Superfeedr (sp.?) posts entries without author information. We can
assume that this is intended to be by the original author.
Re-structured the checks for entries that come in by PuSH so they can
either have no author or an empty author, but not a different author.
Base problem is that our caching-on-insert interferes with relying on column default values; the cached object is missing those fields, so they appear to be empty (null) when the object is retrieved from cache.
Now explicitly setting them when inserting subscriptions, and cleaned up some code that had alternate code paths.
May also have made auto-subscription work for remote OStatus subscribers, but can't test until magic sigs are working again.
Under MySQL, new tables will be created as InnoDB with UTF-8 (utf8/utf8_bin) same as core tables.
Existing plugin tables will have table engine and default charset/collation updated, and string columns will have charset updated, at checkschema time.
Switched from 'DESCRIBE' to INFORMATION_SCHEMA for pulling column information in order to get charset. A second hit to INFORMATION_SCHEMA is also needed to get table properties.
Indices were only being created at table creation time, which ain't so hot. Now also adding/dropping indices when they change.
Fixed up some schema defs in OStatus plugin that were a bit flaky, causing extra alter tables to be run.
TODO: Generalize this infrastructure a bit more up to base schema & pg schema classes.
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.
Also stripping id from foreign HTML messages (could interfere with UI) and disabled failing attachment popup for a.attachment links that don't have a proper id, so you can click through instead of getting an error.
Issues:
* any other links aren't marked and saved
* inconsistent behavior between local and remote attachments (local displays in lightbox, remote doesn't)
* if the enclosure'd object isn't referenced in the content, you won't be offered a link to it in our UI
* 'testing' of gitorious.org:statusnet/mainline:
OStatus: pull best-sized avatar image (96x96 if found, otherwise largest, otherwise if none labeled takes the first)
