dart 6.x-2.x-dev

If you are upgrading from 6.x-1.x READ THESE NOTES CAREFULLY OR YOU WILL LOOSE DATA!

New Features & Improvements

• DART tags now take advantage of ctools exportables_ui which means tags can be cloned, imported, exported, added to features, etc.
• Integration with the context module allow for much more powerful display rules.
• The scheduler form is now integrated directly into the DART tag add/edit form.
• Adding key|value pairs and other data to a tag programmatically is now much simpler.
• Other modules can now alter any $tag as soon as its been loaded - extensibility++
• The entire dart_tag_scheduler table has been eliminated.
• A unique class (based on machine name) is now added to every tag for use by the theme
• MUCH cleaner code!

Upgrading

There is an upgrade path from 6.x-1.x to 6.x-2.x however display rules and scheduled events must be updated manually. To upgrade:

• Log in as user/1, put your site in maintenance mode and backup your database.
• Delete the existing dart folder as several stale files have been removed.
• Download the 6.x-2.x branch and place it in your sites/all/modules folder.
• Run www.site.com/update.php
• If you have added print dart_tag($tag_id); to any files in your theme or in your custom modules these calls must be changed to print dart_tag($tag_machinename); The machine names will be provided to you after the update has finished running.

Notes for Developers

• The main dart_tag table now has a machinename as its primary key and the dtid field has been removed
• There is a new hook call hook_dart_tag_alter(&$tag) that lets you alter any tag just after its been loaded.
• hook_dart_get_vars() is now hook_dart_key_vals(). The new hook expects you to return an array in the form
  

  $key_vals(
    array('key' => 'foo1', 'val' => 'bar1', 'eval' => TRUE),
    array('key' => 'foo2', 'val' => 'bar2', 'eval' => TRUE),
  );
  

• hook_dart_taxonomy_value_callback() is now hook_dart_taxonomy_callbacks_alter()
• hook_dart_sitzone() has been removed. Use hook_dart_tag_alter(&$tag).
• A bunch of variables have changed:
  • dart_prefix -> dart_global_prefix
  • dart_sitezone -> dart_global_site & dart_global_zone
  • dart_slug -> dart_global_slug
  • dart_special_kvs -> dart_special_key_vals
  • dart_kvs is now called dart_key_vals and has been serialized differently
  • dart_taxonomy_default_value_callback -> dart_taxonomy_default_callback
• A bunch of variables have deleted:
  • dart_display_rule_roles
  • dart_display_rule_admin
