If you accidentally deleted a remote user's avatar from filesystem,
it'd take until its URL was updated that you got it back. Now it
happens if the local avatar file doesn't exist.
will verify unknown aliases against old ones if the new identifies as a
previously recognized URI.
Steps:
1. Check the newly received URI. Who does it say it is?
2. Compare these alleged identities to our local database.
3. If we found any locally stored identities, ask it about its aliases.
4. Do any of the aliases from our known identity match the recently introduced one?
Currently we do _not_ update the ostatus_profile table with the new URI.
If we know the URI sent from the remote party, and we don't know the
notice it is replying to, we might still be able to put it in the same
conversation thread!
At the same time we change this to call ActivityUtils::checkAuthorship
instead to let the retrieval/verification go through event handling.
rozzin (Joshua Judson Rosen) found this error. Thanks.
We need to look up a feed profile for HandleFeedEntryWithProfile events,
regardless of whether they're an OStatus user, group, or something else;
this is the least hairy way of doing that--the alternative being
to keep spreading the same logic all over the calling code.
Theoretically, this change might allow OStatusGroups to be recorded
as the authors of activities if they pass through any authorless
activities; but that's why we have checkAuthorship().
Similarly to what ActivityUtils::checkAuthorship does; try to ensure
that activities from ambiguous OStatus feeds (groups and peopletags)
that require explicit authorship don't get in without explicit authors.
Lost dependency of OStatus plugin for lib/microappplugin.php, whoo!
also noting which plugins should be upgraded to new saveActivity support.
Favorite plugin won't work with the new system just yet, it doesn't have
the necessary functions to extract activity objects, but that's coming
in the next (few) commits.
saveActivity will accept an Activity which gets parsed and saved through
plugins. So when an ActivityHandlerPlugin (such as Favorite will be soon)
gets a feed to save, this will be the function called instead of saveNew.
"[...] posts _local_ users (like you) make won't get data about "repeated by"
from federated users"
This was because the ActivityObject would processShare where the shared object
has a _local_ 'actor' URI. Ostatus_profile would complain this meant that a
"Local user cannot be referenced as remote.".
So we see if the shared activity object's id (URI) is in our Notice table, so
we don't have to processActivity - and can skip ensureActivityObjectProfile.
