* - Uhm. Rewrote the module system: less code clutter, less run-timeDries Buytaert2001-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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!".
* Welp. Large commit ahead.Dries Buytaert2001-04-30
CHANGES: - Added "read" and "write" permissions into drupal but removed it again because - when finished after 3 hours of work - it was considered nothing but added complexity that didn't buy us anything. :I (I'll explain this in detail on the mailing list, I guess.) - Added a very simple help.module to group all available documentation on a single page. - Fixed bug in node_control(), book.module: UnConeD forgot to global $user when updating the combobox code. - Removed static wishlist.module: in future, the wishlist can be maintained as a page in our collaborative book. - Revised most of settings.module: tidied up the code and the descriptions to accompany the settings and introduced a new "default maximum number of nodes to display on the main page" variable. - Revised most of comment.module: the administration interface looks better now, integrated node permissions, and -finally- made it possible to delete comments. - Polished on: + account.module + structure.module + locale.module + module.module + forum.module - Form-ified: + account.php + account.module + setting.module + cvs.module + submit.php + comment.module + forum.module + book.module + page.module + locale.module - Updated CHANGELOG INFO: - Designed a "generic tracker system with optional backends" on paper. The idea is to allow registered users to hot-list certain topics, individual nodes or threads (comments) and to "plug-in" output backends like - for instance - an e-mail digest. The design requires "intelligent blocks" though. TODO: - I want to tidy up the headline.module and backend.class as well as merge in headlineRSS10.module. Julian spent quite some time working on headline.module but I'm not sure what he changed and whether he'd contribute it back?
