Slashcode 1.0.0 Released!
Well, it's here, version 1.0 of Slash! We've come a long way, and still have much further to go. I want thank everyone (especially my partner-in-crime, pudge !) for all their help - downloading it the past two months and using it, finding bugs, sending enhancements, letting us know your ideas. It's been great working with all of you, and We look forward to working with all of you in the future.
So go, and download the code from the usual places, ftp.slashdot.org or Server 51.
Here's a list of the changes:
slash-1.0.0, 2000.03.30
- Changed "unlink or die"'s in slashd to "unlink or warn"'s, so if a file is not there or cannot be deleted, it won't be fatal
- Upgrade to File::Spec 0.8 (added to Bundle::Slash)
- Added timestamp to submissions list, and corresponding slashdotrc.pl variable (submiss_ts) to turn it on and off
- Use storymore block for bodytext in articles, in Slash.pm; added new HTML for storymore block
- Added admin_timeout variable to slashdotrc.pl, which specifies the time in minutes before an idle admin session times out (default is 30) (affected code in Slash.pm)
- Fixed "undefined value as ARRAY reference" in index.pl, from when a section has no blocks
- Once again, fix All Authors and All Topics put in database
- Fix search.pl to search ALL sections (including those set to only show up in one section) when "All Sections" is selected (Marco Paglioni)
- Fixed users.pl to point to article.pl?sid=$sid instead of $S->{section}/$sid.shtml if writestatus != 10 (that is, the story is not archived) (madman, GrnArrow)
- Got rid of "javascript:" (actually,
- Changed titlebar block because right corner looked bad in IE 5 (Tasman is better? ha!)
- Added color block "slash_colors"
- Added the ability to preview index.pl in new colors from the site color editor
- Added a document that walks a user through the admin interface that is also accessable from the help admin menu "getting_started.shtml".
- Fixed utils/slashd to not have to "su". It now runs setuser, and modified slashd to open a pid file in logs, which is used to get the pid to start/stop/restart the slashd daemon.
