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.
1) Deleted in-place-editing. We'll be replacing this with a real edit
system that groups settings together and is more coherent.
2) Tweaked the way that dialog boxes work to get the ajax stuff working
again. It's imperfect and does not work properly for uploading images.
This is going to get redone also, but this is a good resting point.
3) Created edit forms for albums and photos. Moved _update and _create out
of Items_Controller and into the individual subclasses.
4) Created access::required which is a shorthand for:
if (!access::can(...)) {
access::forbidden();
}
5) Added validation rules to Items_Model
6) Converted login to use the regular modal dialog approach in the theme.
the various modules. In the process, rename xxx_menu::site_navigation() to just
xxx_menu::site(). And add xxx_menu::admin().
The menus are the same as before, but I changed the HTML to be
consistent with the way that we do it in the regular site, and this
broke the superfish styles. I don't know how to fix this.. help me
Chad!
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!
chainable factory interface and retrieve them by ids. Streamlined the
HTML creation code a little bit in the process, moved the basic menu
functionality into Theme_View and created the option to have different
menus other than site_navigation().
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.
$theme->block_type() so that the themer has a consistent interface.
Also added a bunch more callbacks and normalized the names so that the
module author has plenty of options for where stuff gets put on the
page. Especially renamed album/photo/sidebar to be album_blocks()
photo_blocks() and sidebar_blocks() to make it clear that those are
going to be larger content sections and not just basic insertion
points.
Used __call() to collapse all functions in the theme, which
incidentally makes it trivially easy to add a new insertion point.
