It's not currently used, and won't be efficient when we update the notice.profile_id_idx index to optimize for our id-based sorting when pulling user post lists for profile pages, feeds etc.
On my test system (without memcache), while testing the LDAP
authentication plugin, when I sign in for the first time, triggering
auto-registration, I get these messages in the output page:
Warning: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/jeff/Documents/code/statusnet/classes/Memcached_DataObject.php on line 219
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/jeff/Documents/code/statusnet/classes/Memcached_DataObject.php on line 224
Warning: assert() [function.assert]: Assertion failed in /home/jeff/Documents/code/statusnet/classes/Memcached_DataObject.php on line 241
(plus two "Cannot modify header information..." messages as a result of
the above warnings)
This change appears to fix this (although I can't really explain exactly
why).
Also stripping id from foreign HTML messages (could interfere with UI) and disabled failing attachment popup for a.attachment links that don't have a proper id, so you can click through instead of getting an error.
Issues:
* any other links aren't marked and saved
* inconsistent behavior between local and remote attachments (local displays in lightbox, remote doesn't)
* if the enclosure'd object isn't referenced in the content, you won't be offered a link to it in our UI
We only need one author for user feeds: the user themselves. So, show
the user as the activity:subject, and don't repeat the same
activity:actor for every notice unnecessarily.
In a federated system, "@nickname" is insufficient to uniquely
identify a user. However, it's a very convenient idiom. We need to
guess from context who 'nickname' refers to.
Previously, we were using the sender's profile (or what we knew about
them) as the only context. So, we assumed that they'd be mentioning to
someone they followed, or someone who followed them, or someone on
their own server.
Now, we include the notice information for context. We check to see if
the notice is a reply to another notice, and if the author of the
original notice has the nickname 'nickname', then the mention is
probably for them. Alternately, if the original notice mentions someone
with nickname 'nickname', then this notice is probably referring to
_them_.
Doing this kind of context sleuthing means we have to render the
content very late in the notice-saving process.
