Introduce dynamic scope_path regexps Instead of relying on scope_path's being "one slash deep", we should instead allow for either: 1. scope_paths that have a pre-defined depth 2. scope_paths that can be arbitrarily deep We achieve 1 by setting an entities scope_logic to another logic module. We then recursively call getScopeDepth until we get to the topmost entity (that is, an unscoped entity). A little different is the solution to 2, since some entities can have an arbitrarily deep scope (such as Documents), we need to have some way of signaling this to getScopePattern. A clean solution is to return None, rather than a number. If None is returned, the SCOPE_PATH_ARG_PATTERN is returned as regexp instead, which will match an arbitrarily deeply nested scope. The solution for 2 requires that we return None somewhere in the scope_logic chain, the most straight forward method to do so is to override getScopeDepth anywhere such a scope is needed and make it return None. A more elegant solution however, is to set the scope_logic to that module in all entities that require it. Patch by: Sverre Rabbelier

# Sent just before a comment will be posted (after it's been approved and

# details or other such actions. If any receiver returns False the comment will be
# discarded and a 403 (not allowed) response. This signal is sent at more or less
# the same time (just before, actually) as the Comment object's pre-save signal,
# except that the HTTP request is sent along with this signal.
