Ecco Joomla 1.6, in anteprima

Oggi ho scoperto per caso che il codice di Joomla 1.6 è disponibile via SVN, ovvero scaricabile usando un client Subversion.

Ovviamente si tratta di work-in-progress, per niente utilizzabile, ma questo è lo stato attuale della futura versione di Joomla. E poter avere accesso libero al server SVN per curiosare "in diretta" mi ha sorpreso.

I parametri di accesso sono gli stessi usati per la versione 1.5, solo che l'indirizzo è

http://joomlacode.org/svn/joomla/development/branches/refactoring

Ecco qualche novità che sono subito andato a cercare.

Access Control

Partiamo da quello che tutti si aspettano: ACL.

administrator/components/com_acl

Nel database sono presenti nuove tabelle:

jos_core_acl_acl
jos_core_acl_acl_sections
jos_core_acl_aco
jos_core_acl_aco_map
jos_core_acl_aco_sections
jos_core_acl_aro_groups_map
jos_core_acl_axo
jos_core_acl_axo_groups
jos_core_acl_axo_groups_map
jos_core_acl_axo_map
jos_core_acl_axo_sections
jos_core_acl_groups_axo_map

Il componente è in attuale fase di sviluppo, come evidenziano i commit da 11120 a 11124. E' stato aggiunto l'11 Ottobre da Andrew Eddie, che è attualmente - in questo momento - al lavoro per integrarlo al meglio.

Directory dei contatti

This component shows a listing of contact information like a contact directory.

I file sono memorizzati in

administrator/components/com_contactdirectory

components/com_contactdirectory

Le seguenti nuove tabelle nel database memorizzano i dati di questa directory:

jos_contactdirectory_contacts
jos_contactdirectory_fields
jos_contactdirectory_details
jos_contactdirectory_con_cat_map

Il componente sembra essere già ad un ottimo punto di sviluppo e l'ultimo intervento su di esso risale a 2 settimane fa. Potrebbe anche essere installato su Joomla 1.5 per testarne il funzionamento.

Il changelog

Joomla 1.6 ha iniziato ad essere sviluppata appena prima del rilascio di Joomla 1.5.3. Da lì il changeset cambia e prende una strada propria, anche se ovviamente molte modifiche a Joomla 1.5 (sicurezza in primis) vengono inserite anche in questo branch. Questi i dettagli:
