# This method searches the stories table in reverse chronological

# This method's input is its $options hashref, which may be
# overwritten before it exits.  All options are optional
# (duh) and reasonable defaults will be used.  Legal keys
# and their values are as follows.
# These arguments are integers:
#	offset		Skip the first n stories
#	limit		Number of stories wanted for their primary
#			use (like the central column of index.pl)
#	limit_extra	Number of stories wanted for their
#			secondary use (like the Older Stories box)
#	fake_secs_ahead	Seconds into the future to pretend it is now
#			(used to precache this query for speed, not
#			useful for returning actual data for a user).
#	future_secs	Seconds into the future that this user is
#			authorized to look.  0 means not authorized,
#			but undef or missing means to use the default
#			for subscribers (ends up being var
#			'subscribe_future_secs').
#	issue		If present, must be in yyyymmdd format;
#			the latest story returned cannot be after the
#			end of that day in the user's timezone (nor
#			earlier than a week before).
# The following six arguments can be either a scalar int or
# an arrayref of zero or more ints:
#	tid		A story must be in at least one of these
#			topics (usually but not necessarily nexuses)
#			to be returned.  Default: mainpage nexus.
#	tid_exclude	A story must NOT be in any of these topics.
#	uid		A story must be posted by one of these users.
#	uid_exclude	A story must NOT be posted by any of these users.
#	stoid		A story must have one of these stoids.
#	stoid_exclude	A story must NOT have one of these stoids.
# These arguments are boolean:
#	sectioncollapse	If true, this method expands the tid argument
#			to include not only the nexus(es) given, but
#			all nexuses (if any) under them.
#	return_min_stoid_only	If true, doesn't return all the story
#				data, just the MIN(stoid) of the data
#				that WOULD have been returned.  Used
#				to set an optimization var, not useful
#				for returning actual data for a user.
#
# The method's output is an arrayref of hashrefs, each one representing
# a story, sorted into reverse chronological order.
#
# memcached plays a subtle role here.  There are many options that are
# passed in, but most commonly this method is called for a single nexus
# and all the other options default (not section-collapsed, not issue,
# nothing excluded, etc).  We cache the final results (all stories
# returned) in that case.  The reason we do not cache with many (any)
# options is that any change to any story necessitates invalidating all
# memcached data that might now or might previously have referenced
# that story.  There is no way to delete all memcached keys that match
# a regex or prefix (and this is by design:  it may never have this
# capability), so by keeping only 1-2 keys for each tid, instead of
# keeping a key for every possible option, we make that deletion
# tractable and even easy.
#
# There are only two elements to a memcached gSE key:  the tid of the
# single topic that all the stories are rendered into, and the unix
# timestamp of the 0th second of the first minute that the story data
# is valid for.  That key is set to expire shortly after the minute is
# over, so any key will really be used only for 60 seconds and then
# ignored until it is purged by memcached's reclamation.  Another way
# to do this would be to only set the data once it is valid, i.e. to
# never set it until its minute has arrived.  But thanks to the
# set_gse_min_stoid task, we are precaching the results of this method
# in both the MySQL query cache and in memcached;  but those results
# must not be accessed until their time has arrived.
#
# So: the memcached key is:
# 	$keyprefix:gse:$tid:$unix_timestamp_minute_start
# and its value is the same data returned by this method:  an arrayref
# of hashrefs, one per story.

# (And now a word from CmdrTaco)
#
# I'm putting this note here because I hate posting stories about
# Slashcode on Slashdot.  It's just distracting from the news, and the
# vast majority of Slashdot readers simply don't care about it. I know
# that this is interpreted as me being all men-in-black, but thats
# bull pucky.  I don't want Slashdot to be about Slashdot or
# Slashcode.  A few people have recently taken to reading CVS and then
# trolling Slashdot with the deep dark secrets that they think they
# have found within.  They don't bother going so far as to bother
# *asking* before freaking.  We have a mailing list if people want to
# ask questions.  We love getting patches when people have better ways
# to do things.  But answers are much more likely if you ask us to our
# faces instead of just sitting in the back of class and bitching to
# everyone sitting around you.  I'm not going to try to have an
# offtopic discussion in an unrelated story.  And I'm not going to
# bother posting a story to appease the 1% of readers for whom this
# story matters one iota.  So this seems to be a reasonable way for me
# to reach you.
#
# What I'm talking about this time is all this IPID crap.  It's a
# temporary kludge that people simply don't understand. It isn't
# intended to be permanent, or secure.  These 2 misconceptions are the
# source of the problem.
#
# The IPID stuff was designed when we only kept 2 weeks of comments in
# the DB at a time.  We need to track IPs and Subnets to prevent DoS
# script attacks.  Again, I know conspiracy theorists freak out, but
# the reality is that without this,  we get constant scripted
# trolling.  This simply isn't up for debate.  We've been doing this
# for years.  It's not new.  We *used* to just store the plain old IP.
#
# The problem is that I don't want IPs staring me in the face. So we
# MD5d em. This wasn't for "security" in the strict sense of the word.
# It just was meant to make it inconvenient for now.  Not impossible.
# Now I don't have any IPs.  Instead we have reasonably abstracted
# functions that should let us create a more secure system when we
# have the time.
#
# What really needs to happen is that these IDs need to be generated
# with some sort of random rolling key. Of course lookups need to be
# computationally fast within the limitations of our existing
# database.  Ideas?  Or better yet, Diffs?
#
# Lastly I have to say, I find it ironic that we've tracked IPs for
# years.  But nobody complained until we *stopped* tracking IPs and
# put the hooks in place to provide a *secure* system.  You'd think
# people were just looking for an excuse to bitch...

# Convert a list of chosen topics to a list of rendered topics.
# Input is a hashref with keys tids and values weights;
# output is the same.
#
# This works for either stories or submissions.  Or whatever
# other data we end up attaching chosen and rendered topics to.
#
# The algorithm is simple:  walk up the tree, following all
# child->parent links that don't demand a minimum weight higher
# than the weight assigned to that child.  As we walk up the
# tree, at each node, the weight is the maximum of all weights
# that have propagated up to that node, unless the node is in
# the original chosen list, in which case its weight is always
# the chosen weight, no more or less.  (Yes, it's simple, but
# recursion is always subtly tricky!)  Note that existence of a
# node in the input hashref is significant, regardless of
# weight, since a weight of 0 has meaning.  But existence of a
# node in the output hashref with weight 0 would be nonsense,
# since any rendered topic must have weight > 0, so any nodes
# with weight 0 on input will not appear in the output.
#
# The reason for this is hard to explain, because it's an
# essential part of the whole topic tree system.  The purpose
# here is to take a list of topics chosen by a human, and generate
# a list of topics that the code can do a SELECT on to determine
# whether a story falls into a particular category.  This is
# what makes getting the list of all stories in a particular
# nexus doable in anything like reasonable time.
#
# Additionally, any chosen topic that has parent links with a
# min_weight of -1 forces the rendered weight of those parent
# topics to 0, exactly as if every parent of that chosen topic
# was also chosen with a weight of 0.
#

# optimization; in aGETHA, conditional selects).  And that the standard
# set of data is based on general needs and may evolve in future.  And
# that this method kind of straddles the boundary between system logic
# and application logic.
#
# Generally speaking, for each new globj type added to the globj_types
# table, a new _addGlobjEssentials_foo call will have to appear here.
#
# Data returned is of course not guaranteed to be data which the current
# user is allowed to view.  E.g. a list of stories should be grepped
# on checkStoryViewable(), and submissions probably eliminated entirely,
# before shown to a nonadmin user.
#
# Currently, the standard set of data which is added to each hashref is:
# * title = Text string which best serves as the title for the object.
#           This may contain raw data entered by an admin... or by a
#           user or an untrusted URL, so it MUST BE STRIPPED for output.
# * url = URL to view the object
