Should fix issue #3027: twitter user avatars not getting imported.
Due to the change in URI, all twitter users that had been previously seen were getting new profile entries, which tried to save the same avatar. This would fail as Avatar.url has a unique index.
Note: now anything new seen in the last couple days in production will still potentially conflict.
Original fixes in c169dcb5221cf3dd452c291bf97374bb459cc5b9; didn't get merged in 39cad55711 because the code had been broken out to another file, but manual merge went smooth.
These affect twitterstatusfetcher.php on all 32-bit installs and some 64-bit installs (depending on whether the version of the JSON library reads the large numbers as long or double internally). 64-bit bug is harder to see as it tends to manifest as off-by-one due to losing a bit of precision off the end.
Added StartRegistrationTry/EndRegistrationTry calls into those three, and moved the actual recording hook to EndUserRegister which is guaranteed to be called from User::register (so we don't need to worry about other auth methods forgetting to call the other UI-code hooks).
Fixes for Twitter bridge breakage on 32-bit servers. New "Snowflake" 64-bit IDs have become too big to fit in the integer portion of double-precision floats, so to reliably use these IDs we need to pull the new string form now.
Machines with 64-bit PHP installation should have had no problems (except on Windows, where integers are still 32 bits)
Conflicts:
plugins/TwitterBridge/twitterimport.php <- as this hasn't been broken out, the import code is NOT FULLY UPDATED HERE.
$config['twitter']['ignore_errors'] = true;
A longer-term solution is to patch up the indirect retry handling to count retries better, or delay for later retry sensibly.
Most annoying error case being where the notice was already faved or deleted on Twitter! :)
Such errors will now just fail out and log a note to the syslog -- the rest of what we were doing will continue on unhindered, so you can still delete, favorite, etc and it just won't sync the info over in that case.
This option may be useful for intranet sites that don't have direct access to the internet, as they may be unable to successfully fetch those resources.
When the retweet failed with a 403 error (say due to it being a private tweet, which can't be retweeted) we would end up mishandling the return value from our internal error handling.
Instead of correctly discarding the message and closing out the queue item, we ended up trying to save a bogus twitter<->local ID mapping, which threw another exception and lead the queue system to re-run it.
- Fixed the logic check and return values for the retweet case in broadcast_twitter().
- Added doc comments explaining the return values on some functions in twitter.php
- Added check on Notice_to_status::saveNew() for empty input -- throw an exception before we try to actually insert into db. :)
