What is this change required?
I noticed that actions in `SidebarSectionsController` resulted in
lots of N+1 queries problem and I wanted a solution to
prevent such problems without having to write N+1 queries tests. I have
also used strict loading for `SidebarSection` queries in performance
sensitive spots.
Note that in this commit, I have also set `config.active_record.action_on_strict_loading_violation = :log`
for the production environment so that we have more visibility of
potential N+1 queries problem in the logs. In development and test
environment, we're sticking with the default of raising an error.
* DEV: move sidebar community section to database
Before, community section was hard-coded. In the future, we are planning to allow admins to edit it. Therefore, it has to be moved to database to `custom_sections` table.
Few steps and simplifications has to be made:
- custom section was hidden behind `enable_custom_sidebar_sections` feature flag. It has to be deleted so all forums, see community section;
- migration to add `section_type` column to sidebar section to show it is a special type;
- migration to add `segment` column to sidebar links to determine if link should be displayed in primary section or in more section;
- simplify more section to have one level only (secondary section links are merged);
- ensure that links like `everything` are correctly tracking state;
- make user an anonymous links position consistence. For example, from now on `faq` link for user and anonymous is visible in more tab;
- delete old community-section template.
Previously, public custom sections were only visible to logged-in users. In this PR, we are making them visible to anonymous as well.
The reason is that Community Section will be moved into custom section model to be easily editable by admins.
Not eager loading was resulting in the N+1 queries problem when
serializing with the `CurrentUserSerializer` as
`CurrentUserSerializer#sidebar_sections` serializes the sections with
`SidebarSectionSerializer` which fetches all the `SidebarUrl` records
for each `SidebarSection` record.
This commit introduces a few experimental changes to the New topics list and "Everything" link in the sidebar:
1. Make the New topics list include unread topics
2. Make the Everything section in the sidebar link to the New topics list (`/new`)
3. Remove "unread" or "new" text next to the count and keep the count
4. The count is a sum of new and unread topics counts
All of these of changes are behind an off-by-default feature flag. I've not written extensive tests for these changes because they're highly experimental.
Internal topic: t/77234.
This commit removes all references to the
`redesigned_user_page_nav_enabled` which was used as a feature flag for
developing the new user profile navigation menu previously.
With the introduction of the sidebar navigation menu, the design team at
Discourse redesigned the user profile navigation to better coexist with
the sidebar.
Remove the per user groups based site setting in favor of a global site setting as we want to roll the glimmer topic timeline out to anon users as well as site users.
- Add `enable_experimental_topic_timeline` site setting
- Remove `enable_experimental_topic_timeline_groups` site setting
Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
This new site setting replaces the
`enable_experimental_sidebar_hamburger` and `enable_sidebar` site
settings as the sidebar feature exits the experimental phase.
Note that we're replacing this without depreciation since the previous
site setting was considered experimental.

In this PR, we introduced an option, that when all authenticators are disabled, but backup codes still exists, user can authenticate with those backup codes. This was reverted as this is not expected behavior.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/18982
Instead, when the last authenticator is deleted, backup codes should be deleted as well. Because this disables 2fa, user is asked to confirm that action by typing text.
In addition, UI for 2fa preferences was refreshed.
User options were serialized at the root level of CurrentUserSerializer,
but UserSerializer has a user_option field. This inconsistency caused
issues in the past because user_option fields had to be duplicated on
the frontend.
In an effort to modernize our codebase to the latest Ember version we have selected the Topic Timeline as a candidate to be refactored. The topic timeline component was originally built with `Widgets` and this PR will upgrade it to `Glimmer Components`.
The refactored timeline is hidden by default behind a group flag, `SiteSetting.enable_experimental_topic_timeline_groups`. Being part of a group included in this site setting will make the new timeline available for testing.
## Other points of interest
This PR introduces a `Draggable Modifier` available to all components, which will take the place of the existing _drag functionality_ exclusive to widgets.
It can be included like so:
```
{{draggable didStartDrag=@didStartDrag didEndDrag=@didEndDrag dragMove=@dragMove }}
```
Users who can access the review queue can claim a pending reviewable(s) which means that the claimed reviewable(s) can only be handled by the user who claimed it. Currently, we show claimed reviewables in the user menu, but this can be annoying for other reviewers because they can't do anything about a reviewable claimed by someone. So this PR makes sure that we only show in the user menu reviewables that are claimed by nobody or claimed by the current user.
Internal topic: t/77235.
This PR adds separate notification indicators for PMs and reviewables that have arrived since the last time the user opened the notifications menu.
The PM indicator is the strongest one of all three indicators followed by the reviewable indicator and then finally the blue indicator. This means that if there's a new PM and a new reviewable, then the PM indicator will be shown.

Internal topic: t/82995.
Currently, we have available three 2fa methods:
- Token-Based Authenticators
- Physical Security Keys
- Two-Factor Backup Codes
If the first two are deleted, user lose visibility of their backup codes, which suggests that 2fa is disabled.
However, when they try to authenticate, the account is locked, and they have to ask admin to fix that problem.
This PR is fixing the issue. User still sees backup codes in their panel and can use them to authenticate.
In next PR, I will improve UI to clearly notify the user when 2fa is fully disabled and when it is still active.
Since the system user is a regular user, it can have its
`allow_private_messages` user option turned off, which
with our current `can_send_private_message?(Discourse.system_user)`
check inside the CurrentUserSerializer, will prevent any
user from sending messages in the UI if the system user is not
accepting PMs.
This commit adds a new `can_send_private_messages?` method to
the Guardian, which can be used in serializers and not depend
on the system user. When the user actually sends a message
we still rely on the old `can_send_private_message?(target)`
call to see if they are allowed to send the message to the target.
The new method is just to say they can "generally" send
private messages.
The previous sidebar default tags and categories implementation did not
allow for a user to configure their sidebar to have no categories or
tags. This commit changes how the defaults are applied. When a user is being created,
we create the SidebarSectionLink records based on the `default_sidebar_categories` and
`default_sidebar_tags` site settings. SidebarSectionLink records are
only created for categories and tags which the user has visibility on at
the point of user creation.
With this change, we're also adding the ability for admins to apply
changes to the `default_sidebar_categories` and `default_sidebar_tags`
site settings historically when changing their site setting. When a new
category/tag has been added to the default, the new category/tag will be
added to the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the changes historically.
Like wise when a tag/category is removed, the tag/category will be
removed from the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the
changes historically.

Before, `sidebar_list_destination` was an attribute on UserOptionSerializer. The problem was that this attribute was added to user model only when the user entered the preferences panel. We want that attribute to be available all the time, therefore it was moved to CurrentUserSerializer.
This commit introduces a new framework for building user tutorials as
popups using the Tippy JS library. Currently, the new framework is used
to replace the old notification spotlight and tips and show a new one
related to the topic timeline.
All popups follow the same structure and have a title, a description and
two buttons for either dismissing just the current tip or all of them
at once.
The state of all seen popups is stored in a user option. Updating
skip_new_user_tips will automatically update the list of seen popups
accordingly.
By default, we won't include associated account ids in current user serializer. If the new hidden site setting `include_associated_account_ids` is enabled then we will add it in the serializer.
This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
This commits introduces a new SiteSetting.enable_new_user_profile_nav_groups
feature flag. When configured, users of the configured groups will see
the new user page navigation links.
As of this commit, only the user activity navigation link has been
converted to the newly proposed dropdown of navigation links.
Mobile support has not been considered.
Each new user menu notifications should have their own count. Therefore, we need to include all types to serializer and not only `grouped_unread_high_priority_notifications`
Additional PR will be created for chat and assign plugin, as they will have to switch to `grouped_unread_notifications` as well.
Previously, PM only tags were being routed to the public topic list with
the tag added as a filter. However, the public topic list does not fetch
PMs and hence PM only tags did not provide any value when added to the
Sidebar. This commit changes that by allowing the client to
differentiate PM only tag and thus routes the link to the PM tags show
route.
Counts for PM only tags section links are not supported as of this
commit and will be added in a follow up commit.
Some of the changes in this commit are extracted from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17379.
The bookmarks tab in the new user menu is different from the other tabs in that it can display a mixture of notifications and bookmarks. When there are unread bookmark reminder notifications, the tab displays all of these notifications at the top and fills the remaining space in the menu with the rest of the bookmarks. The bubble/badge count on the bookmarks tab indicates how many unread bookmark reminder notifications there are.
On the technical aspect, since this commit introduces a new `bookmark-item` component, we've done some refactoring so that all 3 "item" components (`notification-item`, `reviewable-item` and the new `bookmark-item`) inherit from a base component and get identical HTML structure so they all look consistent.
Internal tickets: t70584 and t65045.
This commit removes the ability to enable/disable the Sidebar on a per
user basis and introduces a site wide setting. For testing purposes, sidebar can be enabled/disabled via the `enable_sidebar=1` or `enable_sidebar=0` query param.
Before, whispers were only available for staff members.
Config has been changed to allow to configure privileged groups with access to whispers. Post migration was added to move from the old setting into the new one.
I considered having a boolean column `whisperer` on user model similar to `admin/moderator` for performance reason. Finally, I decided to keep looking for groups as queries are only done for current user and didn't notice any N+1 queries.
As part of this commit, a bug where updating a tag's notification level on the server side does not update the state of the user's tag notification levels on the client side is fixed too.
* hidden siteSetting to enable experimental sidebar
* user preference to enable experimental sidebar
* `experimental_sidebar_enabled` attribute for current user
* Empty glimmer component for Sidebar
The user can select what happens with a bookamrk after it expires. New
option allow bookmark's reminder to be kept even after it has expired.
After a bookmark's reminder notification is created, the reminder date
will be highlighted in red until the user resets the reminder date.
User can do that using the new Clear Reminder button from the dropdown.
When parent category or grandparent category is muted, then category should be muted as well.
Still, it can be overridden by setting individual subcategory notification level.
CategoryUser record is not created, mute for subcategories is purely virtual.
Currently when a user creates posts that are moderated (for whatever
reason), a popup is displayed saying the post needs approval and the
total number of the user’s pending posts. But then this piece of
information is kind of lost and there is nowhere for the user to know
what are their pending posts or how many there are.
This patch solves this issue by adding a new “Pending” section to the
user’s activity page when there are some pending posts to display. When
there are none, then the “Pending” section isn’t displayed at all.
It allows saving local date to calendar.
Modal is giving option to pick between ics and google. User choice can be remembered as a default for the next actions.
In order to include the new/unread count in the browse more message
under suggested topics, a couple of technical changes have to be made.
1. `PrivateMessageTopicTrackingState` is now auto-injected which is
similar to how it is done for `TopicTrackingState`. This is done so
we don't have to attempt to pass the `PrivateMessageTopicTrackingState`
object multiple levels down into the suggested-topics component. While
the object is auto-injected, we only fetch the initial state and start
tracking when the relevant private messages routes has been hit and only
when a private message's suggested topics is loaded. This is
done as we do not want to add the extra overhead of fetching the inital
state to all page loads but instead wait till the private messages
routes are hit.
2. Previously, we would stop tracking once the `user-private-messages`
route has been deactivated. However, that is not ideal since
navigating out of the route and back means we send an API call to the
server each time. Since `PrivateMessageTopicTrackingState` is kept in
sync cheaply via messageBus, we can just continue to track the state
even if the user has navigated away from the relevant stages.
This commit adds the number of drafts a user has next to the "Draft"
label in the user preferences menu and activity tab. The count is
updated via MessageBus when a draft is created or destroyed.
