Releases for Domain Access

This is the final release in the Drupal 6 cycle. Consider the module feature complete for Drupal 6. Any additional features will need to be handled by extension modules.

The Drupal 6 version is now in bugfix only mode, so we can move to Drupal 7.

Upgrade Notes

-- Requires running update.php

-- If you are using the URL Alter module, you must upgrade it to 6.x.1.2 or higher.

-- Domain Views users: We removed a hack that applied domain filters on all views. There is a Drupal core issue for the best way to resolve duplicate items in View when node access modules are present.
You may need to edit your Views to use 'distinct'. You may also need to adjust the filters on your View.
There is nothing that Domain Access can do to fix this problem. For more information, see #284392: db_rewrite_sql causing issues with DISTINCT and assist with the patch there.

-- There are some new permissions and settings. Please see the documentation below, and in README.txt. In particular, the change in #615294: Force node access rules on admins will allow you to preview your site as user 1 and see what normal site visitors will see.

New Features

-- #576444: Publish To... select box or drop down? by jeremyr and nonsie. Makes the selection of domains configurable as checkboxes or select list.
-- #372887: Global option for batch settings patch by nonsie and blackdog. Super-awesome set values for all domains in domain batch.

RC9 is the final release candidate before the stable 6.x.2.0.

Running update.php is required after installation. There will be an error report that can be safely ignored, see #557702: Missing $ret in update 6202.

I will release 6.x.2.0 during DrupalCON Paris, after we have tested this last batch of changes.

Developer Notes

-- The handling of multiple instances of custom_url_rewrite_* has changed. We now use the URL Alter module to handle conflicts. See #529026: Integrate with URL Alter module by Dave Reid
-- Domain Access works with Drush, but requires a --uri argument, like other multisite configurations.
-- Domain CTools is a new, stand-alone project.
-- Adds domain_get_primary_table($table) escaping function.
-- [#504529]. Adds domain_get_domain() as suggested by wildkatana.

-- I am considering splitting Domain Views from the main project before release. See #557232: Split modules to subprojects to comment.

New Features

There are no new features. Domain Content can now handle large domains lists, and other domains lists added pagination.
