Code tour for the Jan 27-Feb 2, 2010 week

OK, nothing major in this week's collection - 2 patches by [personal profile] foxfirefey, 2 by [staff profile] mark (including one for which he didn't assign the bug to himself - could it be he was ashamed of it?), 1 from LiveJournal, and 6(!) by that up-and-coming new contributor, [staff profile] denise. Everyone welcome her to Dreamwidth!

Bug 2312: holiday paid time promo not ending properly
Category: Site Administration
Patch by: [staff profile] mark
Description: It's not enough to stop talking about it, you also need to stop doing it.

Bug 2172: Add "feed moved" info to feed accounts.
Category: Misc UI/Frontend
Patch by: [staff profile] denise
Description: This adds a link to the "Help! The URL for feed (mumble) changed!" FAQ to the feed profile, since users will often be staring at that page when they notice the feed's no longer updating.

Bug 2283: uniq cookie should not be an option
Category: Site Administration
Patch by: [staff profile] denise
Description: Pretty much everyone turns this on when installing a LJ-derived site, and then wonders why the option is there at all. Well, for DW it's not.

Bug 2320: Drop mail spamassassin flags as spam
Category: Misc Backend
Patch by: [staff profile] mark
Description: Bloody Vikings!

Bug 2248: Spruce up Gradation Vertical
Category: Misc UI/Frontend
Patch by: [personal profile] foxfirefey
Description: Gradation Vertical was pining fir a makeover. This is it.

Bug 2255: Convert nav.bml to Template Toolkit
Category: Misc Backend
Patch by: [personal profile] foxfirefey
Description: This brings DW 1 inch closer to using 20th 21st century tools.

Bug 2223: Enable native Firefox spellchecker in RTE
Category: Journal contents
Patch by: Original patch by [livejournal.com profile] pkornilov, brought to Dreamwidth by [staff profile] denise
Description: Firefox's contextual menu (the one you get on right-click) has a spellcheck option, but the RTE disabled that menu for all browsers. Now it only disables it for IE.

Bug 2285: completely redo OpenID grant identity validation page
Category: Misc UI/Frontend
Patch by: [staff profile] denise
Description: This explains in a bit more detail what Dreamwidth tells (and doesn't tell) about you to sites that you log in to using your Dreamwidth OpenID.

Bug 2298: change 'Some LiveJournal Site' in default install
Category: Site Administration
Patch by: [staff profile] denise
Description: People using the Dreamwidth code for their own service will no longer be called "Some LiveJournal Site" by default.

Bug 2299: combine /admin/invites and /admin/invitecodes
Category: Site Administration
Patch by: [staff profile] denise
Description: For managing invitations sitewide, you needed to go to /admin/invites to give users invite codes to pass out to others, and /admin/invitecodes to see how many of them were actually used, and by whom. Or is it the other way round? Anyway, now you no longer need to remember. It's all under the same roof.

Bug 2305: remove missing string in syn/index.bml
Category: English-Stripping
Patch by: [staff profile] denise
Description: The code tried to display a message that no longer exists. Now it doesn't try anymore.
