This has the benefit of requiring fewer code changes, as well as providing a better isolation
between GNU social and symfony, useful in case the framework needs to be changed
"Magic quotes" were removed in PHP 5.4, no need to mitigate it anymore.
Avoid implode() with the join()-like order of arguments which was deprecated
since PHP 7.4 and implicitly since PHP 5.3.
Also avoid implode() with an implicit separator for stylistic reasons.
mktime() with no arguments has been deprecated since PHP 5.1.
install.php:
installer.php:
- add option field and handle logic
display.css:
- hardcode ssl's label margin-top value so all options are correctly displayed
For reference (raised by rozzin in IRC):
* http://foldoc.org/module
* http://foldoc.org/library
* http://foldoc.org/plugin
As noted by XRevan86, modules are not necessarily non-essential.
As we will keep the modules directory in GS root [therefore, near to
plugins/], it is evidenced the difference between both.
This is a simple yet fundamental structural change. It doesn't change
functionality but makes clearer the way we understand GNU social's
internals.
Advantages:
* Increases security by preventing direct access to file/
* We are careful and have a defined('GNUSOCIAL') || die() to prevent
direct access to GS files, but we may miss one or a vendor/extlib may
not be as careful
* Improves directory structure - It's more natural to physically
separate what is public from what are GNU social resources
