Revision history for WWW::Sitebase

0.09 2009-08-10

0.08 2009-08-10

• Fixed handling and documentation of default_options
• Fixed bug in Sitebase::save method to make it work as documented

0.07 2009-08-08

• Updated Navigor to use decoded_content instead of content method when checking pages for regular expressions. This solves problems that can occur when scanning pages with UTF-8 encoding.

• Added use tests for Navigator and Poster in 01-load.t

0.05 2007-08-03

0.03 2007-07-31

• Corrected version 0.02 release date
• Added "login_form_no" and "login_form_name" fields to site_info hash. This fixes an obvious bug in which logins would fail if the login form wasn't the second one on the page (which, oddly, it usually is...).
• Added submitlogin method which can be overridden if needed to provide more control over the login form.
• Fixed docs for submit_form.
• Included Navigator and Poster in the distribution...

• gohome method now goes to site's homepage if not logged in.

• Added post_count method to Poster.pm (0.3)
• Renamed Sitebase::Base -> Sitebase.
• Renamed Sitebase -> Sitebase::Navigator.

    • Sitebase contains basic param validation, etc. It really could be used for almost any module.

0.01 2006-09-30

        First version.
        Includes WWW::Sitebase and WWW::Sitebase::Base, which
        is my general base class with handy generic parsing and
        load/save methods and should probably be renamed to
        "BaseClass" or something.
