Please update drop.org as soon as possible, coz my crappy poll.mod is making drupal look bad :(

This baby is fixed.

(Hopefully) a fix for the "n.active" watchdog error... forgot that node_get_XXXX() only queries node properties.

- Removed includes/timer.inc: it has been integrated in common.inc.

- Fixed a bug in node.php: UnConeD forgot to update 1 node_get_object().

- I changed the look of theme_morelink() a bit: it might not look better,
  but at least the output is "correct".

- Various small improvements.

- Improved node_get() so that it will try to skip one additional query
  if possible (ie. to reduce the number of queries).

- Automatically removed tabs and trailing spaces from the poll.module.

- Fixed small glitch in locale.module.

- Added the "delete" hook for node-modules. When called, a module should do additional clean-up if necessary.

- Updated all node-modules

- Improved node_preview().  Fixes a problem with poll.module.

- 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.

- Cleaned up the coding style

It's mainly intended as a sideblock-element as there's no real use in having them show up on the mainpage. There's no real poll-browsing system for now either.

I still need to write documentation, and I'm not yet satisfied with the node-output (non-sideblock). I should be able to improve it once the $theme->nodebox ideas get finalized.

CHANGES:

- 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.

There was an "echo $story->cid;" after the date in $theme->story, which caused date/times for stories to appear like:
on Tuesday, 05/15/2001 - 18:393
on Friday, 05/11/2001 - 07:033
...

On Windows machines (not sure about *nix boxes) it's not always pre-sorted by the filesystem. It has no effect code-wise, but it will cause all module-lists in Drupal to be sorted alphabetically (e.g. the links in admin.php).

- Fixed bug in book.module: parent-field was not saved.
  (reported by Remco)

  This change extends the functionality and makes it conform more with the
  other form_* functions.

- Tidied up the field_get() API and improved the implementation of
  both field_set() and field_get().

- Removed debug output.

- Fixed bug in account.module.

- Simplified field_set() API.

- Made UnConeD's cool common timestamp format conform with the
  general coding style.  Sorry to be so picky about this but I
  really can't help it. ;)

  the <FORM> tag.
- Added form_file($name) for file uploads. (requires form() to be called with
  $options='ENCRYPT="multipart/form-data"'.)

- Removed the "history"-field from the SQL table "users" and added
  this information to the "users"-field in both nodes and comments.
  This database/table change reduces the number of SQL queries and
  makes Drupal scale better where a lot of voting/moderation takes
  place.  Last but not least it can be considered a new and better
  foundation for future moderation metrics / algorithms.  In other
  words: it is plain better.

    --> oops, all voting/moderation results will be lost!
    --> requires database update, see "2.00-to-x.xx.sql"!

- Updated database/database.mysql

- Fixed warning in headline_admin_add().
  (reported by Remco)

- Fixed bug in path_uri()

- Drastically simplified the node_save() API, which should make the
  node-forms more secure.  Updated "node.module" and "queue.module"
  to work with the new API.

  The upgrade script, 2.00-to-x.xx.php, is still broken and needs
  fixing.

- Renamed ./themes/jeroen2/ in ./themes/yaroon/ (again).

- 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.

I updated the theme a bit, changed some variables and the drop down menu... I hope it works because frankly I haven't tested it... I mean, I tested it but not that toroughly. Hope with me :)

I'll write a short story about it.

Jeroen.

- Fixed bug in theme Yaroon: the image-path was set to ./themes/jeroen2/
  instead of ./themes/yaroon/.

This is a major rewrite of the Goofy-theme.... the major problem with it was that it required a *lot* of overhead for a simple box, due to the fancy borders. To counter this, I've added simple functions in JavaScript to output the actual boxes, while the PHP functions themselves output simple function calls to them.

The result is an incredible loss of size, especially on larger pages.... on a typical drupal page (header/footer, 1 story box, 1 comment mod box, 4 comments and 1 side box) the difference was 23K vs 15K, which I find quite good. You should also notice how big some pages were in the old version, which are still tiny in the new version.

There are a few problems though:
 - You can't use it in some parts of the admin section (preview a story), since admin.php leaves out the header(), so the html-generating functions are not included there.
 - Because drop can occasionally insert HTML directly, without going through themes, I have to wrap each box in its own <script> tag. The optimization would benefit even more if i could group all function calls in one <script> tag, but it's not possible at the moment.

I suggest you take a snapshot of an original goofy-page (drop.org) and compare it with the output of this one (cvs-version) to see how it works exactly. And finally, it works on both IE5 and NS4, so I assume it does on most browsers.
