Old API: $obj->original("field_name")
New API: $obj->original()->field_name
This allows us to revert the varous xxx_updated events back to passing
an original ORM as well as the the updated one. This makes for a
cleaner event API.
Old API: comment_updated($comment) { $comment->original("field_name") }
Old API: comment_updated($old, $new) { $old->field_name }
1) The item_updated event no longer takes the old and new items.
Instead we overload ORM to track the original data and make
that available via the item. This will allow us to move event
publishing down into the API methods which in turn will give us
more stability since we won't require each controller to remember
to do it.
2) ORM class now tracks the original values. It doesn't track
the original relationships (no need for that, yet)
3) Added new events:
item_deleted
group_deleted
user_deleted
Add xxx_installer::upgrade($version) method so that upgrade stanzas
are separate from install stanzas. In the old code, to do an upgrade
meant that you had to re-evolve everything from the initial install
because we'd step through each version's changes. But what we really
want is for the initial install to start off in the perfect initial
state, and the upgrades to do the work behind the scenes. So now the
install() function gets things set up properly the first time, and the
upgrade() function does any work to catch you up to the latest code.
See gallery_installer.php for a good example.
and verifying user permissions, but there are several above-the-bar
changes:
1) Server add is now only available to admins. This is a hard
requirement because we have to limit server access (eg:
server_add::children) to a user subset and the current permission
model doesn't include that. Easiest fix is to restrict to admins.
Got rid of the server_add permission.
2) We now know check permissions at every level, which means in
controllers AND in helpers. This "belt and suspenders" approach will
give us defense in depth in case we overlook it in one area.
3) We now do CSRF checking in every controller method that changes the
code, in addition to the Forge auto-check. Again, defense in depth
and it makes scanning the code for security much simpler.
4) Moved Simple_Uploader_Controller::convert_filename_to_title to
item:convert_filename_to_title
5) Fixed a bug in sending notification emails.
6) Fixed the Organize code to verify that you only have access to your
own tasks. In general, added permission checks to organize which had
pretty much no validation code.
I did my best to verify every feature that I touched.
Install: <module>_installer::install() is called, any necessary tables
are created.
Activate: <module>_installer::activate() is called. Module
controllers are routable, helpers are accessible, etc. The module is
in use.
Deactivate: <module>_installer::deactivate() is called. Module code
is not accessible or routable. Module is *not* in use, but its tables
are still around.
Uninstall: <module>_installer::uninstall() is called. Module is
completely removed from the database.
Admin > Modules will install and activate modules, but will only
deactivate (will NOT uninstall modules).
batch::start() before starting a series of events, and batch::stop()
when you're done.
In batch mode, the notification module will store up pending
notifications. When the batch job is complete, it'll send a single
digested email to each user for all of her notifications.
Updated the scaffold and local_import to use this. Haven't modified
SimpleUploader yet.
* Allow for the "movie" type in all of our text
* Try to follow the pattern of mainly only passing ORM objects
to the view and let it generate its own text (this becomes
even more important when 3rd parties want to customize notification
messages)
* Rename _send_message to be _notify_subscribers to be more acccurate
and have it explicitly take a subject in the API
* Use Item_Model::url() in the views instead of hand crafting URLs
* Reformat HTML in views
* Use $comment->author_xxx() functions instead of replicating that code
* Fix several places where we were encoding data by doing ucfirst($item->type)
with conditionals where we form the text properly. We should *never*
be showing data types to the end user! This is not localizable!
Note that this probably breaks the existing batch processing code. I
am going to redo that in a subsequent pass.
set on a album. The notifications are implicitly active for all child
elements.
It now sends emails if the email address of the subscribed user has
been set. No email, no attempt to send the notification.
Still to do, come up with better messages as the current ones are just
place holders.
