...no need to make a separate call to Local_group's setNickname all the time,
or a bunch of redundant code for the Profile table.
Next up is User->update()...
Nickname verifications on registration and updates for profiles (not yet
groups) have been improved.
Minor bugs in RegisterAction were also fixed, where multiple forms would
be outputed because the function did not return after showForm(). This
will be solved more permanently with throwing exceptions in the future.
clientError and serverError exit after they're done so no need for
break or return. Also, $this->format is default.
We also got rid of the incredibly verbose version of $this->isPost()
which was spread all over the place.
Not all of this cleaning up is done yet.
I bet JSONSearchResultsList is a good idea, but we have no immediate use of it right now.
And it's better if the SearchEngine can take care of all that jazz.
I implemented changes from quitter.se's new API that their front-end qvitter
uses, https://github.com/hannesmannerheim/qvitter/blob/master/api-changes-1.1.1/CHANGES
However I left out the URL shortening commens, since I believe whatever behaviour
they experienced that caused them to implement this was a bug (or many) and should
be fixed in their proper areas and that shortening should not be entirely left
out in API calls.
Profile_prefs aims to consolidate all the profile preferences into a
single table. Otherwise we end up with a bajillion *_prefs classes, like
User_urlshortener_prefs, or new fields in existing User/Profile classes,
like 'urlshorteningservice', 'homepage', 'phone_number', 'pet_name' etc.
Eventually we should migrate as many user-settable preferences as we can
into this system.
The data in Profile_prefs is organized by:
* profile_id Identify the current Profile.
* namespace Which plugin/section the preference is for.
* topic Preference name (like 'homepage')
* data Preference data (like 'https://gnu.org/')
The names 'topic' and 'data' are because 'key' and 'value' may be rather
ambigous when dealing with our DB_DataObject classes etc.
