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'
- Move the old '`define_include_method`' arg to a `respect_plugin_enabled` kwarg
- Introduce an `include_condition` kwarg which can be passed a lambda with inclusion logic. Lambda will be run via `instance_exec` in the context of the serializer instance
This is backwards compatible - old-style invocations will trigger a deprecation message

Update chat and poll plugins to new pattern
Introduces a new API for plugin data modification without class-based extension overhead.
This commit introduces a new API that allows plugins to modify data in cases where they return different data rather than additional data, as is common with filtered_registers in DiscoursePluginRegistry. This API removes the need for defining class-based extension points.
When a plugin registers a modifier, it will automatically be called if the plugin is enabled. The core will then modify the parameter sent to it using the block registered by the plugin:
```ruby
DiscoursePluginRegistry.register_modifier(plugin_instance, :magic_sum_modifier) { |a, b| a + b }
sum = DiscoursePluginRegistry.apply_modifier(:magic_sum_filter, 1, 2)
expect(sum).to eq(3)
```
Key features of these modifiers:
- Operate in a stack (first registered, first called)
- Automatically disabled when the plugin is disabled
- Pass the cumulative result of all block invocations to the caller
Similar spirit to e195e6f614,
this moves the Bookmarkable registration to DiscoursePluginRegistry
so plugins which are not enabled do not register additional
bookmarkable classes.
Follow up to 098ab29d41. Since
we just used a `cattr_reader` on `About` this was not safe
for multisite, since some sites could have the chat plugin
enabled and some may not. Using `DiscoursePluginRegistry` gets
around this issue, and makes it so the chat stats only show
for a site if `chat_enabled` is true.
Follow up to a review in #18937, this commit changes the HashtagAutocompleteService to no longer use class variables to register hashtag data sources or types in context priority order. This is to address multisite concerns, where one site could e.g. have chat disabled and another might not. The filtered plugin registers I added will not be included if the plugin is disabled.
This commit introduce a new API for registering callbacks, which we'll execute when a user gets destroyed, and the `delete_posts` opt is true. The chat plugin registers one callback and queues a job to destroy every message from that user in batches.
This hasn't been necessary for many years, and is no longer supported following 84bec1cb. Only extremely old plugins might be trying to do this. All the affected open-source plugins I can find have already been updated.
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.
------
**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
This commit adds a new `/hashtag/search` endpoint and both
relevant JS and ruby plugin APIs to handle plugins adding their
own data sources and priority orders for types of things to search
when `#` is pressed.
A `context` param is added to `setupHashtagAutocomplete` which
a corresponding chat PR https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/pull/1302
will now use.
The UI calls `registerHashtagSearchParam` for each context that will
require a `#` search (e.g. the topic composer), for each type of record that
the context needs to search for, as well as a priority order for that type. Core
uses this call to add the `category` and `tag` data sources to the topic composer.
The `register_hashtag_data_source` ruby plugin API call is for plugins to
add a new data source for the hashtag searching endpoint, e.g. discourse-chat
may add a `channel` data source.
This functionality is hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
flag, except for the change to `setupHashtagAutocomplete` since only core and
discourse-chat are using that function. Note this PR does **not** include required
changes for hashtag lookup or new styling.
The previous sprockets implementation was including admin-specific JS in the plugin's main JS file, which would be served to all users regardless of admin status. This commit achieves the same result under the ember-cli plugin asset compiler with one difference: the admin js is compiled into a separate file. That means that in future, we'll be able to make it loaded only for admins. For now though, it's loaded for everyone, just like before.
When `EMBER_CLI_PLUGIN_ASSETS=1`, plugin application JS will be compiled via Ember CLI. In this mode, the existing `register_asset` API will cause any registered JS files to be made available in `/plugins/{plugin-name}_extra.js`. These 'extra' files will be loaded immediately after the plugin app JS file, so this should not affect functionality.
Plugin compilation in Ember CLI is implemented as an addon, similar to the existing 'admin' addon. We bypass the normal Ember CLI compilation process (which would add the JS to the main app bundle), and reroute the addon Broccoli tree into a separate JS file per-plugin. Previously, Sprockets would add compiled templates directly to `Ember.TEMPLATES`. Under Ember CLI, they are compiled into es6 modules. Some new logic in `discourse-boot.js` takes care of remapping the new module names into the old-style `Ember.TEMPLATES`.
This change has been designed to be a like-for-like replacement of the old plugin compilation system, so we do not expect any breakage. Even so, the environment variable flag will allow us to test this in a range of environments before enabling it by default.
A manual silence implementation is added for the build-time `ember-glimmer.link-to.positional-arguments` deprecation while we work on a better story for plugins.
This commit introduces a new plugin API to register
a group of stats that will be included in about.json
and also conditionally in the site about UI at /about.
The usage is like this:
```ruby
register_about_stat_group("chat_messages", show_in_ui: true) do
{
last_day: 1,
"7_days" => 10,
"30_days" => 100,
count: 1000,
previous_30_days: 120
}
end
```
In reality the stats will be generated any way the implementer
chooses within the plugin. The `last_day`, `7_days`, `30_days,` and `count`
keys must be present but apart from that additional stats may be added.
Only those core 4 stat keys will be shown in the UI, but everything will be shown
in about.json.
The stat group name is used to prefix the stats in about.json like so:
```json
"chat_messages_last_day": 2322,
"chat_messages_7_days": 2322,
"chat_messages_30_days": 2322,
"chat_messages_count": 2322,
```
The `show_in_ui` option (default false) is used to determine whether the
group of stats is shown on the site About page in the Site Statistics
table. Some stats may be needed purely for reporting purposes and thus
do not need to be shown in the UI to admins/users. An extension to the Site
serializer, `displayed_about_plugin_stat_groups`, has been added so this
can be inspected on the client-side.
This commit introduces two new APIs for handling unused uploads, one
can be used to exclude uploads in bulk when the data model allow and
the other one excludes uploads one by one.
* File.exists? is deprecated and removed in Ruby 3.2 in favor of
File.exist?
* Dir.exists? is deprecated and removed in Ruby 3.2 in favor of
Dir.exist?
A plugin API that allows customizing existing topic-backed static pages, like:
faq, tos, privacy (see: StaticController) The block passed to this
method has to return a SiteSetting name that contains a topic id.
```
add_topic_static_page("faq") do |controller|
current_user&.locale == "pl" ? "polish_faq_topic_id" : "faq_topic_id"
end
```
You can also add new pages in a plugin, but remember to add a route,
for example:
```
get "contact" => "static#show", id: "contact"
```
We previously used ConsolidateNotifications with a threshold of 1 to re-use an existing notification and bump it to the top instead of creating a new one. It produces some jumpiness in the user notification list, and it relies on updating the `created_at` attribute, which is a bit hacky.
As a better alternative, we're introducing a new plan that deletes all the previous versions of the notification, then creates a new one.
