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.
The 5s difference was causing anon clients to have ~5s gaps between their long-polling requests. On busy sites, this could be enough time for them to build up a backlog, which then becomes much more expensive for us on the server-side.
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
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.
To make this possible in development mode, the `sourceURL=` implementation needs to include something plugin-specific. This has no effect on production.
The asset version is bumped in order to trigger a re-compilation of plugin JS assets.
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
Inspired by [this suggestion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-a-here-mention/217878/3) from G Ann Campbell
> I suppose the description of the “here mention” field could be improved to something like:
> "Name used for @here mention to allow a privileged user to notify up to 10 people participating in the thread. Must not…"
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.

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>
```
* 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.

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.
This can be disabled by setting `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`, but this option will not be available for long. If your theme/plugin/site has issues under Ember CLI, please open a topic on https://meta.discourse.org
This allows plugins to override the permissions required to access
specific things like the Logster and Sidekiq web UI without the changes
leaking to the rest of Discourse routes.
This commit allows group SMTP emails to be sent with a
different from email address that has been set up as an
alias in the email provider. Emails from the alias will
be grouped correctly using Message-IDs in the mail client,
and replies to the alias go into the correct group inbox.
* Chinese segmenetation will continue to rely on cppjieba
* Japanese segmentation will use our port of TinySegmenter
* Korean currently does not rely on segmentation which was dropped in c677877e4f
* SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese_japanese_korean has been split
into SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese and
SiteSetting.search_tokenize_japanese respectively
Most of our logging goes through Rails.logger, and therefore appears in Logster at `/logs` on a site. The Sidekiq logger was bypassing this and writing directly to STDERR.
Unfortunately it's not possible to do `Sidekiq.logger = Rails.logger` because `Sidekiq#logger=` applies a number of patches to the logger instance, causing our whole logging system to break.
Instead, this commit adds a dedicated Logger instance with no output, which is then patched to forward all messages directly to `Rails.logger`
- Limit bulk re-invite to 1 time per day
- Move bulk invite by csv behind a site setting (hidden by default)
- Bump invite expiry from 30 -> 90 days
## Updates to rate_limiter
When limiting reinvites I found that **staff** are never limited in any way. So I updated the **rate_limiter** model to allow for a few things:
- add an optional param of `staff_limit`, which (when included and passed values, and the user passes `.staff?`) will override the default `max` & `secs` values and apply them to the user.
- in the case you **do** pass values to `staff_limit` but the user **does not** pass `staff?` the standard `max` & `secs` values will be applied to the user.
This should give us enough flexibility to
1. continue to apply a strict rate limit to a standard user
2. but also apply a secondary (less strict) limit to staff
This commit adds a hover effect for drag and drop in
the admin emoji uploader. It also changes the "Add New
Emoji" button to open the file selector; previously it
was useless because it was disabled unless a name was
entered (which is not even a requirement for the emoji)
and also it didn't actually do anything on click even
if it wasn't disabled.
Now we have a way of adding files without having to drag
and drop them, which is nice.
Also in this PR, there was no indication before that the upload was
complete apart from the button becoming enabled again.
This commit adds the highlight class to the emoji list
and removes it once the highlight fade animation is done,
like we do for new posts.
* FIX: Pass category and tag IDs to the emit webhook event job.
Like webhooks won't fire when they're scoped to specific categories or tags because we're not passing the data to the job that emits it.
* Update config/initializers/012-web_hook_events.rb

This reverts commit 2c7906999a.
The changes break some things in local development (putting JS files
into minified files, not allowing debugger, and others)
This reverts commit ea84a82f77.
This is causing problems with `/theme-qunit` on legacy, non-ember-cli production sites. Reverting while we work on a fix
This is quite complex as it means that in production we have to build
Ember CLI test files and allow them to be used by our Rails application.
There is a fair bit of glue we can remove in the future once we move to
Ember CLI completely.
The `plugin:pull_compatible_all` task is intended to take incompatible plugins and downgrade them to an earlier version. Problem is, when running the rake task in development/production environments, the plugins have already been activated. If an incompatible plugin raises an error in `plugin.rb` then the rake task will be unable to start.
This commit centralises our LOAD_PLUGINS detection, adds support for LOAD_PLUGINS=0 in dev/prod, and adds a warning to `plugin:pull_compatible_all` if it's run with plugins enabled.
An admin could search for all screened ip addresses in a block by
using wildcards. 192.168.* returned all IPs in range 192.168.0.0/16.
This feature allows admins to search for a single IP address in all
screened IP blocks. 192.168.0.1 returns all IP blocks that match it,
for example 192.168.0.0/16.
* FEATURE: Remove roll up button for screened IPs
* FIX: Match more specific screened IP address first
The new warnings cover more cases and more accurate. Most of the
warnings will be visible only to staff members because otherwise they
would leak information about user's preferences.
Also:
* Remove an unused method (#fill_email)
* Replace a method that was used just once (#generate_username) with `SecureRandom.alphanumeric`
* Remove an obsolete dev puma `tmp/restart` file logic
* File.exists? is deprecated and removed in Ruby 3.2 in favor of
File.exist?
* Dir.exists? is deprecated and removed in Ruby 3.2 in favor of
Dir.exist?
If a theme/plugin raises an error while decorating post content, the decorator will be skipped, and the error reported on the console. Additionally, administrators will be shown a red warning at the top of the screen.
This commit refactors and re-uses some of the logic from the theme-initializer-error-reporting logic. In future, new error reports can be added by doing something like:
```
document.dispatchEvent(
new CustomEvent("discourse-error", {
detail: { messageKey: "some.translation.key", error },
})
);
```
This commit adds a check that runs regularly as per
2d68e5d942 which tests the
credentials of groups with SMTP or IMAP enabled. If any issues
are found with those credentials a high priority problem is added to the
admin dashboard.
This commit also formats the admin dashboard differently if
there are high priority problems, bringing them to the top of
the list and highlighting them.
The problem will be cleared if the issue is fixed before the next
problem check, or if the group's settings are updated with a valid
credential.
The previous default aspect ratio for cropping tall images was a little
too strict and was cutting off images. This new setting should allow for
a larger range of image sizes before cropping them.
This commit removes the enable_experimental_backup_uploader site
setting and the flags in backups-index.hbs to make the uppy
backup uploader the main one from now on.
A follow-up commit will delete the old backup uploader code and
also remove resumable.js from the project.
* FEATURE: hide_email_address_taken forces use of email in forgot password form
This strengthens this site setting which is meant to be used to harden sites
that are experiencing abuse on forgot password routes.
Previously we would only deny letting people know if forgot password worked on not
New change also bans usage of username for forgot password when enabled
MessageBus::Diagnostics allows anyone with access to carry out certain
operations that may result in a denial of service. The impact of this is
greater on multisiite clusters.
We send the reminder using the GroupMessage class, which supports removing previous messages. We can't match them by raw because they could mention different moderators. Also, I had to change the subject to remove dynamically generated values, which is necessary for finding them.
This commit introduces a new site setting "google_oauth2_hd_groups". If enabled, group information will be fetched from Google during authentication, and stored in the Discourse database. These 'associated groups' can be connected to a Discourse group via the "Membership" tab of the group preferences UI.
The majority of the implementation is generic, so we will be able to add support to more authentication methods in the near future.

We don't need it anymore. Actually, I removed using of it on the client side a long time ago, when I was working on improving blank page syndrome on user activity pages (see https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/14311).
This PR also removes some old resource strings that we don't use anymore. We have new strings for blank pages.
We have a couple of site setting, `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` and `slow_down_crawler_rate`, that are meant to allow site owners to signal to specific crawlers that they're crawling the site too aggressively and that they should slow down.
When a crawler is added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting, Discourse currently adds a `Crawl-delay` directive for that crawler in `/robots.txt`. Unfortunately, many crawlers don't support the `Crawl-delay` directive in `/robots.txt` which leaves the site owners no options if a crawler is crawling the site too aggressively.
This PR replaces the `Crawl-delay` directive with proper rate limiting for crawlers added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list. On every request made by a non-logged in user, Discourse will check the User Agent string and if it contains one of the values of the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list, Discourse will only allow 1 request every N seconds for that User Agent (N is the value of the `slow_down_crawler_rate` setting) and the rest of requests made within the same interval will get a 429 response.
The `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting becomes quite dangerous with this PR since it could rate limit lots if not all of anonymous traffic if the setting is not used appropriately. So to protect against this scenario, we've added a couple of new validations to the setting when it's changed:
1) each value added to setting must 3 characters or longer
2) each value cannot be a substring of tokens found in popular browser User Agent. The current list of prohibited values is: apple, windows, linux, ubuntu, gecko, firefox, chrome, safari, applewebkit, webkit, mozilla, macintosh, khtml, intel, osx, os x, iphone, ipad and mac.
This is a big change to change over to using the uppy
upload mixin in the composer by default. This gets rid
of the temporary composer-editor-uppy component, as well
as removing the old ComposerUpload mixin and copying over
any missing functions that were not yet implemented by
ComposerUploadUppy. This has been working well on our
hosting for some time now and has led us to several
bug fixes.
This commit also deletes the old plugin API for adding
preprocessors for the uploads. The accepted method of doing
this now is via an uppy preprocessor plugin, which we have
several examples of in the core codebase.
Leaving the `enable_experimental_composer_uploader` site setting
intact for now because some plugins still rely on it, this
will be removed at a later date.
One step closer to ending the jQuery file uploader saga...
Currently when a user creates posts that are moderated (for whatever
reason), a popup is displayed saying the post needs approval and the
total number of the user’s pending posts. But then this piece of
information is kind of lost and there is nowhere for the user to know
what are their pending posts or how many there are.
This patch solves this issue by adding a new “Pending” section to the
user’s activity page when there are some pending posts to display. When
there are none, then the “Pending” section isn’t displayed at all.
* FEATURE: Optionally send a 'noindex' header in non-canonical responses
This will be used in a SEO experiment.

When this setting is turned on, it will check that normalized emails
are unique. Normalized emails are emails without any dots or plus
aliases.
This setting can be used to block use of aliases of the same email
address.
Use @here to mention all users that were allowed to topic directly or
through group, who liked topics or read the topic. Only first 10 users
will be notified.
