Googlebot handles no-index headers very elegantly. It advises to leave as many routes as possible open and uses headers for high fidelity rules regarding indexes.
Discourse adds special `x-robot-tags` noindex headers to users, badges, groups, search and tag routes.
Following up on b52143feff we now have it so Googlebot gets special handling.
Rest of the crawlers get a far more aggressive disallow list to protect against excessive crawling.
This is an edge-case of 9fb3629. An admin could set the shared draft category to one where both TL2 and TL3 users have access but only give shared draft access to TL3 users. If something like this happens, we need to make sure that TL2 users won't be able to see them, and they won't be listed on latest.
Before this change, `SharedDrafts` were lazily created when a destination category was selected. We now create it alongside the topic and set the destination to the same shared draft category.
* FEATURE: Allow categroy group moderators to list/unlist topics
If enabled via SiteSettings, a user belonging to a group which has been granted category group moderator privileges should be able to list/unlist topics belonging to the appropraite category.
25563357 moved the logout redirect logic from the client-side to the server-side. Unfortunately the login_required check was lost during the refactoring which meant that non-login-required sites would redirect to `/login` after redirect, and immediately restart the login process. Depending on the SSO implementation, that can make it impossible for users to log out cleanly.
This commit restores the login_required check, and prevents the potential redirect loop.
We should always hide user_id in response when `hide_email_address_taken` setting is enabled. Currently, it can be used to determine if the email was used or not.
This ensures that users are only served cached content in their own language. This commit also refactors to make use of the `Discourse.cache` framework rather than direct redis access
User directory items are sorted by some activity metric. If those metrics have the same value, postgres does not guarantee the order in which they will be returned. This can cause issues in pagination - some users may appear twice, and some may be missed. To illustrate
```
pry(main)> query = DirectoryItem.where(period_type: DirectoryItem.period_types[:weekly]).order(:likes_received).limit(50);
pry(main)> page1 = query.offset(0).pluck(:id);
pry(main)> page2 = query.offset(50).pluck(:id);
pry(main)> (page1 & page2).count # users on both pages
=> 29
```
If we use the primary key to tie-break matching metrics, things are much more reliable
```
pry(main)> query = DirectoryItem.where(period_type: DirectoryItem.period_types[:weekly]).order(:likes_received, :id).limit(50);
pry(main)> page1 = query.offset(0).pluck(:id);
pry(main)> page2 = query.offset(50).pluck(:id);
pry(main)> (page1 & page2).count # users on both pages
=> 0
```
This most commonly effects new sites where all the directory metrics are zero.
The fact that the ordering is indeterminate makes it difficult to write a reliable test case for this.
- Display reason for validation error when logging in via an authenticator
- Fix email validation handling for 'Discourse SSO', and add a spec
Previously, validation errors (e.g. blocked or already-taken emails) would raise a generic error with no useful information.
At the moment, when filtering by group, the directory will unconditionally return the current user at the top of the list. This is quite unexpected, given that the user is deliberately trying to filter the list. This commit makes sure the 'include current user' logic only triggers for unfiltered directories
Themes marked for auto update will be automatically updated when
Discourse is updated. This is triggered by discourse_docker or
docker_manager running Rake task 'themes:update'.
Allowing the editing of remote themes has been something Discourse has advised against for some time. This commit removes the ability to edit or upload files to remote themes from Admin > Customize to enforce the recommended practice.
Previously, `/u/by-external/{id}` would only work for 'Discourse SSO' systems. This commit adds a new 'provider' parameter to the URL: `/u/by-external/{provider}/{id}`
This is compatible with all auth methods which have migrated to the 'ManagedAuthenticator' pattern. That includes all core providers, and also popular plugins such as discourse-oauth2-basic and discourse-openid-connect.
The new route is admin-only, since some authenticators use sensitive information like email addresses as the external id.
disable_search_queue_threshold needs to be coerced to a float so it is not
treated as a string when sub second values are provided.
Longer term fix is to possibly provide hints in the config so we do the
coersion automatically. However this would be a far more complex change.
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.
* FEATURE - allow category group moderators to delete topics
* Allow individual posts to be deleted
* DEV - refactor for new `can_moderate_topic?` method
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.
- IgnoredUser records should all now have an expiring_at value. This commit enforces that in the DB, and fixes any corrupt rows
- Changes to the ignored user list are now handled by the `/u/{username}/notification_level` endpoint. This allows setting expiration dates on the ignore. This commit removes the old logic for saving a list of usernames in the user preferences.
- Many specs were calling `IgnoredUser.create`. This commit changes them to use `Fabricate(:ignored_user)` for consistency
This reverts commit e3de45359f.
We need to improve out strategy by adding a cache breaker with this change ... some assets on CDNs and clients may have incorrect CORS headers which can cause stuff to break.
Previously if a onebox timed out we would not present the users in the log
with any information regarding the onebox. This makes it very difficult to
debug.
This adds url/topic/user in the debugging output.
