Drupal 4.4 Released

April 2nd, 2004

Like the title says, Drupal 4.4.0 has been released. Lots of new features and improvements in the areas of usability and accessibility. See the announcement for full details.

I’m eager to upgrade, but I’ve encountered some problems with the current polytechnic theme. It’s based on an old 4.2 theme called stylebox by Curtis Nelson, and the improvements to Drupal in the theme system don’t play too well with my current setup (ie: it’s borked).

I’ve been meaning to update the theme to the xtemplate system (specifically a variant on Pushbutton) so I’m holding off on the upgrade until I can get that sorted out.

In related news the Drupal 4.5 battle plan is worth a read. ACLs and improved image handling… woo!

Drupal 4.3

November 11th, 2003

So while I was away they decided to release drupal 4.3. What swines!

Anyway, we’re now on 4.3 and it’s running like a charm. I had a few minor issues with the database upgrade, but nothing nasty and probably more due to me dicking around with some stuff during the 4.2 cycle.

Intergrated admin menus++ (hence the slight reordering of blocks).

Photo gallery is back

September 23rd, 2003

Well that wasn’t too bad. Cleaned out some old pictures while I was moving them across, but hopefully no one will miss anything major.

There are still a few kinks to work out

  1. Some minor layout issues on the album lists, but that can wait. It doesn’t interfere with the navigation.
  2. I had to lose the existing comments, sorry, but the upside is that the comment system is now running through drupal and so is much more powerful (yes Martin, you can use HTML now). If you were particularly attached to some witty aside, then feel free to add it back in.
  3. I haven’t ported across all the descriptions yet, EUVolt, and some of the misc stuff has been done. I’m working on the rest.

Oh yeah, and the really cool thing is that I can now embed images into other node types, as you may have noticed!

Update: Changed the link to the EUVolt pictures.

Photo Gallery

September 23rd, 2003

Finally got the code in the drupal image.module cleaned up and approaching xhtml1.0 transitional, so I’m gonna take the Gallery off the site for a bit while I update and move the pictures over.
