and XML for now, we have no driver for those technologies so anything
we implement is not going to be sufficiently tested and therefore
it'll be broken.
Change all comment functions to return JSON and update the JS to deal
purely with JSON. This is our new protocol for talking to the browser
and it should be flexible and portable.
Create comments.html.php. This duplicates comment.html.php, but will
be more efficient for rendering comments since we won't be creating a
new View for every comment we render.
1) Changed the way that we get forms. Now, if you want to get a form
for a REST resource you prefix /form to the resource id. So:
/form/photo/1 : returns a form for editing photo id 1
/form/comments/1 : returns a form for adding a comment to photo id 1
/form/comment/1 : returns a form for editing comment id 1
2) Changed the comment module to have two controllers:
comment: deals with a single comment resource
comments: deal with collections of comments attached to an item
Related stuff:
- Moved the comments js into the theme
- Reworked Comment_Helper for clarity
- Moved form generation code down into Comment_Helper
- Cleaned up routes (eliminating new comment ones added in recent rev)
- Added form() function to all REST controllers
- Changed comment module to use a block instead of an arbitrary helper call from the theme
- Comment controller only returns HTML currently, but returns a 201 Created status
code when a new comment is added, which the Ajax code can catch and act upon.
- Got rid of a lot of extra views in comment module
