approach.
- Rearrange Simple_Uploader_Controller::add_photo() to validate
the form early in the process, and switch to using model based
validation.
- Move thumbnail generation into gallery_event::item_created() so
that it's decoupled from the model.
- Delete photo::create() and move all of its logic into
Item_Model::save().
- Add Item_Model::$data_file to track the data file associated
with new movies and photos.
- Do some cleanup on the validation callbacks -- it turns out the
2nd argument is the field name not the value.
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.
In the graphics_rules table height and width set the maximum height and width
values and should be equal. Initially, the height on the resize target rule was
less than the height, which artificially constrained images in portrait mode.

clauses and deletes all the entries in the table unless an array of id's are
passed as the parameter. This fix used the Database_builder to specify any where
conditions. Thanks psvo for find the first one. :-)
choosing a random image is essentially a function on an item collection.
Also implemented a bunch of other query filters for item collections.
Created item::random_query() as a way of generating a reasonable
starting point for random queries.
