Karma's Nucleus DevBlog

Yet another addition in CVS: when on the admin area as a super-admin, the Nucleus version number in the top-right corner is now clickable, and points to a version check page.

The code for account activation has been committed to CVS. I need to do some more testing and tweaking, but it's starting to look fine.

If you're tracking CVS, you'll notice the addition of an upgrade3.2.php file. This does not mean that the next Nucleus version will be v3.2. I just needed something larger than v3.1. The actual version number will be decided based on the number of changes made. The reason for including an upgrade script now, is that you'll need it to create the new nucleus_activation table.

I've been able to move the captcha functionality into a plugin, NP_Captcha. It's not complete yet. It needs some more work, but it's in the plugins project CVS repository as of now.

Captchas are now also present on the member info pages, when non-members are allowed to send e-mail messages to members.

The changes to the core are now also in CVS. I'll highlight the changes in this post.

Learned something new today: When $Id$ is present in a file, CVS replaces it by Aa standard header containing the name, revision number and date (UTC) of the file. I've added it in most of the Nucleus core files.

I've been moving some hardcoded string over to the language files. The changes are only in english.php. In order to avoid partially updated language files, I don't think it's wise to start updating other language files right away. New constants might still be added.

Some weeks before the final release of the next version, we'll mark the language file version as final and let the translators do their magic. Ideally, updated versions for all language files would then be able at the time of release.

If you come across hardcoded text, feel free to let one of the developers know. I know some pages like the bookmarklet page are entirely hardcoded in english. Didn't quite know what to do with that...
