Action extended classes now can set 'needLogin' as a protected property,
which is defaulted to 'false'. However, FormAction defaults this to 'true'
because most of the form actions will require a current login to be valid.
NewgroupAction, NewmessageAction, NewnoticeAction are all affected by this
commit and in the future we will migrate each potential formaction to the
proper class parent tree. :)
Also, there is no need to do 'return' after throwing a ClientError
Exception. And we'll use the Action->clientError for logging benefits
until the error handling is properly done all the way to backend.
Had to change Action function 'prepare' to 'protected', as you can't
(of course) protect something that's been public in a parent class. The
other way around seems fine for PHP... Eventually all actions will have
protected 'prepare' (use execute/run)
A feature of the previously fixed initialization of Action classes, is
that we now have $this->scoped which is the current profile in use. As
of now that is always a local User, except the corresponding Profile
object.
Also, instead of calling 'showForm' everywhere, in case of an error we
just throw an exception of some sort and pass the message along there.
I've also introduced in FormAction the 'showInstructions' function in
order to get a unified instructions/info/error display method.
TODO: Improve info/error message handling, and what/when/where to show.
I used this hacky sed-command (run it from your GNU Social root, or change the first grep's path to where it actually lies) to do a rough fix on all ::staticGet calls and rename them to ::getKV
sed -i -s -e '/DataObject::staticGet/I!s/::staticGet/::getKV/Ig' $(grep -R ::staticGet `pwd`/* | grep -v -e '^extlib' | grep -v DataObject:: |grep -v "function staticGet"|cut -d: -f1 |sort |uniq)
If you're applying this, remember to change the Managed_DataObject and Memcached_DataObject function definitions of staticGet to getKV!
This might of course take some getting used to, or modification fo StatusNet plugins, but the result is that all the static calls (to staticGet) are now properly made without breaking PHP Strict Standards. Standards are there to be followed (and they caused some very bad confusion when used with get_called_class)
Reasonably any plugin or code that tests for the definition of 'GNUSOCIAL' or similar will take this change into consideration.
Issue #3125 at http://status.net/open-source/issues/3125 (and its duplicate 3127) describe buggy behaviour when trying to create a new group - i.e. the group is still created but with nickname NULL.
The reason the group is created is that when failing Nickname::normalize, the function trySave() in actions/newgroup.php doesn't call 'return' - meaning it just keeps going despite the error thrown. It a
So the simple solution to this bug was adding a return call at line 128, inside the catch just after the showForm(...) call.
Group edit page is at /group/:nickname/edit. There's also a form
parameter named 'nickname'. The two were conflicting.
I changed the form parameter to 'newnickname' and it works.
I'm not sure how this ever worked before, though.
* adds Right::CREATEGROUP
* logic in Profile::hasRight() checks for silencing
* NewgroupAction checks for the permission before letting you see or process the form in the UI
* User_group::register() logic does a low-level check on the specified initial group admin, and rejects creation if that user doesn't have the right; guaranteeing that API methods etc will also have this restriction applied sensibly.
Added code to add and save group aliases. Like tags, aliases are
free-texted in to the group admin page. configurable max number of
aliases, default is three.
After fixing the redirect code output, there are a lot of weirdnesses
with e.g. form handling. Try to add explicit redirect codes where
needed -- principly when handling a POST.
