What this change?
We are currently not fully satisfied with the current way to edit the
categories and tags that appears in the sidebar where the user is
redirected to the tracking preferences tab in the user's profile causing
the user to lose context of the current page. In addition, the dropdown
to select categories or tags limits the amount of information we can
display.
Since editing or adding a custom categories section is already using a
modal, we have decided to switch editing the categories and tags that
appear in the sidebar to use a modal as well.
This commit ships a first pass of the edit categories modal such that we
can keep the commit small and reviewable. The incomplete nature of the
feature is also reflected in the fact that the feature is hidden behind
a new `new_edit_sidebar_categories_tags_interface_groups` site setting.
The welcome topic user tip was for admins only, but in general, user
tips should be used for guiding new users through the features that
Discourse offers. For this reason, we decided to remove the user tip.
This commit also includes a few more copy tweaks to the welcome topic.
- Update welcome topic copy
- Edit the welcome topic automatically when the title or description changes
- Remove “Create your Welcome Topic” banner/CTA
- Add "edit welcome topic" user tip
This commit fixes an issue where the Likes Received notification
count in the user digest email was not affected by the
since/last_seen date for the user, which meant that no matter
how long it had been since the user visited the count was
always constant.
Now instead for the Likes Received count, we only count the
unread notifications of that type since the user was last
seen.
Previously, Discourse's password hashing was hard-coded to a specific algorithm and parameters. Any changes to the algorithm or parameters would essentially invalidate all existing user passwords.
This commit introduces a new `password_algorithm` column on the `users` table. This persists the algorithm/parameters which were use to generate the hash for a given user. All existing rows in the users table are assumed to be using Discourse's current algorithm/parameters. With this data stored per-user in the database, we'll be able to keep existing passwords working while adjusting the algorithm/parameters for newly hashed passwords.
Passwords which were hashed with an old algorithm will be automatically re-hashed with the new algorithm when the user next logs in.
Values in the `password_algorithm` column are based on the PHC string format (https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-string-format/blob/master/phc-sf-spec.md). Discourse's existing algorithm is described by the string `$pbkdf2-sha256$i=64000,l=32$`
To introduce a new algorithm and start using it, make sure it's implemented in the `PasswordHasher` library, then update `User::TARGET_PASSWORD_ALGORITHM`.
There is no need to validate the user's emails when
promoting/demoting their trust level, this can cause
issues in things like Jobs::Tl3Promotions, we don't
need to fail in that case when all we are doing is changing
trust level.
`default_categories_*` site settings will update the category preferences on user creation. But it shouldn't update the user's category preference if a group's setting already updated it for that user.
That column is obsolete since we added the `granted_title_badge_id` column in 2019 (56d3e29a69). Having both columns can lead to inconsistencies (mostly due to old data from before 2019).
For example, `BadgeGranter.revoke_ungranted_titles!` doesn't work correctly if `badge_granted_title` is `false` while `granted_title_badge_id` points to the badge that is used as title.
We currently apply type: :link watched words to custom user fields. This makes the user card pretty ugly because we don't allow html / links there. Additionally, the admin UI also does not say that we apply this to custom user fields, but only words in posts.
So this PR is to remove the replacement of link-type watch words for custom user fields.
This commit introduces a few experimental changes to the New topics list and "Everything" link in the sidebar:
1. Make the New topics list include unread topics
2. Make the Everything section in the sidebar link to the New topics list (`/new`)
3. Remove "unread" or "new" text next to the count and keep the count
4. The count is a sum of new and unread topics counts
All of these of changes are behind an off-by-default feature flag. I've not written extensive tests for these changes because they're highly experimental.
Internal topic: t/77234.
The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
We caught it in logs, race condition led to this error:
ActiveRecord::RecordNotUnique
(PG::UniqueViolation: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "user_statuses_pkey"
DETAIL: Key (user_id)=(15) already exists.)
The reason the problem happened was that we were checking if a user has status and if not inserting status:
if user_status
...
else
self.user_status = UserStatus.create!(status)
end
The problem is that it's possible that another request will insert status just after we check if status exists and just before our request call `UserStatus.create!(status)`. Using `upsert` fixes the problem because under the hood `upsert` generates the only SQL request that uses "INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE". So we do everything in one SQL query, and that query takes care of resolving possible conflicts.
Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
Currently, when doing `@mention` for users we have 0 tolerance for typos and misspellings.
With this patch, if a user search doesn't return enough results we go and use `pg_trgm` features to try and find more matches based on trigrams of usernames and names.
It also introduces GiST indexes on those fields in order to improve performance of this search, going from 130ms down to 15ms in my tests.
This is all gated in a feature flag and can be enabled by running `SiteSetting.user_search_similar_results = true` in the rails console.
The `enable_new_notifications_menu` site setting allows sites that have
`navigation_menu` set to `legacy` to use the redesigned notifications
menu before switching to the new sidebar navigation menu.
Using a shared channel means that every user receives an update to the 'last_id' when *any* other user is logged out. If many users are being programmatically logged out at the same time, this can cause a very large number of message-bus polls.
This commit switches to use a user-specific channel, which means that each user has its own 'last id' which will only increment when they are logged out
This new site setting replaces the
`enable_experimental_sidebar_hamburger` and `enable_sidebar` site
settings as the sidebar feature exits the experimental phase.
Note that we're replacing this without depreciation since the previous
site setting was considered experimental.

* FIX: Only modify secured sidebar links on user promotion/demotion
If a user is created populate their sidebar with the default
categories/tags that they have access to.
If a user is promoted to admin populate any new categories/tags that
they now have access to.
If an admin is demoted remove any categories/tags that they no longer
have access to.
This will only apply for "secured" categories. For example if these are
the default sitebar categories:
- general
- site feedback
- staff
and a user only has these sidebar categories:
- general
when they are promoted to admin they will only receive the "staff"
category. As this is a default category they didn't previously have
access to.
* Add spec, remove tag logic on update
Change it so that if a user becomes unstaged it used the "add" method
instead of the "update" method because it is essentially following the
on_create path.
On admin promotion/demotion remove the logic for updating sidebar tags because
we don't currently have the tag equivalent like we do for User.secure_categories.
Added the test case for when a user is promoted to admin it should
receive *only* the new sidebar categories they didn't previously have
access to. Same for admin demotion.
* Add spec for suppress_secured_categories_from_admin site setting
* Update tags as well on admin promotion/demotion
* only update tags when they are enabled
* Use new SidebarSectionLinkUpdater
We now have a SidebarSectionLinkUpdater
that was introduced in: fb2507c6ce
* remove empty line
The centralization helps in reducing code duplication in our code base
and more importantly, centralizing logic for guardian checks into a
single spot.
Users who can access the review queue can claim a pending reviewable(s) which means that the claimed reviewable(s) can only be handled by the user who claimed it. Currently, we show claimed reviewables in the user menu, but this can be annoying for other reviewers because they can't do anything about a reviewable claimed by someone. So this PR makes sure that we only show in the user menu reviewables that are claimed by nobody or claimed by the current user.

This PR adds separate notification indicators for PMs and reviewables that have arrived since the last time the user opened the notifications menu.
The PM indicator is the strongest one of all three indicators followed by the reviewable indicator and then finally the blue indicator. This means that if there's a new PM and a new reviewable, then the PM indicator will be shown.

The hidden site setting `suppress_secured_categories_from_admin` will
suppress visibility of categories without explicit access from admins
in a few key areas (category drop downs and topic lists)
It is not intended to be a security wall since admins can amend any site
setting. Instead it is feature that allows hiding the categories from the
UI.
Admins will still be able to see topics in categories without explicit
access using direct URLs or flags.

It is likely that a new admin user was created as just a regular user
before being promoted to admin so this change will update the sidebar
link records for any users that are promoted to admin. This way if any
of the default side bar categories or tags are restricted to admins
these new admins will have those added to their sidebar as well.
You can easily replicate this issue locally (prior to this fix) by using
`rails admin:create` where it creates a user first, then it is promoted
to admin. This means it would receive the default categories of regular
user, but never receive the ones they should have access to as an admin.
As part of this change I did drop the `!` from
`SidebarSectionLink.insert_all` so that it would add any new records
that were missing, but not throw a unique constraint error trying to add
any existing records.

The previous sidebar default tags and categories implementation did not
allow for a user to configure their sidebar to have no categories or
tags. This commit changes how the defaults are applied. When a user is being created,
we create the SidebarSectionLink records based on the `default_sidebar_categories` and
`default_sidebar_tags` site settings. SidebarSectionLink records are
only created for categories and tags which the user has visibility on at
the point of user creation.
With this change, we're also adding the ability for admins to apply
changes to the `default_sidebar_categories` and `default_sidebar_tags`
site settings historically when changing their site setting. When a new
category/tag has been added to the default, the new category/tag will be
added to the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the changes historically.
Like wise when a tag/category is removed, the tag/category will be
removed from the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the
changes historically.

Previously, when categories were not muted by default, we were sending message about unmuted topics (topics which user explicitly set notification level to watching)
The same mechanism can be used to fix a bug. When the user was explicitly watching topic, but category was muted, then the user was not informed about new reply.
This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
Right now the experimental user menu sorts notifications the same way that the old menu does: unread high-priority notifications are shown first in reverse-chronological order followed by everything else also in reverse-chronological order. However, since the experimental user menu has dedicated tabs for some notification types and each tab displays a badge with the count of unread notifications in the tab, we feel like it makes sense to change how notifications are sorted in the experimental user menu to this:
1. unread high-priority notifications
2. unread regular notifications
3. all read notifications (both high-priority and regular)
4. within each group, notifications are sorted in reverse-chronological order (i.e. newest is shown first).
This new sorting logic applies to all tabs in the experimental user menu, however it doesn't change anything in the old menu. With this change, if a tab in the experimental user menu shows an unread notification badge for a really old notification, it will be surfaced to the top and prevents confusing scenarios where a user sees an unread notification badge on a tab, but the tab doesn't show the unread notification because it's too old to make it to the list.
Internal topic: t72199.
Each new user menu notifications should have their own count. Therefore, we need to include all types to serializer and not only `grouped_unread_high_priority_notifications`
Additional PR will be created for chat and assign plugin, as they will have to switch to `grouped_unread_notifications` as well.
Default sidebar tags for not authenticated users can be defined in admin panel. Otherwise, top 5 categories and tags are taken.
Optionally, if categories are set up in permanent order, then the first 5 categories are taken.
```
1) CurrentUserSerializer#sidebar_category_ids includes visible default sidebar categories
Failure/Error: expect(json[:sidebar_category_ids]).to eq([category.id, category_2.id])
expected: [378, 379]
got: [379, 378]
```
Note that in the Ruby doc it says "The order is preserved from the original array". In this case, we want to preserve the order of the site setting.
Some of the changes in this commit are extracted from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/17379.
The bookmarks tab in the new user menu is different from the other tabs in that it can display a mixture of notifications and bookmarks. When there are unread bookmark reminder notifications, the tab displays all of these notifications at the top and fills the remaining space in the menu with the rest of the bookmarks. The bubble/badge count on the bookmarks tab indicates how many unread bookmark reminder notifications there are.
On the technical aspect, since this commit introduces a new `bookmark-item` component, we've done some refactoring so that all 3 "item" components (`notification-item`, `reviewable-item` and the new `bookmark-item`) inherit from a base component and get identical HTML structure so they all look consistent.
Internal tickets: t70584 and t65045.
Follow-up to ce9eec8606.
I did a last-minute refactoring before merging the commit above where I extracted the Message Bus publish call into a new method, but forgot to delete the publish call after adding a call to the new method.
The previous method for reused the PrettyText logic which applied the
watched word logic, but had the unwanted effect of cooking the text too.
This meant that regular text values were converted to HTML.
Follow up to commit 5a4c35f627.
* FIX: properly validate multiselect user fields on user creation
* Add test cases
* FIX: don't check multiselect user fields for watched words
* Clarifiy/simplify tests
* Roll back apply_watched_words changes
Since this method no longer needs to deal with arrays for now. If/when
we add new user fields which uses them, we can deal with it then.
