This bug was hitting a number of places where we had the pattern:
$db->find();
while($dbo->fetch()) {
$x = clone($dbo);
// do anything with $x other than storing it in an array
}
The cloned object's destructor would trigger on the second run through the loop, freeing the database result set -- not really what we wanted.
(Loops that stored the clones into an array were fine, since the clones stay in scope in the array longer than the original does.)
Detaching the database result from the clone lets us work with its data without interfering with the rest of the query.
In the unlikely even that somebody is making clones in the middle of a query, then trying to continue the query with the clone instead of the original object, well they're gonna be broken now.
It's not currently used, and won't be efficient when we update the notice.profile_id_idx index to optimize for our id-based sorting when pulling user post lists for profile pages, feeds etc.
Also stripping id from foreign HTML messages (could interfere with UI) and disabled failing attachment popup for a.attachment links that don't have a proper id, so you can click through instead of getting an error.
Issues:
* any other links aren't marked and saved
* inconsistent behavior between local and remote attachments (local displays in lightbox, remote doesn't)
* if the enclosure'd object isn't referenced in the content, you won't be offered a link to it in our UI
We only need one author for user feeds: the user themselves. So, show
the user as the activity:subject, and don't repeat the same
activity:actor for every notice unnecessarily.
In a federated system, "@nickname" is insufficient to uniquely
identify a user. However, it's a very convenient idiom. We need to
guess from context who 'nickname' refers to.
Previously, we were using the sender's profile (or what we knew about
them) as the only context. So, we assumed that they'd be mentioning to
someone they followed, or someone who followed them, or someone on
their own server.
Now, we include the notice information for context. We check to see if
the notice is a reply to another notice, and if the author of the
original notice has the nickname 'nickname', then the mention is
probably for them. Alternately, if the original notice mentions someone
with nickname 'nickname', then this notice is probably referring to
_them_.
Doing this kind of context sleuthing means we have to render the
content very late in the notice-saving process.
We add a local_group table to store data about local groups. It has
the unique key for nickname, so /group/<nickname> looks up here.
Updated DB data object classes and data files.
- added rel="ostatus:attention" links for group delivery
- added events for plugins to override group profile/permalink pages
- pulled Notice::saveGroups up to save-time so we can override;
it's relatively cheap and gives us a clean list of target
groups for distrib time even with customized delivery.
- fixed notice::getGroups to return group objects as expected
- added some doc on new parameters to Notice::saveNew
- 'groups' list of group IDs to push to in place of parsing
- messages that come in via PuSH and contain local group targets
are delivered to local group members
- messages that come in via PuSH and contain remote group targets
are delivered to local members of the remote group
Todo:
- handle group posts that only come through Salmon
- handle conflicts in case something comes in both through Salmon and PuSH
- better source verification
- need a cleaner interface to look up groups by URI
- need a way to handle remote groups with conflicting names
