* FEATURE: use canonical links in posts.rss feed
Previously we used non canonical links in posts.rss
These links get crawled frequently by crawlers when discovering new
content forcing crawlers to hop to non canonical pages just to end up
visiting canonical pages
This uses up expensive crawl time and adds load on Discourse sites
Old links were of the form:
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43/21`
New links are of the form
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43?page=2#post_21`
This also adds a post_id identified element to crawler view that was
missing.
Note, to avoid very expensive N+1 queries required to figure out the
page a post is on during rss generation, we cache that information.
There is a smart "cache breaker" which ensures worst case scenario is
a "page drift" - meaning we would publicize a post is on page 11 when
it is actually on page 10 due to post deletions. Cache holds for up to
12 hours.
Change only impacts public post RSS feeds (`/posts.rss`)
This update topic route has never worked. Better late than never. I am
in favor of using non-slug urls when using the api so I do think we
should fix this route.
Just thought I would update the `:id` param to `:topic_id` here in the
routes file instead of updating the controller to handle both params.
Added a spec to test this route.
Also added the same constraint we have on other topic routes to ensure
we only pass in an ID that is a digit.
The `blocked onebox domains` setting lets site owners change what sites
are allowed to be oneboxed. When a link is entered into a post,
Discourse checks the domain of the link against that setting and blocks
the onebox if the domain is blocked. But if there's a chain of
redirects, then only the final destination website is checked against
the site setting.
This commit amends that behavior so that every website in the redirect
chain is checked against the site setting, and if anything is blocked
the original link doesn't onebox at all in the post. The
`Discourse-No-Onebox` header is also checked in every response and the
onebox is blocked if the header is set to "1".
Additionally, Discourse will now include the `Discourse-No-Onebox`
header with every response if the site requires login to access content.
This is done to signal to a Discourse instance that it shouldn't attempt
to onebox other Discourse instances if they're login-only. Non-Discourse
websites can also use include that header if they don't wish to have
Discourse onebox their content.
Internal ticket: t59305.
Previously, if an admin user tried to add/remove
users to another user's ignored list, it would
be added to their own ignore list because the
controller used current_user. Now for admins only
a source_user_id parameter can be passed through,
which will be used to ignore the target user for
that source user.
The user can select what happens with a bookamrk after it expires. New
option allow bookmark's reminder to be kept even after it has expired.
After a bookmark's reminder notification is created, the reminder date
will be highlighted in red until the user resets the reminder date.
User can do that using the new Clear Reminder button from the dropdown.
The search_ignore_accents site setting can be used to make the search
indexer remove the accents before indexing the content. The unaccent
function from PostgreSQL is better than Ruby's unicode_normalize(:nfkd).
When creating files with create-multipart, if the file
size was somehow zero we were showing a very unhelpful
error message to the user. Now we show a nicer message,
and proactively don't call the API if we know the file
size is 0 bytes in JS, along with extra console logging
to help with debugging.
Some product pages on Amazon are using a new HTML structure, meaning the previous Onebox engine was unable to gather the price and/or description. This change should allow these pages to be Oneboxed.
This change adds support for the categories endpoint to have an api
scope. Only adds GET scope for listing categories and for fetching a
single category.
See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/218080/4
This PR adds an extra description to the 2FA page when granting a user admin access. It also introduces a general system for adding customized descriptions that can be used by future actions.
(Follow-up to dd6ec65061)
Discourse users and associated accounts are created or updated when a
user logins or connects the account using their account preferences.
This new API can be used to create associated accounts and users too,
if necessary.
Our @mention user search prioritized users based on prefix matches.
So if searching for `sa` we will display `sam`, `asam` in that order
Previously, we did not prioritize group matches based on prefix. This change ensures better parity.
Implementation notes:
1. User search only prioritizes based on username prefix, not name prefix. TBD if we want to change that.
2. @mention on client side will show 0 group matches if we fill up all the spots with user matches. TBD if we want to unconditionally show the first / second group match.

This feature was rarely used, could be used for spamming users and was
impossible to add a context to why the user was notified of a topic. A
simple private messages that includes the link and personalized message
can be used instead.
* DEV: Show only top level replies
Adds a new query param to the topic view so that we can filter out posts
that aren't top level replies. If a post is a reply to another post
instead of the original topic post we should not include it in the
response if the `filter_top_level_replies` query param is present.
* add rspec test
It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
This allows text editors to use correct syntax coloring for the heredoc sections.
Heredoc tag names we use:
languages: SQL, JS, RUBY, LUA, HTML, CSS, SCSS, SH, HBS, XML, YAML/YML, MF, ICS
other: MD, TEXT/TXT, RAW, EMAIL
Previously email validations could fire when deleting posts if for
certain reasons any user validations fail on the user objects
This kind of condition could happen in core due to a corruption of a
user record, or via a plugin that introduces a new validation on User
Lib specs moved in 45cc16098d
Move the new selectable_avatars_mode_validator_spec to the new location
Remove the old selectable_avatars_enabled_validator_spec
follow-up of d1bdb6c65d
* FEATURE: upload an avatar option for uploading avatars with selectable avatars
Allow staff or users at or above a trust level to upload avatars even when the site
has selectable avatars enabled.
Everyone can still pick from the list of avatars. The option to upload is shown
below the selectable avatar list.
refactored boolean site setting into an enum with the following values:
disabled: No selectable avatars enabled (default)
everyone: Show selectable avatars, and allow everyone to upload custom avatars
tl1: Show selectable avatars, but require tl1+ and staff to upload custom avatars
tl2: Show selectable avatars, but require tl2+ and staff to upload custom avatars
tl3: Show selectable avatars, but require tl3+ and staff to upload custom avatars
tl4: Show selectable avatars, but require tl4 and staff to upload custom avatars
staff: Show selectable avatars, but only allow staff to upload custom avatars
no_one: Show selectable avatars. No users can upload custom avatars

Currently, providing things like `filter[%24acunetix]=1` to
`UserActionsController#index` will throw an exception because instead of
getting a string as expected, we get a hash instead.
This patch simply uses `#permit` from strong parameters properly: first
we apply it on the whole parameters, this way it filters the keys we’re
interested in. By doing this, if the value is a hash for example, the
whole key/value pair will be ignored completely.
This commit handles the edge case where a draft is lost with no warnings if the user edits the title (or category/tags) of a topic while they're replying.to the same topic. Repro steps are as follows:
1. Start replying to a topic and type enough to get a draft saved.
2. Scroll up to the topic title and click the pencil icon next to the topic title, change the title, category and/or tags, and then save the changes.
3. Reload the page and you'll see that the draft is gone.
This happens because we only allow 1 draft per topic per user and when you edit the title of a topic that you're replying to, from the server perspective it'll look like as if you've submitted your reply so it will advance the draft sequence for the topic and delete the draft.
The fix in this commit makes `PostRevisor` skip advancing the draft sequence when a topic's title is edited using the pencil button next to the title.

This option will make it so the [quote] bbcode will always
include the HTML link to the quoted post, even if a topic_id
is not provided in the PrettyText#cook options. This is so
[quote] bbcode can be used in other places, like chat messages,
that always need the link and do not have an "off-topic" ID
to use.
Previously cached counting made redis calls in main thread and performed
the flush in main thread.
This could lead to pathological states in extreme heavy load.
This refactor reduces load and cleans up the interface
Previously we were publishing one messagebus message per user which was 'tracking' a topic. On large sites, this can easily be 1000+ messages. The important information in the message is common between all users, so we can manage with a single message on a shared channel, which will be much more efficient.
For user-specific values (notification_level and last_read_post_number), the JS app can infer values which are 'good enough'. Correct values will be loaded as soon as a topic-list containing the topic is visited.
aa1442fdc3 split theme stylesheets so that every component gets its own stylesheet. Therefore, there is now no need for parent themes to collate the settings/variables of its children during scss compilation.
Technically this is a breaking change for any themes which depend on the settings/variables of their child components. That was never a supported/recommended arrangement, so we don't expect this to cause issues.
If a theme is updated to introduce a new setting AND immediately make use of it in a stylesheet, then an error was being shown. This is because the stylesheet compilation was using the theme's cached settings, and the cache is only cleared **after** the theme has finished compiling.
This commit updates the SCSS compilation to use uncached values for settings. A similar fix was applied to other parts of theme compilation back in 2020: (a51b8d9c66)
The previous Discourse.cache usage was different to how other theme-related caching is handled, and also requires reaching out to redis every time. The common theme cache is held in memory (as a DistributedCache)
This commit makes sure that the email log's bounce_error_code
conforms to the SMTP error code RFC on save, so that
it is always in the format X.X.X or XXX without any
additional string details. Also included is a migration
to fix this issue for past records.
Similar site settings exist for likes and edits and the new ones work
in a similar way.
By default, users below TL2 have a limit of 20, the limit is increased
by 1.5 for TL2 users up to 30, by 2 for TL3 users up to 40 and by 3 for
TL4 users up to 60.
We validate the *format* of email addresses in many places with a match against
a regex, often with very slightly different syntax.
Adding a separate EmailAddressValidator simplifies the code in a few spots and
feels cleaner.
Deprecated the old location in case someone is using it in a plugin.
No functionality change is in this commit.
Note: the regex used at the moment does not support using address literals, e.g.:
* localpart@[192.168.0.1]
* localpart@[2001:db8::1]
Themes often cache `nil` values in a DistributedCache. This bug meant that we were re-calculating some values on every request, AND triggering message-bus publishing on every request.
This fix should provide a significant performance improvement for busy sites.
2FA support in Discourse was added and grown gradually over the years: we first
added support for TOTP for logins, then we implemented backup codes, and last
but not least, security keys. 2FA usage was initially limited to logging in,
but it has been expanded and we now require 2FA for risky actions such as
adding a new admin to the site.
As a result of this gradual growth of the 2FA system, technical debt has
accumulated to the point where it has become difficult to require 2FA for more
actions. We now have 5 different 2FA UI implementations and each one has to
support all 3 2FA methods (TOTP, backup codes, and security keys) which makes
it difficult to maintain a consistent UX for these different implementations.
Moreover, there is a lot of repeated logic in the server-side code behind these
5 UI implementations which hinders maintainability even more.
This commit is the first step towards repaying the technical debt: it builds a
system that centralizes as much as possible of the 2FA server-side logic and
UI. The 2 main components of this system are:
1. A dedicated page for 2FA with support for all 3 methods.
2. A reusable server-side class that centralizes the 2FA logic (the
`SecondFactor::AuthManager` class).
From a top-level view, the 2FA flow in this new system looks like this:
1. User initiates an action that requires 2FA;
2. Server is aware that 2FA is required for this action, so it redirects the
user to the 2FA page if the user has a 2FA method, otherwise the action is
performed.
3. User submits the 2FA form on the page;
4. Server validates the 2FA and if it's successful, the action is performed and
the user is redirected to the previous page.
A more technically-detailed explanation/documentation of the new system is
available as a comment at the top of the `lib/second_factor/auth_manager.rb`
file. Please note that the details are not set in stone and will likely change
in the future, so please don't use the system in your plugins yet.
Since this is a new system that needs to be tested, we've decided to migrate
only the 2FA for adding a new admin to the new system at this time (in this
commit). Our plan is to gradually migrate the remaining 2FA implementations to
the new system.
For screenshots of the 2FA page, see PR #15377 on GitHub.
* FIX: Don't accept accents in slug if generation_method == 'ascii'
Fixes bug reported in:
- https://meta.discourse.org/t/404-when-trying-to-edit-category-with-accent-in-slug/214762
- https://meta.discourse.org/t/formatting-and-accents-in-urls/215734/5
Assuming `SiteSetting.slug_generation_method == 'ascii'.
If the user provides a slug containing non-ascii characters while
creating the category, the user will receive a 404 error just
after saving the category since the slug will be escaped anyway but
Category.find_by_slug_path won't escape the category slug
causing the Edit Page of the category to be inaccessible.
This commit checks the provided slug and raises an error if the
provided slugcontains non-ascii characters ensuring that the
provided value is consistent with the site settings.
It also changes Category.find_by_slug_path to always escape the slug,
since if present, it is escaped anyway in Category.ensure_slug to
prevent the 404 in the Edit Category Page in case the user already
have some category with a non-ascii slug.
* Removed trailing whitespace
When parent category or grandparent category is muted, then category should be muted as well.
Still, it can be overridden by setting individual subcategory notification level.
CategoryUser record is not created, mute for subcategories is purely virtual.
This can happen if the topic to which a user is invited is in a private
category and the user was not invited to one of the groups that can see
that specific category.
This used to be a warning and this commit makes it an error.
These calls were originally introduced to ensure that any stale users were cleaned up regularly. This is quite an expensive process to run on every `GET /presence/get` call, and will also cause errors during readonly mode.
Since the original introduction of this logic, we added the `Jobs::PresenceChannelAutoLeave` which runs every minute. That should be enough to clean up any stale users.
Note that users which explicitly `leave` a channel are still removed immediately. This auto_leave logic just takes care of clients which have disappeared without leaving.
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.
We added this constraint in 5bd55acf83
but it is causing problems in hosted sites and is catching the
issue too far down the line. This commit removes the constraint
for now, and also fixes an issue found with PostDestroyer
which wasn't using the UserStatCountUpdater when updating post_count
and thus was causing negative numbers to occur.
Previously calls such as `Emoji["smile"]` would force a full dehydration of
objects from Redis.
This introduces a version safe site and global emoji cache so lookups are
cheap. It eliminates iterating through the list of emojis and pulling from
redis.
Distributed cache uses a normalized name as the key and stores an Array tuple
with version and Emoji. Successful hits always confirm version matches.
Interface to Emoji object remains unchanged.
We opted for 2 caches to improve reuse on multisites. misses though will be
stored in both caches. If there is a hit on the global cache we can avoid
looking up in site local cache and storing a miss there.
Previously we were calling `EXPIRE` every time we incremented a given key. Instead, we can call EXPIRE once when the key is first populated. A LUA script is used to make this as efficient as possible.
Consumers of this Concern use daily keys. Since we're now calling EXPIRE only at the beginning of the day, rather than throughout the day, the expire time has been increased from 3 to 4 days.
Whenever we got a bounced email in the Email::Receiver we
previously would just set bounced: true on the EmailLog and
discard the status/diagnostic code. This commit changes this
flow to store the bounce error code (defined in the RFC at
https://www.iana.org/assignments/smtp-enhanced-status-codes/smtp-enhanced-status-codes.xhtml)
not just in the Email::Receiver, but also via webhook events
from other mail services and from SNS.
This commit does not surface the bounce error in the UI,
we can do that later if necessary.
Without this parameter, requests for sourcemaps on shared-CDN multisites will not be routed to the correct database, resulting in a 404.
The stylesheet content now depends on the site hostname, so the hostname has been added to the digest.
We serve `service-worker.js` in an unusual way, which means that the sourcemap is not available on an adjacent path. This means that the browser fails to fetch the map, and shows an error in the console.
This commit re-writes the source map reference in the static_controller to be an absolute link to the asset (including the appropriate CDN, if enabled), and adds a spec for the behavior.
It's important to do this at runtime, rather than JS precompile time, so that changes to CDN configuration do not require re-compilation to take effect.
- Update UI to improve contrast
- Make it clear that the message is only shown to administrators
- Add theme name and id to the console output
- Parse the error backtrace to identify the theme-id for post-decoration errors
- Improve console output to include the theme name / URL
- Add `?safe_mode=no_custom` to the admin panel link, so that it will work even if the theme is causing the site to break
The chat quoting mechanism will need to be able to generate
markdown for all kinds of uploads. The UploadMarkdown class
was missing generation for video and audio uploads. This
commit adds that in, and also expands the server-side regex
recognition of FileHelper types to match those in uploads.js,
and adds a spec for UploadMarkdown
When a site has secure media enabled and a post is with secure
media, we were incorrectly cooking custom emoji URLs and using the
secure URL for those emojis, even though they should not be
considered secure (their corresponding upload records in the
database are _not_ secure). Now instead of the blanket
post.with_secure_media? boolean for the secure: param, we also
want to make sure the image whose URL is being cooked is also
_not_ a custom emoji.
This is intended for use by plugins which are building their own
topic lists, and want to include PMs alongside regular topics (e.g.
discourse-assign). It does not get used directly in core.
* DEV: Document external topic id endpoints
This commit documents the existing Create Topic endpoint with the
`external_id` param and documents the new get topic by external id
endpoint.
It also refactors the existing topic show endpoint to use the new format
where we load the expected json schema response from a file.
See: 71f7f7ed49
* clean up unused test variables
Breakdown of fixes in this commit:
* `UserStat#topic_count` was not updated when visibility of
the topic changed.
* `UserStat#post_count` was not updated when post was hidden or
unhidden.
* `TopicConverter` was only incrementing or decrementing the counts by 1
even if a user has multiple posts in the topic.
* The commit turns off the verbose logging by default as it is just
noise to normal users who are not debugging this problem.
- Update UI to improve contrast

This adds logic to increase an `InvitedUser` record, increase
`redemption_count` and create a `:invitee_accepted` to let the inviter
know that the invitee used the invite.
Initial support for this was implemented in commit 9969631.
In ab5361d69a, we rescue from the PG error
but the transaction is already aborted causing any DB query after to
fail. As such, we avoid triggering the error in the first place by
checking that we would not be insertin a negative number into the
counter cache.
Follow-up to ab5361d69a
Allows to write custom code blocks:
```
```mermaid height=200,foo=bar
test
```
```
Which will then get converted to:
```
<pre data-code-wrap="mermaid" data-code-height="200" data-code-foo="bar">
<code class="lang-nohighlight">
test
</code>
</pre>
```
Sorting group members worked always kept the group owners at the top of
the list. This commit keeps the group owners at the top of the list only
when no order exists.
This commits adds a new advance_draft to PostCreator that controls if
the draft sequence will be advanced or not. If the draft sequence is
advanced then the old drafts will be cleared. This used to happen for
posts created by plugins or through the API and cleared user drafts
by mistake.
There are still spots in the code base which results in us trying to turn the post and topic count negative. However,
we have a job that runs on a daily basis which will correct the count. Therefore, avoid raising an error for now
and log the exception instead.
* FEATURE: Add external_id to topics
This commit allows for topics to be created and fetched by an
external_id. These changes are API only for now as there aren't any
front changes.
* add annotations
* add external_id to this spec
* Several PR feedback changes
- Add guardian to find topic
- 403 is returned for not found as well now
- add `include_external_id?`
- external_id is now case insensitive
- added test for posts_controller
- added test for topic creator
- created constant for max length
- check that it redirects to the correct path
- restrain external id in routes file
* remove puts
* fix tests
* only check for external_id in webhook if exists
* Update index to exclude external_id if null
* annotate
* Update app/controllers/topics_controller.rb
We need to check whether the topic is present first before passing it to the guardian.

Follow up to 6f7364e48b to add a spec
that tests the full authentication of a Windows Hello algorithm (-257)
webauthn verification. The test added in that commit only tested that
we know about that algorithm, not whether it was actually usable.
* FEATURE: RS512, RS384 and RS256 COSE algorithms
These algorithms are not implemented by cose-ruby, but used in the web
authentication API and were marked as supported.
* FEATURE: Use all algorithms supported by cose-ruby
Previously only a subset of the algorithms were allowed.
This commit introduces our own handling and warning for Sidekiq's new 'non-json-serializable' warning. This decouples us from Sidekiq's own deprecation cycle, and allows us to use our own deprecation system. It also means that the dump/parse happens in test mode, which will help us to catch occurrences before they reach production.
Our discourse_public_exceptions middleware is designed to catch bubbled exceptions from lower in the stack, and then use `ApplicationController.rescue_with_handler` to render an appropriate error response.
When the request itself is invalid, we had an escape-hatch to skip re-dispatching the request to ApplicationController. However, it was possible to work around this by 'layering' the errors. For example, if you made a request which resulted in a 404, but **also** had some other invalidity, the escape hatch would not be triggered.
This commit ensures that these kind of 'layered' errors are properly handled, without logging warnings. It also adds detection for invalid JSON bodies and badly-formed multipart requests.
The user-facing behavior is unchanged. This commit simply prevents warnings being logged for invalid requests.
