OLD:
$form->submit("Foo") --> <input type="submit" value="Foo">
New:
$form->submit("foo_button")->("Foo") --> <input type="submit" name="foo_button" value="Foo">
Mostly we don't care what the button is so we leave the name blank.
user modules.
* Don't delete vars when we delete a module. This makes
reinstalling a module a lot easier.
* Add user::lookup() as the preferred way to load a user, so that
other modules don't delve into the user module (that'd be a
problem when we swap out user modules)
* Notify site admins if Akismet is not fully configured
* Bundle all server variables into the comment so that if/when we
re-check the comment, we are not using the server info from the
site admin's request.
* Update Akismet to grab request context data from the comment
* Pre-seed comment fields if we have a logged in user. Update
comment::create() API to clarify it for this.
* Delete comment::update(), that's a controller function.
* Add url to User_Model
* Add author_name() author_email() and author_url() to
Comment_Model. It'll return the appropriate values depending
on whether the comment was left by a logged in user or a guest.
* Use resetForm() instead of clearForm() when we reload the
comment form after ajax submit, this way we preserve the
pre-seeded values.
* In the user profile page, ignore blank passwords.
- And refactor printf to our string interpolation / pluralization syntax
- Also, a slight change to the translations_incomings table, using binary(16) instead of char(32) as message key.
1) they now have their own matching severity constants
2) they both have convenience functions success(), info(), warning() and error()
3) they both have severity_class()
communicate. Almost all controllers now use JSON to speak to the
theme when we're dealing with form processing. This means tht we only
send the form back and forth, but we use a JSON protocol to tell the
browser success/error status as well as the location of any newly
created resources, or where the browser should redirect the user.
Lots of small changes:
1) Admin -> Edit Profile is gone. Instead I fixed the "Modify Profile" link
in the top right corner to be a modal dialog
2) We use json_encode everywhere. No more Atom/XML for now. We can bring those
back later, though. For now there's a lot of code duplication but that'll be
easy to clean up.
3) REST_Controller is no longer abstract. All methods its subclasses should create
throw exceptions, which means that subclasses don't have to implement stubs for
those methods.
4) New pattern: helper method get_add_form calls take an Item_Model,
not an id since we have to load the Item_Model in the controller
anyway to check permissions.
5) User/Groups REST resources are separate from User/Group in the site
admin. They do different things, we should avoid confusing overlap.
their results, as opposed to having them return their view back
upstream. This is a little more code in every controller, but it's
much less magical and more consistent.
Look up the active_theme and active_admin_theme inside the view
itself, no need to do that in the controllers. This makes view
initialization easier in the controllers.
1) Deleted in-place-editing. We'll be replacing this with a real edit
system that groups settings together and is more coherent.
2) Tweaked the way that dialog boxes work to get the ajax stuff working
again. It's imperfect and does not work properly for uploading images.
This is going to get redone also, but this is a good resting point.
3) Created edit forms for albums and photos. Moved _update and _create out
of Items_Controller and into the individual subclasses.
4) Created access::required which is a shorthand for:
if (!access::can(...)) {
access::forbidden();
}
5) Added validation rules to Items_Model
6) Converted login to use the regular modal dialog approach in the theme.
1) They must all start with "admin_". This pattern is not directly
routable.
2) Their urls must be /admin/xxx.
3) The Admin_Controller will take the xxx and look for Admin_Xxx_Controller
and will delegate to that admin controller, after doing security checks.
Moved the users and dashboard views into individual modules for now.
convention. To respond to the "photo_created" event in the gmaps
module, you create modules/gmaps/helpers/gmaps_event.php containing
class gmaps_event which has function photo_created.
Renamed all events from gallery.foo.bar to foo_bar
Updated tag module to use new convention.
1) We now use __call() in REST_Controller to handle any requests to a controller
that were not already handled. In the case of RESTful controllers, this should
be the only entry point (although they're free to break the model and add other
ones.. nothing stops them).
This means that we can remove all the catch-all routes in
routes.php which greatly simplifies it.
2) Move request_method() and output_format() out of REST_Controller and into the REST
helper in core/helpers/rest.php
3) Experiment with letting the various subclasses check the output_format and deal with
it themselves. This simplifies the API, but it might be a bad idea in that it might
push too much work to the individual controllers. It's a balancing act, time will tell,
I'm willing to change it back later.
GET /form/edit/{controller}/{resource_id} -> controller::_form_edit($resource)
GET /form/add/{controller}/{parameters} -> controller::_form_add($parameters)
* Updated comment, user and core modules to reflect the API changes
* Cleaned up routing and handling of requests to /{controller}
