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.
1) added a mime_type property to the item module(no database change)
2) created a media_rss module
3) moved most of the functionality for the downloading the images to the media_rss module
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()
associates them with the form. This replaces the various _add_validation_rules()
functions in the user and comment modules.
Move user edit form into user helper for consistency with the comment module.
Implement missing _form method in the user controller.
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
* Remove user registration link and popup from the theme; this
shouldn't be done in a popup. Use ajaxform to simplify the way
that we load the login popup.
* Create form.html.php, this is a template for Forge based forms.
* Move user validation rules into User_Model and let forms
populate the rules into their forms as useful.
* Undo r18688's changes regarding the REST code. We should never
accept a null resource, this breaks the REST abstraction.
* Change login and user controllers to use Forge which lets us delete
login.html.php and user.html.php since those now are generated by
the theme-owned form template
