'admin' is a pretty common username that people try when installing;
it was blacklisted because all of our admin panels were at /admin/*,
which would conflict with the admin user's namespace.
Changed the location of all admin panels to /panel/*, blacklisted the
nickname 'panel', and allowed 'admin'. Tested with a fresh install;
seems to work great.
common_shorten_links() can only access the web session's logged-in user, so never properly took user options into effect for posting via XMPP, API, mail, etc.
Adds an optional $user parameter on common_shorten_links(), and a $user->shortenLinks() as a clearer interface for that.
Tweaked some lower-level functions so $user gets passed down -- making the $notice_id param previously there for saving URLs at notice save time generalized a little.
Note also ticket #2919: there's a lot of duplicate code calling the shortening, checking the length, and reporting near-identical error messages. These should be consolidated to aid in code and translation maintenance.
updates. Facebook has disabled the ability to store user preferences
via their old REST API, causing our application to break. Also, verbs
in status updates seem to be deprecated, and stream posts don't seem
to have a verb.
Revert "Locale switch cleanup: use common_switch_locale() which is safer for updating gettext state. Also moved a few calls to reduce chance of hitting an exception before switching back."
This reverts commit 74a89b1fc3.
- Use FQL to check for publish stream permission instead of old REST API
- Better error handling, especially for error code 100
- More logging / better log messages
Note that much of that form is duplicated several times for Twitter, Facebook, and OpenID registrations -- these need to be refactored to avoid having multiple out-of-sync copies of code and messages.
* added locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/statusnet.po to make it easier to start customizing English texts
* added notes to locale/README about customizing and how to disable languages you haven't customized
* renamed PO templates from *.po to *.pot to match general conventions and reduce confusion for people trying to find which file they're supposed to edit
