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.
* naive uWSGI fallback which spawns one thread per request and
one thread per mail notification
* uWSGI backend which utilize queues and spooling to handle
simultanous requests and mail notifications
This also fixes a bug where N concurrent POSTs on a new topic
failed for N-1 requests (db integrity error).
* 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.
A separate (minified) JS to load only the comment count for each
`<a href="...#isso-thread">...</a>` link. If there are no comments,
return a 404, otherwise return the number JSON formatted.
To built `count.ks`, run `r.js -o build.count.js`.
completely revamp JS client because JS sucks^W^W^W to feature AMD,
require.js, promises and HTML.js.
The comment listing is now more like Disqus and for now comment
retrieval, comment creation and deletion works. Form validation is
rudimentary implemented as well.
replaced Mako with Jinja2 (because... I forgot.), admin interface will
use Bootstrap™ but is not functional yet.
features a progress indicator in case you're sqlite db performs *really*
bad
