OpenInteract-1.41
River stage zero No dependents

Changes for version 1.41 - 2002-08-13

  • Individual:
    • Makefile.PL:
      • Changed 'Email::Valid' prereq to 'Mail::RFC822::Address', since the latter is available on Win32.
    • OpenInteract.pm:
      • Add call to OpenInteract::Auth->custom_handler() after the other authentication methods have been run.
    • OpenInteract/Auth.pm:
      • Move the custom method as declared in the server configuration to stand on its own rather than after the user logs in successfully. We also renamed a few configuration keys in the 'login' group.
    • OpenInteract/CommonHandler.pm:
      • Fixed bug in wizard_search() that was not getting the search results back properly due to a malformed argument capture. (Thanks to Bill Heckel (bill@billheckel.com) for spotting it.)
      • Fixed bug in _search_build_where_clause() so that we properly handle searches with multiple values for a single criterion. (Thanks to Ewald Hinrichs (ewald.hinrichs@applied.de) for the bug report.)
    • OpenInteract/DBI.pm:
      • Added documentation for connection parameter 'db_name'. Thanks to Drew Taylor (drew@drewtaylor.com) for the prod.
    • OpenInteract/Package.pm:
      • In 'package.conf' file, allow 'Module::Foo||Module::Bar||...' syntax to specify alternative modules that can be used for the same purpose. For instance, Win32 does not have an install of Email::Valid, so we use 'Email::Valid||Mail::RFC822::Address' and allow the code that uses this module to use either of them.
    • OpenInteract/Startup.pm:
      • Refactor some of the initialization code. Specifically, remove some functionality regarding the classes tracked to be required en masse and put it in separate methods. Also move this tracking until AFTER the global overrides have been processed.
    • OpenInteract/Template/Plugin.pm:
      • New parameter for date_format(): a true value for 'fill_nbsp' will fill all whitespace in the formatted string with ' '
    • OpenInteract/Template/Provider.pm:
      • Allow for package templates to be stored in sitewide template area. These templates should be used for customization since the package may get upgraded and the templates overwritten. This means instead of modifying the template:
        • $WEBSITE_DIR/pkg/mypkg/template/foo.tmpl
      • You probably want to modify:
        • $WEBSITE_DIR/template/mypkg/foo.tmpl
      • Since the former will be overwritten with an upgrade to 'mypkg'.
      • Allow templates with the name spec '::foo_template' to be pulled properly from the sitewide template directory
    • conf/sample-server.ini, conf/sample-server.perl:
      • Rename configuration keys:
        • 'login.custom_login_handler' => 'login.custom_handler' 'login_custom_login_method' => 'login.custom_method'
      • Add configuration key:
        • 'login.custom_fail_method'
  • Packages updated:
    • OpenInteract 1.40 -> 1.41
    • base: 1.67 -= 1.67 base_box: 0.45 -= 0.45 base_component: 1.30 -= 1.30 base_error: 1.42 -= 1.42 base_group: 1.36 -= 1.36 base_page: 0.98 -= 0.98 base_security: 1.57 -= 1.57 base_template: 1.31 -= 1.31 base_theme: 1.33 -= 1.34 base_user: 1.55 -= 1.57 lookup: 0.20 -= 0.20 object_activity: 0.18 -= 0.19 results_manage: 0.08 -= 0.08 system_doc: 1.29 -= 1.29 classified: 1.35 -= 1.35 full_text: 1.31 -= 1.31 news: 1.39 -= 1.39
