We've been muddling through with 6- or 8-argument functions for managing streams. I'd
like to start thinking of streams as their own thing, and give them some more value.
So, the new NoticeStream class takes over the Notice::stream() function and Notice::getStreamByIds().
There's probably some fine-tuning to do on the object interface.
like leprous boils in our code. So, I've replaced all of them with //
comments instead. It's a massive, meaningless, and potentially buggy
change -- great one for the middle of a release cycle, eh?
* 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.
Doesn't clear all possible cached entries, but this should get the ones that matter most: lookups by id, nickname, and alias. This should ensure that if a group name gets reused as a new group or alias, it should work properly.
There are some user-visible areas that aren't clear such as the 'top groups' lists on the GroupsAction sidebar; if a deleted group appears in those lists it'll go away within an hour when the cached query expires.
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
* detection of group feeds is currently a nasty hack based on presence of '/groups/' in URL -- should use some property on the feed?
* listing for the remote group is kinda cruddy; needs to be named more cleanly
* still need to establish per-author profiles (easier once we have the updated Atom code in)
* group delivery probably not right yet
* saving of group messages still triggering some weird behavior
Added support for since_id and max_id on group timeline feeds as a free extra. Enjoy!
For various reasons, it's nicer to have a class for theme-file paths
and such. So, I've rewritten the code for determining the locations of
theme files to be more OOPy.
I changed all the uses of the two functions in the module (theme_file
and theme_path) to use Theme::file and Theme::path respectively.
I've also removed the code in common.php that require's the module;
using a class means we can autoload it instead.
Correctly link and distribute notices tagged for a group alias. Added
a helper function, getForNickname(), to User_group, to make it easier
to get a group by its nickname or aliases.
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.
List users who are blocked from joining a group. Add a form to let
them be unblocked. Add an action that removes the block. Includes
changes to group and groupblock classes.
Moved the common_avatar_* functions to the Avatar class. Typically
either as methods on the object or as static methods. Replaced all the
uses of the functions in other modules.
