plovs reported a crash when templates were not installed properly,
with a non-useful error about the template object not being defined.
I've audited all uses of template_depends(), and template(), and it makes
sense for them to throw an error if the template cannot be found. All code
with a user-supplied template catches errors already, to handle template
parse failures.
It did not make sense for template_file to throw errors, as some code uses
it to probe if a template file is available.
This better defines what the filter hook is passed, to only be the raw,
complete text of a page. Not some snippet, or data read in from an
unrelated template.
Several plugins that filtered text that originates from an (already
filtered) page were modified not to do that. Note that this was not
done very consistently before; other plugins that receive text from a
page called preprocess on it w/o first calling filter.
The template plugin gets text from elsewhere, and was also changed not to
filter it. That leads to one known regression -- the embed plugin cannot
be used to embed stuff in templates now. But that plugin is deprecated
anyway.
Later we may want to increase the coverage of what is filtered. Perhaps
a good goal would be to allow writing a filter plugin that filters
out unwanted words, from any input. We're not there yet; not only
does the template plugin load unfiltered text from its templates now,
but so can the table plugin, and other plugins that use templates (like
inline!). I think we can cross that bridge when we come to it. If I wanted
such a censoring plugin, I'd probably make it use a sanitize hook instead,
for the better coverage.
For now I am concentrating on the needs of the two non-deprecated users
of filter. This should fix bugs/po_vs_templates, and it probably fixes
an obscure bug around txt's use of filter for robots.txt.
Renamed usershort => nickname.
Note that this means existing user login sessions will not have the nickname
recorded, and so it won't be used for those.
Using named parameters for these is overdue. Passing the session in a
parameter instead of passing username and IP separately will later allow
storing other session info, like username or part of the email.
Note that these functions are not part of the exported API,
and the prototype change will catch (most) skew, so I am not changing
API versions. Any third-party plugins that call them will need updated
though.
Now the git plugin supports commits with author fields that look like:
Author: http://my.openid/ <me@web>
Then in recentchanges, the short username will be displayed, linking
to the openid.
Particularly useful for the horrible google openids, of course.
This entailed changing template_params; it no longer takes the template
filename as its first parameter.
Add template_depends to api and replace calls to template() with
template_depends() in appropriate places, where a dependency should be
added on the template.
Other plugins don't use template(), so will need further work.
Also, includes are disabled for security. Enabling includes only when using
templates from the templatedir would be nice, but would add a lot of
complexity to the implementation.
* Automatically run --gettime the first time ikiwiki is run on
a given srcdir.
* Optimise --gettime for git, so it's appropriatly screamingly
fast. (This could be done for other backends too.)
* However, --gettime for git no longer follows renames.
* Use above to fix up timestamps on docwiki, as well as ensure that
timestamps on basewiki files shipped in the deb are sane.
* Rename --getctime to --gettime. (The old name still works for
backwards compatability.)
* --gettime now also looks up last modification time.
* Add rcs_getmtime to plugin API; currently only implemented
for git.
There's a gotcha where pagespec_match_list is used with a dependency type
that is not a full content dependency, and so ikiwiki does not know that
a content change to a page that sorted too low to match needs to trigger
a rebuild, since its sort order may have changed.
Inline is mostly ok re this, as it does use content dependencies. Except
for in the case of raw mode. But then, page metadata is documented to not
be loaded, so it doesn't make sense to use sortspecs that depend on
metadata. I hope. :)
As I was adding ngettext support, I realized I could optimize the gettext
functions by memoizing the creation of the gettext object. Note that
the object creation is still deferred until a gettext function is called,
to avoid unnecessary startup penalties on code paths that do not need
gettext.
A side benefit is that separate stub functions are no longer needed to
handle the C language case.
