Remove the last_activity_timestamp query and use last_updated instead.
Review Request #880 — Created June 1, 2009 and submitted
Remove the last_activity_timestamp query and use last_updated instead. The last_activity_timestamp query could get really slow on the All Review Requests page, and really wasn't even necessary. It was a case of a design evolving several times and then losing sight of the better way of doing this. The last_activity_timestamp represented the greater value of the review request's last_updated field and the latest published review's timestamp. Really, what we needed to do was just save the review request when publishing a review and then piggy-back on last_updated. This change undoes much of last_activity_timestamp, which offers a speed boost, decreases complexity, and prevents the problem of future code wanting to influence this value. last_updated really should be the timestamp representing the last activity on the review request anyway. This also removes get_last_activity_timestamp() on ReviewRequest, since it was used in only one place, and was a bit too special-cased to go in ReviewRequest. This will introduce an issue in existing installs where suddenly the Last Updated values in the dashboard will revert back some number of days, since it will now reflect last_updated and not take into account existing review timestamps. This is perhaps a little annoying, but will only be a problem for existing review requests, and the next time they're updated/reviewed, it will be correct.
Made sure the dashboard and All Review Requests pages worked fine. Saved a review and saw last_updated update.
