Code tour, March 09 - March 16

[yvi]

Hello, this is Yvi, doing another code tour for the interested laypeople and beyond :) Last week, we had a pretty quiet week because people are working on awesome, big projects and such we only have 7 resolved bugs this week, 6 of which are in Styles.


Bug 11: Allow community maintainers to disable comments on entries
Category: Misc UI/Frontend
Patch by: yvi
Description: I admit, this is the reason I volunteered. Because I want to gloat and denise gave me permission to do so. This bug has the number 11 and has been in the bug tracker since July 10, 2008. It's not a bug, but an enhancement: if things get too hot in the comments to an entry community maintainers can disable comments. This setting can be overridden by the entry poster (and their edit takes precedence: a community maintainer cannot disable them again after the poster enabled them again or enable comments when the poster has disabled them).

Bug 1974: NNWM 2009: Multi-layout themed color bundle
Category: Style System
Patch by: zvi
Description: We could finally close the NaNoWriMo 2009 style bug, which added themes for all styles (which all went live several weeks ago, so you didn't miss anything there).

Bug 2183: Keep 'link' in the entry management links at all times, not just before comments
Category: Style System
Patch by: kareila
Description: From this post in dw_suggestions. From the suggestions post: Make the 'link' link (in the entry-management-links) consistent, instead of making it disappear once a comment's posted to an entry.

Bug 2419: Themes: Tehotenion and Shadow Boxing (Transmogrified)
Category: Style System
Patch by: ninetydegrees
Description: More themes for Transmogrified. From what I can see in the preview, one is a light color layout and the other is purple on black.

Bug 2420: Layout: Nouveau Oleanders
Category: Style System
Patch by: branchandroot
Description: A new layout! And five themes for it.

Bug 2432: Clean Crossroads layout.s2 to remove superfluous code
Category: Style System
Patch by: ninetydegrees
Description: ninetydegrees did some lovely code cleanup in the Styles code. Removing unneeded lines, fixing spelling errors, that sort of thing. Always good to have clean code!

Bug 2439: Blanket: comment background CSS hardcoded to white
Category: Style System
Patch by: ninetydegrees
Description: The comment background in the Blanket layout was hardcoded, meaning that it couldn't be changed through the wizard. Now it can be changed.

Bug 2440: Clean Crossroads themes.s2 and crossroads.pm to remove superfluous code
Category: Style System
Patch by: ninetydegrees
Description: More clean-up.
