vocabindex 6.x-2.0-beta1

This is the first beta release of Vocabulary Index 2. No new major features will be added from now on. From this beta to the actual 2.0 release we will only finetune the module (adding minor features and adjusting existing ones) and fix any bugs.

• #283948: Generated menu items break manually added menu items to index pages.

Jun. 30, 2008

• Put the 'view vocabulary index' permission back in because only user 1 was able to see index pages due to a slight bug in hook_menu()

Jun. 24, 2008

• Fixed a minor bug concerning $zebra in the template files. Drupal overrode the $zebra generated by Vocabulary Index. As Vocabulary Index's $zebra was reset for every new list and Drupal's wasn't this caused some unexpected behaviour. The Drupal override has been interrupted (actually I have overriden the Drupal override...) and $zebra will now have a value as expected.
• Simplified the styling a little to make lists look less busy
• Added readme file
• Improved help
• Merged caching admin page with the normal settings page.

Jun. 23, 2008

• #209875: Adding a filter by letter
• Added/updated comments in template files to indicate which variables are available for each file.
• Fixed a minor HTML bug in threaded lists.

Jun. 08, 2008

• Updated the vocabindex.info file with more recent information.
• Fixed some minor CSS issues.
• Added $position to list_item.tpl.php. See that file for more information on its use.

Jun. 07, 2008

• #235365: Index blocks
• #233741: Translations files in "translations" directory
• #233735: Coding standards violations
• #235362: Display node count
• #268005: Caching mechanism
• #252183: CSS doesn't work when module is in sites/all/modules directory
• Vocabulary Index data won't be removed when disabling the Index Pages/Blocks anymore
• Some settings are no longer general. You can now have two Index Pages of which only one is threaded while the other is flat
• Flat Index Pages are fully browsable
• Terms feature breadcrumbs
• The 'view vocabulary index' permission has been removed. Access control should now be done using another module, Taxonomy Access for instance
• The 'manage vocabulary index' has been changed to 'administer vocabulary index' for more consistency with core
• Paths now have lesser restrictions. You may now enter any path that would be a valid menu path (e.g. a path you would use in hook_menu() )

Feb. 10, 2008

• #219959: Caching of index pages
• When deleting vocabularies all data concerning the index page for that vocabulary is deleted as well.
• The uninstaller now cleans up all Vocabindex data. So far only the table was being deleted, but now all variables and - more important - menu items will be deleted too.
• Term descriptions are no longer styled in vocabindex-style.css, except for display:block;. They are now given the class .description, which you might remember from form input descriptions.
• Links to terms are no longer based on /taxonomy/term/[tid] only. If term aliases are present (when you're working with Pathauto) these will be used rather than the /taxonomy/... paths.
• #219753: SQL error after uninstalling module
• Right after installing the module you're not only presented with a link to the settings page, but also with a link to the permissions page.
