River stage zero No dependents

Changes for version 1.59 - 2003-08-14

  • Overall:
    • You can now require all users to login before seeing any part of your site.
    • Actual HTTP redirects are available if you'd like to use them.
    • Several smaller fixes and enhancements.
  • Individual:
    • Makefile.PL:
      • Add 'Cache::Cache' to dependency list, thanks to Teemu <teemu@ionstream.fi>.
    • conf/sample-server.(ini|perl)
      • Add configuration keys to 'login' and 'display_info'. See 'UPGRADE' for listing and sample server configuration file for details.
    • doc/configuration.html:
      • Fix incorrect has_a/links_to configuration references thanks to pointers from Teemu.
    • OpenInteract.pm:
      • Don't always warn about finding db handles, thanks to Andrew Hurst <hurst9@llnl.gov> for pointer and patch.
      • Call ->child_terminate where appropriate (thanks to Chris McDaniel for report that sparked the fix)
      • Be able to set a server configuration variable to force all users of a site to login. (See configuration entries under 'login'.) If set users who aren't logged in will always get sent (internally) to a URL of your choosing. Thanks much to Andrew Hurst for the idea and implementation thoughts.
      • If '$R->{page}{http_redirect}' set to a URL then issue an HTTP redirect. (Thanks to Teemu)
    • OpenInteract/UI/Main.pm:
      • Don't do any processing if '$R->{page}{http_redirect}' set.
    • OpenInteract/Template/Plugin.pm:
      • Add 'theme_fetch()', thanks to Andrew Hurst for the idea and discussion on scope and parameter naming.
    • OpenInteract/UI/Main.pm:
      • Also pass along 'path' to the main template.
  • Packages updated:
    • OpenInteract 1.58 -> 1.59
