- Addition: added a new function "module_hook($module, $hook)" to check
  wether a module implements a certain hook or not.

  They both return a linked string with the respective category,
  or topic name.  Updated all themes to use these new functions.

- (stripped tabs from emsa files, nevermind)

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.

- a few changes which might help overcome Jeroen's redeclartion problem
  (or might not)

- forgot to disable some debug information

Large commit, read it carefully, and make the required changes to
your theme:

- corrected some missing translations in story.module.  Oops!
- grealty simplified the "moderation threshold mechanism"(tm) so
  that module writers don't have to worry about this.  As a result
  story.module and book.module became a bit smaller and easier to
  grasp.
- greatly simplified new "category" and "topic" code which is soon
  going to replace the "section" code.  Needs more work though so
  hang on thight.
- includes/section.inc and modules/section.module are replaced by
  includes/structure.module and modules/structure.module.
- beautified example.theme a bit without adding HTML complexity:
  it is a good example but still useful as a theme
- made theme example use "categories" and "topics"
    --> TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND UPDATE YOUR THEME
- made theme marvin use "categories" and "topics"
    --> TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND UPDATE YOUR THEME
- added 2 new "story listings" to administrator interface of
  story.module to verify story integrity.
- optimized comment table a bit (work in progress)

- make the version CVS function a bit better

- 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

- improved settings.module and fixed a few quircks along the way:
   + added "reset to defaults"
   + added "development settings" - for drupal development only
   + made a few things more consistent

- tidied up the old code

- node_save returns the $nid --> can come in very handy one day :)

- added new variable: theme_footer which can be used to provide a
  footer message like a copyright notice. Themes should use this!

- added new variable: theme_footer which can be used to provide a
  footer message like a copyright notice. Themes should use this!
- small improvement to example theme
- added theme_footer to theme marvin
- small improvement to database.inc

- preliminary section code - does _not_ work yet

- See whether this fixes your problem and if it does not, take a look
  at what I tried to do. :)

Last nights updates (under construction):
  - added _type() hook so each module can return the content types he/she
    implements

  the new section code easier: preparations as we often call it. ;)

- fixed a small SQL bug in page.module
- slightly improved story.module, node.module and book.module
- made the "default theme" a setting from the setting page
- polished a bit on the export function: we can now export the
  book or parts thereof through the following url:

    1.  http://drop.org/export/book/
          (full book)
    2.  http://drop.org/export/book/nid
          (where nid is the node id to start with)

  The export routine demonstrates how it can be done yet the
  output is too basic and can only improve over time.

- small improvements to node.inc

- small fine-tuning

- improved rating module: it now shows some basic statistics :-)
- updated database files
- removed affialiate-site and drupal-site module: maintain them
  by hand through a box for now will you.

- small update to gravity

- fixed bug in common.inc: throttle()
- streamlined method invocation in node.inc
- added node_status() function to modules
- added NEW (mostly static) page module
- added NEW settings module

A lot of small changes (search-n-replace) make a big commit:

  - 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

- a bunch of various updates

- various smaller improvements

Last night's updates:

 - improved "track drop.org": it has now 2 boxes, one for "track
   comments" and one for "track nodes"
 - various small improvements to the book module based on the
   feedback we got.
 - fixed typo in moderation module
 - ...

Commiting my work of last Sunday:

 - removed ban.inc and ban.module and integrated it in account.module
   under the name "access control" --> the ban code was not really up
   to standard so this has now been dealt with.  This refactoring and
   reintegration cuts down the code size with 100 lines too.  :-)
   (The ban.module code was really old and it showed.)

 - added node.module and made the other modules reuse some of this
   code --> cut down the code size of modules by at least 100 lines
   and adds stability.

 - added a status() function to admin.php to display a conform status
   message where appropriate.  See admin.php for usage.

 - removed $theme->control() and made comments.inc handle this itself
   wrapped in a $theme->box().  No need to clutter the themes with
   such complexity --> updated all themes already. :-)

 - some small visual changes to some administration pages to be more
   consistent across different modules.

- simplified some of the node stuff:
    stories can no longer be scheduled -> this functionality will be made
    generic for all nodes

- worked even more on the robustness of include/node.inc

- fixed another bug

- fixed bug in section.module: id -> nid
- fixed bug in book.module: not 100% yet

- fixed "you-have-to-logout-and-login-before-permissions-change" bug
  (reported by UnConeD)
- added "add node" link to book selection box and made it display the
  current location
- removed tabs and whitespaces from themes - done automatically

- fixed update bug

- fixed typo in hostname.conf

- visual improvements to example.theme, simplified HMTL code (- 20
  lines)
- made node.inc more robust: it should roll-back when something goes
  fubar and it should work in subdirectories

- fixed issue depricated call-by-reference issues
- fixed small visual glitch in includes/function.inc
- changed SQL tables around a bit to be more consistent
  (result: small changes to a lot of different files)
- improved robustness of includes/node.inc
- improved output of cron.module
- improved output of node.php

- made the node code a bit more rock-solid - needs more work and
  testing!
- you can't add a node with the same title twice within 5 minutes
  (to avoid reposting by accidentically reloading your page after
  having posted)
