- added module::get_obsolete_modules_message function
- put message on admin/dashboard
- put message on admin/modules
- put message on upgrader
- updated unit test golden file xss_data
1) Controller::$input is gone -- use Input::instance() now
2) Handle new 'database.<default>.connection.params' parameter
3) Handle new 'cache.<default>.prefix' parameter
* Extend block_manager to handle sidebar blocks. get_available has become get_available_admin_blocks, get_list becomes get_admin_list.
* Create new functions get_available_site_blocks which will look for gallery_block get_available_site_blocks.
* Refactor sidebar_blocks into a separate function and then call block_manager::get_html(site.sidebar). Convert image_block to use block management instead of theme::sidebar_blocks
* Change the block_manager api so that the theme is passed into the get method. convert info to the new sidebar block approach
* Convert the user module to use the new sidebar block structure. remove the installers for info and image_block modules.
* Convert tag and rss modules to the new sidebar framework. reset the version number to 1 for info and image_block modules.
* Change the get_html method to ignore empty blocks and change the individual handlers to return an empty string if no block is generated
* Add a warning message if no sidebar blocks are active and provide a link to the admin page that configures the sidebar.
and verifying user permissions, but there are several above-the-bar
changes:
1) Server add is now only available to admins. This is a hard
requirement because we have to limit server access (eg:
server_add::children) to a user subset and the current permission
model doesn't include that. Easiest fix is to restrict to admins.
Got rid of the server_add permission.
2) We now know check permissions at every level, which means in
controllers AND in helpers. This "belt and suspenders" approach will
give us defense in depth in case we overlook it in one area.
3) We now do CSRF checking in every controller method that changes the
code, in addition to the Forge auto-check. Again, defense in depth
and it makes scanning the code for security much simpler.
4) Moved Simple_Uploader_Controller::convert_filename_to_title to
item:convert_filename_to_title
5) Fixed a bug in sending notification emails.
6) Fixed the Organize code to verify that you only have access to your
own tasks. In general, added permission checks to organize which had
pretty much no validation code.
I did my best to verify every feature that I touched.
Kohana makes this type of transition fairly straightforward in that
all controllers/helpers/etc are still located in the cascading
filesystem without any extra effort, except that I've temporarily
added a hack to force modules/gallery into the module path.
Rename what's left of "core" to be "application" so that it conforms
more closely to the Kohana standard (basically, just
application/config/config.php which is the minimal thing that you need
in the application directory)
There's still considerable work left to be done here.
