This commit moves the generation of category background CSS from the
server side to the client side. This simplifies the server side code
because it does not need to check which categories are visible to the
current user.
This commit operates at three levels of abstraction:
1. We want to prevent user history rows from being unbounded in size.
This commit adds rails validations to limit the sizes of columns on
user_histories,
2. However, we don't want to prevent certain actions from being
completed if these columns are too long. In those cases, we truncate
the values that are given and store the truncated versions,
3. For endpoints that perform staff actions, we can further control
what is permitted by explicitly validating the params that are given
before attempting the action,
Why this change?
When editing a objects typed theme setting, the input fields which are
rendered should include a description so that the user knows the purpose
of the field which they are changing.
What does this change do?
This change adds support for adding description to each property in the
schema for an object by following a given convention in the locale file.
For a schema like this:
```
objects_setting:
type: objects
schema:
name: section
properties:
name:
type: string
required: true
links:
type: objects
schema:
name: link
properties:
name:
type: string
required: true
validations:
max_length: 20
url:
type: string
```
Description for each property in the object can be added like so:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
objects_setting:
description: <description> for the setting
schema:
properties:
name: <description for the name property>
links:
name: <description for the name property in link>
url: <description for the url property in link>
```
If the a description is not present, the input field will simply not
have an description.
Also note that a description for a theme setting can now be added like
so:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
some_other_setting: <This will be used as the description>
objects_setting:
description: <This will also be used as the description>
```
In AdminDashboardData we have a bunch of problem checks implemented as methods on that class. This PR absolves it of the responsibility by promoting each of those checks to a first class ProblemCheck. This way each of them can have their own priority and arbitrary functionality can be isolated in its own class.
Think "extract class" refactoring over and over. Since they were all moved we can also get rid of the @@problem_syms class variable which was basically the old version of the registry now replaced by ProblemCheck.realtime.
In addition AdminDashboardData::Problem value object has been entirely replaced with the new ProblemCheck::Problem (with compatible API).
Lastly, I added some RSpec matchers to simplify testing of problem checks and provide helpful error messages when assertions fail.
With the new admin sidebar restructure, we have a link to "Installed plugins". We would like to ensure that when the admin is searching for a plugin name like "akismet" or "automation" this link will be visible. Also when entering the plugins page, related plugins should be highlighted.
Why this change?
Previously, we identified that ActiveRecord's PostgreSQL adapter
executes 3 db queries each time a new connection is created. The 3 db
queries was identified when we looked at the `pg_stats_statement` table
on one of our multisite production cluster. At that time, the hypothesis
is that because we were agressively reaping and creating connections,
the db queries executed each time a connection is created is wasting
resources on our database servers. However, we didn't see any the needle
move much on our servers after deploying the patch so we have decided to
drop this patch as it makes it harder for us to upgrade ActiveRecord in
the future.
Why this change?
Prior to this change, there is no description being displayed for
objects typed theme setting because we were rendering a button instead
of the components for the various setting types which will render the
setting's description.
What does this change do?
1. Introduce `SiteSettings::Description` compoment to centralise the HTML
being rendered across all settings component.
2. Renders the `SiteSettings::Description` component after the edit
button in `site_setting.hbs`.
This commit adds new plugin show routes (`/admin/plugins/:plugin_id`) as we move
towards every plugin having a consistent UI/landing page.
As part of this, we are introducing a consistent way for plugins
to show an inner sidebar in their config page, via a new plugin
API `register_admin_config_nav_routes`
This accepts an array of links with a label/text, and an
ember route. Once this commit is merged we can start the process
of conforming other plugins to follow this pattern, as well
as supporting a single-page version of this for simpler plugins
that don't require an inner sidebar.

Avoid sending user emails if @ mentioning a staged user
Some cases, unknowingly mentioning a staged user would invite
them into topics, sending them an email about it.
Previously, if the sso= payload was invalid Base64, but signed correctly, there would be no useful log or error. This commit improves things by:
- moving the base64 check before the signature checking so that it's properly surfaced
- split the ParseError exception into PayloadParseError and SignatureError
- add user-facing errors for both of those
- add/improve spec for both
There are a couple of reasons for this.
The first one is practical, and related to eager loading. Since /lib is not eager loaded, when the application boots, ProblemCheck["identifier"] will be nil because the child classes aren't loaded.
The second one is more conceptual. There turns out to be a lot of inter-dependencies between the part of the problem check system that live in /app and the parts that live in /lib, which probably suggests it should all go in /app.
Why this change?
On the `/admin/customize/themes/<:id>` route, we allow admins to edit
all settings via a settings editor. Prior to this change, trying to edit
and save a typed objects theme settings will result in an error on the
server.
This change creates a user setting that they can toggle if
they don't want to receive unread notifications when someone closes a
topic they have read and are watching/tracking it.
* A11Y: Update bulk selection keyboard shortcuts
Still a draft, but in current state this:
- adds `shift+b` as a keyboard shortcut to toggle bulk select
- adds `shift+d` as a keyboard shortcut to dismiss selected topic(s) (this
replaces `x r` and `x t` shortcuts)
- adds `x` as a keyboard shortcut to toggle selection (while in bulk select mode)
- fixes a bug with the `shift+a` shortcut, which was not working properly
Note that there is a breaking change here. Previously we had:
- `x r` to dismiss new topics
- `x t` to dismiss unread topics
However, this meant that we couldn't use `x` for selection, because the
itsatrap library does not allow the same character to be used both as a
single character shortcut and as the start of a sequence. The proposed
solution here is more consistent with other apps (Gmail, Github) that use
`x` to toggle selection.
Also, we never show both "Dismiss New" and "Dismiss Unread" in the same
screen, hence it makes sense to consolidate both actions under `shift+d`.
* Address review
Why this change?
Before this change, the new navigation item in the topic list will be
hidden when there are no new or unread topics for the user. We have
started to find this behaviour confusing UX wise so we decided to stop
hiding it.
Why this change?
This is a regression from introduced in
5c1147adf3 where dismissing unread topics
was changing the notification level of the topics instead of just
dismissing the unread posts.
What does this change do?
1. Bring back the previous implementation of the action
2. Fix the system test that was supposed to catch the problem but did
not.
When "lazy load categories" is enabled, the CategoryDrop component will
render at most 15 categories. If there are more categories, a "Show
more" link pointing to the categories page will be displayed.
Why this change?
Assertions against the database in a system test is not reliable because
the request sent from the client side may not have been processed when
the query to the database has been run.
The test was added to prevent a regression for 63119144ff
but it turns out that the test will still prevent the regression even if
we do not assert against the state in the database.
The build is broken due to some changes not being staged when I pushed the previous PR. The assertions that check that a job has been scheduled needs to be updated to reflect the new name.
Doing the following renames:
Jobs::ProblemChecks → Jobs::RunProblemChecks
Jobs::ProblemCheck → Jobs::RunProblemCheck
This is to disambiguate the ProblemCheck class name, ease fuzzy finding, and avoid needing to use :: in a bunch of places.
Before, the `back to forum` link was part of experimental admin navigation. It means that the link could be filtered out.
Because it is essential navigation, it should not be part of sidebar links and should be moved above the filter.
Why this change?
There are two problematic queries in question here when loading
notifications in various tabs in the user menu:
```
SELECT "notifications".*
FROM "notifications"
LEFT JOIN topics ON notifications.topic_id = topics.id
WHERE "notifications"."user_id" = 1338 AND (topics.id IS NULL OR topics.deleted_at IS NULL)
ORDER BY notifications.high_priority AND NOT notifications.read DESC,
NOT notifications.read AND notifications.notification_type NOT IN (5,19,25) DESC,
notifications.created_at DESC
LIMIT 30;
```
and
```
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT "notifications".*
FROM "notifications"
LEFT JOIN topics ON notifications.topic_id = topics.id
WHERE "notifications"."user_id" = 1338
AND (topics.id IS NULL OR topics.deleted_at IS NULL)
AND "notifications"."notification_type" IN (5, 19, 25)
ORDER BY notifications.high_priority AND NOT notifications.read DESC, NOT notifications.read DESC, notifications.created_at DESC LIMIT 30;
```
For a particular user, the queries takes about 40ms and 26ms
respectively on one of our production instance where the user has 10K notifications while the site has 600K notifications in total.
What does this change do?
1. Adds the `index_notifications_user_menu_ordering` index to the `notifications` table which is
indexed on `(user_id, (high_priority AND NOT read) DESC, (NOT read)
DESC, created_at DESC)`.
1. Adds a second index `index_notifications_user_menu_ordering_deprioritized_likes` to the `notifications`
table which is indexed on `(user_id, (high_priority AND NOT read) DESC, (NOT read AND notification_type NOT IN (5,19,25)) DESC, created_at DESC)`. Note that we have to hardcode the like typed notifications type here as it is being used in an ordering clause.
With the two indexes above, both queries complete in roughly 0.2ms. While I acknowledge that there will be some overhead in insert,update or delete operations. I believe this trade-off is worth it since viewing notifications in the user menu is something that is at the core of using a Discourse forum so we should optimise this experience as much as possible.
Why this change?
The `/admin/customize/themes/:id/schema/name` route is a work in
progress but we want to be able to start navigating to it from the
`/admin/customize/themes/:id` route.
What does this change do?
1. Move `adminCustomizeThemes.schema` to a child route of
`adminCustomizeThemes.show`. This is because we need the model
from the parent route and if it isn't a child route we end up
having to load the theme model again from the server.
1. Add the `objects_schema` attribute to `ThemeSettingsSerializer`
1. Refactor `SiteSettingComponent` to be able to render a button
so that we don't have to hardcode the button rendering into the
`SiteSettings::String` component
Why this change?
Prior this change, we were using `URI.regexp` which was too strict as it
doesn't allow a URL path.
What does this change do?
Just parse the string using `URI.parse` and if it doesn't raise an error
we consider the string to be a valid URL
When a post is created by an incoming email, we show
an envelope icon on it which then opens a modal with the
raw email contents. Previously this was staff (admin+mod)
only, but now this commit adds the `view_raw_email_allowed_groups`
site setting, so any group can be added to give users permission
to see this.
Currently, the trust level method is calculating trust level based on maximum value from:
- locked trust level
- group automatic trust level
- previously granted trust level by admin
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/trust_level.rb#L33
Let's say the user belongs to groups with automatic trust level 1 and in the meantime meets all criteria to get trust level 2.
Each time, a user is removed from a group with automatic trust_level 1, they will be downgraded to trust_level 1 and promoted to trust_level 2
120a2f70a9/lib/promotion.rb (L142)
This will cause duplicated promotion messages.
Therefore, we have to check if the user meets the criteria, before downgrading.
## What?
Depending on the email software used, when you reply to an email that has some attachments, they will be sent along, since they're part of the embedded (replied to) email.
When Discourse processes the reply as an incoming email, it will automatically add all the (valid) attachments at the end of the post. Including those that were sent as part of the "embedded reply".
This generates posts in Discourse with duplicate attachments 🙁
## How?
When processing attachments of an incoming email, before we add it to the bottom of the post, we check it against all the previous uploads in the same topic. If there already is an `Upload` record, it means that it's a duplicate and it is _therefore_ skipped.
All the inline attachments are left untouched since they're more likely new attachments added by the sender.
