and verifying user permissions, but there are several above-the-bar
changes:
1) Server add is now only available to admins. This is a hard
requirement because we have to limit server access (eg:
server_add::children) to a user subset and the current permission
model doesn't include that. Easiest fix is to restrict to admins.
Got rid of the server_add permission.
2) We now know check permissions at every level, which means in
controllers AND in helpers. This "belt and suspenders" approach will
give us defense in depth in case we overlook it in one area.
3) We now do CSRF checking in every controller method that changes the
code, in addition to the Forge auto-check. Again, defense in depth
and it makes scanning the code for security much simpler.
4) Moved Simple_Uploader_Controller::convert_filename_to_title to
item:convert_filename_to_title
5) Fixed a bug in sending notification emails.
6) Fixed the Organize code to verify that you only have access to your
own tasks. In general, added permission checks to organize which had
pretty much no validation code.
I did my best to verify every feature that I touched.
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.
