If set up, this hub will be used to subscribe to feeds that don't specify a hub of their own.
Assumes that the fallback hub will, in fact, handle polling and updates for any feed we throw at it!
Authentication may be specified for the fallback hub.
Example:
$config['feedsub']['fallback_hub'] = 'https://superfeedr.com/hubbub';
$config['feedsub']['hub_user'] = 'abcd';
$config['feedsub']['hub_pass'] = 'ckcmdkmckdmkcdk';
Also:
* Fix for WordPress-RSS-via-Superfeedr-Atom; if we have <author> info but no ID from a native ActivityStreams actor, don't freak out in the low-level processing code that checks for identity matches.
* enhanced messages for low-level FeedSub exceptions if they make it to outside display
SubMirror: redid add-mirror frontend to accept a feed URL, then pass that on to OStatus, instead of pulling from your subscriptions.
Profile: tweaked subscriberCount() so it doesn't subtract 1 for foreign profiles who aren't subscribed to themselves; instead excludes the self-subscription in the count query.
Memcached_DataObject: tweak to avoid extra error spew in the DB error raising
Work in progress: tweaking feedsub garbage collection so we can count other uses
We do the OStatus queue first, so if we're sending a notice to the
same server twice (e.g., with OMB), our richer and more featureful
notice comes in first.
* drop OStatusPlugin::localProfileFromUrl(), we can just look up on user.uri
* clean up a few edge cases that returned null through Ostatus_profile::ensure* code paths, now throws clear exception when we can't find a feed from the given profile url
* add some doc comments on the ensure* methods
Some stray shadow entries were ending up getting created, which would steal group posts from remote users.
Run plugins/OStatus/scripts/fixup-shadow.php for each site to remove any existing ones.
OStatus plugin overrides these to allow using webfinger (user@example.com), profile URL (http://example.com/user) and bare profile URL (example.com/user) as arguments.
Fixes inconsistent application of webfinger @-mentions in OStatus; once a local profile is set up the local name would often match first and ended up overriding in output.
- add event hooks to profile update pings
- send Salmon pings with custom update-profile event to OStatus subscribees and groups (subscribers will see it on your next post)
- fix OStatus queues with overlong transport names, should work on DB queues now
- Ostatus_profile::notifyActivity() and ::notifyDeferred() now can take XML, Notice, or Activity for convenience
- added rel="ostatus:attention" links for group delivery
- added events for plugins to override group profile/permalink pages
- pulled Notice::saveGroups up to save-time so we can override;
it's relatively cheap and gives us a clean list of target
groups for distrib time even with customized delivery.
- fixed notice::getGroups to return group objects as expected
- added some doc on new parameters to Notice::saveNew
- 'groups' list of group IDs to push to in place of parsing
- messages that come in via PuSH and contain local group targets
are delivered to local group members
- messages that come in via PuSH and contain remote group targets
are delivered to local members of the remote group
Todo:
- handle group posts that only come through Salmon
- handle conflicts in case something comes in both through Salmon and PuSH
- better source verification
- need a cleaner interface to look up groups by URI
- need a way to handle remote groups with conflicting names
- actually udpate feedsub.last_update when we get a new PuSH update in
- move incoming PuSH processing to a queue handler to minimize time spent before POST return, as recommended by PuSH spec. When queues are disabled this'll still be handled immediately.
Added support for favoring and disfavoring in OStatusPlugin.
Needed to represent the Notice as an activity:object, so added
some code for that in lib/activity.php.
Also, made some small changes to OStatusPlugin so it handled
having a non-default argument $object correctly.
* HMAC now calculated correctly - confirmed interop with Google's public hub
* Can optionally use an external PuSH hub, set URL in $config['ostatus']['hub']
(may have issues in replication environment, and will ping the hub for every
update rather than just those with subscribers) Internal hub will still function
when this is set, but won't be advertised. Warning: setting this, then turning
it off later will break subscriptions as that hub will no longer receive pings.
* detection of group feeds is currently a nasty hack based on presence of '/groups/' in URL -- should use some property on the feed?
* listing for the remote group is kinda cruddy; needs to be named more cleanly
* still need to establish per-author profiles (easier once we have the updated Atom code in)
* group delivery probably not right yet
* saving of group messages still triggering some weird behavior
Added support for since_id and max_id on group timeline feeds as a free extra. Enjoy!
* Treat linkless feed posts as status updates; drop the "New post:" prefix and quotes on them.
* Use stable user IDs for atom/rss2 feed links instead of unstable nicknames
* Pull Atom feed preferentially when subscribing -- can now put the remote user's profile page straight into the feed subscription form and get to the right place.
* Clean up naming for push endpoints
* renamed FeedSub plugin to OStatus
* now setting avatar on subscriptions
* general fixes for subscription
* integrated PuSH hub to handle only user timelines on canonical ID url; sends updates directly
* set $config['feedsub']['nohub'] = true to test w/ foreign feeds that don't have hubs (won't actually receive updates though)
* a few bits of code documentation
* HMAC support for verified distributions (safest if sub setup is on HTTPS)
And a couple core changes:
* minimizing HTML output for exceptions in API requests to aid in debugging
* fix for rel=self link in apitimelineuser when id given
This does not not yet include any of the individual subscription management (Salmon notifications for sub/unsub, etc) nor a nice UI for user subscriptions.
Needs some further cleanup to treat posts as status updates instead of link references.
