New, wider theme!

29th Sep
2009

framework_theme.pngI've updated this site's theme- wait, scrap that. I've completely replaced the old, aging theme with a new one based on Framework. Just like Vision Express, Framework allowed me to finish the theme "in about an hour", simply copying what CSS was needed from the old theme with a fair bit of poking with Firebug. To quote @berkes, "I can hardly believe there ever was a time I did CSS-ing without #firebug. How on earth?" I am inclined to agree.

Anyway, Framework is a great theme to build on - thanks andregriffin!

Role Weights gets Token support and a 6.x branch

22nd Jun
2009

Role Weights finally gets a bit of loving in the form of a 5.x-1.4 release with a couple of new features, namely Token support for a user's lightest and heaviest roles and the optional re-ordering of /admin/user/roles and /admin/user/access forms by role weight. These features were introduced in 5.x-1.3, however 5.x-1.4 also fixes a bug which left orphaned entries in the role_weights table after roles got deleted.

I've also branched for 6.x compatibility (at last) - snapshots from 6.x-1.x-dev should be functional and in line feature-wise with 5.x-1.4, bar Views 2 support. I'd love to improve Role Weights for 6.x: re-writing support for Views 2 and adding drag and drop re-ordering of roles being two areas that need some attention, but I'm just too darn short on time at the moment. As always, patches and reviews are welcome in the issue queue!

As a side note, I found this reference pretty useful regarding some function/API changes not mentioned elsewhere.
