* Changed Content-Type of Atom feeds and entries to XML for easier debugging.
* Added an Atom helper class with some common functions and cleaned up entry and feed generation code a bit in the comment helper.
* Style fixes.
* 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
