* main notice form setup now encapsulated into SN.Init.NoticeForm(form) -- this can be monkeypatched by plugins to append their own setup code, as LinkPreview does
* LinkPreview now supports debugging with non-minified JS source when $config['site']['minify'] is false
* tweaked core & neo styles so 'notice-status' class gets same styles as attach-status, so we can more easily add mroe statusy things. (needs more consolidation with geo-status, etc)
* tweaked LinkPreview's preview area to use that style
FormNoticeXHR now is triggered on any form labeled with class 'ajax-notice', so those other than the traditional notice form should work as long as they handle the AJAX submission and return a properly formatted notice.
Things to watch out for:
* to determine whether the resulting notice should show on the current timeline, the JS code needs to be able to check the author and such. Keeping the existing vcard bits helps for this!
* the notice form submission stuff clears out inputs from your form -- test to make sure this behaves correctly
* error messages returned from the thingy _should_ come through, but this needs more testing for consistency
* while form components that aren't in a custom form should just be ignored, this should be tested more. (eg there's no location or attachment box for poll or bookmark plugins)
* NoticeListItem isn't currently reachable via autoloader -- touch NoticeList explicitly before calling into it for now.
This change adds the input form switcher, which adds a navigation menu
across the top of the input form, letting you switch between different kinds of input.
The input menu doesn't yet look like a nice set of tabs; it could use some love.
These have been failing for ages due to our outputting full URLs all the time, usually with the default protocol instead of the current one.
Forms would get output with an http: URL in their contents even when destined for an HTTPS page; while a regular form submission would just warn you about the secure->insecure transition, the AJAX code was failing outright and then not bothering to fall back to the regular submission.
I found it was easy to detect the mismatch -- just check the target URL and the current page's protocol before submitting.
Since failing over to non-AJAX submission to the HTTP URL throws up a warning, I figured it'd be easier (and much nicer for users) to just let it rewrite the target URL to use the secure protocol & hostname before doing the final submit.
This check is now automatically done for anything that calls SN.U.FormXHR() -- making most of our buttons on notices and profile/group headers work naturally.
The notice form setup code also runs the rewrite, which gets posting working without an error dialog.
I'd prefer in the long run to simply use relative URLs in most of our output; it avoids this problem completely and lets users simply stay in the current protocol mode instead of being constantly switched back to HTTP when clicking around.
(Note that folks using the SSLAlways extension to Firefox, for instance, will have their browsers constantly sending them back to HTTP pages, mimicking the desired user experience even though we haven't fully implemented it. These folks are likely going to be a lot happier with forms that submit correctly to go along with it!)
Previous code was importing nodes from the XHR result into current document, then pulling text content of what might be the right element, then concat'ing that straight into HTML. Eww! Now pulling the text content straight from the XHR result -- same element that we check for existence of -- and using jQuery's own text() to do the getting and setting of text. Also note that some browsers might have been pulling HTML instead of text, or other funkiness.
