This includes the ability to "shadowban" new users who have not yet been
approved. We do not have UI for approving these users.
Migrate deserving users to new Approved status
Add post fetching helpers as well
The logic in the thread/post stuff is definitely getting redundant, but
I'm not sure I'm yet ready to try to abstract any of it away.
The next thing to do is probably to update blogs and other places that
fetch threads/posts, and delete the old helpers.
Move forums and blogs fully to new helpers
Use the helpers on the landing page too
that was easy!
Fix up some spots I missed
Check user status and use helpers on the profile page
Still need to add UI for the blog index, and fix some aesthetic issues:
- Wide posts can break the editor UI
- Blog comments don't show the fancy reply UI
- The post hash stuff on blog threads doesn't jump you to the correct
post
Probably other stuff, I dunno.
Threads can stand alone now. Threads can be attached to resources
directly without requiring a category. In addition, a lot of wiki stuff
and library discussion stuff was deleted because we're not gonna port
it.
I am in the middle of:
- porting the landing page
- making some db changes to help with that
- deleting the member and memberextended tables
Mainly the last one. Doing so requires us to update all the other tables
that currently point at member and memberextended so that the foreign
keys will point directly to users. The big thing that we still have yet
to do is links, and actually copying data from the member and
memberextended tables to users.
It's a lot simpler now, control flow is easier to work with in handlers,
and HMNHandler now natively implements http.Handler, simplifying our 404
setup by completely removing the need for MakeStdHandler.
