* Extend block_manager to handle sidebar blocks. get_available has become get_available_admin_blocks, get_list becomes get_admin_list.
* Create new functions get_available_site_blocks which will look for gallery_block get_available_site_blocks.
* Refactor sidebar_blocks into a separate function and then call block_manager::get_html(site.sidebar). Convert image_block to use block management instead of theme::sidebar_blocks
* Change the block_manager api so that the theme is passed into the get method. convert info to the new sidebar block approach
* Convert the user module to use the new sidebar block structure. remove the installers for info and image_block modules.
* Convert tag and rss modules to the new sidebar framework. reset the version number to 1 for info and image_block modules.
* Change the get_html method to ignore empty blocks and change the individual handlers to return an empty string if no block is generated
* Add a warning message if no sidebar blocks are active and provide a link to the admin page that configures the sidebar.
install() function if all you're going to do is to set the version of
the module from module.info into the database. This means that for some
simple modules, you don't need an install.php file at all.
approach using html::specialchars and purify uses HTMLPurifier to intelligently
cleanse the output fields. Use purifier for text and title fields where it is
likely that a user would enter html to format their data.
Add xxx_installer::upgrade($version) method so that upgrade stanzas
are separate from install stanzas. In the old code, to do an upgrade
meant that you had to re-evolve everything from the initial install
because we'd step through each version's changes. But what we really
want is for the initial install to start off in the perfect initial
state, and the upgrades to do the work behind the scenes. So now the
install() function gets things set up properly the first time, and the
upgrade() function does any work to catch you up to the latest code.
See gallery_installer.php for a good example.
Install: <module>_installer::install() is called, any necessary tables
are created.
Activate: <module>_installer::activate() is called. Module
controllers are routable, helpers are accessible, etc. The module is
in use.
Deactivate: <module>_installer::deactivate() is called. Module code
is not accessible or routable. Module is *not* in use, but its tables
are still around.
Uninstall: <module>_installer::uninstall() is called. Module is
completely removed from the database.
Admin > Modules will install and activate modules, but will only
deactivate (will NOT uninstall modules).
- Add a "captured" column to the items table.
- Pull the DateTime EXIF field and put it into the captured column
- Pull the Caption EXIF & IPTC fields and put them into the description
field if there was not already a value there
File_Structure_Test to make sure we don't regress.
According to the PHP docs, the "public" keyword is implied on static
functions, so remove it. Also, require private static functions to
start with an _.

* Refactor blocks so that they have a separate id vs css_id. This way
we can have a unique identifier for each visual block.
* Store blocks with a random id as their unique identifier
* Add Admin_Dashboard::remove_block() and modify
themes/admin_default/views/block.html.php to call it when you click the
remove box.
- And refactor printf to our string interpolation / pluralization syntax
- Also, a slight change to the translations_incomings table, using binary(16) instead of char(32) as message key.
1) drop unnecessary semicolon
2) start with <?php for extra security in the case that the server itself doesn't
have short_tags enabled (the app won't work, but we need to make sure that we're
still secure)
1) Deleted in-place-editing. We'll be replacing this with a real edit
system that groups settings together and is more coherent.
2) Tweaked the way that dialog boxes work to get the ajax stuff working
again. It's imperfect and does not work properly for uploading images.
This is going to get redone also, but this is a good resting point.
3) Created edit forms for albums and photos. Moved _update and _create out
of Items_Controller and into the individual subclasses.
4) Created access::required which is a shorthand for:
if (!access::can(...)) {
access::forbidden();
}
5) Added validation rules to Items_Model
6) Converted login to use the regular modal dialog approach in the theme.
Each module now has a "module.info" file that has information about
the module, including the core. We can display the installed version,
and the version in the code.
Also take a first shot at a modules admin page.
file_proxy. It also means we can stop munging file names in the var/resizes hierarchy.
In the process, rename "thumbnail" to "thumb" everywhere in honor of
Chad (well, ok because it's shorter)..
Create the concept of "page types" which let us specify the kind of
page that we're rendering in high level terms. Currently there are
three page types: album, photo and tag.
The tag page type uses slightly different variables. It has a $tag
but no $item. Adjust all sidebar_block() functions to avoid printing
stuff that's dependent on the item if there is no item.
Simplify the tag code to stop trying to fake an item.
Update the theme slightly to use $item and $tag where appropriate
(notably, for making the <title> element).
$theme->block_type() so that the themer has a consistent interface.
Also added a bunch more callbacks and normalized the names so that the
module author has plenty of options for where stuff gets put on the
page. Especially renamed album/photo/sidebar to be album_blocks()
photo_blocks() and sidebar_blocks() to make it clear that those are
going to be larger content sections and not just basic insertion
points.
Used __call() to collapse all functions in the theme, which
incidentally makes it trivially easy to add a new insertion point.
