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.
1) Deleted in-place-editing. We'll be replacing this with a real edit
system that groups settings together and is more coherent.
2) Tweaked the way that dialog boxes work to get the ajax stuff working
again. It's imperfect and does not work properly for uploading images.
This is going to get redone also, but this is a good resting point.
3) Created edit forms for albums and photos. Moved _update and _create out
of Items_Controller and into the individual subclasses.
4) Created access::required which is a shorthand for:
if (!access::can(...)) {
access::forbidden();
}
5) Added validation rules to Items_Model
6) Converted login to use the regular modal dialog approach in the theme.
* HTTP header setting in comment module now going through REST helper API.
* Fixed items controller test.
* Fixed user installer test.
* Fixed _create() handling in the REST controller.
* Fixed routing for edit and add forms.
* Added some tests for the REST controller.
* Set svn:eol-style to LF on a bunch of files.
* Added preamble to MY_Forge.php.
1) We now use __call() in REST_Controller to handle any requests to a controller
that were not already handled. In the case of RESTful controllers, this should
be the only entry point (although they're free to break the model and add other
ones.. nothing stops them).
This means that we can remove all the catch-all routes in
routes.php which greatly simplifies it.
2) Move request_method() and output_format() out of REST_Controller and into the REST
helper in core/helpers/rest.php
3) Experiment with letting the various subclasses check the output_format and deal with
it themselves. This simplifies the API, but it might be a bad idea in that it might
push too much work to the individual controllers. It's a balancing act, time will tell,
I'm willing to change it back later.
GET /form/edit/{controller}/{resource_id} -> controller::_form_edit($resource)
GET /form/add/{controller}/{parameters} -> controller::_form_add($parameters)
* Updated comment, user and core modules to reflect the API changes
* Cleaned up routing and handling of requests to /{controller}
GET /controller -> controller::_index()
POST /controller -> controller::_create()
GET /controller/id -> controller::_show()
PUT /controller/id -> controller::_update()
DELETE /controller/id -> controller::_delete()
GET /form/edit/controller/resource_id -> controller::_form()
GET /form/add/controller/data -> controller::_form()
1) Changed the way that we get forms. Now, if you want to get a form
for a REST resource you prefix /form to the resource id. So:
/form/photo/1 : returns a form for editing photo id 1
/form/comments/1 : returns a form for adding a comment to photo id 1
/form/comment/1 : returns a form for editing comment id 1
2) Changed the comment module to have two controllers:
comment: deals with a single comment resource
comments: deal with collections of comments attached to an item
Related stuff:
- Moved the comments js into the theme
- Reworked Comment_Helper for clarity
- Moved form generation code down into Comment_Helper
- Cleaned up routes (eliminating new comment ones added in recent rev)
- Added form() function to all REST controllers
- Changed comment module to use a block instead of an arbitrary helper call from the theme
- Comment controller only returns HTML currently, but returns a 201 Created status
code when a new comment is added, which the Ajax code can catch and act upon.
- Got rid of a lot of extra views in comment module
* Remove user registration link and popup from the theme; this
shouldn't be done in a popup. Use ajaxform to simplify the way
that we load the login popup.
* Create form.html.php, this is a template for Forge based forms.
* Move user validation rules into User_Model and let forms
populate the rules into their forms as useful.
* Undo r18688's changes regarding the REST code. We should never
accept a null resource, this breaks the REST abstraction.
* Change login and user controllers to use Forge which lets us delete
login.html.php and user.html.php since those now are generated by
the theme-owned form template
_put(), _delete().
This should make it more obvious that these are not your typical
routes, simplifies overall routing by removing a rule and removes the
possibility of accidentally leaking information if we route to one of
them by accident.
controllers. Any controller that wants to act RESTful can extend this
class and implement get/post/put/delete.
Tweak default routes to disallow direct access to the REST controller
and direct access to any REST methods.
