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.
Plugins can add it via API if they need to use `eval`:
```
extend_content_security_policy(script_src: [:unsafe_eval])
```
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/104243
Note: All of this functionality is hidden behind a hidden, default false, site setting called `enable_bookmarks_with_reminders`. Also, any feedback on Ember code would be greatly appreciated!
This is part 1 of the bookmark improvements. The next PR will address the backend logic to send reminder notifications for bookmarked posts to users. This PR adds the following functionality:
* We are adding a new `bookmarks` table and `Bookmark` model to make the bookmarks a first-class citizen and to allow attaching reminders to them.
* Posts now have a new button in their actions menu that has the icon of an actual book
* Clicking the button opens the new bookmark modal.
* Both name and the reminder type are optional.
* If you close the modal without doing anything, the bookmark is saved with no reminder.
* If you click the Cancel button, no bookmark is saved at all.
* All of the reminder type tiles are dynamic and the times they show will be based on your user timezone set in your profile (this should already be set for you).
* If for some reason a user does not have their timezone set they will not be able to set a reminder, but they will still be able to create a bookmark.
* A bookmark can be deleted by clicking on the book icon again which will be red if the post is bookmarked.
This PR does NOT do anything to migrate or change existing bookmarks in the form of `PostActions`, the two features live side-by-side here. Also this does nothing to the topic bookmarking.
This PR introduces a new secure media setting. When enabled, it prevent unathorized access to media uploads (files of type image, video and audio). When the `login_required` setting is enabled, then all media uploads will be protected from unauthorized (anonymous) access. When `login_required`is disabled, only media in private messages will be protected from unauthorized access.
A few notes:
- the `prevent_anons_from_downloading_files` setting no longer applies to audio and video uploads
- the `secure_media` setting can only be enabled if S3 uploads are already enabled and configured
- upload records have a new column, `secure`, which is a boolean `true/false` of the upload's secure status
- when creating a public post with an upload that has already been uploaded and is marked as secure, the post creator will raise an error
- when enabling or disabling the setting on a site with existing uploads, the rake task `uploads:ensure_correct_acl` should be used to update all uploads' secure status and their ACL on S3
Instead of enabling `suppress_from_latest` setting on many categories now we can enable `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting. Then users should opt-in to categories for them to appear in the latest and categories pages.
- Allow revoking keys without deleting them
- Auto-revoke keys after a period of no use (default 6 months)
- Allow multiple keys per user
- Allow attaching a description to each key, for easier auditing
- Log changes to keys in the staff action log
- Move all key management to one place, and improve the UI
Adds the settings:
raw_email_max_length, raw_rejected_email_max_length, delete_rejected_email_after_days.
These settings control retention of the "raw" emails logs.
raw_email_max_length ensures that if we get incoming email that is huge we will truncate it removing uploads from the raw log.
raw_rejected_email_max_length introduces an even more aggressive truncation for rejected incoming mail.
delete_rejected_email_after_days controls how many days we will keep rejected emails for (default 90)
* FEATURE: Site setting/ui to allow users to set their primary group
* prettier and remove logic from account template
* added 1 to 43 to make web_hook_user_serializer_spec pass
Under exceptional situations the automatic draft feature can fail.
This new **hidden, default off** site setting
`backup_drafts_to_pm_length` will automatically backup any draft that is
saved by the system to a dedicated PM (originating from self)
The body of that PM will contain the text of the reply.
We can enable this feature strategically on sites exhibiting issues to
diagnose issues with the draft system and offer a recourse to users who
appear to lose drafts. We automatically checkpoint these drafts every 5
minutes forcing a new revision each 5 minutes so you can revert to old
content.
Longer term we are considering automatically enabling this kind of feature
for extremely long drafts where the risk is really high one could lose
days of writing.
* FIX: Do not encode the URL twice
Now that we encode slugs in the server we don't need this anymore.
Reverts fe5na33
* FIX: More places do deal with encoded slugs
* the param is a string now, not a hash
* FIX: Handle the nil slug on /categories
* DEV: Add seeded? method to identity default categories
* DEV: Use SiteSetting to keep track of seeded categories
If the setting is turned on, then the user will receive information
about the subject: if it was deleted or requires some special access to
a group (only if the group is public). Otherwise, the user will receive
a generic #404 error message. For now, this change affects only the
topics and categories controller.
This commit also tries to refactor some of the code related to error
handling. To make error pages more consistent (design-wise), the actual
error page will be rendered server-side.
* FEATURE: Adds an extra protection layer when decompressing files.
* Rename exporter/importer to zip importer. Update old locale
* Added a new composite class to decompress a file with multiple strategies
* Set max file size inside a site setting
* Ensure that file is deleted after compression
* Sanitize path and files before compressing/decompressing
New site setting: `embed_any_origin` that will send postMessages to
wildcard origins `*` instead of the referer.
Most of the time you won't want to do this, so the setting is default to
`false`. However, there are certain situations where you want to allow
embedding to send post messages when there is no HTTP REFERER.
For example, if you created a native mobile app and you wanted to embed a list
of Discourse topics as HTML. In the code your HTML would be a
static file/string, which would not be able to send a referer. In this
case, the site setting will allow the embed to work.
From a security standpoint we currently only use `postMessage` to send
data about the size of the HTML document and scroll position, so it
should be enable if required with minimal security ramifications.
* FEATURE: Add tl2 threshold for editing new posts
* Adds a new setting and for tl2 editing posts (30 days same as old value)
* Sets the tl0/tl1 editing period as 1 day
* FIX: Spec uses wrong setting
* Fix site setting on guardian spec
* FIX: post editing period specs
* Avoid shared examples
* Use update_columns to avoid callbacks on user during tests
- Adds support for iOS Universal Links via an `apple-app-site-association` endpoint
Adds support for Google Digital Asset Links at the `.well-known/assetlinks.json` endpoint
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989) [Undo revert] (#8024)""
This reverts commit 36425eb9f0.
* Fix: Show who read only if the attribute is enabled
* PERF: Precalculate the last post readed by a group member
* Use book-reader icon instear of far-eye
* FIX: update topic groups correctly
* DEV: Tidy up read indicator update on write
* Reenable: "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989)"
This reverts commit 67f5cc1ce8.
* FIX: Read indicator only appears when the group setting is enabled
* Enable or disable read state based on group attribute
* When read state needs to be published, the minimum unread count is calculated in the topic query. This way, we can know if someone reads the last post
* The option can be enabled/disabled from the UI
* The read indicator will live-updated using message bus
* Show read indicator on every post
* The read indicator now shows read count and can be expanded to see user avatars
* Read count gets updated everytime someone reads a message
* Simplify topic-list read indicator logic
* Unsubscribe from message bus on willDestroyElement, removed unnecesarry values from post-menu, and added a comment to explain where does minimum_unread_count comes from
This adds support for a `<d-topics-list>` tag you can embed in your site
that will be rendered as a list of discourse topics. Any attributes on
the tag will be passed as filters. For example:
`<d-topics-list discourse-url="URL" category="1234">` will filter to category 1234.
To use this feature, enable the `embed topics list` site setting. Then
on the site you want to embed, include the following javascript:
`<script
src="http://URL/javascripts/embed-topics.js"></script>`
Where `URL` is your discourse forum's URL.
Then include the `<d-topics-list discourse-url="URL">` tag in your HTML document and it will
be replaced with the list of topics.
This feature (when enabled) will allow for invite_only sites to require
external authentication before they can redeem an invite.
- Created hidden site setting to toggle this
- Enables sending invites with local logins disabled
- OAuth button added to invite form
- Requires OAuth email address to match invite email address
- Prevents redeeming invite if OAuth authentication fails
Enable the new setting "post excerpts in emails" to send excerpts
instead of complete posts in notification emails. Control the length of
excerpts with the "post excerpt maxlength" setting.
* REFACTOR: Rename SiteSetting.disable_edit_notifications to disable_system_edit_notifications
- The older name could cause some confusion because the setting does not disable all edit notifications, only system ones.
* FIX: Add frozen_string_literal: true in the migration
* DEV: Deprecate 'disable_edit_notifications'
This feature adds the ability to customize the HTML part of all emails using a custom HTML template and optionally some CSS to style it. The CSS will be parsed and converted into inline styles because CSS is poorly supported by email clients. When writing the custom HTML and CSS, be aware of what email clients support. Keep customizations very simple.
Customizations can be added and edited in Admin > Customize > Email Style.
Since the summary email is already heavily styled, there is a setting to disable custom styles for summary emails called "apply custom styles to digest" found in Admin > Settings > Email.
As part of this work, RTL locales are now rendered correctly for all emails.
This is useful when a backup is restored on a staging site or in a development environment. It also deletes all existing push subscriptions because they get invalid when the keys change.
This feature is off by default and can can be configured with the `email_total_attachment_size_limit_kb` site setting.

* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: admin/user exports are compressed using the zip format (#7784)""
This reverts commit f89bd55576.
* Replace .tar.zip with .zip
Enabling this setting prevents notifications when the system downloads hotlinked images. This stops an onslaught of notifications when old posts are rebaked. It does not affect regular edit notifications
* FEATURE: Allow customization of robots.txt
This allows admins to customize/override the content of the robots.txt
file at /admin/customize/robots. That page is not linked to anywhere in
the UI -- admins have to manually type the URL to access that page.
* use Ember.computed.not
* Jeff feedback
* Feedback
* Remove unused import
* FEATURE: admin/user exports are compressed using the zip format
* Update translations. Theme exporter now exports .zip file. Theme importer supports .zip and .gz files
* Fix controller test, updated locale and skip saving the csv export to disk
The site settings beginning with "topic views heat" and "topic post like
heat" are set to defaults when installing Discourse, but there has not
been a process or guidance for updating these values based on
community activity.
This feature will update them once a month. The low, medium, and
high settings will be based on the minimums of the 45th, 25th, and
10th percentile topics respectively, so that 45% of topics will have
some "heat".
Disable automatic changes with the automatic_topic_heat_values setting.
This feature allows end users to "defer" topics by marking them unread
The functionality is default disabled. This also introduces the new site
setting default_other_enable_defer: to enable this by default on new user
accounts.
This new `DISCOURSE_MAXMIND_BACKUP_PATH` can be used a secondary location
for maxmind db. That way a build machine, for example can cache it on the
host and reuse between builds.
Also per 5bfeef77 added proper error raising for download fails from
dedicated rake task
This also moves "refresh_maxmind_db_during_precompile_days" to a global
setting, it did not make sense in a site setting
Previously enable s3 uploads and s3 upload bucket were not shadowed.
This caused confusion when people were configuring stuff via env cause most
of s3 settings are shadowed.
This is a feature that used to be present in discourse-assign but is
much easier to implement in core. It also allows a topic to be assigned
without it claiming for review and vice versa and allows it to work with
category group reviewers.
We found score hard to understand. It is still there behind the scenes
for sorting purposes, but it is no longer shown.
You can now filter by minimum priority (low, med, high) instead of
score.
This change shows a notification number besides the flag icon in the
post menu if there is reviewable content associated with the post.
Additionally, if there is pending stuff to review, the icon has a red
background.
We have also removed the list of links below a post with the flag
status. A reviewer is meant to click the number beside the flag icon to
view the flags. As a consequence of losing those links, we've removed
the ability to undo or ignore flags below a post.
This change automatically resizes icons for various purposes. Admins can now upload `logo` and `logo_small`, and everything else will be auto-generated. Specific icons can still be uploaded separately if required.
## Core
- Adds an SiteIconManager module which manages automatic resizing and fallback
- Icons are looked up in the OptimizedImage table at runtime, and then cached in Redis. If the resized version is missing for some reason, then most icons will fall back to the original files. Some icons (e.g. PWA Manifest) will return `nil` (because an incorrectly sized icon is worse than a missing icon).
- `SiteSetting.site_large_icon_url` will return the optimized version, including any fallback. `SiteSetting.large_icon` continues to return the upload object. This means that (almost) no changes are required in core/plugins to support this new system.
- Icons are resized whenever a relevant site setting is changed, and during post-deploy migrations
## Wizard
- Allows `requiresRefresh` wizard steps to reload data via AJAX instead of a full page reload
- Add placeholders to the **icons** step of the wizard, which automatically update from the "Square Logo"
- Various copy updates to support the changes
- Remove the "upload-time" resizing for `large_icon`. This is no longer required.
## Site Settings UX
- Move logo/icon settings under a new "Branding" tab
- Various copy changes to support the changes
- Adds placeholder support to the `image-uploader` component
- Automatically reloads site settings after saving. This allows setting placeholders to change based on changes to other settings
- Upload site settings will be assigned a placeholder if SiteIconManager `responds_to?` an icon of the same name
## Dashboard Warnings
- Remove PWA icon and PWA title warnings. Both are now handled automatically.
## Bonus
- Updated the sketch logos to use @awesomerobot's new high-res designs
Note... this setting is quite new so I am not adding a migration here to
clean up history. Instead next time users save the setting it will complain.
Also explicitly call out that the value 0 is special and used to disable
the job.
