If dashboard advice has already been acted on, an admin may want to find out what the advice was, who acted on it, and when. Linking to the staff action logs should help in tracking down this information.
The current copy has caused some confusion that admins can only create 5 topics or 30 posts. Update copy to make it clearer this is a recommended minimum, not a limit.
All admins receive the Dashboard Advice PM. If one admin takes action on the advice, future admins who follow the link in the PM will see no advice on the dashboard. This has caused some confusion, so we've updated the text to make this clearer.
This renames the DISCOURSE_ENV_HOST var @eviltrout introduced in 95a9a544
to DISCOURSE_ENV_HOSTS and allows for a comma delimited list of hosts
This is useful for testing plugins and customized host names
This makes sure that all processes that fork off the master have a fully
operation schema cache.
In Rails 6, schema cache is now bolted to the connection pool. This change
ensures the cache on all pools is fully populated prior to forking.
The bolting of cache to connection pool does lead to some strange cases
where a connection can "steal" the cache from another connection, which
can cause stuff to possibly hang or deadlock. This change minimizes the risk
of this happening cause it is already primed.
We make a STRONG assumption that the schema is always the same on all sites
when we spin up a multisite cluster.
Rails 6 seems to introduce a whitelist of allowed hosts. I personally
use `dev.local` for development and this no longer works.
This introduces a new ENV variable, `DISCOURSE_DEV_HOST`. If present,
it will whitelist that host for development mode.
* Adjustments to pass specs on Rails 6.0.0
* Use classic autoloader instead of Zeitwerk
* Update Rails 6.0.0 deprecated methods
* Rails 6.0.0 not allowing column with integer name
* Drop freedom_patches/rails6.rb
* Default value for trigger_transactional_callbacks? is true
* Bump rspec-rails version to 4.0.0.beta2
New site setting: `embed_any_origin` that will send postMessages to
wildcard origins `*` instead of the referer.
Most of the time you won't want to do this, so the setting is default to
`false`. However, there are certain situations where you want to allow
embedding to send post messages when there is no HTTP REFERER.
For example, if you created a native mobile app and you wanted to embed a list
of Discourse topics as HTML. In the code your HTML would be a
static file/string, which would not be able to send a referer. In this
case, the site setting will allow the embed to work.
From a security standpoint we currently only use `postMessage` to send
data about the size of the HTML document and scroll position, so it
should be enable if required with minimal security ramifications.
* Extract QuickAccessPanel from UserNotifications.
* FEATURE: Quick access panels in user menu.
This feature adds quick access panels for bookmarks and personal
messages. It allows uses to browse recent items directly in the user
menu, without being redirected to the full pages.
* REFACTOR: Use QuickAccessItem for messages.
Reusing `DefaultNotificationItem` feels nice but it actually requires a
lot of extra work that is not needed for a quick access item.
Also, `DefaultNotificationItem` shows an incorrect tooptip ("unread
private message"), and it is not trivial to remove / override that.
* Use a plain JS object instead.
An Ember object was required when `DefaultNotificationItem` was used.
* Prefix instead suffix `_` for private helpers.
* Set to null instead of deleting object keys.
JavaScript engines can optimize object property access based on the
object’s shape. https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/shapes-ics
* Change trivial try/catch to one-liners.
* Return the promise in case needs to be waited on.
* Refactor showAll to a link with href
* Store `emptyStatePlaceholderItemText` in state.
* Store items in Session singleton instead.
We can drop `staleItems` (and `findStaleItems`) altogether. Because
`(old) items === staleItems` when switching back to a quick access
panel.
* Add `limit` parameter to the `user_actions` API.
* Explicitly import Session instead.
* FEATURE: Add tl2 threshold for editing new posts
* Adds a new setting and for tl2 editing posts (30 days same as old value)
* Sets the tl0/tl1 editing period as 1 day
* FIX: Spec uses wrong setting
* Fix site setting on guardian spec
* FIX: post editing period specs
* Avoid shared examples
* Use update_columns to avoid callbacks on user during tests
If you click a (?) icon beside the reviewable status a pop up will
appear with expanded informatio that explains how the reviewable got its
score, and how it compares to system thresholds.
This commit introduces 2 features:
1. DISCOURSE_COMPRESS_ANON_CACHE (true|false, default false): this allows
you to optionally compress the anon cache body entries in Redis, can be
useful for high load sites with Redis that lives on a separate server to
to webs
2. DISCOURSE_ANON_CACHE_STORE_THRESHOLD (default 2), only pop entries into
redis if we observe them more than N times. This avoids situations where
a crawler can walk a big pile of topics and store them all in Redis never
to be used. Our default anon cache time for topics is only 60 seconds. Anon
cache is in place to avoid the "slashdot" effect where a single topic is
hit by 100s of people in one minute.
* FIX: User should get notified when a post is deleted
* FEATURE: Notify posters when restoring flagged posts
* Fix typo
Co-Authored-By: Régis Hanol <regis@hanol.fr>
* Improve tests
This reverts commit e805d44965.
We now have mechanisms in place to ensure heartbeat will always
be scheduled even if the scheduler is overloaded per: 098f938b
* The read indicator now shows up when no member has read the last post of the topic (written by a non-member)
* The read indicator works on mobile and receives live updates from message bus
* The icon we display in the topic list was changed
* Added a title to the indicator to indicate its purpose when hovering over it
Under extreme load on large databases certain regular jobs can take quite
a while to run. We need to ensure we never starve a sidekiq from running
mini scheduler, cause without it we are unable to queue stuff such as
heartbeat jobs.
- Adds support for iOS Universal Links via an `apple-app-site-association` endpoint
Adds support for Google Digital Asset Links at the `.well-known/assetlinks.json` endpoint
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989) [Undo revert] (#8024)""
This reverts commit 36425eb9f0.
* Fix: Show who read only if the attribute is enabled
* PERF: Precalculate the last post readed by a group member

* Expire redis keys after 3600 seconds
* Don't use redis to store the list of queues
This reverts commit 39c31a3d76.
Sorry about this, we have decided againse supporting 0-RTT directly in
core, this can be supported with similar hacks to this commit in a
plugin.
That said, we recommend against using a 0-RTT proxy for the Discourse
app due to inherit risk of replay attacks.
Previously, a regular user could not edit the title or category
of a topic if a hidden tag had already been applied.
This also stops hidden tag names from leaking in the error message.
* Reenable: "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989)"
This reverts commit 67f5cc1ce8.
* FIX: Read indicator only appears when the group setting is enabled
* Enable or disable read state based on group attribute
* When read state needs to be published, the minimum unread count is calculated in the topic query. This way, we can know if someone reads the last post
* The option can be enabled/disabled from the UI
* The read indicator will live-updated using message bus
* Show read indicator on every post
* The read indicator now shows read count and can be expanded to see user avatars
* Read count gets updated everytime someone reads a message
* Simplify topic-list read indicator logic
* Unsubscribe from message bus on willDestroyElement, removed unnecesarry values from post-menu, and added a comment to explain where does minimum_unread_count comes from
This adds a 1 minute rate limit to all JS error reporting per IP. Previously
we would only use the global rate limit.
This also introduces DISCOURSE_ENABLE_JS_ERROR_REPORTING, if it is set to
false then no JS error reporting will be allowed on the site.
* FEATURE: Incorporate PWA install prompt into Discourse UI
This is mainly done so Discourse forums stop nagging people to install
on the very first visits to a website.
We will prevent the native install "mini-info" bar from ever appearing,
capture the event that pops with it, and delay it until the user meets
our criteria, which currently is trust_level 1.
If the event happens and the user meets our criteria we show a Discourse
alert banner proposing the install to the user. Dismissal of the banner
is recorded so the user ins't bothered anymore on the same device.

Previously the default stack suppressor in rack-mini-profiler was excluding
the plugin directory.
This made islolating issues more complicated cause you needed to defer to
pp=full-backtrace which is both slow and noisy
If enabled, this will fire a webhook whenever a user's notification has
been created. This could potentially be a lot of data depending on your
forum, and should be used carefully since it includes everything all users
will see in their feeds.
This adds support for a `<d-topics-list>` tag you can embed in your site
that will be rendered as a list of discourse topics. Any attributes on
the tag will be passed as filters. For example:
`<d-topics-list discourse-url="URL" category="1234">` will filter to category 1234.
To use this feature, enable the `embed topics list` site setting. Then
on the site you want to embed, include the following javascript:
`<script
src="http://URL/javascripts/embed-topics.js"></script>`
Where `URL` is your discourse forum's URL.
Then include the `<d-topics-list discourse-url="URL">` tag in your HTML document and it will
be replaced with the list of topics.
There are 5 visibility levels (similar to group visibility)
public (default)
logged-in users
members only
staff
owners
Admins & group owners always have visibility to group members.
- Use query builder to improve readability
- Remove subquery, so that all `where` filters happen alongside the limit
- Add 'edited at' column to the report
This displays more useful messages for the most common issues we see:
- CSRF (when the user switches browser)
- Invalid IAT (when the server clock is wrong)
- OAuth::Unauthorized for OAuth1 providers, when the credentials are incorrect
This commit also stops earlier for disabled authenticators. Now we stop at the request phase, rather than the callback phase.
This feature (when enabled) will allow for invite_only sites to require
external authentication before they can redeem an invite.
- Created hidden site setting to toggle this
- Enables sending invites with local logins disabled
- OAuth button added to invite form
- Requires OAuth email address to match invite email address
- Prevents redeeming invite if OAuth authentication fails
The message_bus performs a fair amount of work prior to hijacking requests
this change ensures that if there is a situation where the server is flooded
message_bus will inform client to back off for 30 seconds + random(120 secs)
This back-off is ultra cheap and happens very early in the middleware.
It corrects a situation where a flood to message bus could cause the app
to become unresponsive
MessageBus update is here to ensure message_bus gem properly respects
Retry-After header and status 429.
Under normal state this code should never trigger, to disable raise the
value of DISCOURSE_REJECT_MESSAGE_BUS_QUEUE_SECONDS, default is to tell
message bus to go away if we are queueing for 100ms or longer
Enable the new setting "post excerpts in emails" to send excerpts
instead of complete posts in notification emails. Control the length of
excerpts with the "post excerpt maxlength" setting.
- Client-side censoring fixed for non-chrome browsers. (Regular expression rewritten to avoid lookback)
- Regex generation is now done on the server, to reduce repeated logic, and make it easier to extend in plugins
- Censor tests are moved to ruby, to ensure everything works end-to-end
- If "watched words regular expressions" is enabled, warn the admin when the generated regex is invalid
* UX: Rename "Keep Post" to "Keep Post Hidden" when hidden
This is based on this feedback:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-group-review-moderation/116478/19
When a post is hidden this makes the operation much more clear.
* REFACTOR: Better support for aliases for actions
Allow calls on alias actions and delegate to the original one.
This is less code but also simplifies tests where the action might
be "agree_and_keep" or "agree_and_keep_hidden" which are the same.
* REFACTOR: Rename SiteSetting.disable_edit_notifications to disable_system_edit_notifications
- The older name could cause some confusion because the setting does not disable all edit notifications, only system ones.
* FIX: Add frozen_string_literal: true in the migration
* DEV: Deprecate 'disable_edit_notifications'
This feature adds the ability to customize the HTML part of all emails using a custom HTML template and optionally some CSS to style it. The CSS will be parsed and converted into inline styles because CSS is poorly supported by email clients. When writing the custom HTML and CSS, be aware of what email clients support. Keep customizations very simple.
Customizations can be added and edited in Admin > Customize > Email Style.
Since the summary email is already heavily styled, there is a setting to disable custom styles for summary emails called "apply custom styles to digest" found in Admin > Settings > Email.
As part of this work, RTL locales are now rendered correctly for all emails.
This is useful when a backup is restored on a staging site or in a development environment. It also deletes all existing push subscriptions because they get invalid when the keys change.
* UX: Show a warning when admin clicks save without adding group when changing category permissions
* Use div rather than pseudo element
* Don't pass controller to component
* Use observer instead of a delay
* Refactor
* Rename to validator
* validator is much better than saveValidator
* FIX: Better error when SSO fails due to blank secret
* Update spec/requests/session_controller_spec.rb

* FEATURE: Add search operator to see all direct messages from a user
* Only show message if related messages >= 5
* Make "all messages" the hyperlink
* Review
This commit contains 3 features:
- FEATURE: Allow downloading watched words
This introduces a button that allows admins to download watched words per action in a `.txt` file.
- FEATURE: Allow clearing watched words in bulk
This adds a "Clear All" button that clears all deleted words per action (e.g. block, flag etc.)
- FEATURE: List all blocked words contained in the post when it's blocked
When a post is rejected because it contains one or more blocked words, the error message now lists all the blocked words contained in the post.
-------
This also changes the format of the file for importing watched words from `.csv` to `.txt` so it becomes inconsistent with the extension of the file when watched words are exported.
* FEATURE: Allow choice of category when making a PM public
Previously it would default to uncategorized, which was not ideal on
some forums. This gives the staff member more choice about what they'd
like to do.
* Make the optional category more explicit
* Joffrey's feedback
Previously, users who had any penalties (were silenced or suspended)
were not allowed to promote to Trust Level 3.
There is also a more subtle change here: if users were silenced or
suspended and then the operation was reverted (user was un-silenced
or un-suspended), then it would have been like the user was never
penalized in the first place. This is no longer the case. To forgive a
user earlier, administrators can use "Clear Penalty History" feature.
Lastly, Jobs::UnsilenceUsers will automatically unsilence any users who
should no longer be silenced (silenced_till < now()). This made it so
silence_count - unsilence_count == 0 for any user who is not silenced,
which defeated the purpose of this TL3 requirement.
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: admin/user exports are compressed using the zip format (#7784)""
This reverts commit f89bd55576.
* Replace .tar.zip with .zip
- adds a migration renaming FA4 icon names in badges
- allows all icons to be used in badges (previously was limited to icons prefixed with fa-)
- renames remaining FA 4.7 icons equivalents
Enabling this setting prevents notifications when the system downloads hotlinked images. This stops an onslaught of notifications when old posts are rebaked. It does not affect regular edit notifications
This fixes the problem where if a route ends with a dynamic segment and the segment contains a period e.g. `my.name`, `name` is interpreted as the format. This applies a default format constraints `/(json|html)/` on all routes. If you'd like a route to have a different format constraints, you can do something like this:
```ruby
get "your-route" => "your_controlller#method", constraints: { format: /(rss|xml)/ }
#or
get "your-route" => "your_controlller#method", constraints: { format: :xml }
```
* FEATURE: Allow customization of robots.txt
This allows admins to customize/override the content of the robots.txt
file at /admin/customize/robots. That page is not linked to anywhere in
the UI -- admins have to manually type the URL to access that page.
* use Ember.computed.not
* Jeff feedback
* Feedback
* Remove unused import
And don't load javascript assets if plugin is disabled.
* precompile auto generated plugin js assets
* SPEC: remove spec test functions
* remove plugin js from test_helper

* DEV: using equality is slightly easier to read than inequality
Co-Authored-By: Régis Hanol <regis@hanol.fr>
* DEV: use `select` method instead of `find_all` for readability
Co-Authored-By: Régis Hanol <regis@hanol.fr>
This is a low severity security fix because it requires a logged in
admin user to update a site setting via the API directly to an invalid
value.
The fix adds validation for the affected site settings, as well as a
secondary fix to prevent injection in the event of bad data somehow
already exists.
* FEATURE: admin/user exports are compressed using the zip format
* Update translations. Theme exporter now exports .zip file. Theme importer supports .zip and .gz files
* Fix controller test, updated locale and skip saving the csv export to disk
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/121589
This new setting option lets group owners message/mention large groups
without granting that privilege to all members.
Groups can now be marked as visible to "logged on users". All automatic groups (except `everyone`) are now visible to "logged on users", previously they were marked as public but suppressed in the group page for non-staff.
This changes the label and behaviour of the "No, keep" button in the confirmation modal when user cancels a draft while on a different topic. The new button label is "No, save draft", and when clicked, the composer will be dismissed without destroying the draft.
This allows you to temporarily disable components without having to remove them from a theme.
This feature is very handy when doing quick fix engineering.
The global setting disable_search_queue_threshold
(DISCOURSE_DISABLE_SEARCH_QUEUE_THRESHOLD) which default to 1 second was
added.
This protection ensures that when the application is unable to keep up with
requests it will simply turn off search till it is not backed up.
To disable this protection set this to 0.
Adds a second factor landing page that centralizes a user's second factor configuration.
This contains both TOTP and Backup, and also allows multiple TOTP tokens to be registered and organized by a name. Access to this page is authenticated via password, and cached for 30 minutes via a secure session.
* DEV: Add a new way to run specs in parallel with better output
This commit:
1. adds a new executable, `bin/interleaved_rspec` which works much like
`rspec`, but runs the tests in parallel.
2. adds a rake task, `rake interleaved:spec` which runs the whole test
suite.
3. makes autospec use this new wrapper by default. You can disable this
by running `PARALLEL_SPEC=0 rake autospec`.
It works much like the `parallel_tests` gem (and relies on it), but
makes each subprocess use a machine-readable formatter and parses this
output in order to provide a better overall summary.
(It's called interleaved, because parallel was taken and naming is
hard).
* Make popen3 invocation safer
* Use FileUtils instead of shelling out
* DRY up reporter
* Moved summary logic into Reporter
* s/interleaved/turbo/g
* Move Reporter into its own file
* Moved run into its own class
* Moved Runner into its own file
* Move JsonRowsFormatter under TurboTests
* Join on threads at the end
* Acted on feedback from eviltrout
