There are still several improvements which can be made, such as not
having an entirely separate setup of ajax form functions. Instead
those should be implemented in FormAction. But at least now we got
rid of the redundant code use in prepare/handle.
Also, there is no need to do 'return' after throwing a ClientError
Exception. And we'll use the Action->clientError for logging benefits
until the error handling is properly done all the way to backend.
Had to change Action function 'prepare' to 'protected', as you can't
(of course) protect something that's been public in a parent class. The
other way around seems fine for PHP... Eventually all actions will have
protected 'prepare' (use execute/run)
A feature of the previously fixed initialization of Action classes, is
that we now have $this->scoped which is the current profile in use. As
of now that is always a local User, except the corresponding Profile
object.
Also, instead of calling 'showForm' everywhere, in case of an error we
just throw an exception of some sort and pass the message along there.
I've also introduced in FormAction the 'showInstructions' function in
order to get a unified instructions/info/error display method.
TODO: Improve info/error message handling, and what/when/where to show.
I used this hacky sed-command (run it from your GNU Social root, or change the first grep's path to where it actually lies) to do a rough fix on all ::staticGet calls and rename them to ::getKV
sed -i -s -e '/DataObject::staticGet/I!s/::staticGet/::getKV/Ig' $(grep -R ::staticGet `pwd`/* | grep -v -e '^extlib' | grep -v DataObject:: |grep -v "function staticGet"|cut -d: -f1 |sort |uniq)
If you're applying this, remember to change the Managed_DataObject and Memcached_DataObject function definitions of staticGet to getKV!
This might of course take some getting used to, or modification fo StatusNet plugins, but the result is that all the static calls (to staticGet) are now properly made without breaking PHP Strict Standards. Standards are there to be followed (and they caused some very bad confusion when used with get_called_class)
Reasonably any plugin or code that tests for the definition of 'GNUSOCIAL' or similar will take this change into consideration.
Issue #3125 at http://status.net/open-source/issues/3125 (and its duplicate 3127) describe buggy behaviour when trying to create a new group - i.e. the group is still created but with nickname NULL.
The reason the group is created is that when failing Nickname::normalize, the function trySave() in actions/newgroup.php doesn't call 'return' - meaning it just keeps going despite the error thrown. It a
So the simple solution to this bug was adding a return call at line 128, inside the catch just after the showForm(...) call.

Use popular notice stream for favorited page

Use a caching stream for popular notice section
Instead of a big cached query, we now use a caching notice stream for
the popular notice section. It uses a single-table query at the
bottom, then scopes the notices and filters for silenced users. This
should be much nicer to our database servers.
Also clears the popular cache when someone favors or disfavors
something. A nice optimization would be to save the last weights and
re-calculate them at invalidation time, adding the new notice (or not)
depending on its own score. That will have to wait for another day,
though.

Let CachingNoticeStream users skip the ';last' optimization
Group edit page is at /group/:nickname/edit. There's also a form
parameter named 'nickname'. The two were conflicting.
I changed the form parameter to 'newnickname' and it works.
I'm not sure how this ever worked before, though.
Added routes to the router for list pages in single-user mode.
For each of the actions in those routes, use the global single-user
nickname rather than a nickname URL argument to determine the tagger ID.
In nav, and for Ajax, provide the right nicknames.
