      This is a major change to the system, needs more testing! · 55927616

      Committing Changes by Moshe Weitzman:
      - admin_user_account(), user_edit(), and user_view() no longer have any
        hard code for authentication modules. instead authentication modules
        implement the _user hook.
      - fixed a couple 'help' typos.
      - linked the 'REGISTER' text in the login block to the register page.
        this page now advertises DA better if site employs DA.
      - admins may now edit everything about a user account (was a feature
        request).
      - user #1 may now login immediately, in addition to receiving his
        password via email.
      
      Other changes:
      - modules and themes are now enabled/disabled in the administrative /
        settings / modules | themes pages. Requires SQL update and things must
        be enabled before your site returns to normal. TODO: enable all
        functionality. (For now just do UPDATE system SET status = 1;)
      - removed $themes from conf.php.
      - added a $theme->system() function where theme can specify settings.
        All themes in the Drupal CVS have been updated to use this.
      - added _system hook to modules. TODO: update modules to use this.
      - changed strange use of sprintf to the usual strtr. The disadvantage of
        sprintf is that it requires translations to keep the string order,
        which may not be possible in all languages.
      - an invalid/nonexisting theme in a user profile will now fallback to the
        BaseTheme instead of crashing.

      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!

      - 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".

      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

      - Moved most of the options in structure.module to node.module.  The
        structure.module either needs work, or replacement by index.module:
        see "admin > node > node settings".
      
        It will do for now and it can always made better when we can think
        of a better solution; it is the best I could think of.   Now what?
        index.module or structure.module?  I'm currently pro index.module.
      
      - Drastically simplified "variable.inc".
      
      - Removed most dependecies on structure.module from all content related
        modules.  Thus making our modules more modular.  ;)
      
      - Fixed calculation glitch in queue.module.
      
      - Fixed potential function name clash/conflict in rating.module, and
        simplified some code on my way.
      
      - Started removing all global variables $status and $rstatus.  Global
        variables are "yucky" so in near future, we will replace all global
        $status variables by a call to node_status().  Originally, $status
        was only introduced as a temporary hack and nothing is as permanent
        as a temporary hack so I took it out when still possible.
      
      - Changed the watchdog messages a bit.

      - 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

      Welp.  Large commit ahead.
      
      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.

      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.

      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.

      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)

      - 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

      - 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

      - nodified index.php:
          the index page will only display stories for now but this will/can
          change in the near future
      - all other files now thinks in terms of nodes, rather then stories

      - some important changes to our theme API which can be summerized as:
      
           abstract() + article() = story()
      
        abstract() and article() have been merged into a new function story()
        which looks like:
      
        function story($story_object, $reply) {
          if (!reply) {
             // full story
          }
          else {
             // main page version / abstract
          }
        }
      
        This should allow you to "compress" your theme as abstract() and
        article() tended to be 98% identical.
      
        => I didn't really merge your themes so I leave it up to *you* to
           improved the code!!! Do it ASAP as we release drupal 2.00 in 7
           days.
      
        In future we'll have similar functions for other content types as
        for example:
      
           review($review, $reply);
           enquete($enquete, $reply);
           ...

      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. ;)

      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.

      - 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';

      Yet another large batch of updates:
      
       - I rearranged some of the code and clean-up some of the mess.
      
       - Added "blocks" which can be user defined/controlled: check
         to see.  The positioning of blocks is rather basic for the
         moment, so I'm all open for input on that.

      Another batch with a lot of internal updates, yet no visual changes to the
      site:
      
      - watchdog (rewrite):
         + the collected information provides more details and insights
           for post-mortem research
         + input limitation
      - database abstraction layer:
         + mysql errors are now verbose and is no longer displayed in a
           browser - fixes a possible security risk
      - admin.php:
         + updated watchdog page
         + fixed security flaw
      - diary.php:
         + fixed nl2br problem
      - themes:
         + fixed comment bug in all 3 themes.
      - misc:
         + renamed some global variables for sake of consistency:
            $sitename  -->  $site_name
            $siteurl   -->  $site_url
         + added input check where (a) exploitable and (b) possible
         + added input size check
         + various small improvements
         + fixed various typoes
      
      ... and much, much more in fact.

      A big, fat commit with a shitload of internal changes.  Not that much
      visual changes:
      
      - removed redundant files user.class.php, calendar.class.php
        and backend.class.php.
      - converted *all* mysql queries to queries supported by the
        database abstraction layer.
      - expanded the watchdog to record more information on what
        actually happened.
      - bugfix: anonymous readers where not able to view comments.
      - bugfix: anonymous readers could gain read-only access to
        the submission queue.
      - bugfix: invalid includes in backend.php
      - bugfix: invalid use of '$user->block'
      
      and last but not least:
      
      - redid 50% of the user account system
