* Remove the methods create, update, delete, get_edit_form as there are not used
* Change the return when a comment is created to return the html for the new comment.
This saves a second get request to down load the comment.
user modules.
* Don't delete vars when we delete a module. This makes
reinstalling a module a lot easier.
* Add user::lookup() as the preferred way to load a user, so that
other modules don't delve into the user module (that'd be a
problem when we swap out user modules)
* Notify site admins if Akismet is not fully configured
* Bundle all server variables into the comment so that if/when we
re-check the comment, we are not using the server info from the
site admin's request.
* Update Akismet to grab request context data from the comment
* Pre-seed comment fields if we have a logged in user. Update
comment::create() API to clarify it for this.
* Delete comment::update(), that's a controller function.
* Add url to User_Model
* Add author_name() author_email() and author_url() to
Comment_Model. It'll return the appropriate values depending
on whether the comment was left by a logged in user or a guest.
* Use resetForm() instead of clearForm() when we reload the
comment form after ajax submit, this way we preserve the
pre-seeded values.
* In the user profile page, ignore blank passwords.
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.
and XML for now, we have no driver for those technologies so anything
we implement is not going to be sufficiently tested and therefore
it'll be broken.
Change all comment functions to return JSON and update the JS to deal
purely with JSON. This is our new protocol for talking to the browser
and it should be flexible and portable.
Create comments.html.php. This duplicates comment.html.php, but will
be more efficient for rendering comments since we won't be creating a
new View for every comment we render.
