Item_Model::save(). This makes creating albums similar to editing
them and makes it difficult to create an album poorly. I expect to be
able to remove a lot of code from the photo and movie helper because
it's duplicated here.
In order to do this, I refactored ORM_MPTT::add_to_parent() into
ORM_MPTT::save() so we now add it to the parent when we do save. This
allows us to call save() only once which saves a database call per
add.
The Albums_Controller logic is roughly the same as before.
Haven't updated the tests yet, they're going to fail miserably since
many of them depend on album::create() which is now gone.
now only Albums_Controller::update() supports the pattern. All
form and controller based validation happening when editing an
album has been moved over.
Model based validation means that our REST controllers share the
same validation as web controllers. We'll have consistency
enforced at the model level, which is a Good Thing.
The basic pattern is now:
1) Rules are in the model
2) ORM::validate() (which is called by ORM::save() but you can
call it directly, too) checks the model for all the rules and
throws an ORM_Validation_Exception if there are failures
3) Actions are no longer taken when you call Item_Model::__set().
Instead, they're all queued up and executed when you call
Item_Model::save().
Notes:
- item::validate_xxx() functions are now in Item_Model::
- We still call $form->validate() because the form can have
rules (and forms triggered by events will likely continue to
have rules.
guess how to send the user back. Instead, proxy the originating item
id through the edit forms so that we can tell exactly what page we
were on when we began editing. If we were viewing the item, then
redirect to its new url (in case it changed) to fix ticket #745. But
if we were viewing some other item, then just stay on the current page
to fix#940.
The page_type approach didn't work because you'd have the same
"collection" page_type when doing a context menu edit for an album.
component for that given item. Album hierarchies are represented by
nested slugs. By default, we convert the filename to a slug when you
create an album, photo or movie.
* Order Added => Manual
* Capture Date => Date captured
* Creation Date => Date uploaded
* Updated Date => Date modified
Set the default sort order to "created" which mimics what we had
before, expt that it is not manual.
This required putting a wrapper view around the forms and passing
this view as the parameter to the item_edit_form event. The view
contains a $script variable that the modules can add script to be
included in the form html when rendered as part of the ajax response.
good pattern for allowing modules to add their own hooks to item forms!
1) Album, photo and movie forms now all use edit_item as the group and
we publish item_edit_form and item_edit_form_completed events which
makes it much easier in the module to handle all events. They can
still differentiate based on $item->type if they want to.
2) Added tag::clear_all() and tag::compact() functions which takes the
place of hiwilson's tag::update() function and is now used in
tag_event::item_delete(). This provides a simple API that allows
us to have a lot less event handling code. It's less efficient
than what hiwilson was doing before in that it will delete and
re-add tags, but if that ever turns out to be a performance issue
we can do something about it then.
related events from within the model handling code. The only
exception to this currently is item_created which is challenging
because we have to save the item using ORM_MPTT::add_to_parent()
before the object itself is fully set up. When we get that down to
one call to save() we can publish that event from within the model
also.
Kohana makes this type of transition fairly straightforward in that
all controllers/helpers/etc are still located in the cascading
filesystem without any extra effort, except that I've temporarily
added a hack to force modules/gallery into the module path.
Rename what's left of "core" to be "application" so that it conforms
more closely to the Kohana standard (basically, just
application/config/config.php which is the minimal thing that you need
in the application directory)
There's still considerable work left to be done here.
