inc to use form_*() functions. Might have some
  side-effects I haven't found yet. Report any problems.

- Fixed typo; missing ".

- Applied Remco's patch, but added a closing </LI>-tag as well.

- Added missing </TD>.
  (Patched by Remco.)

This a rather large commit that needs a lot of fine-tuning.  If you
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

- 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.

- Tidied up the field_get() API and improved the implementation of
  both field_set() and field_get().

- Fixed bug in account.module.

- 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. ;)

- Removed the "history"-field from the SQL table "users" and added
  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

- Addition: added a new, tiny forum module: I will use this forum
  module to develop and test the permission system along with the
  regular nodes.  And hopefully, this forum module will grow into
  a very useable piece of code for drop.org.

  Requires a new SQL table "forum", see 2.00-to-x.xx.sql.

- Removed 1 unused hook from page.module.

- Removed 1 unused function from comment.inc.

- Addition: added a "promote" field to the node table, which
  makes "promoting nodes" to the main page possible.  Stories
  and reviews could be promoted by default, but - on accasion
  a good book entry could be manually promoted too.  Thus all
  existing content types can be shown on the main page, not
  just stories.

  Requires a SQL update, see 2.00-to-x.xx.sql!

- Addition: implemented "auto-post new submissions" feature
  to disable or by-pass the moderation queue in addition to
  "moderate new submissions".

  TODO: admin moderation versus registered user moderation.

- Addition: added category and topic support to page.module.

- Addition: made it so that comments can be enabled/disabled on
  a node per node basis, rather then on a category per category
  basis.  The default settings for each individual category can
  be changed though.

  Example: it can be setup so that - by default - all stories
  posted to the category "article" will have comments enabled
  but stories submitted to "announcement" not.

  Different configuration schemes can easily be added later.

  Requires a SQL update, see 2.00-to-x.xx.sql/database.mysql.

- Addition: made submit.php only use categories that users can
  actually submit new content to.

Another big update so please read this carefully because there is important information hidden in it.

Made it so that we can disable/enable comments on a category by category basis. In order to accomplish this I had to make a few (*temporary*) changes.

I moved all comment code from the "module level" (eg. story.module) to the "node level".  It was nothing but the logical next step in nodifying drupal.  This enables us to add comments to all existing content types including book entries.  But also for book entries, this to can be toggled on and off. :-)

Moreover module writers don't have to worry about the complex comment logic: it is "abstracted" away.  This implies that story.module got smaller, faster and easier to comprehend. :-)

In order to accomplish this, I had to update ALL THEMES, which I did - and on my way I updated Goofy, Oranzh and UnConeD - with the previous changes.  All themes are up-to-date now!  I also had to remove the [ reply to this story ] links, and temporally re-introcuded the "Add comment" button in the "Comment control".  Tempora lly that is, UnConeD. ;)

I plan to upgrade drop.org either tommorow or wednesday so test away if you have some time to kill. ;)

Oh, I also fixed a few bugs and made various small improvements.

- improved submit.php:
  it now uses the new category code, incl content bindings.
  You can setup different "categories" which map on a content
  type.  Example:
    review   -> review.module
    article  -> story.module
    column   -> story.module
    announc. -> story.module
    addons   -> file.module
    themes   -> file.module
- "generalised" story.module and book.module's output.
- fixed bug in includes/timer.inc
- fixed glitch in theme example.theme: it said "$how by" but
  the variable $how has never been declared.
- added "drupal development settings" to display some timings
- more work on the categories/topics -> does NOT work yet
