When 'must approve users' in enabled, we don't want to send an
activation email to users after they sign up. Instead, we will show them
'waiting approval' and not take an action until their account is
approved by an admin.
All models are now using ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesProtection, which shifts the responsibility for parameter whitelisting for mass-assignments from the model to the controller. attr_accessible has been disabled and removed as this functionality replaces that.
The require_parameters method in the ApplicationController has been removed in favor of strong_parameters' #require method.
It is important to note that there is still some refactoring required to get all parameters to pass through #require and #permit so that we can guarantee that parameter values are scalar. Currently strong_parameters, in most cases, is only being utilized to require parameters and to whitelist the few places that do mass-assignments.
When 'invite only' is enabled, there's no way for a user to create an
account unless they try and sneak in by POSTing to /users/. We will
silently fail if this happens.
The gist of the commit are a few improvements in the
create action, where:
* long boolean statemenst have been wrapped in smaller more readable
methods.
* the 3rd party user info creation has been extracted (still in controller)
* a small helper method for creating a new user from params (to reduce
visual clutter)
* specs have been added where I came across untested methods/branches
Other changes are more trivial like formatting and whitespace fixes.
Hope this helps. Regards.
* rename `User#password_required` to `User#password_required!`
* emails with "i" @ something are a special case as well
* get rid of `self.` and returns where possible
* prefer "unless a" instead of "if !a"
* `unread_notifications` without manually iterating
* introduce `User#moderator?`
* introduce `TrustLevel#valid_key?`, `TrustLevel#compare`, and
`TrustLevel#level_key`
