Mailing list mode can generate significant email volume, especially on sites with a large user base. Disable mailing list mode via site settings by default so sites don't experience an unexpectedly large cost from outgoing email.
This commit includes other various improvements to watched words.
auto_silence_first_post_regex site setting was removed because it overlapped
with 'require approval' watched words.
Uses discourse/onebox@ff9ec90
Adds a hidden site setting called disable_onebox_media_download_controls which will add controlslist="nodownload" to video and audio oneboxes, and also to the local video and audio oneboxes within Discourse.
This setting is confusing admins, it is now hidden by default
It only applies to major updates of the rendering engine or imports and
very infrequently needs tweaking
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
- Improve warning message.
- Only display the warning if the language has a fallback and either "allow_user_locale", or "set_locale_from_accept_language_header" are enabled.
osts from topics with 'auto delete replies timer' with more than
skip_auto_delete_reply_likes likes will no longer be deleted. If 0,
all posts will be deleted.
Include the enable_filtered_replies_view site setting in the admin UI
Adds title label to in-reply-to widget
Invokes the filtered UI when using replies_to_post_number as a query
parameter
Replaces the "Show All" button icon
Fixes grammar for "Viewing 1 reply to..." label
You can let non-staff users use shared drafts by modifying the `shared_drafts_min_trust_level` site setting. These users must have access to the shared draft category.
* FIX: show/hide ignored users preferences
based on the current user trust level and the appropriate site setting.
* Allow us to await the `updateCurrentUser` call

This adds a new min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore site setting that enables admins to control the point at which a user is allowed to ignore other users.
* FEATURE: display error if Oneboxing fails due to HTTP error
- display warning if onebox URL is unresolvable
- display warning if attributes are missing
* FEATURE: Use new Instagram oEmbed endpoint if access token is configured
Instagram requires an Access Token to access their oEmbed endpoint. The requirements (from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed/) are as follows:
- a Facebook Developer account, which you can create at developers.facebook.com
- a registered Facebook app
- the oEmbed Product added to the app
- an Access Token
- The Facebook app must be in Live Mode
The generated Access Token, once added to SiteSetting.facebook_app_access_token, will be passed to onebox. Onebox can then use this token to access the oEmbed endpoint to generate a onebox for Instagram.
* DEV: update user agent string
* DEV: don’t do HEAD requests against news.yahoo.com
* DEV: Bump onebox version from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6
* DEV: Avoid re-reading templates
* DEV: Tweaks to onebox mustache templates
* DEV: simplified error message for missing onebox data
* Apply suggestions from code review

Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from Universal Analytics v3 `analytics.js` to v4 `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. We're giving admins the option to stay on the v3 API or migrate to v4. Admins can change the implementation they're using via the `ga_version` site setting. Eventually Google will deprecate v3, but our implementation gives admins the choice on what to use for now.
We chose this implementation to make the change less error prone, as many site admins are using custom events via the v3 UA API. With the site stetting defaulted to `v3_analytics`, site analytics won't break until the admin is ready to make the migration.
Additionally, in the v4 implementation, we do not enable automatic pageview tracking (on by default in the v4 API). Instead we rely on Discourse's page change API to report pageviews on transition to avoid double-tracking.
Discourse used to break from convention by logging out all sessions on any
specific session logout.
This would leave users confused about why mobile is logged out when the user
logged out of desktop.
log_out_strict is too conservative for most and not the pattern the industry
has adopted (google/twitter/facebook all perform no strict logouts)
This commit adds a site setting `auto_close_topics_create_linked_topic`
which when enabled works in conjunction with `auto_close_topics_post_count`
setting and creates a new linked topic for the topic just closed.
The auto-created new topic contains a link for all the previous topics
and the topic titles are appended with `(Part {n})`.
The setting is enabled by default.
Most proxies out there will work with chunked encoding transfer. However
some proxies buffer, causing large delays which in turn force the message
bus client to disable chunked encoding. This wastes a request to the message
bus causing superfluous load on the server.
Also
- enableLongPolling is already default true in the client, no need to set it
- remove confusing comment about zepto
Before deleting a topic that has a high number of views (default of 5000), the user will be prompted with a confirmation popup. This works for all delete buttons on the topic located in: topic-timeline, topic-admin-menu, topic-footer-buttons, and post-menu if the post's ID is 1.
The delete button will be disabled while deletion is in progress, to prevent any unwanted behavior.
A site setting is also available to change the minimum amount of views required to display the confirmation popup.
All kudos are going to @RickyC0626. I only rebased with master and added few qunit tests to ensure that this feature works as expected.
Original PR: #10459
New version of Thunderbird email client reimplemented PGP support. Now the following attachments are added by default, if email signatures are enabled:
* OpenPGP_0x(pgp key id).asc
* OpenPGP_signature(.asc)
The last one has `name="OpenPGP_signature.asc"` in `Content-Type` but `filename="OpenPGP_signature"` (without extension) in `Content-Disposition: attachment`.
Since both the key and the signature have proper MIME types, filter them by default.
* FEATURE - Add SiteSettings to control JPEG image quality
`recompress_original_jpg_quality` - the maximum quality of a newly
uploaded file.
`image_preview_jpg_quality` - the maximum quality of OptimizedImages
This was made adjustable to allow rolling back quickly if problems came
up. The new behaviour was made default in 93137066 and no problems with
this have been reported.
Dependency on gifsicle, allow_animated_avatars and allow_animated_thumbnails
site settings were all removed. Animated GIF images are still allowed, but
the generated optimized images are no longer animated for those (which were
used for avatars and thumbnails).
The added 'animated' is populated by extracting information using FastImage.
This field was used to selectively reoptimize old animations. This process
happens in the background.
Allows site administrators to pick different fonts for headings in the wizard and in their site settings. Also correctly displays the header logos in wizard previews.
Previously this site setting `embed unlisted` defaulted to false and
empty topics would be generated for embed, but those topics tend to take
up a lot of room on the topic lists.
This new default creates invisible topics by default until they receive
their first reply.
This allows administrators to stop automatic redirect to an external authenticator. It only takes effect when there is a single authentication method, and the site is login_required
It's a more user-friendly alternative to the default select-kit list,
for settings that are simple lists of items (the regular list widget is
better for settings with choice options).
The site setting `search_recent_posts_size` controls the window of posts
that we will search through before trying to search through the full index
If this number is too low then the search quality can suffer a lot as recent
posts may dominate search. If the number is too high then performance will
suffer.
This attempts to find a happy medium, 1 million posts will cover the majority
of forums out there and should perform adequately.
This is a little bit of refactoring. Core Discourse should have default promotion message for TL2.
In addition, when the Discobot plugin is enabled, the user is invited to advanced training
To check if a post contains any embedded media, we look if the "image_sizes" attribute is present in the new post manager arguments.
We want to see one boxed links, but we only store the raw content of the post. To work around this, I extracted the onebox logic from the composer editor into a module.
We are making the changes from the PR #10563 the default behaviour. Now, if secure media is enabled, secure images will be embedded in emails by default instead of redacting them and displaying a message. This will be a nicer overall experience by default, and for forums that want to be super strict with redaction this setting can always be disabled.
In some cases Discourse admins may opt for sessions not to persist when a
browser is closed.
This is particularly useful in healthcare and education settings where
computers are shared among multiple workers.
By default `persistent_sessions` site setting is enabled, to opt out you
must disable the site setting.
This PR introduces a few important changes to secure media redaction in emails. First of all, two new site settings have been introduced:
* `secure_media_allow_embed_images_in_emails`: If enabled we will embed secure images in emails instead of redacting them.
* `secure_media_max_email_embed_image_size_kb`: The cap to the size of the secure image we will embed, defaulting to 1mb, so the email does not become too big. Max is 10mb. Works in tandem with `email_total_attachment_size_limit_kb`.
`Email::Sender` will now attach images to the email based on these settings. The sender will also call `inline_secure_images` in `Email::Styles` after secure media is redacted and attachments are added to replace redaction messages with attached images. I went with attachment and `cid` URLs because base64 image support is _still_ flaky in email clients.
All redaction of secure media is now handled in `Email::Styles` and calls out to `PrettyText.strip_secure_media` to do the actual stripping and replacing with placeholders. `app/mailers/group_smtp_mailer.rb` and `app/mailers/user_notifications.rb` no longer do any stripping because they are earlier in the pipeline than `Email::Styles`.
Finally the redaction notice has been restyled and includes a link to the media that the user can click, which will show it to them if they have the necessary permissions.
This commit adds a new site setting "allowed_onebox_iframes". By default, all onebox iframes are allowed. When the list of domains is restricted, Onebox will automatically skip engines which require those domains, and use a fallback engine.
With the addition of `PostSearchData#private_message`, a partial
index consisting of only search data from regular posts can be created.
The partial index helps to speed up searches on large sites since PG
will not have to do an index scan on the entire search data index which
has shown to be a bottle neck.
Like "default watching" and "default tracking" categories option now the "regular" categories support is added. It will be useful for sites that are muted by default. The user option will be displayed only if `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting is enabled.
Enabling the moderators_manage_categories_and_groups site setting will allow moderator users to create/manage groups.
* show New Group form to moderators
* Allow moderators to update groups and read logs, where appropriate
* Rename site setting from create -> manage
* improved tests
* Migration should rename old log entries
* Log group changes, even if those changes mean you can no longer see the group
* Slight reshuffle
* RouteTo /g if they no longer have permissions to view group
A first step to adding automatic dark mode color scheme switching. Adds a new SCSS file at `color_definitions.scss` that serves to output all SCSS color variables as CSS custom properties. And replaces all SCSS color variables with the new CSS custom properties throughout the stylesheets.
This is an alpha feature at this point, can only be enabled via console using the `default_dark_mode_color_scheme_id` site setting.
In 1bd8a075, a hidden site setting was added that causes Email::Styles
to treat its input as a complete document in all cases.
This commit enables that setting by default.
Some tests were removed that were broken by this change. They tested the
behaviour of applying email styles to empty strings. They weren't useful
because:
* Sending empty email is not something we ever intend to do,
* They were testing incidental behaviour - there are lots of
valid ways to process the empty string,
* Their intent wasn't clear from their descriptions,
Considering document length in search introduced too much variance in
our search results such that it makes certain searches better but at the
same time made certain searches worst. Instead, we want to have a more
determistic way of ranking search so that it is easier to reason about
why a post is rank higher in search than another.
The long term plan to tackle repeated terms is to restrict the number of
positions for a given lexeme in our search index.
```
discourse_development=# SELECT alias, lexemes FROM TS_DEBUG('www.discourse.org');
alias | lexemes
-------+---------------------
host | {www.discourse.org}
discourse_development=# SELECT TO_TSVECTOR('www.discourse.org');
to_tsvector
-----------------------
'www.discourse.org':1
```
Given the above lexeme, we will inject additional lexeme by splitting
the host on `.`. The actual tsvector stored will look something like
```
tsvector
---------------------------------------
'discourse':1 'discourse.org':1 'org':1 'www':1 'www.discourse.org':1
```
`Nokogiri::HTML.fragment` is a huge hack (a comment in the source code
admits this). The current behavior of `Email::Styles` is to try to
emulate `fragment` using nokogumbo, but it misses some edge cases. In
particular, meta tags in a email template don't make it through to the
final email.
Instead of treating the provided HTML as an indeterminate fragment, this
commit makes `Email::Styles` treat the HTML as a complete document. This
means that the generated HTML for an email will now always contain top
level structure (a doctype, html, head and body tags).
This new behavior is behind a hidden site setting for now and defaults
off.
Previously we would include this section, unfortunately
1. It is usually elided in gmail
2. It can make the emails longer and more confusing
3. Omission is a feature, it means people need to visit site to get context
There is a feature in search where we take over from the tokenizer
in postgres and attempt to inject more words into search.
So for example: sam.i.am will inject the words i and am.
This is not ideal cause there are many edge cases and this can
cause extreme index bloat.
This is an opening move commit to make it configurable, over the
next few weeks we will evaluate and decide if we disable this by
default or simply remove.
Adds new hidden site settings for rate limits:
30 for logged in users, 15 for anon
Adds an anon cache for searching, caches results of searches for 1 minute
* FEATURE: notify admins about old credentials
Security and API keys should be renewed periodically.
This additional notification should help admins keep their Discourse safe and secure.
* FEATURE: notify admins about old credentials
Security and API keys should be renewed periodically.
This additional notification should help admins keep their Discourse safe and secure.
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
Adds a new topic_excerpt_maxlength site setting.
* When topic excerpt is requested for a post, use the new topic_excerpt_maxlength site setting to limit the size of the excerpt
* Remove code for getting/setting Post.excerpt_size as it is not used anywhere
Some providers don't implement the Expect: 100-continue support,
which results in a mismatch in the object signature.
With this settings, users can disable the header and use such providers.
* Rename all instances of bookmarkWithReminder and bookmark_with_reminder to just bookmark
* Delete old bookmark code at the same time
* Add migration to remove the bookmarkWithReminder post menu item if people have it set in site settings
This adds a site setting (default off) to optionally show a user's local time and timezone in their user card. For example, I live in Brisbane, and if at 3:30PM my time I were to open a user who lives in California's card I would see 22:30 (PST).
This reverts commit 6f9177e2ed.
We decided on a completely different approach to the problem.
Instead we will let blocked emails be treated as canonical.
The main thrust of this PR is to take all the conditional checks based on the `enable_bookmarks_with_reminders` away and only keep the code from the `true` path, making bookmarks with reminders the core bookmarks feature. There is also a migration to create `Bookmark` records out of `PostAction` bookmarks for a site.
### Summary
* Remove logic based on whether enable_bookmarks_with_reminders is true. This site setting is now obsolete, the old bookmark functionality is being removed. Retain the setting and set the value to `true` in a migration.
* Use the code from the rake task to create a database migration that creates bookmarks from post actions.
* Change the bookmark report to read from the new table.
* Get rid of old endpoints for bookmarks
* Link to the new bookmarks list from the user summary page
The new `enforce_canonical_emails` site setting ensures that emails in the
canonical form are unique.
This mean that if `s.a.m+1@gmail.com` is registered `sam@gmail.com` will
not be allowed.
The commit contains a blanket "tag strip" (stripping everything after +)
it also contains special handling of a "dot strip" for googlemail and gmail.
The setting only impacts new registrations after `enforce_canonical_emails`
The setting is default false so it will not impact any existing installs.
If the feature is enabled, staff members can construct a URL and publish a
topic for others to browse without the regular Discourse chrome.
This is useful if you want to use Discourse like a CMS and publish
topics as articles, which can then be embedded into other systems.
* FEATURE: add setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to auto approve users
This commit adds a new site setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to
auto approve users based on their email address domain.
Note that if a domain already exists in `email_domains_whitelist` then
`auto_approve_email_domains` needs to be duplicated there as well,
since users won’t be able to register with email address that is
not allowed in `email_domains_whitelist`.
* Update config/locales/server.en.yml

On some sites when bootstrapping communities it is helpful to bootstrap
with a "light weight" invite code.
Use the site setting `invite_code` to set a global invite code.
In this case the administrator can share the code with
a community which is very easy to remember and then anyone who has
that code can easily register accounts.
People without the invite code are not allowed account registration.
Global invite codes are less secure than indevidual codes, in that they
tend to leak in the community however in some cases when starting a brand
new community the security guarantees of invites are not needed.
Add enable_bookmark_at_desktop_reminders site setting default to false a new hidden site setting to hide the "At Desktop" reminder option so we can restrict this further until it is polished.
Adds 3 config values that allow to set a custom provider of Gravatar-like API accessible from gravatar_base_url. The gravatar_name is purely cosmetic, but helps with associating name with the service that actually provides the avatars. gravatar_login_url is a link relative to gravatar_base_url, which provides the user with the login to the Gravatar service
In some documentation heavy sites larger posts may be desirable.
This is not a setting to change without thinking, however where it is
needed it can make sense. Allow for a 50% increase in max over our
previous maximum.
The old limit of 99000 is arbitrary. Stuff gets riskier the longer posts
get especially with complex markdown, however 99000 is not a threshold
where stuff automatically breaks.
Introduces a new site setting `max_notifications_per_user`.
Out-of-the-box this is set to 10,000. If a user exceeds this number of
notifications, we will delete the oldest notifications keeping only 10,000.
To disable this safeguard set the setting to 0.
Enforcement happens weekly.
This is in place to protect the system from pathological states where a
single user has enormous amounts of notifications causing various queries
to time out. In practice nobody looks back more than a few hundred notifications.
This setting is very high risk and can potentially break all
sorts of features.
To avoid complications and save people from themselves we are
hiding the site setting.
It can still be modified using the console if absolutely needed.
When 'categories topics' setting is set to 0, the system will
automatically try to find a value to keep the two columns (categories
and topics) symmetrical.
The value is computed as 1.5x the number of top level categories and at
least 5 topics will always be returned.
Adds a new route `/u/{username}/card.json`, which has a reduced number of fields. This change is behind a hidden site setting, so we can test compatibility before rolling out.
This reverts commit 3193b0f6e6.
This is a temporary revert, we are seeing some CI failures due to this
change so I am reverting till we sort out all the problems.
