Here is a patch that fixes the following problems and introduces new functionality:

  • Extensive options on administrative page.
    http://drupal.org/node/138442
  • A list of allowed content types.
    http://drupal.org/node/167312
  • Show only publised nodes and comments for published nodes.
    http://drupal.org/node/145282
  • Extensive access checks for recent changes page and feeds on all levels: content types, nodes and revisions. Inaccessible content will not be listed on the recent changes page, while headers of inaccessible content might be listed in recent changes feeds, depending on the settings.

    http://drupal.org/node/217262
    http://drupal.org/node/133676
  • RSS feeds per content type.
    5.x-1.x-dev
  • Filter allows for multiple content type selection, depending on settings in administrative page.
  • Filter contains 'comments' option, instead of providing it as an additional checkbox. To select comments for certain content types, multiple selection can be enabled in the administrative page.
  • Human-friendly content type names instead of machine-readable content types.
  • Links to older revisions (if necessary) instead of current revisions.
  • Content type page filter shows only allowed and accessible content types.
  • Added options 'updated' for changed content and 'revised' for new revisions. The options 'moved' and 'new' are also still available.
  • The users in the 'user' column are the users that performed the 'post' or 'update' actions. Owners (authors) are shown if the changes were made by another user than the owner of that node.
  • Speed up of SQL queries (no queries inside for or foreach loops).
  • Many other fixes and features

This new version of the patch also formats comments, and uses the node_teaser function to make short teasers of long comments. Also fixed a problem with comments for inaccessible content.

hehe, '#'s in filenames should not be allowed. Here is the real patch.

@leop: If this is half as good as it claims to be, you've just made my day. Thanks! I'll test this out on my test instance and report back as to whether it works.

Issue: In the Recent Changes settings.. if I uncheck 'Show diffs in feeds' then save the form, the form refreshes with that setting rechecked.

Issue: A non-logged-in browser cannot access the recent_changes page. Instead the message is

Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

"access content" and "access revisions" is turned on for anonymous. Most of the content on this site is inside a forum and I have Forum Access in use.

#5 I can reproduce this. It is possibly a typo in the variable name.

#6 the recent_changes page needs at least the "access content" permission. Since I cannot reproduce, it might be a problem with Forum Access, which I am not familiar with. Please post a separate issue (since the latest release includes this patch), and let's see if anybody else encounters this problem.

I'll have a look at #5, in the afternoon (Netherlands).
