* DEV: Remove HTML setting type and sanitization logic.
We concluded that we don't want settings to contain HTML, so I'm removing the setting type and sanitization logic. Additionally, we no longer allow the global-notice text to contain HTML.
I searched for usages of this setting type in the `all-the-plugins` repo and found none, so I haven't added a migration for existing settings.
* Mark Global notices containing links as HTML Safe.
To add an extra layer of security, we sanitize settings before shipping them to the client. We don't sanitize those that have the "html" type.
The CookedPostProcessor already uses Loofah for sanitization, so I chose to also use it for this. I added it to our gemfile since we installed it as a transitive dependency.
When a category is removed from `auto_watch_category` we are removing
CategoryUser. However, there are still TopicUser with notification level
set to `watching` which was inherited from Category.
We should move them back to `regular` unless they were modified by a user.
Like "default watching" and "default tracking" categories option now the "regular" categories support is added. It will be useful for sites that are muted by default. The user option will be displayed only if `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting is enabled.
The previous fix (f43c0a5d85) wasn't working for images that were already uploaded.
The "metadata" (eg. 'for_*' and 'secure' attributes) were not added to existing uploads.
Also used 'Upload.get_from_url' is the admin/site_setting controller to properly retrieve
an upload from its URL.
Fixed the Upload::URL_REGEX to use the \h (hexadecimal) for the SHA
Follow-up-to: f43c0a5d85
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
This change-set allows setting different defaults for different locales.
It also:
- Adds extensive testing around site setting validation
- raises deprecation error if site setting has the default property based on env
- relocated site settings for dev and tests in the initializer
- deprecated client_setting in the site setting's loading process
- ensure it raises when a enum site setting being set
- default_locale is promoted to `required` category.
- fixes incorrect default setting and validation
- fixes ensure type check for site settings
- creates a benchmark for site setting
- sets reasonable defaults for Chinese
All models are now using ActiveModel::ForbiddenAttributesProtection, which shifts the responsibility for parameter whitelisting for mass-assignments from the model to the controller. attr_accessible has been disabled and removed as this functionality replaces that.
The require_parameters method in the ApplicationController has been removed in favor of strong_parameters' #require method.
It is important to note that there is still some refactoring required to get all parameters to pass through #require and #permit so that we can guarantee that parameter values are scalar. Currently strong_parameters, in most cases, is only being utilized to require parameters and to whitelist the few places that do mass-assignments.
