Faq-O-Matic Faq-O-Matic : Administrators' Guide : Upgrade : Version History :
Changes in 2.620 from 2.619 |
John Goerzen pointed out a bug in Auth.pm that kept system-wide
permissions (those set for file=1) from actually applying; the
system was always using the built-in defaults.
|
The code that generates HTML tables has been factored into itemRender()
routines in the Appearance module. Now compact edits are a separate render
routine, as is "simple" HTML (table-less, designed to look okay in lynx).
The goal is to implement text output using another render routine.
|
Compact vs. normal editing command layout is now a per-user option, set on
the [Appearance] page, rather than an administrator-controlled option.
|
The search and recent pages now use Appearance::itemRender(), which is
consistent with the rest of the code.
|
There is now a slightly more systematic mechanism for identifying default
URL-embedded parameters. This will eventually allow sites to have different
appearance defaults while still allowing visitors to modify the appearance
of the pages they see.

Jason Sheu (jasonATqedincDOTcom) figured out that CGI-2.49
had a habit of dropping one of the input tags if the form
specified ENCTYPE=multipart/form-data, which I was doing automatically
in all POSTed forms. ENCTYPE is now used only for the two pages
that need it (upload text, upload bag), to reduce the appearance
of this problem until the CGI.pm bug is sorted out. He mentions
that the problem occurs with Unix Netscape 4.5; I haven't been
able to reproduce it with either Unix Netscape 3.x or 4.08.
|
At Mark D. Nagel's (nagelATintelenetDOTnet) suggestion, $cookieLife
is now an admin-configurable option. He writes: "We use FOM for
documentation of local procedures and stuff, and there is less danger
of someone malicious grabbing a cookie."
|
Mike (mikeATweb-downunderDOTcom) called my attention to a bug
wherein some mailto: links appear as http: references (due to my
omitting the mailto: protocol prefix). This apparently crept in with
the addition of $antiSpam mode.
