This week in tickets #1

[Michael C. Harris]

This week in tickets may be an occasional series, depending on whether
it seems useful or not, focusing on new and existing tickets in
Trac[1]. The aim is to try to get new tickets closed quickly, and not
to let old tickets hang around too long and stagnate. Discuss, fix,
close, as appropriate.

This week: 14 commits, 9 new tickets and 10 closed tickets.

#982: Install fails if tmpfile() function is disabled in PHP
baz found he couldn't install because tmpfile() was disabled (testing
AJAX, used by curl). gsnedders suggests that since any functions can
be disabled, we shouldn't support testing for arbitrary disabled ones.

#983: anchor hrefs in posts get ampersand character entity served with
plain ampersand
Producing invalid HTML.

#984: Habari should notify you when it's changed the content address
you specified, or from the default
r3617 set a session message in Post (bad), which led to #988 (don't
set session messages in model classes), which led to the session
message being modified and moved to adminhandler in r3621. The
question is, should we even mention that the content address (slug) is
different to the slugified title, given that the session message and
View Post link both point at it. Arthus, your opinion is on the
ticket, so shhh ;)

#985: Change Media Silo to use relative URLs rather than absolute
Pretty much everything in Habari calculates Habari's URL with
Site::url(), so you can move the install and everything still works,
but the silos insert absolute URLs, and so can't move. Closed as
notabug. Any other way to deal with this nicely ?

#987: Content types not displayed correctly in page title
Has a patch, but what does a 'commit' keyword mean ??

And an oldie:
#15 Post validation
Checking well-formedness of posts (as for XHTML output). A
well-formedness checking plugin ? A new theme engine[2] ?

Thanks for putting this together.

It definitely seems like a useful series, especially if you feature
older tickets with patches as well. Hopefully it can help to cut down
on the number of tickets that languish in Trac, forgotten.
