There was an issue where if hashtag-cooked HTML was sent
to the ExcerptParser without the keep_svg option, we would
end up with empty </use> and </svg> tags on the parts of the
excerpt where the hashtag was, in this case when a post
push notification was sent.
Fixed this, and also added a way to only display a plaintext
version of the hashtag for cases like this via PrettyText#excerpt.
* DEV: Skip push notifications for active online users
Currently, users with active push subscriptions get push notifications
regardless of their "presence" on the site.
This change introduces a `push_notification_time_window_mins`
site setting which is used in conjunction with a user's `last_seen_at` to
determine if push notifications should be sent. A user is considered to
be actively online if their `last_seen_at` is within `push_notification_time_window_mins`
minutes. `push_notification_time_window_mins` is set to 10 by default.
* DEV: Remove client param for push_notification_time_window_mins site setting

When user is watching category or tag (watching or watching first post) notifications are moved to other tab.
To achieve that and distinguish between post create to directly watched topics and indirectly watched topics, new notification type called `watching_category_or_tag` was introduced.
Related to aeee7ed.
Before the change in aeee7ed, notifications for direct replies to your posts and notifications for replies in watched topics looked the same in the notifications menu -- they both used the arrow icon.
We decided in aeee7ed to distinguish them by changing "watched topics" notifications to use the bell icon because it was confusing for users who watch topics to see the same icon for direct replies and "watched topics". However, that change also means that non-power/new users who receive replies to topics _they create_ will get notifications with the bell icon because technically they're watching the topic, but the arrow icon is more appropriate for this case because we use it throughout the app to indicate "replies".
This commit adds a special-case so that if a user is watching a topic AND the topic is created by them, they receive notifications with the arrow icon (type `replied`) instead of the bell icon (type `posted`) for new posts in the topic.
Internal topic: t/79051.
A user could receive more than a notification for the same post if they
watched both the categories and tags at different levels. This commit
makes sure that only the watching notification is created.
* Add DiscourseEvent before post notifications are created
It makes more sense to use user_ids for the UserCommScreener
introduced in fa5f3e228c since
in most cases the ID will be available, not the username. This
was discovered while starting work on a plugin that will
use this. In the cases where only usernames are available
the extra query is negligble.
The idea behind this refactor is to centralise all of the user ignoring / muting / disallow PM checks in a single place, so they can be used consistently in core as well as for plugins like chat, while improving the main bulk of the checks to run in a single fast non-AR query.
Also fixed up the invite error when someone is muting/ignoring the user that is trying to invite them to the topic.
All users are members of the EVERYONE group, but this group is special and
is omitted from the group_users table. When checking permission we need to
make sure we also add a bypass.
This also fixes a very buggy test in post_alerter, it was confirming the
broken behavior due to fabricator flow.
When it defined the tag group the everyone group automatically had full access
then the additional permission fabricated just added one more group. After
fix was made to code the test started failing. Fabricators can be risky.
When emailing a group inbox and including other support-type
emails (or even just regular ones with autoresponders) in the
CC field, each automated reply to the group inbox triggered
more emails to be sent out to all CC addresses to notify them
of the new reply, which in turn caused more automated emails
to be sent to the group inbox.
This commit fixes the issue by preventing any emails being sent
by the PostAlerter when the new post has an incoming email record
which is_auto_generated, which we detect in Email::Receiver.
I plan to use this in an upcoming discourse-reactions PR, where I want to like a post without notifying the user, so I can instead create a reaction notification.
Additionally, we decouple the a11y attributes from the icon itself, which will let us extend the widget's icon without losing them.
This PR moves the behavior from the PostAlerter. We delete an existing liked notification and set the `username2` attribute to the previous `display_username`. We repeat this process unless the last one is old enough or it's not in the most recent ones.
* REFACTOR: Improve support for consolidating notifications.
Before this commit, we didn't have a single way of consolidating notifications. For notifications like group summaries, we manually removed old ones before creating a new one. On the other hand, we used an after_create callback for likes and group membership requests, which caused unnecessary work, as we need to delete the record we created to replace it with a consolidated one.
We now have all the consolidation rules centralized in a single place: the consolidation planner class. Other parts of the app looking to create a consolidable notification can do so by calling Notification#consolidate_or_save!, instead of the default Notification#create! method.
Finally, we added two more rules: one for re-using existing group summaries and another for deleting duplicated dashboard problems PMs notifications when the user is tracking the moderator's inbox. Setting the threshold to one forces the planner to apply this rule every time.
I plan to add plugin support for adding custom rules in another PR to keep this one relatively small.
* DEV: Introduces a plugin API for consolidating notifications.
This commit removes the `Notification#filter_by_consolidation_data` scope since plugins could have to define their criteria. The Plan class now receives two blocks, one to query for an already consolidated notification, which we'll try to update, and another to query for existing ones to consolidate.
It also receives a consolidation window, which accepts an ActiveSupport::Duration object, and filter notifications created since that value.
Use @here to mention all users that were allowed to topic directly or
through group, who liked topics or read the topic. Only first 10 users
will be notified.
We are pushing /notification-alert/#{user_id} and /notification/#{user_id}
messages to MessageBus from both PostAlerter and User#publish_notification_state.
This can cause memory issues on large sites with many users. This commit
stems the bleeding by only sending these alert messages if the user
in question has been seen in the last 30 days, which eliminates a large
chunk of users on some sites.
When 31035010af
was done it failed to take into account the case where the smtp_enabled
site setting was true, but the topic had no allowed groups / no
incoming email record, which caused errors for topics even with
nothing to do with group SMTP.
When there are multiple groups on a topic, we were selecting
the first from the topic allowed groups to act as the sender
email address when sending group SMTP replies via PostAlerter.
However, this was not ordered, and since there is no created_at
column on TopicAllowedGroup we cannot order this nicely, which
caused just a random group to be used (based on whatever postgres
decided it felt like that morning).
This commit changes the group used for SMTP sending to be the
group using the email_username of the to address of the first
incoming email for the topic, if there are more than one allowed
groups on the topic. Otherwise it just uses the only SMTP enabled
group.
Calling create_notification_alert could still send a notification to a
suspended user. This just moves the check if user is suspended right
before sending the notification.
Also promote the `create_notification_alert` and `push_notification`
methods from instance methods to class methods so that plugins can call
them. This is temporary until we add a more comprehensive API for
extending `PostAlerter`.
For other private messages we have the site setting
personal_email_time_window_seconds (default 20s) which allows
people to edit their post etc. before the email is sent.
This PR makes the Jobs::GroupSmtpEmail enqueuer in the
PostAlerter use the same delay.
<!-- NOTE: All pull requests should have tests (rspec in Ruby, qunit in JavaScript). If your code does not include test coverage, please include an explanation of why it was omitted. -->
This PR backtracks a fair bit on this one https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/13220/files.
Instead of sending the group SMTP email for each user via `UserNotifications`, we are changing to send only one email with the existing `Jobs::GroupSmtpEmail` job and `GroupSmtpMailer`. We are changing this job and mailer along with `PostAlerter` to make the first topic allowed user the `to_address` for the email and any other `topic_allowed_users` to be the CC address on the email. This is to cut down on emails sent via SMTP, which is subject to daily limits from providers such as Gmail. We log these details in the `EmailLog` table now.
In addition to this, we have changed `PostAlerter` to no longer rely on incoming email email addresses for sending the `GroupSmtpEmail` job. This was unreliable as a user's email could have changed in the meantime. Also it was a little overcomplicated to use the incoming email records -- it is far simpler to reason about to just use topic allowed users.
This also adds a fix to include cc_addresses in the EmailLog.addressed_to_user scope.
Notifying about a tag change sometimes resulted in loading a large
number of users in memory just to perform an exclusion. This commit
prefers to do inclusion (i.e. instead of exclude users X, do include
users in groups Y) and does it in SQL to avoid fetching unnecessary
data that is later discarded.
When a group only has SMTP enabled and not IMAP, we do not
want to enqueue the :group_smtp_email job because using the group's
SMTP credentials for sending user_private_message emails is
handled by the UserNotifications class.
We do not want the :group_smtp_email job to be enqueued because
that uses a reply key instead of the group.email_username
for the reply-to address which is not what we want for SMTP
only, and also creates an IncomingEmail record to prevent IMAP
double syncing which we do not need either.
There is an open question about what happens when IMAP is
enabled after SMTP has been enabled for a while, and also questions
around whether we could do away with :group_smtp_email altogether
and handle everything via EmailLog and UserNotifications, adding
additional columns to the former and modifying the Imap::Sync
class to take this into account...a lot more further testing
for IMAP needs to be done to answer those questions.
For now, this fix should be sufficient to get the correct
reply-to address for user_private_response messages sent in
response to emails sent directly to the group's
email_username SMTP address.

This PR changes the `UserNotification` class to send outbound `user_private_message` using the group's SMTP settings, but only if:
* The first allowed_group on the topic has SMTP configured and enabled
* SiteSetting.enable_smtp is true
* The group does not have IMAP enabled, if this is enabled the `GroupSMTPMailer` handles things
The email is sent using the group's `email_username` as both the `from` and `reply-to` address, so when the user replies from their email it will go through the group's SMTP inbox, which needs to have email forwarding set up to send the message on to a location (such as a hosted site email address like meta@discoursemail.com) where it can be POSTed into discourse's handle_mail route.
Also includes a fix to `EmailReceiver#group_incoming_emails_regex` to include the `group.email_username` so the group does not get a staged user created and invited to the topic (which was a problem for IMAP), as well as updating `Group.find_by_email` to find using the `email_username` as well for inbound emails with that as the TO address.
#### Note
This is safe to merge without impacting anyone seriously. If people had SMTP enabled for a group they would have IMAP enabled too currently, and that is a very small amount of users because IMAP is an alpha product, and also because the UserNotification change has a guard to make sure it is not used if IMAP is enabled for the group. The existing IMAP tests work, and I tested this functionality by manually POSTing replies to the SMTP address into my local discourse.
There will probably be more work needed on this, but it needs to be tested further in a real hosted environment to continue.
This overhauls the user interface for the group email settings management, aiming to make it a lot easier to test the settings entered and confirm they are correct before proceeding. We do this by forcing the user to test the settings before they can be saved to the database. It also includes some quality of life improvements around setting up IMAP and SMTP for our first supported provider, GMail. This PR does not remove the old group email config, that will come in a subsequent PR. This is related to https://meta.discourse.org/t/imap-support-for-group-inboxes/160588 so read that if you would like more backstory.
### UI
Both site settings of `enable_imap` and `enable_smtp` must be true to test this. You must enable SMTP first to enable IMAP.
You can prefill the SMTP settings with GMail configuration. To proceed with saving these settings you must test them, which is handled by the EmailSettingsValidator.
If there is an issue with the configuration or credentials a meaningful error message should be shown.
IMAP settings must also be validated when IMAP is enabled, before saving.
When saving IMAP, we fetch the mailboxes for that account and populate them. This mailbox must be selected and saved for IMAP to work (the feature acts as though it is disabled until the mailbox is selected and saved):
### Database & Backend
This adds several columns to the Groups table. The purpose of this change is to make it much more explicit that SMTP/IMAP is enabled for a group, rather than relying on settings not being null. Also included is an UPDATE query to backfill these columns. These columns are automatically filled when updating the group.
For GMail, we now filter the mailboxes returned. This is so users cannot use a mailbox like Sent or Trash for syncing, which would generally be disastrous.
There is a new group endpoint for testing email settings. This may be useful in the future for other places in our UI, at which point it can be extracted to a more generic endpoint or module to be included.
* FIX: Link notification to first unread post
If a topic with a few posts was posted in a watched category or with a
watched tag, the created notification would always point to the last
post, instead of pointing to the first one.
The root cause is that the query that fetched the first unread post
uses 'TopicUser' records and those are not created by default for
user watching a category or tag. In this case, it should use the
'CategoryUser' or 'TagUser' records.
* DEV: Use named bind variables
There was an issue that occurred with this order of operations:
* An IMAP topic was created by emailing a group
* A second user was invited to the topic (not the OP and not the group)
* A user with access to the group replies to the topic
* The second user receives a user_private_message notification email because of their involvement in the topic
* The second user replies to the email via email
This new reply would then go and notify the other group PM users, except for those who emailed the group topic directly, which is handled via the group SMTP mailer. However because the new post already has an incoming email because it is parsed via the Email::Receiver via POP3 the group SMTP section of the post alerter is skipped, and the group's email address is not ignored for the user_private_message notification.
This PR fixes it so the group is not ever sent an email via the PM notification. This is important because any new emails in the group's IMAP inbox will be picked up by the Imap::Sync code and created as a new topic which is not at all desirable.
Also in this PR I split up the specs a bit more for group SMTP in the post alerter to make them easier to read and they each only test one thing.
Fixes bug introduced by bd25627198
What happens is we send notifications to everyone involved in the group inbox topic about new posts, however we pass the param `skip_send_email_to: email_addresses`. In the above commit I removed the group email address from this `email_addresses` array. This breaks the IMAP inbox because we email the group with the reply, and the IMAP sync tool finds this email and opens a new unrelated topic with it.
This PR fixes a race condition with the IMAP notification code. In the `Email::Receiver` we call the `NewPostManager` to create the post and enqueue jobs and sends alerts via `PostAlerter`. However, if the post alerter reaches the `notify_pm_users` and the `group_notifying_via_smtp` method _before_ the incoming email is updated with the post and topic, we unnecessarily send a notification to the person who just posted. The result of this is that the IMAP syncer re-imports the email sent to the user about their own post, which looks like this in the group inbox:
To fix this, we skip the jobs enqueued by `NewPostManager` and only enqueue them with `PostJobsEnqueuer` manually _after_ the incoming email record has been updated with the post and topic.
Other improvements:
* Moved code to calculate email addresses from `IncomingEmail` records into the topic, with a group passed in, for easier testing and debugging. It is not the responsibility of the post alerter to figure this stuff out.
* Add shortcut methods on `IncomingEmail` to split or provide an empty array for to and cc addresses to avoid repetition.
* FEATURE: don't notify about changed tags for a private message
Only staff members observing specific tag should receive a notification
* FIX: remove other category which is not used
* FIX: improved specs to ensure that revise was succesful
