There were problems with queries that were executed but didn't seem to
be committed. Trying to patch that up by calling a ROLLBACK on transactions
where the loading of the page isn't stopped after the BEGIN statement's
intended function fails (like with the rememberme cookie in this commit).
This goes for both users and groups, since they share nickname namespace.
If you want to enable nickname changes, just add this to your config:
$config['profile']['changenick'] = true;
This commit should cover all changes in our usual web forms as well as through
the API.
as a bonus we've fixed several FIXME issues for favorite email notification
and updated parts of the codebase for these activities to a more modern style.
We should get another form of URL identifier for interpreting links on notices...
It was hard editing this line in vim even, because of wide, multibyte characters...
Default is now to take still thumbnails of animated GIFs and then
show them as originals in an AttachmentListItem. The still frames
are mostly used with front-ends like qvitter.
I kept getting this on "Quitter España" (which seems to be the name
causing the commotion, as it's part of this sprintf algorithm):
PHP Warning: sprintf(): Argument number must be greater than zero
in /srv/www/vhosts/quitter.es/%/htdocs/lib/action.php on line 1175
I'll just make it quiet for now so it doesn't spam other sites with
UTF-8 characters in their name (if that's what's causing this).
The portion after StartAtomPubNewActivity would never be reached since
Favorite handles that activity through ActivityHandlerPlugin nowadays.
So I cleaned it up and followed a couple of paths, making stuff prettier.
Try this first; use activity:subject->atom:title only as a fallback.
The code that output activity:subject was removed 2013-10-08,
and it it was deprecated for years before that....
Bring common_path() back into harmony with common_local_url(),
which started doing this 2013-03-25.
Shouldn't need to spread "StatusNet::isHTTPS()" logic all over
wherever common_path() is called; just DTRT automatically instead.
Mainly because the atom:link element requires a "web resource" but we
wish to supply a URI which might not be HTTP. We'll leave the old
atom:link element however since it's in the OStatus 1.0 Draft2 docs
and nothing newer has been released yet.
I think the migration from core to plugin is done now for DMs.
This is required since we support the Twitter-based API by default,
which is implemented in many of the mobile clients etc. But you can
disable the DirectMessage for your instance of you wish, of course.
In the future, use events for formatting microapp notices, more specifically
through the plugin's function "showNoticeContent" or similar, which is called
from MicroAppPlugin, which is extended from ActivityHandlerPlugin.

WARNING: Some plugins attempt to get a property 'group' from (basicly) a Menu
class which does NOT have such property. This badly needs fixing.

Since we store 'favorite' verbs as notices now too, they caused a lot of
"null" notices that might not be interesting before we handle them better
in the UIs.
Getting rid of NoticeListItemAdapter, putting more into ActivityHandlerPlugin
and relying on plugins to handle rendering code of the content. This gives us
a lot more structure and consistency in notice structure and allows activity
plugins to stop rendering certain kinds of notices more easily.
There should also be a property for an ActivityHandlerPlugin class to avoid
rendering notices in the ordinary stream, so we don't have to overload stuff.
Lost dependency of OStatus plugin for lib/microappplugin.php, whoo!
also noting which plugins should be upgraded to new saveActivity support.
Favorite plugin won't work with the new system just yet, it doesn't have
the necessary functions to extract activity objects, but that's coming
in the next (few) commits.
The code is now more event-driven when it comes to rendering notices
and their related HTML elements, since we can't have direct calls from
core to a plugin.
lib/activitymover.php has a function to move a Favorite activity which
will not happen now. The move must be pluginified and performed as an
event which plugins can catch on to.
Now we have to fix any code in the core which directly uses the Fave class
or any other favorite stuff, since it is pluginised and thus might not be
available on some installations.
No validation has been attempted yet. Lots of changes left. This
is visibly not (very) different from the previous CSS layout. But
some simplifications have been made.
Might cause issues with local changes to themes and CSS. Also maybe
javascript which depends on certain legacy microformats elements.
The move to microformats2 is motivated by the announcement that all
microformats should be migrated to version 2, as of 2014-06-20 at:
http://microformats.org/2014/06/20/microformats-org-turns-9-upgrade-to-microformats2
IE versions older than 8 (which these were for) should no longer
be used anyway, since they are filled with security holes and not
even Microsoft recommends or supports their use anymore.
This reverts commit 38f5038cf0.
Random problems with, I assume, Chromium users. Ranted:
"FUCK YOU CHROMIUM WITH VARYING FUNCTIONALITY AND CRAPPY
INTEROPERABILITY THE NEW FUCKING INTERNET EXPLORER"
This will be back in the future with a vengeance (patches).
Some changes should be implied as larger with an incrementing alpha
release number. Not all commits will increase this of course, but it
will give an indication on which major reworks, features or layout
changes have been made for the version being used on an instance.
Instead of setting some weird $config['plugins']['disable-Blah'] yourself.
The class name, StatusNet, will probably change in the future to GNU social.
No global function added, as it exists for addPlugin().
We don't run a service similar to update.status.net yet. Maybe we should,
but that's for the future to decide. Currently I view it as a callback
that we want to avoid.
noembed.com acts as a proxy for oEmbed requests, but that also means they
get all the links we post on our instances, given that they're used as a
default endpoint.
htmLawed cleans stuff out properly, but there's no very good way right
now to show text/html attachments, since everything gets jumbled up with
our own CSS etc. Best would be an iframe or just a new tab or so.
We're now capable of doing image rotation for thumbnails based on
EXIF orientation data. Also, thumbnails are tracked by filenames and
thus we can delete them from storage when we feel like it.
Conversation trees works pretty bad with the current layout, javascript
etc. So it's best if we separate it and work on it as a side-project. The
oldschool settings are currently being deprecated (or broken out like this).
I'll wait with removing User preferences for oldschool conversation tree,
since that might be reusable data. But I guess it will go in the near future.
This will simplify actions for future development and maintenance
since we can automate much more (such as auto-running show[Ajax|Page])
and handle errors of various kinds. Essentially the same kind of
improvements as Managed_DataObject gives us.
notice.id will give us even really old posts, which were
recently imported. For example if a remote instance had
problems and just managed to post here. Another solution
would be to have a 'notice.imported' field.
It seems it was only used to get a _single_ file attachment from
the posted notice, with no possibility to get multiple attachments.
If one fetches metadata about attachments for the notice, we have
enough data there to fulfill anyone's fetching dreams.
This makes it easier to disable, but remember that you must then
either enable and maintain queue daemons or disable queueing (and
handle whatever remaining queue items are stored in the database)!
We can't say we officially support PostgreSQL, unfortunately. There
are too many database calls with MySQL specific syntax. This would be
desirable for a 2.0 release, but too much work while maintaining 1.x.
The main difficulty is that we're using PEAR::DB which is aging. If
that's exchanged, maybe we could use PDO or something.

Also, tooltip text on time representation for humans has been improved.
Unfortunately no standardised representation (like "RFC850") had 4-digit years.
The File object now stores width and height of files that can
supply this kind of information. Formats which we can not read
natively in PHP do not currently benefit from this. However an
event hook will be introduced later.
The CreateFileImageThumbnail event is renamed to:
CreateFileImageThumbnailSource to clarify that the hooks should not
generate their own thumbnails but only the source image. Also it now
accepts File objects, not MediaFile objects.
The thumbnail generation is documented in the source code. For
developers, call 'getThumbnail' on a File object and hope for the best.
Default thumbnail sizes have increased to be more appealing.
Avoiding collisions with date (shorter than before) and 4 character
random alphanumeric string. I bet someone could mass-upload files
and generate all combinations of aaaa-zzzz during the course of a
day, but then maybe that user should be disabled anyway :)
(filling the collision space will cause a never-ending loop).
The exception thrown from MediaFile will be caught and simply result in
no thumbnail at all right now. In the future we might use a catch-all
and have a "cannot generate preview"-icon or something.
VideoThumbnails requires php5-ffmpeg and php5-gd.
spl_autoload_register now calls the GNUsocial_class_autoload function
instead of us replacing the magic __autoload($cls). This means we can
queue up other autoload functions, such as the one now used for extlib
functions which exist directly in the 'extlib/' folder or have proper
namespacing (which our new Markdown class does).
At the same time we remove the "filecommand" setting, since we will
likely not have use of it thanks to PECL fileinfo.
Also the "supported" list for attachment mime types has changed
format, so we can keep track of at least some known file extensions.
Because if you have your own local/closed community, likely you
don't want random newcomers that drop in, spam and leave dead
accounts.
The Admin can of course always override this by setting the config
"inviteonly" to false either in the config.php or on the website.
Added the following FIXME:
How should a Twitter user get their Inbox filled with foreign tweets?
Every imported Twitter user has a profile in the Profile table, so we
could setup a Subscription entry for each of those, meaning they get
collected in the InboxNoticeStream... But this would mean a lot of
unnecessary entries and listings that generally just point to the
locked down Twitter service.
Let's figure out a good relation so we can connect any profile to any
imported foreign notice, so it shows up in the "all" feed.
Also cleaned up and made typing stricter for the stream, so only
profiles can be submitted. This reasonably also means we can create
"inbox" or "all" streams for foreign profiles as well using the same
stream handler (but of course only for messages we already know about).
To avoid looking up posts for a long time in a large notice database,
the lookback period for the inbox is no longer than the profile creation
date. (this matches the behaviour of Inbox)
Inbox class can probably be removed now.
Many of the microapps are pretty javascript dependant, but at least
we should allow users to get to the new notice field without allowing
javascript to run in the browser. :)
My reasoning: Minifying makes third party review harder. A visitor on
a GNU social site should have no problem reading, understanding and
modifying javascripts for their own liking. A minified script is much
more difficult to use, reuse, modify and share.
Free software is not minified.
Generally the Cron plugin will run if there's still execution time for
1 second since starting the Action processing. If you want to change
this (such as disabling, 0 seconds, or maybe running bigger chunks,
for like 4 seconds) you can do this, where 'n' is time in seconds.
addPlugin('Cron', array('secs_per_action', n));
Add 'rel_to_pageload'=>false to the array if you want to run the queue
for a certain amount of seconds _despite_ maybe already having run that
long in the previous parts of Action processing.
Perhaps you want to run the cron script remotely, using a machine capable
of background processing (or locally, to avoid running daemon processes),
simply do an HTTP GET request to the route /main/cron of your GNU social.
Setting secs_per_action to 0 in the plugin config will imply that you run
all your queue handling by calling /main/cron (which runs as long as it can).
/main/cron will output "0" if it has finished processing, "1" if it should
be called again to complete processing (because it ran out of time due to
PHP's max_execution_time INI setting).
The Cron plugin also runs events as close to hourly, daily and weekly
as you get, based on the opportunistic method of running whenever a user
visits the site. This means of course that the cron events should be as
fast as possible, not only to avoid delaying page load for users but
also to minimize the risk of running into PHP's max_execution_time. One
suggestion is to only use the events to add new queue items for later processing.
These events are called CronHourly, CronDaily, CronWeekly - however there
is no guarantee that all events will execute, so some kind of failsafe,
transaction-ish method must be implemented in the future.
To make the StatusNet::addPlugin() accept only arrays,
the lib/default.php had to be changed because all plugins
had 'null' as default value instead of an array.
