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.
2) Defines a routining pattern for module administration controllers. URI's of the form admin/module/method/parameters gets remapped into module_admin/method/parameters. This will result in the lookup of the the controller Module_Admin_Controller
* HTTP header setting in comment module now going through REST helper API.
* Fixed items controller test.
* Fixed user installer test.
* Fixed _create() handling in the REST controller.
* Fixed routing for edit and add forms.
* Added some tests for the REST controller.
* Set svn:eol-style to LF on a bunch of files.
* Added preamble to MY_Forge.php.
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.
doesn't refer to a fixed resource or collection of resources.
Fix some minor bugs in the code so that we can actually generate a
feed. It looks pretty cool! Improved pagination links, but didn't actually test them.
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}
GET /controller -> controller::_index()
POST /controller -> controller::_create()
GET /controller/id -> controller::_show()
PUT /controller/id -> controller::_update()
DELETE /controller/id -> controller::_delete()
GET /form/edit/controller/resource_id -> controller::_form()
GET /form/add/controller/data -> controller::_form()
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
_put(), _delete().
This should make it more obvious that these are not your typical
routes, simplifies overall routing by removing a rule and removes the
possibility of accidentally leaking information if we route to one of
them by accident.
controllers. Any controller that wants to act RESTful can extend this
class and implement get/post/put/delete.
Tweak default routes to disallow direct access to the REST controller
and direct access to any REST methods.
Create Item_Controller as a common superclass for Album_Controller and
Photo_Controller. Change routes to route requests to Item_Controller
for dispatching, which in turn will generate get/post/put/delete
requests to the controlller so that each controller has a RESTful
surface.
Change in_place editing to take advantage of this.
