get rid of is_admin(), instead check for django permissions. a couple
things were using is_admin(), so now there's an example of the
permission adding and usage, as those were ported
sets up the foreign key and changes how is_admin() works, though it will
be going away pretty soon, i just need to do this migration in parts so
as to not confuse django too much
the porting is complete, everything i care about has been moved to the
django-based codebase, and this old junk can finally go
IT IS A NEW ERA, one of maintainability and flexible changes. after
years of procrastinating, i have finally done this. the future is now
this silly storytelling game has been lightly tested, but it appears to
not blow up miserably, so i'm going to commit it until i can spend more
time testing it/caring about it
decouple the dispatcher (a key, basically) with the actions to take upon
receiving such a message. allows us to have multiple actions for one key
without weird hacks
use GenericAPIView rather than APIView in order to get some common idiom
stuff done for us. we continue to support GET and POST in
DispatchMessage, now it's just a bit cleaner. i think.
anyway if we were doing this stuff more we could/should probably create
mixins for them, but at the moment this is pretty sane i think
this moves the dispatcher functionality that used to be in the old
ircbot directly to django REST framework, which is more robust and
allows for cooler stuff down the road. this still retains the ability to
have the bot privmsg, that still happens over the XML-RPC interface,
this is just a more convenient frontend to that
