Sometimes we just want to accept the user's wrong, but when it comes
to remote APIs etc. we probably want to let the client know it has
done something already (in this case multiple identical subscription
requests - which might indicate to it that it should refresh the sub
lists or something).
For example the public timeline would show notices from a user with
private_stream configured. (previously it would only hide _new_ notices
by this user as they would be the only ones with notice scoping set).
For some reason the "retweeted to me" part of the Twitter API was removed
when Evan made some inbox changes back in the StatusNet days. We might
recover this functionality, but not yet. The proper function calls are
however fixed in this commit.
Conversation trees works pretty bad with the current layout, javascript
etc. So it's best if we separate it and work on it as a side-project. The
oldschool settings are currently being deprecated (or broken out like this).
I'll wait with removing User preferences for oldschool conversation tree,
since that might be reusable data. But I guess it will go in the near future.
Added the following FIXME:
How should a Twitter user get their Inbox filled with foreign tweets?
Every imported Twitter user has a profile in the Profile table, so we
could setup a Subscription entry for each of those, meaning they get
collected in the InboxNoticeStream... But this would mean a lot of
unnecessary entries and listings that generally just point to the
locked down Twitter service.
Let's figure out a good relation so we can connect any profile to any
imported foreign notice, so it shows up in the "all" feed.
_flow_ reported on IRC that install.php had stopped working. This was
because default plugins had been put into two separate lists, and the
list with AuthCrypt was never loaded when performing an installation.
Core plugins cannot be disabled.
I also removed the Memcache autodetection thing since it should be
solved in a more elegant manner.
New plugins:
* LRDD
LRDD implements client-side RFC6415 and RFC7033 resource descriptor
discovery procedures. I.e. LRDD, host-meta and WebFinger stuff.
OStatus and OpenID now depend on the LRDD plugin (XML_XRD).
* WebFinger
This plugin implements the server-side of RFC6415 and RFC7033. Note:
WebFinger technically doesn't handle XRD, but we serve both that and
JRD (JSON Resource Descriptor), depending on Accept header and one
ugly hack to check for old StatusNet installations.
WebFinger depends on LRDD.
We might make this even prettier by using Net_WebFinger, but it is not
currently RFC7033 compliant (no /.well-known/webfinger resource GETs).
Disabling the WebFinger plugin would effectively render your site non-
federated (which might be desired on a private site).
Disabling the LRDD plugin would make your site unable to do modern web
URI lookups (making life just a little bit harder).
getUser calls are much more strict, and one place where this was found was
in the (un)subscribe start/end event handlers, which resulted in making the
Subscription class a bit stricter, regarding ::start and ::cancel at least.
Several minor fixes in many files were made due to this.
This does NOT touch the Foreign_link function, which should also have a more
strict getUser call. That is a future project.
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.
The parent class for our database objects, Managed_DataObject, has a
dynamically assigned class in staticGet which objects get put into,
leaving us with less code to do the same thing.
We will probably have to move away from the DB_DataObject 'staticGet'
call as it is nowadays deprecated.
It may be a bad experience for new users to immediately when trying
out the service be asked for their geographical position. Instead,
let them opt-in for this behaviour.
