Keep Isso modular, not monolithic. Make it easy to integrate a
web interface or add XMPP notifications.
This refactorization includes minor bugfixes and changes:
* CORS middleware did not work properly due to wrong unit tests
* more type checks on JSON input
* new detection for origin and public url, closes#28
* new activation and delete url (no redirect for old urls, but you can
convert the old urls: copy hash after `/activate/` (or delete) and
open `/id/<id of comment>/activate/<hash>`
* move crypto.py to utils/
With this commit, SMTP is no longer automatically configured: add
`notify = smtp` to the `[general]` section to use SMTP.
* refactor JS (a lot)
* use a CSS framework (neat/bourbon), because CSS is hard
* up/downvote comments
* cleaner HTML
* HTML inclusion in JS
* SVG icons for reference, up and downvote
* basic i18n: english and german supported ootb
* lazy (because slow) client-side identicon generation (preview ability)
* removed website input field for no particular reason
* remove HTML.js in favour of a homebrew DOM manipulation tool
This commit also introduces a new db which maps path to thread title.
The title is read by parsing the HTML for a related <h1> tag using
`html5lib`.
You can set up SMTP in your configuration (here the defaults):
[SMTP]
host = localhost
port = 465
ssl = on
username =
password =
recipient =
sender =
In short, by default Isso uses a local SMTP server using SSL without
any authentication. An email is send on comment creation to "recipient"
from "Ich schrei sonst <sender>".
This commit also uses a simple ANSI colorization module from my static
blog compiler project.
On server startup, Isso will connect to the SMTP server and fall back to
a null mailer. It also tries to connect to your website, so if that
doesn't work, you probably can't comment on your website either.
