CMF 1.2 beta (2001/12/07) New features - Added docs from the crack ZC docs guys; these docs live in the top-level 'docs' directory. - Merged CMFDecor product's artifacts into CMFCore / CMFDefault; theses aretifacts allow use of filesystem-based Zope Page Templates as skins. Note that the CMFDecor skin is the one which will be receiving all our development focus: we will fix bugs in the DTML skins, but are not likely to invest significant effort in upgrading it. - Hooked 'manage_addFolder' to allow creation of PortalFolders from both WebDAV, FTP, and ZMI. - Improved tracebacks from broken FSDTMLMethods, which no longer indicate that every problem is in RestrictedDTML. - Made it possible to add CookieCrumblers in nested folders. You can just drop in a cookie crumbler anywhere to change the login form for that area of the site. In fact, now you don't have to create a user folder just to change the login process. - Made Link objects editable via FTP / WebDAV. - Merged Chris Withers' FSSQLMethod into CMFCore. - Added documentation for installing from CVS. - Moved permission checking inside personalize_form to make sure Anonymous cannot access it without logging in (CMF Tracker Issue 349, thanks go to Bill Anderson). - Added initial CMF use cases as FSSTXMethods in CMFDefault/help. - Made validation methods of 'portal_metadata' available to scripts. - Made skinned 'index_html' reflect generic view on folder content, rather than simple title/description of the portal. - Added "Change and View" submit button to content editing forms; added check for this button to POST handlers in CMFDefault, and indirected redirect targets in those methods through 'getActionByID'. - Added knob for skin cookie persistence to SkinsTool's "properties" tab. The default policy (unchanged) is that skin cookies expire at the end of the browser session. if Skin Cookie Persistence is checked the cookie will last a full yesr. - Added an API to the 'portal_actions' interface for querying, adding, and removing action providers. - Added a "multi-review" form, enabling a reviewer to publish or reject multiple items at once, using a common comment. - Added ZMI tab to DirectoryView to allow re-basing the filesystem path. - Added "breadcrumbs" to CMFDecor skins. - Added initial support for WebDAV locaking to PortalContent. - Added SortCriterion to list of criterion types for Topics, to permit sorting of results. - Added "Local Roles" action to folders to ease collaboration. - Add scarecrow assertions for the CMF-centric interfaces, and made the actual interfaces compatible with the standard Zope Interface package. - Made FSSTXMethod display skinnable, and added ZPT version. - Added 'visible' attribute to TypeInformation actions, to permit indirection (via 'getActionById') without exposing the action in the CMF UI. - Extended MetadataTool to allow adding / removing element specs (i.e., it can now manage policies for "custom" schemas, as well as Dublin Core). Bug fixes - Refactored content and metadata editing methods of DefaultDublinCoreImpl, Document, and NewsItem to disentangle the excessive coupling. Each "path" for editing now has a "presentation"-level method, which directs traffic and reindexes the object; the underlying methods are much simplified. - Fixed inner / named links in Document / News Item (thanks to Kenichi Sato for the patch!) - Ensured that editing methods handle WebDAV locks correctly, using a new 'failIfLocked' assertion. - Added cookString method to CMFCore.utils for taking a string and making it id friendly, it also does a string.lower on the resultant regex. Changed TypesTool to utilize cookString to ensure that action ids are properly formated if the name is being used as the id. - Added 'getReply' to CMFDefault.DiscussionItem.DiscussionItemContainer, to permit access to an individual reply without needing to do traversal. - Corrected pass-through of 'file' and 'seatbelt' arguments in new 'CMFDefault.Document.edit' method; also sync'ed ZMI edit method for documents with standard protocol (Tracker #417). - Added cookString method to CMFCore.utils for taking a string and making it id friendly, it also does a string.lower on the resultant regex. - Made examples in INSTALL.txt less terse, and added notes on Windows-specific issues (thanks to Johan Mukhsein for the suggestions). - Made error message generated by FSPropertiesObject capture the offending line and line #; also, added logic to allow blank lines and comment lines beginning with '#' (tracker #338). - Added fixup to Link objects for user-entered URLs which don't supply scheme: for example, fix up 'www.zope.com' to 'http://www.zope.com'. (tracker #361) - Updated CMFCore.CatalogTool to allow new, optional 'idxs' argument to 'catalog_object' (tracker #405). - Added a workaround for the problem where the CookieCrumber set cookies even though the user entered an incorrect password. RESPONSE.unauthorized() now cancels the cookie response header. The new login_form and logged_in form both try to invoke unauthorized(), so make sure you install the new forms. - Implement the notional 'search results item' interface for SkinnedFolder. - Corrected solecism in Topic (use of 'criteria' for singular); removed the need to know about the funky generated IDs for criterion objects. Fixed derived bug in skins (tracker #408). - Modified error-logging code to avoid potential leaks of traceback frame. - Made Document's 'manage_FTPget' use 'EditableBody', rather than accessing 'text' attribute directly (improves reusability). Likewise 'Document.SearchableText'. - Merged Seb Bacon's refactoring of 'getDefaultView' into 'CMFCore.utils._getView'; clients can now specify a view by name, as well. - Made the default content type for Image 'image/png', instead of the unintuitive 'text/html' inherited from DefaultDublinCoreImpl (tracker #384). - Corrected typo in ActionsTool which broke actions for the root portal object (tracker #379). - Updated the MemberDataTool to use an OOBTree, instead of the old-style BTree, to store member data wrappers (CMF Tracker 375). - Corrected 'personalize_form' to use 'getProperty' where feasible, rather than relying on direct attribute access (tracker #372). - Removed an incompatibility with LoginManager in CMFCore.MembershipTool (tracker #365). - Removed an infinite loop condition that arises when MembershipTool.createMemberArea gets called inside wrapUser (this could only happen if "Create Member Area" was checked in the Membership tool.) - Added new 'TitleOrId' skin method, and updated skins to depend on it rather than SimpleItem.title_or_id. - Made unit tests runnable without reliance on 'zctl test'. - Corrected initial column set in catalog to include "ModificationDate" instead of "ModifiedDate". - Ensured that object is recatalogued (e.g., after setting 'portal_type'; thanks to Florent Guillaume). - Removed silly dependency of 'CatalogTool.searchResults' on REQUEST (catalog already does the Right Thing (tm) when no REQUEST is available). Note that this requires updates to the 'search' skins, as they didn't pass it in. - Changed redirect target after rejecting an item to the search page for pending content items; this resolves the problem that the non-Manager reviewr who rejects an item no longer has View permission on it, and therefore gets an Unauthorized when redirecting to the object's view action. - Moved generation of the "Add to Favorites" and "My Favorites" links from the CMFCore/ActionsTool into the CMFDefault/MembershipTool, which is a more logical location for it because it relies on information from the membership tool. - Made Topic directly publishable (like PortalContent), using its 'view' action (or the first action found, if view is not present). - Set title for newly-created member folders; fixes breadcrumbs that expect a title on the object. - Allow URLs with query strings in StructuredText links. - Update 'news_box' to search based on 'Type', rather than 'meta_type'. - Fix 'SkinnedFolder.Creator()' to call 'getOwner()' with info argument. - Made CookieCrumbler check for 'WEBDAV_SOURCE_PORT' environment variable (supplied by Zope 2.4.1+), and bail on intercepting authentication if found. - Included 'Owner' in list of significant roles returned by 'MembershipTool.getPortalRoles' (e.g., so that the "Local Roles" interface can allow assignment of it). - Allow users with local role of "Reviewer" to see the "pending review" action. - Made TypesTool, rather than individual type objects, responsible for generating "immediate view" URL; type objects now return the newly-created object, which makes scripting them much simpler. - Remove fossilized reference to 'getSecurityManager' from 'PortalContent._verifyActionPermissions'. - Modified the redirect after "Add to Favorites" to us the view action, rather than 'view'. - Fixed 'Document.guessFormat()' to use 'utils.html_headcheck()' instead of 'bodyfinder' regex to detect structured text versus html; avoids recursion limit for large HTML files. - Removed spurious 'afterCreate' protocol for content objects. - Added mapping of 'css' file extension to FSDTMLMethods. - Modifed PortalFolder.listFolderContents to handle permission-based filtering; duplicates what skip_unauthorized is doing in DocumentTemplate/DT_IN.py (but works for ZPT as well). - Modified CMFDefault.RegistrationTool.addMember to avoid flunking validation if properties are not passed (Tracker #335). - Applied patch from Chris Withers to 'register' skin method; the patch which avoids quoting problems for the error message if a problem occurs (Tracker #339). - Added 'DiscussionItem.replyCount' (Tracker #328). 'DiscussionItem.hasReplies' now returns only a boolean value. Standard skins don't call 'replyCount' due to performance concerns. - Factored content filtering logic into a Python Script. - Improved handling of multiple rename targets (thanks to Chris Withers for the patch.) - Completed conversion of form targets from DTML Methods to Python Scripts. - Improved compatibility with Zope 2.4: o support for new "restricted execution" mode; o support for new catalog initialization API. o updated 'test_all' unit test drivers to use standard 'unittest' module from Python 2.1 (it no longer has 'JUnitTestTextRunner' class). CMF 1.1 final (2001/06/20) New features - Landed "skinned folder" module, which permits creation of "folderish" types with customized replacements for 'index_html'. - Added 'run_all_tests' script, to simplify running all unit tests for CMF-related products. - Factored out index and column lists, to ease customization (Tracker #289) - Modified DefaultDublinCoreImpl#setContributors() to use new tuplize functionality (the ability to pass in a different splitter function). If a string is passed in to setContributors(), it gets split on semicolons. This allows setting of contributor strings to be like "Doe, John E (john@doe.a.deer); The Mertz Family Foundation; PBS" If one so deeply and dearly desired. (The above would turn into a three element tuple). - Made it possible to map "normal" Zope objects as content (Tracker #283): o Skin and tool code which used to query the object for its Type in order to then ask the types tool for a TypeInfo object now just asks the types tool for type TypeInfo object directly. o Modified the TypesTool interface to signal that passing an object to 'getTypeInfo' is acceptable, with the semantic that the tool will attempt to find a TypeInfo object based on the tool's type or metatype. - Expanded signature of Document.CookedBody to change the header levels Structured Text starts rendering at, and whether to preserve those changes, following the following logic: If the format is html, and 'stx_level' is not passed in or is the same as the object's current settings, return the cached cooked text. Otherwise, recook. If we recook and 'setlevel' is true, then set the recooked text and stx_level on the object. Bug fixes - Hardened DirectoryView against objects which raise exceptions during initial reads (typically due to permission problems); these objects now capture and log the exception, and create a BadFile object which allows browsing the traceback via the ZMI (Tracker #317). - Stopped polluting the browser with persistent skin cookie; clear it as well on logout (Tracker #304). - Cleaned up folder content filtering (Tracker #298, thanks to Chris Withers for the patch). - Implement new "List folder contents" permission (Tracker #320), to prevent non-privileged users from being able to browse 'folder_contents' (permission is by default mapped to 'Owner' and 'Manager'). Note that this is really only a UI change: 'PortalFolder.contentIds', 'PortalFolder.contentValues', and 'PortalFolder.contentItems' are still public, to allow for reasonable "site map" views on folders. - Use saner type ID listing in 'search_form' (Tracker #324). - Rewired "POST target" skin methods, replacing filesystem-based DTML Methods with filesystem-based Python Scripts (from Tracker #301 -- thanks to Chris Withers). - Implemented *LARGE* patch to CMFDefault.DiscussionItem and CMFDefault.DiscussionTool, plus removal of CMFDefault.Discussions: changed threading strategy to remove dependency on the path of the "host" content object. Includes an ExternalMethod, CMFDefault/Extensions/update_discussion.py, which must be run to convert existing content which contains discussion. - Overrode DublinCore's isEffective in CMFCalendar.Event to always return true; this change prevents blocking view of the event by standard_html_header. - Updated INSTALL.txt to note that: o Use with Zope 2.4.0a1 is *not* recommended. o CMFDecor requires Zope Page Templates (Tracker #291). and to describe upgrade process from CMF 1.0. - Fixed typo in 'Unauthorized' exception raised by 'PortalContent._getDefaultView'. - Made all content types findable by catalog (Tracker #286). - Ensured that ContentTypeRegistry's "Test" tab doesn't puke if no MIMEtype is entered, or if one is entered which doesn't have a '/' in it (Tracker #292). - Suppressed overwrite of Subject when no 'Subject' or 'Keywords' headers were present (Tracker #294). - Ensured that 'Type' is indexed in newly-created 'portal_catalog'. - Fixed acquisition stripping in PortalContent.objectItems(). - Modified CMFDefault.DublinCore.getMetadataHeaders() to join Subject by commas, instead of spaces. Since we parse/split Subject on commas or semicolons now when a document is saved by FTP or WebDAV, we need to feed it out in the same format. - Fleshed out security declarations for 'portal_metadata' tool. - Corrected pathname of 'MemberDataTool.memberdataContents' to account for use of '_dtmldir' (thanks to Ricardo Newbery for the patch!). - Fixed buglet resulting from uninitialized local in 'PortalContent.objectItems' (thanks to Seb Bacon for the patch). - Modified stock 'search_form' to query 'Type' rather than 'meta_type'. - Removed debugging / "paranoia" print statements (thanks to Chris Withers for the patches). CMF 1.1 beta (2001/06/01) New features - Added CMFCore.utils.keywordsplitter to construct 'Subject' dublin core header from both 'Keywords' and 'Subject' headers passed in (meta tags/rfc822). - CMF Document now uses StructuredTextNG for structured text handling. Nicely enough, it uses the "with images" features, and also enables named and inner links. - CMF Document exposes two new accessor methods for getting at the "cooked" and editable body, 'CookedBody()', and 'EditableBody()'. Using the 'cooked_text' and 'text' instance attributes should be considered deprecated. - Added new "exemplar" content product, CMFCalendar, which (for now) adds a simple content object, Event. This product serves a similar didactic purpose as CMFTopic (which is now "in the core"): it shows how to build new content types as filesystem products. - Implemented improved "safety belt" for concurrent Document editing. See the dogbowl proposal, http://cmf.zope.org/rqmts/proposals/ContentSafetyBelt - Added new filesystem-based skin method type, FSSTXMethod, for creating "methods" which render STX. - Exposed "controlled vocabulary" for Subject in 'metadata_edit_form'. - Gave 'portal_skins' tool its own PUT_factory (Tracker #238). Allows site builder to create skin methods via WebDAV/FTP, including ZPT, PythonScripts, etc. - Implemented "outbound" segment of the "Syndication tool" proposal, q.v., http://cmf.zope.org/CMF/Members/andrew/folderRSS - Made 'PUT_factory' use new 'content_type_registry' tool. - Made 'PUT_factory' use 'invokeFactory', so that objects created via PUT have their 'portal_type' set properly. - Added ContentTypeRegistry class and related predicates for mapping PUT requests (name,content_type,body) to type object names. - Allowed Reviewers to "retract" published content owned by others. - Added "Overview" ZMI view to tools. - Added "Dublin Core" ZMI view to PortalContent; added an editing view for Document and derivatives. - Added "drop-in" workflow objects to the WorkflowTool, including the ability to map workflows onto content types. - Changed CMFDefault.Portal to install CMF Topic by default when building a new CMF Site. - Added a new criteria type, *FriendlyDateCriterion*, to CMFTopic for building queries like 'When effective_date is less than five days old'. - Implemented 'portal_metadata' tool. See the dogbowl proposal, http://cmf.zope.org/rqmts/proposals/completed/metadata_tool. - Extended DirectoryView objects to reload when the directory they represent has changed, if Zope is running in debug mode. - Added hooks to CookieCrumbler to permit site managers to customize seting/expiring of the authentication cookie by adding PythonScripts; two default filesystem implementations are in CMFDefault's "control" skin. - Extended TypesTool to deal appropriately with DTML factory methods (e.g., for ZClasses). - Made FSDTMLMethods searchable from the ZMI (Issue PTK(251)[]). Bug Fixes - Added 'manage_beforeDelete' to DiscussionItemContainer class, and propagated to it from content deletion (Tracker #269). - Only display the "join" action if the user has the "Add portal member" permission. - Check for appropriate REQUEST variables before invoking CopySupport machinery, return a nice 'portal_status_message' instead of allowing the traceback to kick in (Tracker #247). - Initialize default DublinCore metadata for the site, so that *some* value is available everywhere (Tracker #285). - Add module-level globals aliases, to permit other products to use elements of skins (Tracker #273). - Replaced 'metadata_edit' DTMLMethod with PythonScript. - Updated 'metadata_edit' to avoid clearing values not passed in REQUEST (Tracker #268). - Removed spurious whitespace being added to Subject. - Fixed FSPythonScript to open file in text mode, so that Windows verstions with CR don't cause the parser to choke (Tracker #284). - Simplified login-disabling logic in CookieCrumbler. - Added '' tag to headers of Document, NewsItem, and DiscussionItem so that relative links work properly. - Fixed the ActionsTool to suppress adding a trailing '/' to "empty" action URL's. - Fixed Document's content type sniffing to deal with odd case in which "entire" HTML document was embedded as an STX example. - Replaced literal string permissins with "named permissions", imported from modules in most places. (Please report any which escaped!) - Moved 'factory_type_information' registry entries back out to the relevant modules (instead of lumping them in CMFDefault.Portal). - Simplified NewsItem to "Document with a twist" (NewsItems now inherit lots of useful behavior from Document. - Aliased DublinCore's Format() as 'content_type', so that Zope's WebDAV support will do the Right Thing (TM) when handling a PROPFIND. - Suppressed "eager redirect" behavior in CookieCrumbler for FTP or WebDAV (note that WebDAV fix only works for "extra" HTTP methods; GET/PUT/POST still redirect). - Made sure to update the catalog when a content object's parent is deleted / moved (Tracker #261). - Fixed lossage to File objects when no upload supplied (Tracker #271). - Fixed "Add to Favorites" when applied to Folders. - Suppressed "Members" link in topbar (pointed to 'roster' method) for users who would not be able to see it. - Fixed irritating bugs in setting of skin-selection cookie. - Removed ugly '_mimetype_registry' hack for 'PUT_factory'. - Fixed a bug in CMFDefault.Document with PUT that only affected FTP: when a StructuredText document that contained a full HTML example (complete with , , and tags) in its body, it would pass the "does it smell like HTML" test and throw everything away that wasn't inside the first matching pair of tags it found. Funnily enough, this bug was exposed when trying to save an article about how to use FTP with Zope and the CMF that contained such an example. - Fixed glitch caused by '' in CMFDefault/skins/control/reconfig.dtml. Thanks to Hans de Wit for reporting this! - Allowed 'portal_type' to be a method, as well as an attribute (eases ZClass-as-content). - Fixed search form to pass 'created' instead of 'date' (probably need 'modified', too); also, added selection list for 'Subject', and fixed the "Last Month" option value. - Fixed non-import in CMFCore/WorkflowCore.py (Tracker #239, thanks to 'snej' for the patch). - Updated CatalogTool to handle searchable vs. displayable DublinCore dates properly. - Replaced usage of .id with .getId() all through the CMF, to conform with the new SimpleItem API. Thanks to Jens Quade for pointing this out. (Issue PTK(241)[]). - Extended 'index_html' to render portal description using STX (Tracker #246). - Updated CMFDefault skins to use Contentish.getIcon, including the portal catalog. This greatly simplifies using ZClasses as content. In CMFDefault/scripts you will find 'convertCatalogGetIconColumn.pys), a Python Script that will convert your existing Catalog to use 'getIcon' instead of 'icon' (Issue PTK(244)[]). Also, synched interface definition to show the 'relative_to_portal' argument. - Extended 'folder_factories' to filter type objects using 'isConstructionAllowed' in 'PortalFolder.allowedContentTypes' (Tracker #249). - Fixed display of replies on discussion items. - Made appropriate use of 'portal_url', instead of BASEPATH ad hockery, in skin methods (Tracker #259). - Synched interface definition of 'Contentish.getIcon' with reality (documented 'relative' parameter). - Fixed "Ever" entry in 'search_form' to use a value safe in timezones east of GMT (Tracker #236). - Deprecated the CMFDefault.File.download method; it is still available, but is no longer called by the current CMF skin, nor is index_html aliased to it. The method was necessary when the "View' method was the default action when calling the URL of the File object, this is no longer the case. The setting of the Content-Disposition header is not needed when using the absolute URL of the object, and causes certain browsers to misbehave. CMF 1.0 final (2001/03/29) - Removed embedded spaces in 'portal_status_message' strings (thanks to Dieter Maurer for pointing this out) - Added 'index_html' (copy/paste from CMFCore.PortalContent?!?) so that topics become directly publishable (thanks to Dieter Maurer for pointing this out). - Removed references to 'Images/' in skin DTML, adding an extra item to the default skins' lookup path. In CMFDefault/scripts you will find 'addImagesToSkinPaths.pys', a Python Script that adds the extra name to all your skin paths. (Tracker issue #205). - Added FSPythonScripts, allowing filesystem-based skins to expose customizable PythonScripts. - Fixed CMF Tracker item (207), "HTML test when editing a Portal Document is ambiguous". Now, the same regular expression used to scoop out the contents of the tags, which is case insensitive, is also used to detect whether the document may be HTML. - Converted physical path to string (Tracker #224). - Fixed 'Creator' metadata for DiscussionItems (tracker issue #206, thanks to Jeff Sasmor for the patch!). - Added simple search field for 'Subject' (Tracker #213). - Fixed CMF Tracker issue 211, "Topics have Folder icon" by finally moving the Topic icon into the skins, and writing a custom icon() method that uses getIcon (Subclassing from PortalFolder made this behavior strange). - Changed CMFDefault.Document__init__ to call self.edit at the end, instead of self._parse, which means that HTML can finally be passed into the constructor. Unit tests verify that initializing with just the 'id' gives the proper results. - Added installation script (external method) for CMFTopic. - Ensured that content metatypes show up in the types list of the portal_catalog tool (Tracker issue #209, thanks to Jeff Sasmor). - Fixed unwanted multiple font reductions on 'recent_news' (Tracker issue #215). - Changed visited link color to enhance readability. - Fixed PNG transparency of logo (for NS 4.7). - Allowed Contributors to publish content directly (Tracker issue #216). - Gave more real estate to skin path fields (Tracker issue #226). - Added simple listing of subtopics to the default view (Tracker issue #214). - Regularized DiscussionItem.absolute_url (further work on Tracker issues #203 & #206). - Made 'addToFavorites' work as skinned method of target, and work for DiscussionItems (Tracker issue #227). - Moved actual mail sending into CMFDefault.RegistrationTool, to avoid having to give proxy roles to the skin methods involved (Tracker issue #160). - Add member count to roster display. - Made 'review_state' workflow info publically visible. - Made DiscussionItem.getReplies() and DiscussionItemContainter.getReplies() show only 'published' replies (allows retraction, for now). - Fixed WorkflowAction.__call__ to use the correct method name for exception notification (Tracker issue #232). - Ensure that reply's Creator propagates through preview (thanks to Jeff Sasmor for reporting that our fix to Tracker issue #206 missed the "Preview" case). - Removed crufty calls to registerPortalContent. - Trimmed over-long item IDs in actions box (Tracker issue # 234; thanks to Jeff Sasmor and Steve Alexandar for the patch). CMF 1.0 beta (2001/03/05) * Migrated from old PTK repository on cvs.zope.org. * Changed package and module names: 'PTKBase' has become (mostly) 'CMFCore'; 'PTKDemo', 'CMFDefault'. * Added package 'CMFTopic', which provides a new content type, 'Topic'; topics are "logical" folders, which aggregate content based on catalog searches against metadata. * Revised discussion mechanism to store discussion with its underlying content (rather than in members' "Correspondence" folders). * Mad the membership system agnostic to the kind of user folder, including whether it is found in the portal or not. * "Skinned" the portal UI and all the content objects, enabling portal managers to replace it "piecemeal", safely. * Implemented local type registration, allowing portal managers to configure and extend the types addable in the portal. * Add 'PortalFolder.allowedContentTypes' and supporting machinery in type info objects, to permit configuration of the content types addable to a given folder type. 0.10alpha (2001/02/02) * Fixed breakage of "reply" feature introduced by new constructor regime (PTK Tracker #159). * Make creation of an 'acl_users' in the portal itself optional. * Add mapping of external roles (i.e., belonging to a user retrieved from an acquired user folder) onto "portal-specific" roles. For example, users from the root user folder may have the "Employee" role; the 'portal_membership' tool can map this role onto the "Member" role needed by the portal. * Corrected HTML quoting of Document text (PTK Tracker #154). * If content_url is not None and the user has their own member folder (as returned by 'portal_membership.getHomeUrl') then two new actions will show up in the user-related action box: - "Add to Favorites", adds an item to the user's "Favorites" folder, which will get created underneath the user's home folder if not present. - "My Favorites", linked to the Favorites folder (if the member has one). * Add 'Favorites' content type (derived from 'Link', optimized for objects within the same site). * Add 'PTKBase.interfaces.Contentish', an interface describing non-metadata methods for all content objects. * Added cool new portal icon -- thanks to Michael Bernstein! * Add 'simple_metadata' and 'metadata_help' methods, for easing "constructorish" capture of metadata. Also demos "skinning" object-specific DTML. * Rearranged base classes to deal with the fact that SimpleItem now has a _setId() method. * Added a "quick start" script for creating a new INSTANCE_HOME sandbox (e.g., to allow easy experimentation with new-style portal). * Remove "metadata" editing from most "normal" edit forms. * Tweak stylesheets to make Netscrape 4.x more happy (links on secondary accent areas wouldn't show). * Enforced standard construction interface (only 'id' is required) on all "stock" content types. * Added default factory registration in 'portal_types' for all "stock" content types. * Add 'portal_types' tool, allowing registry of type / constructor information about portal content which may be created in a given portal instance (replaces 'Wizards' folder as type registry). * Added the description property to those attributes shown on the "view" screen for a file object (PTK Tracker #153). * Added credentialsChanged hook which can now work with CookieCrumblers. * Added Shane Hathaway's CookieCrumbler product, which spoofs HTTP Basic Auth for "don't know from cookies" user folders. * Add object for mapping property lists as filesystem object (to support parameterized stylesheet). These objects are customized as normal Folders, which allows a great deal of flexibility. * Corrected 'PTKDemo.File.edit' to avoid replacing file contents with empty string when no file is uploaded (PTK Tracker #152). * Remove distribution-tab verisons of TTW products. * Remove derived UML model files (UML-HTML). * Added the PortalGenerator class, which is a subclassable portal instance creator, and created a new addable meta type. * Removed ZClass dependency from PropertiesTool. * Corrected glitch that 'PTKDemo.PortalObject.manage_options' was inherited from ObjectManager rather than PortalFolder. * Add 'PUT_factory' to PTKBase.PortalFolder (make it replaceable, too!) * Register PTKDemo content class metatypes with PTKBase.PortalFolder's MIME-type registry. * Unscrew PTKDemo.Document's dependence on vanished NullPortalResource. * Clean up CSS in DemoPortal (PTK Tracker #124). * Remove dependency on PythonMethod in DemoPortal (PTK Tracker #151). * Integrated user preference for "skin" with 'portal_skins' options. * Added capability to filter * 'PortalFolder.content{Ids,ValuesItems}' based on metadata queries. * Migrated skins from 'DemoPortal/Interfaces' folders into filesystem skins directories. * Improved integration of FSDTMLMethod and FSImage with output from the FSDump product. * New tab for the member data tool: 'contents' displays the number of members stored in the member data tool and also the number of "orphaned" members, meaning those that do not appear in the underlying acl_users anymore. a button is provided to "prune" those orphaned members. * Added methods to examine the contents of the meber data tool and to prune all those members who have been deleted out of the underlying 'acl_users'. * Fixed bug when adding the mailhost during Portal initialization. * Added the portal_memberdata tool, which can wrap any user object with member properties. Yeehaw! the portal no longer needs a special user folder! * Add 'portal_skins' tool, enabling safe TTW customization of the default portal UI, which will be delivered as filesystem-based skin folders. Huge kudos to Shane Hathaway, who figured out a sane way to do this! * Extend fix for PTK Tracker #149 to 'generic' and 'sweng' interfaces. * Append '/view' to search results in order to allow navigation to objects which don't use standard header/footer in their 'index_html', e.g., Images. (PTK Tracker Issue #149) * Add meta_type to DiscussionItem (PTK Tracker Issue #150). * Integrate Dan Pierson's patch to show discussion threads inline (PTK Tracker issue #93). * Fix PTK Tracker #145 (PTKDemo/Portal.py or MailHost broken): the 2000/12/08 hotfix removed the "legacy" name, 'manage_addMailHost'. * Fix PTK Tracker #148 ('Table rows need vertical align') * Fix PTK Tracker #147 ("PTKDemo's Metadata HTML is ugly"). * Fix PTK Tracker issue #136 ('CSS selection broken'). * Fix Tracker issue #141 ('Wizard product has broken subobjects list'). * Remove redundant 'description' arg from constructors (PTK Tracker issue #142; thanks to jon@totient.demon.co.uk for reporting this). * Enable FTP upload/creation of NewsItems * Add the ability to query and set DublinCore metadata via FTP: - Updated PTKDemo.DemoDublinCore.DemoDublinCore to add a method, 'getMetadataHeaders()', which builds a list of DublinCore headers, suitable for inclusion in tags or in "Structured Text Headers". - Updated PTKDemo.Document.Document to export/import the metadata when accessed via FTP. * Fix PortalFolder.all_meta_types() to allow non-content. * Fix PortalFolder.listActions() to return a tuple, not a list
