When the Forever option is selected for suspending a user, the user is suspended for 1000 years. Without customizing the site’s text, this time period is displayed to the user in the suspension email that is sent to the user, and if the user attempts to log back into the site. Telling someone that they have been suspended for 1000 years seems likely to come across as a bad attempt at humour.
This PR special case messages when a user suspended or silenced forever.
We now use the group's full name in group SMTP emails, so we are dropping the via #{site_name}. If group owners still want this they can just change the full name of the group.
Configuring staged users to watch categories and tags is a way to sign
them up to get many emails. These emails may be unwanted and get marked
as spam, hurting the site's email deliverability.
Users can opt-in to email notifications by logging on to their
account and configuring their own preferences.
If staff need to be able to configure these preferences on behalf of
staged users, the "allow changing staged user tracking" site setting
can be enabled. Default is to not allow it.

Currently when bulk-awarding a badge that can be granted multiple times, users in the CSV file are granted the badge once no matter how many times they're listed in the file and only if they don't have the badge already.
This PR adds a new option to the Badge Bulk Award feature so that it's possible to grant users a badge even if they already have the badge and as many times as they appear in the CSV file.
* FEATURE: add penalty history when silencing a user
Display penalty history (last 6 months) when silencing/suspending a user
* FEATURE: allow default penalty values to be chosen
Adds a site setting that designates default penalty values in hours.
Silence/suspend modals will auto-fill in the default values, but otherwise
will still allow moderators to pick and overwrite values as normal.
First silence/suspend: first value
Second silence/suspend: second value
etc.
Penalty counts are forgiven at the same rate as tl3 promotion requirements do.

Users can invite people to topics from secured category, but they will
not be redirected to the topic after signing up unless they have the
permissions to view the topic. This commit shows a warning when invite
is saved if the topic is in a secured category and none of the invite
groups are allowed to see it.
Skip group SMTP email (and add log) if:
* topic is deleted
* post is deleted
* smtp has been disabled for the group
Skip without log if:
* enable_smtp site setting is false
* disable_emails site setting is yes

This PR makes several changes to the group SMTP email contents to make it look more like a support inbox message.
* Remove the context posts, they only add clutter to the email and replies
* Display email addresses of staged users instead of odd generated usernames
* Add a "please reply above this line" message to sent emails
* FEATURE: Staff can receive pending user reminders more frequently.
We now express the "pending_users_reminder_delay" in minutes instead of hours so staff can have finer control over the delay.
We need to keep in mind that the reminders could still take up to 20 minutes, even when using a lower value. We send them from a scheduled job.
* Migrate to a new site setting for the reminders delay
This was previously broken by 59ef48c0b9 (#11425, #11424).
Centralize the logic into the exception controller, which avoids the problematic bug and makes it easy to add additional detailed 404 pages in the future.
We already reject email replies to public topics via `SiteSetting.disallow_reply_by_email_after_days` and raising the `OldDestinationError`. This PR introduces similar behaviour for group inboxes, but without the rejection, and **only when SMTP is enabled for the group**.
If a reply is sent via email and the post is older than `SiteSetting.disallow_reply_by_email_after_days` days ago, then we create a new topic instead of making a reply in the old one and link back to the original topic. This is done to prevent long running group inbox discussions.
Subclasses must call #delete_user_actions inside build_actions to support user deletion. The method adds a delete user bundle, which has a delete and a delete + block option. Every subclass is responsible for implementing these actions.
It was not clear that replace watched words can be used to replace text
with URLs. This introduces a new watched word type that makes it easier
to understand.
Refactors `TrustLevel` and moves translations from server to client
Additional changes:
* "staff" and "admin" wasn't translatable in site settings
* it replaces a concatenated string with a translation
* uses translation for trust levels in users_by_trust_level report
* adds a DB migration to rename keys of translation overrides affected by this commit
When a topic is fully merged into another topic we close it. Now we want also to set a timer for deleting this topic. By default, stub topics will be deleted in 7 days. Users can change this period or disable auto-deleting by setting the period to 0.
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.
It used to allow adding email addresses to a group even if invites were
disabled for the site. This does not allow user to input email address
if they cannot invite.
The second thing this commit improves is the message that is displayed
to the user when they hit the invite rate limit.
We have a few places in the code where we need to validate various email related settings, and will have another soon with the improved group email settings UI. This PR introduces a class which can validate POP3, IMAP, and SMTP credentials and also provide a friendly error message for issues if they must be presented to an end user.
This PR does not change any existing code to use the new service. I have added a TODO to change POP3 validation and the email test rake task to use the new validator post-release.
* FIX: Ensure the same email cannot be invited twice
When creating a new invite with a duplicated email, the old invite will
be updated and returned. When updating an invite with a duplicated email
address, an error will be returned.
* FIX: not Ember helper does not exist
* FIX: Sync can_invite_to_forum? and can_invite_to?
The two methods should perform the same basic set of checks, such as
check must_approve_users site setting.
Ideally, one of the methods would call the other one or be merged and
that will happen in the future.
* FIX: Show invite to group if user is group owner
Currently, when the target is not available we're returning the error message "`You are not permitted to view the requested resource`" which is not clear.
This setting allows admin to de/activate automatic trimming of incoming email.
There are instances where it does wonders in trimming all the garbage content and other
instances where it's so bad that it trims the most important part of the email.
FIX: don't remove hidden content using the style attribute when converting HTML to Markdown.
The regexp used was doing more harm than good. It was way too broad.
FIX: properly elide signatures from emails sent with Front App.
This is fairly safe as Front App nicely identifies signatures in the HTML part.
This filter hides reviewables with a score lower than the "reviewable_low_priority_threshold" setting. We only use reviewables that already met this threshold to calculate the Medium and High priority filters.
The old share modal used to host both share and invite functionality,
under two tabs. The new "Share Topic" modal can be used only for
sharing, but has a link to the invite modal.
Among the sharing methods, there is also "Notify" which points out
that existing users will simply be notified (this was not clear
before). Staff members can notify as many users as they want, but
regular users are restricted to one at a time, no more than
max_topic_invitations_per_day. The user will not receive another
notification if they have been notified of the same topic in past hour.
The "Create Invite" modal also suffered some changes: the two radio
boxes for selecting the type (invite or email) have been replaced by a
single checkbox (is email?) and then the two labels about emails have
been replaced by a single one, some fields were reordered and the
advanced options toggle was moved to the bottom right of the modal.
* FEATURE: Review every post using the review queue.
If the `review_every_post` setting is enabled, posts created and edited by regular uses are sent to the review queue so staff can review them. We'll skip PMs and posts created or edited by TL4 or staff users.
Staff can choose to:
- Approve the post (nothing happens)
- Approve and restore the post (if deleted)
- Approve and unhide the post (if hidden)
- Reject and delete it
- Reject and keep deleted (if deleted)
- Reject and suspend the user
- Reject and silence the user

There is a category setting that enforces 1 or more tags must be added to a topic from a specific tag group before creating it. This validation was not being run before the topic was being sent to a review queue for categories that have that setting enabled.
There was an existing validation in `TopicCreator` but it was not correct; it was only validating when the tags did _not_ exist and also only happened on `create`. I now run the validation in `TopicCreator.valid?`
I also improved the error message shown to the user when they have not added the tags required (showing the tag names from the tag group), and changed the composer tag selector to not show "optional" if there are N tags required from a certain group.
The server used to respond with a generic 'error, contact admin' message
which did not offer any hint what the error was. This happened even when
the error could be easily corrected by the user (for example, if they
chose a very common password).
We introduced a cap on the number of bookmarks the user can add in be145ccf2f. However this has caused unintended side effects; when the `jobs/scheduled/bookmark_reminder_notifications.rb` runs we get this error for users who already had more bookmarks than the limit:
> Job exception: Validation failed: Sorry, you have too many bookmarks, visit #{url}/my/activity/bookmarks to remove some.
This is because the `clear_reminder!` call was triggering a bookmark validation, which raised an error because the user already had to many, holding up other reminders.
This PR also adds `max_bookmarks_per_user` hidden site setting (default 2000). This replaces the BOOKMARK_LIMIT const so we can raise it for certain sites.
This feature used to be controlled by two site settings
enable_personal_email_messages and min_trust_to_send_email_messages.
I removed enable_personal_email_messages and unhide
min_trust_to_send_email_messages to simplify the process of
enabling / disabling this feature.
This PR allows invitations to be used when the DiscourseConnect SSO is enabled for a site (`enable_discourse_connect`) and local logins are disabled. Previously invites could not be accepted with SSO enabled simply because we did not have the code paths to handle that logic.
The invitation methods that are supported include:
* Inviting people to groups via email address
* Inviting people to topics via email address
* Using invitation links generated by the Invite Users UI in the /my/invited/pending route
The flow works like this:
1. User visits an invite URL
2. The normal invitation validations (redemptions/expiry) happen at that point
3. We store the invite key in a secure session
4. The user clicks "Accept Invitation and Continue" (see below)
5. The user is redirected to /session/sso then to the SSO provider URL then back to /session/sso_login
6. We retrieve the invite based on the invite key in secure session. We revalidate the invitation. We show an error to the user if it is not valid. An additional check here for invites with an email specified is to check the SSO email matches the invite email
7. If the invite is OK we create the user via the normal SSO methods
8. We redeem the invite and activate the user. We clear the invite key in secure session.
9. If the invite had a topic we redirect the user there, otherwise we redirect to /
Note that we decided for SSO-based invites the `must_approve_users` site setting is ignored, because the invite is a form of pre-approval, and because regular non-staff users cannot send out email invites or generally invite to the forum in this case.
Also deletes some group invite checks as per https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12353
Staff can send a post to the review queue by clicking the "Flag Post" button next to "Take Action...". Clicking it flags the post using the "Notify moderators" score type and hides it. A custom message will be sent to the user.
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
* FIX: Do not show expired invites under Pending tab
* DEV: Controller action was renamed in previous commit
* FEATURE: Add 'Expired' tab to invites
* FEATURE: Refresh model after removing expired invites
* FEATURE: Do not immediately add invite to the list
Opening the 'create-invite' modal used to automatically generate an
invite to reserve an invite link. If the user did not save it and
closed the modal, the invite would be destroyed. This operations caused
the invite list to change in the background and confuse users.
* FEATURE: Sort redeemed users by creation time
* UX: Improve show / hide advanced options link

We were sending 2 emails for user silencing if a message was provided in the UI. Also always send email for user silence and user suspend with reason regardless of whether message provided.
though other participants are not in allowed list)
If you create an allowlist of users who can PM you, and use the function
“Only specific users can send me private messages”, then you can’t be
added to group messages unless everyone in that message is already in
your allow list.
This commit allows user to be added to a group message even when other
participants are not in allowed list
This commit includes other various improvements to watched words.
auto_silence_first_post_regex site setting was removed because it overlapped
with 'require approval' watched words.
This setting is confusing admins, it is now hidden by default
It only applies to major updates of the rendering engine or imports and
very infrequently needs tweaking
* DEV: Show warning message when using ember css selectors
When editing the theme css via the admin UI a warning message
will be displayed if it detects that the `#emberXXX` or `.ember-view`
css selectors are being used. These are dynamic selectors that ember
generates, but they can change so they should not be used.
* Update error message text to be more helpful
* Display a warning instead of erroring out
This allows the theme to still be saved, but a warning is displayed.
Updated the tests to check for the error message.
Updated the pre tags css so that it wraps for long messages.
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
Issue originally reported in https://meta.discourse.org/t/bypass-sso-by-adding-unkown-email-to-group/177339
Inviting people via email address to a group when SSO is enabled (or local logins are disabled) led to a situation where user records were being created bypassing single sign-on.
We already prevent that in most places. This adds required checks to `GroupsController`.
Feature for `Must Approve Users` setup. When a user is rejected, a staff member can optionally set a reason for audit purposes. In addition, feedback email can be sent to the user.

You can let non-staff users use shared drafts by modifying the `shared_drafts_min_trust_level` site setting. These users must have access to the shared draft category.
This adds a new min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore site setting that enables admins to control the point at which a user is allowed to ignore other users.
* FEATURE: display error if Oneboxing fails due to HTTP error
- display warning if onebox URL is unresolvable
- display warning if attributes are missing
* FEATURE: Use new Instagram oEmbed endpoint if access token is configured
Instagram requires an Access Token to access their oEmbed endpoint. The requirements (from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed/) are as follows:
- a Facebook Developer account, which you can create at developers.facebook.com
- a registered Facebook app
- the oEmbed Product added to the app
- an Access Token
- The Facebook app must be in Live Mode
The generated Access Token, once added to SiteSetting.facebook_app_access_token, will be passed to onebox. Onebox can then use this token to access the oEmbed endpoint to generate a onebox for Instagram.

It used to simply say "title is invalid" without giving any hint what
the problem could be. This commit adds different errors messages for
all caps titles, low entropy titles or titles with very long words.
Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from Universal Analytics v3 `analytics.js` to v4 `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. We're giving admins the option to stay on the v3 API or migrate to v4. Admins can change the implementation they're using via the `ga_version` site setting. Eventually Google will deprecate v3, but our implementation gives admins the choice on what to use for now.
We chose this implementation to make the change less error prone, as many site admins are using custom events via the v3 UA API. With the site stetting defaulted to `v3_analytics`, site analytics won't break until the admin is ready to make the migration.
Additionally, in the v4 implementation, we do not enable automatic pageview tracking (on by default in the v4 API). Instead we rely on Discourse's page change API to report pageviews on transition to avoid double-tracking.
It used to simply say "not allowed" without giving any hint what the
problem could be. This commit refactors the code and tries to improve
readability.
There are issues around displaying images on published pages when secure media is enabled. This PR temporarily makes it appear as if published pages are enabled if secure media is also enabled.
When the linked topic is created we'll not hardcode the topic title and
let onebox work its magic instead so that the title can be updated
automatically.
Users could be silenced or suspended by two staff members at the same time and
would not be aware of it. This commit shows an error message if another penalty
has been applied.
This commit adds a site setting `auto_close_topics_create_linked_topic`
which when enabled works in conjunction with `auto_close_topics_post_count`
setting and creates a new linked topic for the topic just closed.
The auto-created new topic contains a link for all the previous topics
and the topic titles are appended with `(Part {n})`.
The setting is enabled by default.
We remove the slow mode composer message and provide better messages when rejecting new posts and edits. The client now validates if the user tries to post again immediately. Finally, we replaced the `hourglass-end` icon with the `hourglass-start` one.
Most proxies out there will work with chunked encoding transfer. However
some proxies buffer, causing large delays which in turn force the message
bus client to disable chunked encoding. This wastes a request to the message
bus causing superfluous load on the server.
Also
- enableLongPolling is already default true in the client, no need to set it
- remove confusing comment about zepto
Before deleting a topic that has a high number of views (default of 5000), the user will be prompted with a confirmation popup. This works for all delete buttons on the topic located in: topic-timeline, topic-admin-menu, topic-footer-buttons, and post-menu if the post's ID is 1.
The delete button will be disabled while deletion is in progress, to prevent any unwanted behavior.
A site setting is also available to change the minimum amount of views required to display the confirmation popup.
All kudos are going to @RickyC0626. I only rebased with master and added few qunit tests to ensure that this feature works as expected.
Original PR: #10459
* FEATURE - Add SiteSettings to control JPEG image quality
`recompress_original_jpg_quality` - the maximum quality of a newly
uploaded file.
`image_preview_jpg_quality` - the maximum quality of OptimizedImages
* FIX: Ensure slow mode duration is correctly edited and displayed.
This commit fixes a bug where you were forced to set hours, minutes, and seconds or you won't be able to set the slow mode. Also, the duration was not displayed correctly due to the seconds not being truncated.
Additionally, we'll always display the hours, minutes, and seconds inputs for clarity and remove the blue banner.
* Set slow mode modal tweaks.
Uses labels instead of placeholders.
Input fields only visible when custom option selected.
Replace "Custom Duration" with "Pick Duration".
Additionally, place the `Set slow mode` button at the bottom of the topic actions menu.
* Perform the slow_mode validation also on the client-side before saving trying to save the post. This way, the post won't be staged.
Adds a new slow mode for topics that are heating up. Users will have to wait for a period of time before being able to post again.
We store this interval inside the topics table and track the last time a user posted using the last_posted_at datetime in the TopicUser relation.
Dependency on gifsicle, allow_animated_avatars and allow_animated_thumbnails
site settings were all removed. Animated GIF images are still allowed, but
the generated optimized images are no longer animated for those (which were
used for avatars and thumbnails).
The added 'animated' is populated by extracting information using FastImage.
This field was used to selectively reoptimize old animations. This process
happens in the background.
Now that we have support for user-selectable color schemes, it makes sense
to simplify seeding and theme updates in the wizard.
We now:
- seed only one theme, named "Default" (previously "Light")
- seed a user-selectable Dark color scheme
- rename the "Themes" wizard step to "Colors"
- update the default theme's color scheme if a default is set
(a new theme is created if there is no default)
Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from `analytics.js` to `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. This commit updates core Discourse to use the new `gtag.js` API Google is asking sites to use. This API has feature parity with `analytics.js` but does not use trackers.
