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}
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.
* 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
