* CHANGESDries Buytaert2001-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Rewrote the cron system. Removed cron.module and moved all cron related options to settings.module. Cron was a confusing thing: it has been made simpler both in terms of code and configuration. + You had to rehash your modules to make the cron show up in the list. This is no longer required. + You couldn't tell what cron "watchdog" or cron "story" were up to. Instead, we now display a clear description message for every cron involved. + The user interface of setting.module - and the admin section in general, looks a bit ackward but I couldn't care less and don't want to see this improve at the time being. - Improved setting.module: + Now uses variable_set(). + Added some help and documentaition on how to setup cron. - Improved ./export. - Updated CHANGELOG. TODO: - I'm now going to look into UnConeD's question with regard to check_output() and $theme->node(), as well as the filter and macro stuff. I'll probably be fine-tuning setting.module a bit more on my way.
* - Created 2 new functions:Dries Buytaert2001-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | + path_uri(): returns the fully-qualified URI of your drupal site. + path_img(): returns the image directory or http://image-server.com/ in case you prefer to load-balance bandwidth usage. Replaced all occurences of the variable "site_url" with path_uri() and removed "site_url" from "setting.module". - Drastically simplified the node_save() API, which should make the node-forms more secure. Updated "story.module", "book.module", "forum.module", "page.module" and "node.module" to reflect this change. This is needs more testing so hit it, beat it, tease it. - Fixed an occasional glitch in the configuration file loading logic. - Made "queue.module" display an informative notice when an anonymous user tries accessing the moderation queue. - Updated the hard-coded information in drupal.module a bit.
* - Fixed problem in setting.module: some settings showed up twice.Dries Buytaert2001-05-07

* - 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

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?
* - improved submit.php:Dries Buytaert2001-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:Dries Buytaert2001-04-15
| | | | | | + added "reset to defaults" + added "development settings" - for drupal development only + made a few things more consistent
* - added new variable: theme_footer which can be used to provide aDries Buytaert2001-04-14
| | | | | | | 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
* - fixed a small SQL bug in page.moduleDries Buytaert2001-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - 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.
* - fixed bug in common.inc: throttle()Dries Buytaert2001-04-07
- streamlined method invocation in node.inc - added node_status() function to modules - added NEW (mostly static) page module - added NEW settings module
