If set up, this hub will be used to subscribe to feeds that don't specify a hub of their own.
Assumes that the fallback hub will, in fact, handle polling and updates for any feed we throw at it!
Authentication may be specified for the fallback hub.
Example:
$config['feedsub']['fallback_hub'] = 'https://superfeedr.com/hubbub';
$config['feedsub']['hub_user'] = 'abcd';
$config['feedsub']['hub_pass'] = 'ckcmdkmckdmkcdk';
Also:
* Fix for WordPress-RSS-via-Superfeedr-Atom; if we have <author> info but no ID from a native ActivityStreams actor, don't freak out in the low-level processing code that checks for identity matches.
* enhanced messages for low-level FeedSub exceptions if they make it to outside display
SubMirror: redid add-mirror frontend to accept a feed URL, then pass that on to OStatus, instead of pulling from your subscriptions.
Profile: tweaked subscriberCount() so it doesn't subtract 1 for foreign profiles who aren't subscribed to themselves; instead excludes the self-subscription in the count query.
Memcached_DataObject: tweak to avoid extra error spew in the DB error raising
Work in progress: tweaking feedsub garbage collection so we can count other uses
The code pattern 'new XXXException($e)' to chain exceptions doesn't actually work as intended, as exceptions are actually expecting a string message here.
This caused an implicit string conversion from HTTP_Request2_Exception, which is a PEAR_Exception, which defines an absurdly detailed __toString() method including a giant HTML table with a backtrace if you happen to be on a web request.
Simply passing $e->getMessage() instead clears this up, as we'll get the nice short message like 'Couldn't connect to tcp://blahblah:80'
This is really just a hack for the broken CSS in the Cloudy theme, I think; copying from other non-notice-navigation pages that do this as well. There will be plenty of others also broken.
The ensure* family of functions will now return an OStatusShadowException in this case, which gives us a pleasant error message instead of a giant exception backtrace when you do 'sub somebody@this.local.server'.
Can be extended later to allow actually using the local profile, since we could figure it out.
* 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
We do the OStatus queue first, so if we're sending a notice to the
same server twice (e.g., with OMB), our richer and more featureful
notice comes in first.
