Changes for version 1.56 - 2003-02-17

  • Overall:
    • Updated all relevant packages to use the '%%DATETIME%%' key in database schemas since different databases use different types ('datetime', 'timestamp', 'date', 'whenever', etc.)
    • A number of small bugfixes and enhancements. Included in this is an update of package documentation for most packages shipped with the distribution. (Fixes SF Bug #597982)
  • Individual:
    • conf/sample-override_spops.ini
      • Add 'news_section' as object to be optionally modified for its database type.
    • OpenInteract/Config/Ini.pm:
      • Fixed a few bugs in the INI read/write along with a small documentation note. Thanks much to Isidro Vila Verde <jvv@fe.up.pt> for pointing out the errors and sending along fixes.
    • OpenInteract/Package.pm:
      • Update copy_modules() to return an arrayref of the full destination paths of the modules rather than the module files themselves.
    • OpenInteract/PackageRepository.pm:
      • Add routines to backup and restore from backup.
    • OpenInteract/Session.pm:
      • Set session key 'timestamp' on create
    • OpenInteract/SQLInstall.pm:
      • Add support for '%%DATETIME%%' keyword in schemas to install.
    • OpenInteract/Startup.pm:
      • Do a chmod 0777 on all the files and directories in the templib directory. Fixes SF Bug #657857.
    • OpenInteract/Template/Plugin.pm:
      • Add 'page_title( $title )' method to change the page title from a template.
      • Be sure that boxes added via 'box_add' copy the box parameters (title, weight, etc.) to the right place
    • script/oi_manage:
      • Call repository backup/restore backup when appropriate. This should help with accidental corruption of the repository.
  • Packages updated:
    • OpenInteract 1.55 -> 1.56
