updated compatibility notes
use feed title for channel name before checking author, make feed items shareable (they're private to the channel so they won't be shown in searches), try and handle Diaspora mentions a bit more elegantly. (Bug: we don't convert mentions to Diaspora's format on outbound at all!)
feed removal issue
provide a config option to prevent wall uploads (photos and files) from being set to the same ACL as the containing post, and instead are uploaded with public visibility (no ACL). This is to prevent folks on other networks from seeing prohibited signs for things uploaded into a private conversation. It is primarily useful when posting to collections that have mixed folks from red and other networks and an otherwise public (typical) profile. Consequently, these uploads will match your chosen default visibility for photos and storage and not that of the containing conversation item (and is only useful if the default visibility is public). This choice must be explained adequately because it represents a complex series of tradeoffs and side effects. It will reduce complaints from other networks about blocked content, but essentially forces you to use another method (dav or the photos page) if you wish to upload protected files/media.
try to proceed with a diaspora relayable even if we don't have the original author's signature.
if we don't have a stored diaspora author signature which has been passed the baton since the post's creation, fill in the field with their redmatrix signature. It's pointless, but there's so much pointless stuff in here that I doubt it matters. From what I can ascertain - nobody is going to look at it anyway.
fix diaspora_handle_from_contact()
outbound feed issue
store diaspora meta info in the item table. It has to go there or it will kill us with complex joins. We can phase out the sign table once this all checks out.
fix group membership management for non-red connections
implement service class for feed polling frequenecy, fixed a service class bug, moved service class stuff from plugin to account.php where it belongs and load that by default instead of on demand
this is turning into a wretched mess. It's going to get worse before it gets better, but I'm trying to do this incrementally so I don't break the whole shebang for a few days. It will get better once all the bbcode translation is done in a single place (cross fingers), and we can just sign the post once when we submit it and be done with it. If Diaspora ever implements editing of existing posts we'll have to go back and do the whole wretched mess over again.
sort out some of the bb2d madness
remove feed items from ACL selector - there's nothing we can do with them and if we were to try we'd have to binary pack all the hashes
update docs as D* members should now be able to participate in redmatrix forums. They will need to plus-tag the forum. There may still be minor issues, but nothing fundamentally at odds with this working.
allow stuff with Diaspora authors to federate in zot conversations even if the local site has diaspora disabled. This way it won't look like folks are talking to themselves.
realm detection logic reversed
allow feeds to be sourced
constrain photos to a fixed block regardless of aspect ratio
oops forgot about the privacy exclusion
