Creating structure for SimpleTicket.

Initial import of shared resources for RISC OS Open Limited web site
Ruby On Rails applications into Subversion.

Configured for temporary /rails/typo location on Alpha. Updated
several layouts for RISC OS Open Limited site style. Now produces
proper "Not found" page in redirect_controller.rb. Updates to
database schema from Typo SVN (small change in the way tables are
defined, but same tables end up being defined). Set location of
SendMail in vendor/rails/actionmailer/lib/action_mailer/base.rb.

Attempt to update Typo to a Typo SVN HEAD release from around the
time the prototype installation was set up on the RISC OS Open Limited
web site. Timestamps place this at 04-Jul so a revision from 05-Jul or
earlier was pulled and copied over the 2.6.0 tarball stable code.

Removing 'azure' test directory because version used on RISC OS Open Limited
prototype site has a file in this location.

Initial import of Typo 2.6.0 sources from a downloaded Tarball.
Typo is a Ruby On Rails based blog engine.

Configured for temporary /rails/rforum location on Alpha. Updated
several layouts to suit RISC OS Open Limited site style in addition
to producing a theme stylesheet. View changes included a few fixes
to invalid HTML 'class' attribute values (they contained spaces).
Some examples may remain. Note temporary hacks to force in
"/rails/rforum" prefix to some URLs where they are either hard coded
or the user helpers but for currently unknown reasons the helpers are
giving an incorrect result.

Extended menu item renderer to allow a separator string to be
supplied; needed to allow horizontal navigation regions as well as
sidebar-based vertical navigation regions ("|" vs "</li><li>").

Fix in models.rb to allow attempts to unsubscribe from a topic from
which the user has already subscribed - e.g. clicking on the relevant
link in a notification e-mail message twice. Previously, an application
error would be raised.

Extended permissions system to include whether or not a user can post
(can_post?()) or reply (can_reply?()) to a message. Normal and admin
users always can. Guests follow new options token "guests_cannot_post"
(note that this is not the same as "anon_posting_allowed" which asks
that guests supply at least their name rather than be anonymous - of
course that's pretty useless as a guest can put in any name they want,
real or otherwise). The navbar and post_menu controllers know about
the new options and won't generate links for prohibited actions. Topic
controller enforces permissions in case someone builds links by hand.

Changed user_controller.rb to add flash[:attention] tokens when a user
logs in or out. Fixed broken hard-coded URL generation to use url_for
helper method instead. Used the flash[:attention] mechanism to produce
the notification about an e-mail message sent for a forgotten password
rather than writing just that text into a blank page - redirects back
to the forum controller, list action.

This revision is believed to be the functional equivalent of revision
906 of RForum merged with changes made to an unknown prior revision of
RForum along with acts_as_authenticated modification plus the above
set of fixes and documentation. At the time of writing this specific
combination has not been tested live on the RISC OS Open Limited
prototype site.

Applied acts_as_authenticated patch described here:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/71303

Archive obtained from:
http://clanwhiskey.net/bobfunk/rforum_modification.zip

Note that the patch is for RForum 0.2 but it is being applied to a
slightly newer version. The database migration step has had to be
renamed as a result, to 008_... instead of 005_..., since 005 to
007 are now used.

Checking in HEAD from RForum's SVN of 22-Jul-2006, 8pm (revision 906).

Reverting to the Tarball version of RForum. The prototype RISC OS Open
Ltd web site used a HEAD revision of RForum from RForum's SVN but this
specific revision was not recorded, so the changes are unknown. I'm
going to separately apply the current HEAD as a patch to the rolled
back Tarball revision, and apply the RISC OS Open Ltd site version as
a patch, then attempt to merge the latter to the former. If this fails
I'll revert to my original strategy - take the Tarball, commit HEAD,
then commit the web site version (which will implicitly revert to a
slightly earlier RForum version).

Updated to HEAD revision from SVN repository for 22-Jul-2006 at
about 6:30pm.

Initial import of RForum 0.2 sources from a downloaded Tarball.
RForum is a Ruby On Rails based forum and mail gateway service.

Configured for temporary /rails/instiki location on Alpha.
Added auto_export field in database with support in snippets and
relevant changes to views - allows snippets to be sent out to the
filesystem when created or modified (incomplete). Added
filter_help_links for filter help implementation that requires an
additional 'help' method in filters (optional), with relevant
view changes. Might change to a behavior-style description method
in future. Added ERB Filter and Behavior.
