Notice::saveNew() now does these checks directly when making a repeat:
* make sure the original is valid and existing
* stop you from repeating your own message
* stop you from repeating something you've previously repeated
* prevent repeats of any non-public messages
* explicit inScope() check to make sure you can read the original too (just in case there's a funky extension at play that changes scoping rules)
These error conditions throw exceptions, which the caller either uses as an error message or passes on up the stack, without having to duplicate the checks in each i/o channel.
Numbered parameters when more than one used in a message.
L10n updates for consistency.
i18n for non-translatable exception.
Updated translator documentation.
Removed superfluous whitespace.
We disallow repeating a notice (or whatever) if the scope of the
notice is too private. So, only notices that are public scope
(available to everyone in the world) or site scope (available to
everyone on the site) can be repeated.
Enforce this rule at a low level in Notice.php, and in the API,
commands, and Web UI. Repeat button doesn't appear on tightly-scoped
notices in the Web UI.
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?
As a hack this removes the mysql_timestamp bit from the field settings on reply.modified so that our value actually gets saved. This *should* work ok as long as system timezone is set correctly, which we now set to UTC to match when connecting.
I've extended the rights framework (centering on the Right class and Profile::hasRight()) to cover
Web login and API use. This will make it possible to prevent login and API use by users.
I added two new Right constants to the Right class: WEBLOGIN and API. I check these rights using
Profile::hasRight() when initializing users. If the rights check fails, I throw an exception.
I created a new AuthorizationException class for this particular
exception, in order to allow a different UI for these kinds of exceptions (or whatever).
Workaround for deleted profiles still appearing in cached subscriptions/subscribers lists: if we couldn't fetch them, don't include them in the ArrayWrapper.
ArrayWrapper doesn't deal well with null entries, which aren't meant to happen in how it works. This code has recently changed from dying directly with a PHP fatal error in that case to throwing an exception, which allows tracking down the caller.
It looks like there might be some cases where profiles and their matching subscriptions get deleted, but the subscription entries don't get properly cleared from cache... that still bears further investigation. The regular code path looks ok; calls Subscription::cancel() from code called in Profile::delete(); but if they're batch-deleted instead of one row at a time, that could fail to trigger.
$config['site']['logperf'] = true; // to record & dump total hits of each type and the runtime to syslog
$config['site']['logperf_detail'] = true; // very verbose -- dump the individual cache keys and queries as they get used (may contain private info in some queries)
Seeing 180 cache gets on a timeline page seems not unusual currently; since these run in serial, even relatively small roundtrip times can add up heavily.
We should consider ways to reduce the number of round trips, such as more frequently storing compound objects or the output of processing in memcached.
Doing parallel multi-key lookups could also help by collapsing round-trip times, but might not be easy to fit into SN's object model. (For things like streams this should actually work pretty well -- grab the list, then when it's returned go grab all the individual items in parallel and return the list)
* dropped unnecessary join on notice table
* made the function actually static, since it makes no sense as an instance variable. The only caller (in AttachmentList) is updated.
MySQL stores TIMESTAMP columns as UTC, but with a local time interface. (SRSLY?!) DATETIME columns are always bare and assumed to be local time, but we keep only UTC in them.
Forcing the session time_zone to UTC means we won't have to worry as much about what we're sending/receiving in there.
Also will let us remove the hack in master commit a7abb2323e for session tweaks
Had to tweak statusnet.ini to remove the DB_DATAOBJECT_MYSQLTIMESTAMP bitfield constant on session.modified; while it sounds like a useful and legit setting, it actually just means that DB_DataObject silently fails to pass through any attempts to explicitly set the value. As a result, MySQL does its default behavior which is to insert the current *LOCAL* time, which is useless.
This was leading to early GC west of GMT, or late GC east of it. Early GC could at worst destroy all live sessions (whoever's session *triggered* GC is fine, as the session then gets saved right back.)
Previously, if someone you subscribe to repeats a notice by someone you've blocked, you got the message and had to just roll your eyes.
Now blocks are checked against both the current notice's posting profile, and the poster of the original if it's a repeat.
It seems to have actually been saving correctly, but the update of the colors on the form success page wasn't working properly.
When a design object is pulled out of the database, the numeric fields are read in as strings, so black comes back as "0".
But, when we populate the new object and then stick it live, we've populated it with actual integers; with memcache on these might live for a while in the cache...
The fallback code in Design::toWebColor() did a check ($color == null) which would be false for the string "0", but counts as true for the *integer* 0.
Thus, the display code would initially interpret the correctly-saved black color as "use default".
Changing the check to === against null and "" empty string avoids the false positive on integers, and lets us see our nice black text immediately after save.
* 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.
Made two new functions, Subscription::bySubscriber() and
Subscription::bySubscribed(), to get streams of Subscription objects.
Converted Profile::getSubscribers() and Profile::getSubscriptions() to
use these functions.
Big thanks to the folks at http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16745 for the secret juju!
Classes were being torn down before session save handlers got called at the end of the request, which exploded with complaints about being unable to find various classes.
Registering a shutdown function lets us explicitly close out the session before everything gets torn down.

We had two ways to generate an activity entry from a notice; one through
Notice::asAtomEntry() and one through Notice::asActivity() and
Activity::asString(). The code paths had already diverged somewhat. I
took the conditions that were in Notice::asAtomEntry() and made sure
they were replicated in the other two functions. Then, I rewrote
Notice::asAtomEntry() to use the other two functions instead.
This change passes the ActivityGenerationTests unit tests, but there
may be some other stuff that's not getting covered.
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.
Code was doing a batch call to $avatar->delete() which fails to properly engage the file deletion code. Calling the existing profile->delete_avatars() function deletes them individually, which makes it all work nice again.
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.
Newly supported:
- TwitPic: added a local function using TwitPic's API, since the oohembed implementation for TwitPic produced invalid output which Services_oEmbed rejects. (bug filed upstream)
Tweaked...
- Flickr: works, now using whitelist to use their endpoint directly instead of going through oohembed
- Youtube: worked around a bug in Services_oEmbed which broke the direct use of API discovery info, so we don't have to use oohembed.
Not currently working...
- YFrog: whitelisting their endpoint directly as the oohembed output is broken, but this doesn't appear to work currently as I think things are confused by YFrog's servers giving a '204 No Content' response on our HEAD checks on the original link.
The old code attempted to compare the value of the notice.created field against now() directly, which tends to explode in our current systems. now() comes up as the server/connection local timezone generally, while the created field is currently set as hardcoded UTC from the web servers. This would lead to breakage when we got a difference in seconds that's several hours off in either direction (depending on the local timezone). New code calculates a threshold by subtracting the number of seconds from the current UNIX timestamp and passing that in in correct format for a simple comparison. As a bonus, this should also be more efficient, as it should be able to follow the index on profile_id and created.
