Ditched the idea of having language packs as extensions. Reasoning:
1. Because we use machine keys for translations (rather than English
keys), extensions need to be able to define default translations. If
English translations are to be included in extensions and not in a
language pack extension, then it doesn’t make sense to have other
languages as language pack extensions. Inconsistency → complexity.
2. Translations should maintain version parity with their respective
extensions. There’s no way to do this if extension translations are
external to the extension.
Instead, localisation will be a core effort, as well as a per-extension
effort. Translators will be encouraged to send PRs to core + extensions.
In core, each locale has a directory containing three files:
- translations.yml
- config.js: contains pluralisation logic for the JS app, as well as
moment.js localisation if necessary
- config.php: contains pluralisation logic for the PHP app
Extensions can use the Flarum\Extend\Locale extender to add/override
translations/config to a locale.
Asset compilation has been completely refactored with a better
architecture. Translations + config.js are compiled and cached for the
currently active locale.
It works but it’s not the most pretty thing in the world. @franzliedke
Would be great if you could take a look at the whole formatting API and
work your magic on it sometime… my brain is fried!
Originally the user activity feed was implemented using UNIONs. I was
looking at make an API to add activity “sources”, or extra UNION
queries (select from posts, mentions, etc.) but quickly realised that
this is too slow and there’s no way to make it scale.
So I’ve implemented an API which is very similar to how notifications
work (see previous commit). The `activity` table is an aggregation of
stuff that happens, and it’s kept in sync by an ActivitySyncer which is
used whenever a post it created/edited/deleted, a user is
mentioned/unmentioned, etc.
Again, the API is very simple (see Core\Activity\PostedActivity +
Core\Handlers\Events\UserActivitySyncer)
- New, cleaner, more prominent look
- Make it statically positioned down the bottom on mobile, so you can
still scroll up to look at posts
- Fix some bugs with animation, jumping between views
Perhaps also in user activity stream. They are used in the mentions
extension.
In order to generate the excerpt, each formatter can implement a
“strip” method which basically converts block formatting into inline
formatting.
