filterbynodetype 6.x-1.5-beta1

This new version brings a couple of changes, optimizations and additions. Although it has been tested and looks working fine, it is tagged beta so kindly try it out and report problems, but probably do not do that if expensive business depends on your site. Also consider backing up your variable table to be on the safe side if anything interferes with the included transformation routine.

Bug fixes:

• The initial variable values definition for the allowed input formats was buggy and did not comply with the logic required for the FAPI #checkboxes type.
• Removed an escape backslash from a translatable string according to translation best practice.

Optimizations:

• Variable uninstallation now works in a more reliable way.
• Formats variable structures have been optimized to match the FAPI needs (checkboxes default values are expected to be arrays, so we best use array variables as the D6 API allows for variables of any type.
• Improved and more logical form handling, now using hook_form_alter() instead of hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
• Removed dedicated form submit handlers in favor of following variable naming conventions (which allows FAPI to auto-save the values directly into the variable table.
• The actual format filter section form processing has moved into a generic helper function in order to be reusable at any time.

New features:

• The input formats for comments may now also be restricted per node type. By default, the restrictions will be the same as for the node type itself, but this can be overridden.
• An update routine exists and you should run update.php immediately after installing the new version. You may want to back up your variable table before updating.
