This can no longer be used from the user interface and could be used to
generate useless topic invites notifications. This commit adds site
setting max_topic_invitations_per_minute to prevent invite spam.
Hard deleting topics that contained soft deleted posts or small actions
used to create orphan posts because only the first post was hard
deleted. This commit adds an error message if there are still posts left
in the topic that must be hard deleted first or hard deletes all small
actions too immediately (there is no other way of hard deleting a small
action because there is no wrench menu).
Before, whispers were only available for staff members.
Config has been changed to allow to configure privileged groups with access to whispers. Post migration was added to move from the old setting into the new one.
I considered having a boolean column `whisperer` on user model similar to `admin/moderator` for performance reason. Finally, I decided to keep looking for groups as queries are only done for current user and didn't notice any N+1 queries.
This commit migrates all bookmarks to be polymorphic (using the
bookmarkable_id and bookmarkable_type) columns. It also deletes
all the old code guarded behind the use_polymorphic_bookmarks setting
and changes that setting to true for all sites and by default for
the sake of plugins.
No data is deleted in the migrations, the old post_id and for_topic
columns for bookmarks will be dropped later on.
* DEV: Allow params to be passed on topic redirects
There are several places where we redirect a url to a standard topic url
like `/t/:slug/:topic_id` but we weren't always passing query parameters
to the new url.
This change allows a few more query params to be included on the
redirect. The new params that are permitted are page, print, and
filter_top_level_replies. Any new params will need to be specified.
This also prevents the odd trailing empty page param that would
sometimes appear on a redirect. `/t/:slug/:id.json?page=`
* rubocop: fix missing space after comma
* fix another page= reference
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
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.

* 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.

When the record is not saved, we should display a proper message.
One potential reason can be plugins for example discourse-calendar is specifying that only first post can contain event
Sometimes administrators want to permanently delete posts and topics
from the database. To make sure that this is done for a good reasons,
administrators can do this only after one minute has passed since the
post was deleted or immediately if another administrator does it.
This partially reverts commit ddb458343d.
Seeing performance degrade on larger sites so back to drawing board on
this one. Instead of the DISTINCT LEFT JOIN, we switch back to
IN(subquery).
First reported in https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/202482/19
There are two optimizations being applied here:
1. Fetch a user's group ids in a seperate query instead of including it
as a sub-query. When I tried a subquery, the query plan becomes very
inefficient.
1. Join against the `topic_allowed_users` and `topic_allowed_groups`
table instead of doing an IN against a subquery where we UNION the
`topic_id`s from the two tables. From my profiling, this enables PG to
do a backwards index scan on the `index_topics_on_timestamps_private`
index.
This commit fixes a bug where listing all messages was incorrectly
excluding topics if a topic has been archived by a group even if the
user did not belong to the group.
This commit also fixes another bug where dismissing private messages
selectively was subjected to the default limit of 30.
When a user archives a personal message, they are redirected back to the
inbox and will refresh the list of the topics for the given filter.
Publishing an event to the user results in an incorrect incoming message
because the list of topics has already been refreshed.
This does mean that if a user has two tabs opened, the non-active tab
will not receive the incoming message but at this point we do not think
the technical trade-offs are worth it to support this feature. We
basically have to somehow exclude a client from an incoming message
which is not easy to do.
Follow-up to fc1fd1b416
Since ad3ec5809f when a user chooses
the Dismiss New... option in the New topic list, we send a request
to topics/reset-new.json with ?tracked=false as the only parameter.
This then uses Topic as the scope for topics to dismiss, with no
other limitations. When we do topic_scope.pluck(:id), it gets the
ID of every single topic in the database (that is not deleted) to
pass to TopicsBulkAction, causing a huge query with severe performance
issues.
This commit changes the default scope to use
`TopicQuery.new(current_user).new_results(limit: false)`
which should only use the topics in the user's New list, which
will be a much smaller list, depending on the user's "new_topic_duration_minutes"
setting.
ATM it only implements server side of it, as my need is for automation purposes. However it should probably be added in the UI too as it's unexpected to have pinned_until and no bannered_until.
When dismissing new topics for the Tracked filter, the dismiss was
limited to 30 topics which is the default per page count for TopicQuery.
This happened even if you specified which topic IDs you were
selectively dismissing. This PR fixes that bug, and also moves
the per_page_count into a DEFAULT_PER_PAGE_COUNT for the TopicQuery
so it can be stubbed in tests.
Also moves the unused stub_const method into the spec helpers
for cases like this; it is much better to handle this in one place
with an ensure. In a follow up PR I will clean up other specs that
do the same thing and make them use stub_const.
I merged this PR in yesterday, finally thinking this was done https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12958 but then a wild performance regression occurred. These are the problem methods:
1aa20bd681/app/serializers/topic_tracking_state_serializer.rb (L13-L21)
Turns out date comparison is super expensive on the backend _as well as_ the frontend.
The fix was to just move the `treat_as_new_topic_start_date` into the SQL query rather than using the slower `UserOption#treat_as_new_topic_start_date` method in ruby. After this change, 1% of the total time is spent with the `created_in_new_period` comparison instead of ~20%.

History:
Original PR which had to be reverted **https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12555**. See the description there for what this PR is achieving, plus below.
The issue with the original PR is addressed in 92ef54f402
If you went to the `x unread` link for a tag Chrome would freeze up and possibly crash, or eventually unfreeze after nearly 10 mins. Other routes for unread/new were similarly slow. From profiling the issue was the `sync` function of `topic-tracking-state.js`, which calls down to `isNew` which in turn calls `moment`, a change I had made in the PR above. The time it takes locally with ~1400 topics in the tracking state is 2.3 seconds.
To solve this issue, I have moved these calculations for "created in new period" and "unread not too old" into the tracking state serializer.
When I was looking at the profiler I also noticed this issue which was just compounding the problem. Every time we modify topic tracking state we recalculate the sidebar tracking/everything/tag counts. However this calls `forEachTracked` and `countTags` which can be quite expensive as they go through the whole tracking state (and were also calling the removed moment functions).
I added some logs and this was being called 30 times when navigating to a new /unread route because `sync` is being called from `build-topic-route` (one for each topic loaded due to pagination). So I just added a debounce here and it makes things even faster.
Finally, I changed topic tracking state to use a Map so our counts of the state keys is faster (Maps have .size whereas objects you have to do Object.keys(obj) which is O(n).)

This PR improves the UI of bulk select so that its context is applied to the Dismiss Unread and Dismiss New buttons. Regular users (not just staff) are now able to use topic bulk selection on the /new and /unread routes to perform these dismiss actions more selectively.
For Dismiss Unread, there is a new count in the text of the button and in the modal when one or more topic is selected with the bulk select checkboxes.
For Dismiss New, there is a count in the button text, and we have added functionality to the server side to accept an array of topic ids to dismiss new for, instead of always having to dismiss all new, the same as the bulk dismiss unread functionality. To clean things up, the `DismissTopics` service has been rolled into the `TopicsBulkAction` service.
We now also show the top Dismiss/Dismiss New button based on whether the bottom one is in the viewport, not just based on the topic count.
The aim of this PR is to improve the topic tracking state JavaScript code and test coverage so further modifications can be made in plugins and in core. This is focused on making topic tracking state changes easier to respond to with callbacks, and changing it so all state modifications go through a single method instead of modifying `this.state` all over the place. I have also tried to improve documentation, make the code clearer and easier to follow, and make it clear what are public and private methods.
The changes I have made here should not break backwards compatibility, though there is no way to tell for sure if other plugin/theme authors are using tracking state methods that are essentially private methods. Any name changes made in the tracking-state.js code have been reflected in core.
----
We now have a `_trackedTopicLimit` in the tracking state. Previously, if a topic was neither new nor unread it was removed from the tracking state; now it is only removed if we are tracking more than `_trackedTopicLimit` topics (which is set to 4000). This is so plugins/themes adding topics with `TopicTrackingState.register_refine_method` can add topics to track that aren't necessarily new or unread, e.g. for totals counts.
Anywhere where we were doing `tracker.states["t" + data.topic_id] = newObject` has now been changed to flow through central `modifyState` and `modifyStateProp` methods. This is so state objects are not modified until they need to be (e.g. sometimes properties are set based on certain conditions) and also so we can run callback functions when the state is modified.
I added `onStateChange` and `onMessageIncrement` methods to register callbacks that are called when the state is changed and when the message count is incremented, respectively. This was done so we no longer need to do things like `@observes("trackingState.states")` in other Ember classes.
I split up giant functions like `sync` and `establishChannels` into smaller functions for readability and testability, and renamed many small functions to _functionName to designate them as private functions which not be called by consumers of `topicTrackingState`. Public functions are now all documented (well...at least ones that are not immediately obvious).
----
On the backend side, I have changed the MessageBus publish events for TopicTrackingState to send back tags and tag IDs for more channels, and done some extra code cleanup and refactoring. Plugins may override `TopicTrackingState.report` so I have made its footprint as small as possible and externalised the main parts of it into other methods.
The old share modal used to host both share and invite functionality,
under two tabs. The new "Share Topic" modal can be used only for
sharing, but has a link to the invite modal.
Among the sharing methods, there is also "Notify" which points out
that existing users will simply be notified (this was not clear
before). Staff members can notify as many users as they want, but
regular users are restricted to one at a time, no more than
max_topic_invitations_per_day. The user will not receive another
notification if they have been notified of the same topic in past hour.
The "Create Invite" modal also suffered some changes: the two radio
boxes for selecting the type (invite or email) have been replaced by a
single checkbox (is email?) and then the two labels about emails have
been replaced by a single one, some fields were reordered and the
advanced options toggle was moved to the bottom right of the modal.
* FEATURE: allow category group moderators to pin/unpin topics
Category group moderators should be able to pin/unpin any topics within a category where they have appropraite category group moderator permissions.
Original PR was reverted because of broken migration https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12058
I fixed it by adding this line
```
AND topics.id IN(SELECT id FROM topics ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT :max_new_topics)
```
This time it is left joining a limited amount of topics. I tested it on few databases and it worked quite smooth
Follow up https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/11968
Dismiss all new topics using the same DismissTopicService. In addition, MessageBus receives exact topic ids which should be marked as `seen`.
* FEATURE: Ability to dismiss new topics in a specific tag
Follow up of https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/11927
Using the same mechanism to disable new topics in a tag.
* FIX: respect when category and tag is selected
This PR allows entering a float value for topic timers e.g. 0.5 for 30 minutes when entering hours, 0.5 for 12 hours when entering days. This is achieved by adding a new column to store the duration of a topic timer in minutes instead of the ambiguous both hours and days that it could be before.
This PR has ommitted the post migration to delete the duration column in topic timers; it will be done in a subsequent PR to ensure that no data is lost if the UPDATE query to set duration_mintues fails.
I have to keep the old keyword of duration in set_or_create_topic_timer for backwards compat, will remove at a later date after plugins are updated.
This is a try to simplify logic around dismiss new topics to have one solution to work in all places - dismiss all-new, dismiss new in a specific category or even in a specific tag.
It used to change the category of the topic, instead of the destination
category (topic.category_id instead of topic.shared_draft.category_id).
The shared drafts controls were displayed only if the current category
matched the 'shared drafts category', which was not true for shared
drafts that had their categories changed (affected by the previous bug).
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.
