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.
o Add model_cache::get() which caches models avoiding duplicate lookups
o Stop using ORM relationships for Item_Model::owner so that we can use caching
o For Item_Model::xxx_edit fields, don't make them editable for guests
o Other minor stuff.
These optimizations reduce the number of queries for a 9-photos page from ~200
to ~45. Still way too many!
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.
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.
