[Alan McNatty]

It would be nice if the mobile API would support:

a) writing journals posts ..
b) attaching files to journal posts
c) syncing recent activity / unread inbox items
d) syncing tags
e) syncing file folders
f) syncing journals
g) syncing journal posts

Upgraded APIs to be added to /htdocs/api/mobile in the form of separate upload and sync apis.

    Changes for Mobile API v2 (Bug #1032420)

    This mobile api is in 2 parts, a sync api and an upload api.

    The sync API allows mobile devices to read basic information for a user, such as:
    - notifications
    - blogs
    - blogposts
    - folders
    - tags
    It could be extended to provide a list of friends and contact information for mobile
    communication.

    The upload API is an extension of the original mobile API
    htdocs/artefact/file/mobileupload.php but also supports journals and attaching files
    to journal posts.

    This API is re-housed under the htdocs/api section and is design to deprecate
    htdocs/artefact/file/mobileupload.php

    The API may be extended to support messaging and commenting on blogposts in due course.

Sadly the tightening of the param_ has left a bug .. the notifications field in the sync.php can be comma separated but comma is not part of param_alpha set so this field does indeed need to be param_variable ..

Fix posted to gerrit for review https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/1487/1

Similar issues exist on with theupload api .. username for example cannot be alphanumext updating previous patch

    Fix param_ bugs for numerous fields in sync/upload (Bug #1032420)

    Sadly the tightening of the param_ has left several bugs ..
    i) some of the fields in the sync.php and upload.php are comma separated
    ii) usernames need to be param_variable
    iii) similarly free text entry forms such as journal titles and
    descriptions could contain variable characters.
