This commit adds the `add_request_rate_limiter` plugin API which allows plugins to add custom rate limiters on top of the default rate limiters which requests by a user's id or the request's IP address.
Example to add a rate limiter that rate limits all requests from Googlebot under the same rate limit bucket:
```
add_request_rate_limiter(
identifier: :country,
key: ->(request) { "country/#{DiscourseIpInfo.get(request.ip)[:country]}" },
activate_when: ->(request) { DiscourseIpInfo.get(request.ip)[:country].present? },
)
```
This commit removes the feature flag for the new /about page, enabling it for all sites, and removes the code for old the /about page.
Internal topic: t/140413.
Constants should always be only assigned once. The logical OR assignment
of a constant is a relic of the past before we used zeitwerk for
autoloading and had bugs where a file could be loaded twice resulting in
constant redefinition warnings.
If a plugin's JS fails to load for some reason, most commonly
ad blockers, the entire admin interface would break. This is because
we are adding links to the admin routes for plugins that define
them in the sidebar.
We have a fix for this already in the plugin list which shows a warning
to the admin. This fix just prevents the broken link from rendering
in the sidebar if the route is not valid.
This was added 10 years ago, but currently there's not a single use in our public and private plugins and no reference in third-party plugins on github
We need to start printing deprecation notices when the `show_in_ui` argument is used because it works only for the old about page which will be removed soon. For the new about page, we've introduced a new API `addAboutPageActivity` which is more flexible than a true/false argument on the server side.
Internal topic: t/136551.
This commit introduces a new frontend API to add custom items to the "Site activity" section in the new /about page. The new API is called `addAboutPageActivity` and it works along side the `register_stat` serve-side API which serializes the data that the frontend API consumes. More details of how the two APIs work together is in the JSDoc comment above the API function definition.

# Context
Currently there is no way to add a custom filter to the experimental `/filter` endpoint. While you can implement a custom `status:` there is no way to include the user's input in a custom query.
# PR
This PR adds the ability to implement a custom filter. eg. `CUSTOM_FILTER:foo`
- Add `add_filter_custom_filter` for extension
- Add specs
Currently, when a plugin registers a new reviewable type or extends a
list method (through `register_reviewble_type` and `extend_list_method`
respectively), the new array is statically computed and always returns
the same value. It will continue to return the same value even if the
plugin is disabled (it can be a problem in a multisite env too).
To address this issue, this patch changes how `extend_list_method`
works. It’s now using `DiscoursePluginRegistry.define_filtered_register`
to create a register on the fly and store the extra values from various
plugins. It then combines the original values with the ones from the
registry. The registry is already aware of disabled plugins, so when a
plugin is disabled, its registered values won’t be returned.
This patch upgrades the MessageFormat library to version 3.3.0 from
0.1.5.
Our `I18n.messageFormat` method signature is unchanged, and now uses the
new API under the hood.
We don’t need dedicated locale files for handling pluralization rules
anymore as everything is now included by the library itself.
The compilation of the messages now happens through our
`messageformat-wrapper` gem. It then outputs an ES module that includes
all its needed dependencies.
Most of the changes happen in `JsLocaleHelper` and in the `ExtraLocales`
controller.
A new method called `.output_MF` has been introduced in
`JsLocaleHelper`. It handles all the fetching, compiling and
transpiling to generate the proper MF messages in JS. Overrides and
fallbacks are also handled directly in this method.
The other main change is that now the MF translations are served through
the `ExtraLocales` controller instead of being statically compiled in a
JS file, then having to patch the messages using overrides and
fallbacks. Now the MF translations are just another bundle that is
created on the fly and cached by the client.
AuthProvider#enabled_setting=, used primarily by plugins, has been deprecated since version 2.9, in favour of Authenticator#enabled?. This PR confirms we are seeing no more usage and removes the method.
Previously the problem check registry simply looked at the subclasses of ProblemCheck. This was causing some confusion in environments where eager loading is not enabled, as the registry would appear empty as a result of the classes never being referenced (and thus never loaded.)
This PR changes the approach to a more explicit one. I followed other implementations (bookmarkable and hashtag autocomplete.) As a bonus, this now has a neat plugin entry point as well.
Followup 0bbca318f2,
rather than making developers provide the plugin path
name (which may not always be the same depending on
dir names and git cloning etc) we can infer the plugin
dir from the caller in plugin_file_from_fixtures
This commit changes the API for registering the plugin config
page nav configuration from a server-side to a JS one;
there is no need for it to be server-side.
It also makes some changes to allow for 2 different ways of displaying
navigation for plugin pages, depending on complexity:
* TOP - This is the best mode for simple plugins without a lot of different
custom configuration pages, and it reuses the grey horizontal nav bar
already used for admins.
* SIDEBAR - This is better for more complex plugins; likely this won't
be used in the near future, but it's readily available if needed
There is a new AdminPluginConfigNavManager service too to manage which
plugin the admin is actively viewing, otherwise we would have trouble
hiding the main plugin nav for admins when viewing a single plugin.
This commit adds new plugin show routes (`/admin/plugins/:plugin_id`) as we move
towards every plugin having a consistent UI/landing page.
As part of this, we are introducing a consistent way for plugins
to show an inner sidebar in their config page, via a new plugin
API `register_admin_config_nav_routes`
This accepts an array of links with a label/text, and an
ember route. Once this commit is merged we can start the process
of conforming other plugins to follow this pattern, as well
as supporting a single-page version of this for simpler plugins
that don't require an inner sidebar.
Part of /t/122841 internally
JS assets added by plugins via `register_asset` will be outside the `assets/javascripts` directory, and are therefore exempt from being transpiled. That means that there isn't really any need to run them through DiscourseJsProcessor. Instead, we can just concatenate them together, and avoid the need for all the sprockets-wrangling.
This commit also takes the opportunity to clean up a number of plugin-asset-related codepaths which are no longer required (e.g. globs, handlebars)
Some plugins have names (e.g. discourse-x-yz) that
are totally different from what they are actually called,
and that causes issues when showing them in a sorted way
in the admin plugin list.
Now, we should use the setting category name from client.en.yml
if it exists, otherwise fall back to the name, for sorting.
This is what we do on the client to determine what text to
show for the plugin name as well.
This changes the Plugins link in the admin sidebar to
be a section instead, which then shows all enabled plugin
admin routes (which are custom routes some plugins e.g.
chat define).
This is done via adding some special preloaded data for
all controllers based on AdminController, and also specifically
on Admin::PluginsController, to have the routes loaded without
additional requests on page load.
We just use a cog for all the route icons for now...we don't
have anything better.
Before, when needed to get stats in a plugin, we called Core classes directly.
Introducing plugin API will decouple plugins from Core and give as more freedom
in refactoring stats in Core. Without this API, I wasn't able to do all refactorings
I wanted when working on d91456f.
Followup to e37fb3042d,
in some cases we cannot get git information for the
plugin folder (e.g. permission issues), so we need
to only try and get information about it if
commit_hash is present.
Followup to e37fb3042d
Some plugins like discourse-ai and discourse-saml do not
nicely change from kebab-case to Title Case (e.g. Ai, Saml),
and anyway this method of getting the plugin name is not
translated either.
Better to use the plugin setting category if it exists,
since that is written by a human and is translated.
* Remove checkmark for official plugins
* Add author for plugin, which is By Discourse for all discourse
and discourse-org github plugins
* Link to meta topic instead of github repo
* Add experimental flag for plugin metadata and show this as a
badge on the plugin list if present

This adds the ability to collect stats without exposing them
among other stats via API.
The most important thing I wanted to achieve is to provide
an API where stats are not exposed by default, and a developer
has to explicitly specify that they should be
exposed (`expose_via_api: true`). Implementing an opposite
solution would be simpler, but that's less safe in terms of
potential security issues.
When working on this, I had to refactor the current solution.
I would go even further with the refactoring, but the next steps
seem to be going too far in changing the solution we have,
and that would also take more time. Two things that can be
improved in the future:
1. Data structures for holding stats can be further improved
2. Core stats are hard-coded in the About template (it's hard
to fix it without correcting data structures first, see point 1):
63a0700d45/app/views/about/index.html.erb (L61-L101)
The most significant refactorings are:
1. Introducing the `Stat` model
2. Aligning the way the core and the plugin stats' are registered
There was a registry for preloaded site categories and a new one has
been introduced recently for categories serialized through a
CategoryList.
Having two registries created a lot of friction for developers and this
commit merges them into a single one, providing a unified API.
When quoting a chat message in a post, if that message contains a mention,
that mention should be ignored. But we've been detecting them and sending
notifications to users. This PR fixes the problem. Since this fix is for
the chat plugin, I had to introduce a new API for plugins:
# We strip posts before detecting mentions, oneboxes, attachments etc.
# We strip those elements that shouldn't be detected. For example,
# a mention inside a quote should be ignored, so we strip it off.
# Using this API plugins can register their own post strippers.
def register_post_stripper(&block)
end
In the past we would build the stack of Omniauth providers at boot, which meant that plugins had to register any authenticators in the root of their plugin.rb (i.e. not in an `after_initialize` block). This could be frustrating because many features are not available that early in boot (e.g. Zeitwerk autoloading).
Now that we build the omniauth strategy stack 'just in time', it is safe for plugins to register their auth methods in an `after_initialize` block. This commit relaxes the old restrictions so that plugin authors have the option to move things around.
Why this change?
The `PostsController#create` action allows arbitrary topic custom fields
to be set by any user that can create a topic. Without any restrictions,
this opens us up to potential security issues where plugins may be using
topic custom fields in security sensitive areas.
What does this change do?
1. This change introduces the `register_editable_topic_custom_field` plugin
API which allows plugins to register topic custom fields that are
editable either by staff users only or all users. The registered
editable topic custom fields are stored in `DiscoursePluginRegistry` and
is called by a new method `Topic#editable_custom_fields` which is then
used in the `PostsController#create` controller action. When an unpermitted custom fields is present in the `meta_data` params,
a 400 response code is returned.
2. Removes all reference to `meta_data` on a topic as it is confusing
since we actually mean topic custom fields instead.
We deprecated the keywords method, route, and format (replaced with methods, actions, and formats respectively) as parameters to Plugin::Instance#add_api_parameter_route, marked for removal in 2.7. This PR deletes them.
These methods were deprecated and marked for removal in 2.6. This change deletes them.
These deprecations use raise_error: true, so the fallbacks are at this point unreachable and can't be used anyway.
While we are unable to support OAUTH2 with pop3 (due to upstream dependency ruby/net-pop#16), we are adding the support for mail pollers plugin. Doing so, it would be possible to write a plugin which then uses other ways (microsoft graph sdk for example) to poll emails from a mailbox.
The idea is that a plugin would define a class which inherits from Email::Poller and defines a poll_mailbox static method which returns an array of strings. Then the plugin could call register_mail_poller(<class_name>) to have it registered. All the configuration (oauth2 tokens, email, etc) could be managed by sitesettings defined in the plugin.
* FEATURE: Content custom summarization strategies.
This PR establishes a pattern for plugins to register alternative ways of summarizing content by extending a class that defines an interface.
Core controls which strategy we'll use and who has access to it through the `summarization_strategy` and `custom_summarization_allowed_groups`. It also defines the UI for summarizing topics.
Other plugins can access this summarization mechanism and implement their features, removing cross-plugin customizations, as it currently happens between chat and the discourse-ai plugin.
* Group membership validation and rate limiting
* Work with objects instead of classes
* Port summarization feature from discourse-ai to chat
* Rename available summaries to 'Top Replies' and 'Summary'
