When parent category or grandparent category is muted, then category should be muted as well.
Still, it can be overridden by setting individual subcategory notification level.
CategoryUser record is not created, mute for subcategories is purely virtual.
This is a recent regression introduced by https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12937 which makes it so that when looking at a user profile that is not your own, specifically the category and tag notification settings, you would see your own settings instead of the target user. This is only a problem for admins because regular users cannot see these details for other users.
The issue was that we were using `scope` in the serializer, which refers to the current user, rather than using a scope for the target user via `Guardian.new(user)`.
However, on further inspection the `notification_levels_for` method for `TagUser` and `CategoryUser` did not actually need to be accepting an instance of Guardian, all that it was using it for was to check guardian.anonymous? which is just a fancy way of saying user.blank?. Changed this method to just accept a user instead and send the user in from the serializer.
The user may have changed their category or tag tracking settings since a topic was tracked/watched based on those settings in the past. In that case we need to alter the reason message we show them otherwise it is very confusing for the end user to be told they are tracking a topic because of a category, when they are no longer tracking that category.
For example: "You will see a count of new replies because you are tracking this category." becomes: "You will see a count of new replies because you were tracking this category in the past."
To do this, it was necessary to add tag and category tracking info to current user serializer. I improved the serializer code so it only does 3 SQL queries instead of 9 to get the tracking information for tags and categories for the current user.
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.
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.
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
followup to #bc03c509
There were 2 problems
1. VALUES was not properly getting multiple results ... we need (1),(2),(3)
not (1,2,3)
2. changes was mistakenly lazy evaluated eg `changed ||=` which meant some
queries were not running
* Remove unused method
* Prefabricate user in category_user_spec.rb
* FIX: Remove notification_level from category_users unique indexes
* FIX: CategoryUser#batch_set wasn't updating pre-existing records
* Improve tests for CategoryUser#batch_set
* FIX: changed was being reported incorrectly
* DEV: Rewrote query to do a bulk insert
* DEV: remove unnecessary parentheses
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder
See more at: https://github.com/discourse/mini_sql
- present tags watched on the user prefs page
- automatically watch or unwatch old topics based on watch status
New watching and tracking logic takes care of handling old topics
(either with or without read state)
When you watch a topic you now watch historically
Also removes confusing warnings from user.
