As a hack this removes the mysql_timestamp bit from the field settings on reply.modified so that our value actually gets saved. This *should* work ok as long as system timezone is set correctly, which we now set to UTC to match when connecting.
Workaround for deleted profiles still appearing in cached subscriptions/subscribers lists: if we couldn't fetch them, don't include them in the ArrayWrapper.
ArrayWrapper doesn't deal well with null entries, which aren't meant to happen in how it works. This code has recently changed from dying directly with a PHP fatal error in that case to throwing an exception, which allows tracking down the caller.
It looks like there might be some cases where profiles and their matching subscriptions get deleted, but the subscription entries don't get properly cleared from cache... that still bears further investigation. The regular code path looks ok; calls Subscription::cancel() from code called in Profile::delete(); but if they're batch-deleted instead of one row at a time, that could fail to trigger.
$config['site']['logperf'] = true; // to record & dump total hits of each type and the runtime to syslog
$config['site']['logperf_detail'] = true; // very verbose -- dump the individual cache keys and queries as they get used (may contain private info in some queries)
Seeing 180 cache gets on a timeline page seems not unusual currently; since these run in serial, even relatively small roundtrip times can add up heavily.
We should consider ways to reduce the number of round trips, such as more frequently storing compound objects or the output of processing in memcached.
Doing parallel multi-key lookups could also help by collapsing round-trip times, but might not be easy to fit into SN's object model. (For things like streams this should actually work pretty well -- grab the list, then when it's returned go grab all the individual items in parallel and return the list)
* dropped unnecessary join on notice table
* made the function actually static, since it makes no sense as an instance variable. The only caller (in AttachmentList) is updated.
MySQL stores TIMESTAMP columns as UTC, but with a local time interface. (SRSLY?!) DATETIME columns are always bare and assumed to be local time, but we keep only UTC in them.
Forcing the session time_zone to UTC means we won't have to worry as much about what we're sending/receiving in there.
Also will let us remove the hack in master commit a7abb2323e for session tweaks
Had to tweak statusnet.ini to remove the DB_DATAOBJECT_MYSQLTIMESTAMP bitfield constant on session.modified; while it sounds like a useful and legit setting, it actually just means that DB_DataObject silently fails to pass through any attempts to explicitly set the value. As a result, MySQL does its default behavior which is to insert the current *LOCAL* time, which is useless.
This was leading to early GC west of GMT, or late GC east of it. Early GC could at worst destroy all live sessions (whoever's session *triggered* GC is fine, as the session then gets saved right back.)
Previously, if someone you subscribe to repeats a notice by someone you've blocked, you got the message and had to just roll your eyes.
Now blocks are checked against both the current notice's posting profile, and the poster of the original if it's a repeat.
It seems to have actually been saving correctly, but the update of the colors on the form success page wasn't working properly.
When a design object is pulled out of the database, the numeric fields are read in as strings, so black comes back as "0".
But, when we populate the new object and then stick it live, we've populated it with actual integers; with memcache on these might live for a while in the cache...
The fallback code in Design::toWebColor() did a check ($color == null) which would be false for the string "0", but counts as true for the *integer* 0.
Thus, the display code would initially interpret the correctly-saved black color as "use default".
Changing the check to === against null and "" empty string avoids the false positive on integers, and lets us see our nice black text immediately after save.
* adds Right::CREATEGROUP
* logic in Profile::hasRight() checks for silencing
* NewgroupAction checks for the permission before letting you see or process the form in the UI
* User_group::register() logic does a low-level check on the specified initial group admin, and rejects creation if that user doesn't have the right; guaranteeing that API methods etc will also have this restriction applied sensibly.
