by the following rules:
1) An initial dialog or panel load can take either HTML or JSON, but
the mime type must accurately reflect its payload.
2) dialog form submits can handle a pure HTML response, but the mime
type must also be correct. This properly resolves the problem
where the reauth code gets a JSON response first from the reauth
code, and then an HTML response when you reauth and continue on to
a given form -- try it out with Admin > Settings > Advanced.
3) All JSON replies must set the mime type correctly. The json::reply
convenience function does this for us.
4) By default, any HTML content sent back in the JSON response should be
in the "html" field, no longer the "form" field.
The combination of these allows us to stop doing boilerplate code like
this in our controllers:
// Print our view, JSON encoded
json::reply(array("form" => (string) $view));
instead, controllers can just return HTML, eg:
// Print our view
print $view;
That's much more intuitive for developers.
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.
