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?
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.
* 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.
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.
