### server-supported moods vs. custom moods
###
users will be able to use either server-supported moods or their
own custom moods.
to use a server-supported mood, clients will use metadata property:
current_moodid (numeric)
to use a custom mood, clients will use metadata property:
current_mood
Or, use them both. Why? The current_moodid will indicte the picture to use, the current_mood will have the text to display. Clients may decide how they'd like to do it (using neither, one, or both)
If only a current_moodid is given, the text will be from the server.
### a list of all server-supported moods
### each mood has a parent (base) mood. at the top of the tree would be
### "positive" or "negative", but since those are boring, maybe "happy" and "sad"
CREATE TABLE moods (
moodid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
mood VARCHAR(40),
parentmood INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
);
### I think the moods should be displayed with a picture with ALIGN=ABSMIDDLE, a space,
### and then the mood in text.
### people will of course want to customize the images for the moods, so there
### will be mood themes
CREATE TABLE moodthemes (
moodthemeid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
ownerid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL
name VARCHAR(50),
des VARCHAR(100),
is_public ENUM('Y', 'N') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'N'
);
### users don't have to define pictures for every mood ... just certain base ones
### LiveJournal will find the picture by working up the tree until it finds one
### with a picture defined that's either gender neutral or matching gender
CREATE TABLE moodthemedata (
moodthemeid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
KEY (moodthemeid),
moodid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
gender ENUM('m', 'f', 'n') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'n',
UNIQUE (moodthemeid, moodid, gender),
picurl VARCHAR(100),
width TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
height TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL
);
### how to get moods:
###
extending the "login" protocol:
if you send the request key "getmoods" with a value of the highest moodid you have
cached locally, the server will send you back the newer ones, if any:
mood_count
mood_n_id -- mood ID number
mood_n_name -- mood text
if you're lazy, you can send getmoods=0 to get all the moods everytime, or you can
send no getmoods key at all, and not have them returned, so it doesn't slow old
clients.
