- Tidied up submit.php (submission page) a bit.

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 ...

- Merged "system settings" and "module settings" into one page.  IMHO
  it wasn't a good idea to split them up in first place, and it turned
  out to be quite hard to decide where to put some variables.

  Also moved some variables around and even renamed a few variables
  while doing so.

- Added a page_header() and page_footer() to all top-level .php pages.

- Improved watchdog and submission throttle: removed redundant code,
  streamlined the existing code, added new watchdog type called "httpd"
  for Apache errors.  The latter should make it easier to add watchdog
  filters later on.

- Clarified some watchdog messages.

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.

- Created 2 new functions:
    + 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.

- Added custom PHP error handler to track down warnings and errors.
  (Jeroen: let's sit back and wait until that warning bites again.)

- Simplified drupal.module.  We still need a feature list, anyone?

- Uhm.  Rewrote the module system: less code clutter, less run-time
  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.

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?

- 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.

- 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

- small improvement to submission form

- large commit of everything else that has been queued in my backlog:
  it's not 100% stable yet

- fixed small bug in submit.php

- applied David Norman's patch to turn all <?'s into fully qualified
  <?php's.

- more small improvements

- 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. ;)

- improved the "menu" hook
- replaced the "open submission queue" (submission.php and submission.inc)
  with an optional module (submission.module).
- tidied up the HTML code of some files

- More updates on the translation support

- initial import of the preliminary translation code.
- added timer.inc for benchmarking purpose
- bugfix for php-clean
- bugfix for account.php
- removed redundant format_data
- ...

- removed redundant spaces

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.

- fixed "return to parent" glitch when a thread has more then 1 child

- created 2 new functions; check_textfield() and check_textarea() and
  integrated them were appropriate.  It works better and the code is
  more readable then it used to be:
    (see http://drop.org/discussion.php?id=44&pid=0#0)

- story authors can no longer moderate their own stories
    (requested by Natrak)

- fix inie-winnie small detail in theme marvin

- fixed 2 small bugs in account.php
- drastically improved administration section
- drastically revamped story administration:
  added new feature to schedule the publishing of stories
- applied correct naming conventions to submission.php
- fixed 1 small glitch in boxes
- somewhat expanded the documentation
= changed one SQL table
- updated the faq with info on drupal
- ... and more things I forgot about

- here a bunch of changes to make "drupal" (for now) work with PHP 4.0.4
- tidied up some of the code and mainly working on the documentation

Surprise, surprise.  After nothing but code, a large batch of changes:
 - removed droplets
 - added (optional) admin_blocks module
 - added (optional) affiliate module
 - added (optional) about module (only placeholder, under construction)
 - fixed some tiny bugs (e.g. quote bug in search.php)
 - partionally rewrote some modules to be big, bad and better
 - partionally rewrote some modules to be more uniform
 - added GNU GPL license to CVS

Also:
 - installed PHP 4.0.4 on my localhost and now working
   towards PHP 4.0.4 compatibility.
 - I think I'll baptize the engine "drupal".  If you have a
   better idea, try convincing me ASAP.

Todo:
 - more testing (also with PHP 4.0.4)
 - make "project"-module: download, info, blah blah
 - complete documentation

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.

Again, a large batch of updates - I'm twisting things around here:

 1. improved .htaccess to be more "secure": to keep prying
    eyes out

 2. rewrote the administration section from scratch using a
    modular approach

 3. improved the information gathered by error.php - we can
    now (hopefully) track what bots are crawling us.

 4. fixed a bug in submit.php, fixed a bug in theme zaphod,
    fixed a bug in theme marvin.

 5. rewrote cron from scratch - it now interfaces with
    modules as it should have been from the beginning.
    Very cool if you ask me - it can use UNIX/Linux
    crontabs.

 6. updated widget.inc to be module aware - needs more
    work though - maybe this afternoon?

 7. updated most modules: small bugfixes, improvements, and
    even the documentation

 8. removed diary.php and made it a module - you can now
    run a drop.org site without a diary system if someone
    would prefer so

 9. updated all themes to use the new modules where
    appropriate

 10. added a robots.txt because the error message in the
     watchdog become annoying.

 11. added the new configuration system (mutliple vhosts
     on the same source tree) - use hostname.conf instead
     of config.inc

 12. removed calendar.inc and made it a module

 13. added format_interval() to functions.inc (UnConeD)

 14. whatever I forgot ...

- a first file which uses blobs - as a test/debug case

- large batch of updated files featuring various changes: big, small and
  new stuff!

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.

- fixed bug in discussion.php
- theme update: comment() now takes 3 arguments:
    $comment - an object with comment data
    $link    - a link to the reply form of that particular
               comment
    $thread  - the subthread of that particular comment
- theme 'marvin' and theme 'zaphod' are updated, theme
  'unconed' is left to be done

- Fixed quote bug in the comment tracker.
  (suggestion UnConeD)
- Added anchors to comment links to easy comment navigation.
  (suggestion UnConeD)
- Fixed duplicate `you voted' after moderating a story.
  (suggestion UnConeD)
- Fixed quote bug in administration center.
- Expanded user administration with timezone information.
- Improved the theme system by eliminating the "preview" function.
  Let's not make the system more complex then it ought to be.
- Refined watchdog administration.
- ...
