* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
We were changing the user's user_option.bookmark_auto_delete_preference
to whatever they changed it to in the bookmark modal to use as default
for future bookmarks. However this was leading to a lot of confusion
since if you wanted to set it for one bookmark you had to remember to
change it back on the next one.
This commit removes that automatic functionality, and instead moves
the bookmark auto delete preference to User Preferences > Interface
in an explicit dropdown.
This commit adds a new notification that gets sent to admins when the site gets new features after an upgrade/deploy. Clicking on the notification takes the admin to the admin dashboard at `/admin` where they can see the new features under the "New Features" section.

FEATURE: Chat and Sidebar are now on by default
- Set the sidebar site setting to be enabled by default
- Set the chat site setting to be enabled by default
- Updated existing specs that assumed the original default
- Use a migration to keep old defaults for existing sites
When user is watching category or tag (watching or watching first post) notifications are moved to other tab.
To achieve that and distinguish between post create to directly watched topics and indirectly watched topics, new notification type called `watching_category_or_tag` was introduced.
* FEATURE: Show similar users when penalizing a user
Moderators will be notified if other users with the same IP address
exist before penalizing a user.
* FEATURE: Allow staff to penalize multiple users
This allows staff members to suspend or silence multiple users belonging
to the same person.
This new site setting replaces the
`enable_experimental_sidebar_hamburger` and `enable_sidebar` site
settings as the sidebar feature exits the experimental phase.
Note that we're replacing this without depreciation since the previous
site setting was considered experimental.

The default behavior for Rails is to vary the response of an endpoint based on the `Accept:` header, and therefore it returns a `Vary:` header on responses. This instructs browsers and intermediate proxies to key their caches based on the value of the request's `Accept` header. In some cases (e.g. Akamai), the presence of a `Vary` header is enough to prevent caching entirely.
This commit restructures the Rails route definitions so that:
1. The "format" segment of the route is 'required'
2. The "format" segment of the route is constrained to a single value (e.g. `js` or `css`)
Now that the routes are guaranteed to have a `:format` segment, Rails will always prioritize that over the `Accept` header, and will therefore omit the `Vary` header.
Request specs are also added to test this behaviour for both stylesheets and theme-javascripts.
Note that we don't have a database table and a model for post mentions yet, and I decided to implement it without adding one to avoid heavy data migrations. Still, we may want to add such a model later, that would be convenient, we have such a model for mentions in chat.
Note that status appears on all mentions on all posts in a topic except of the case when you just posted a new post, and it appeared on the bottom of the topic. On such posts, status won't be shown immediately for now (you'll need to reload the page to see the status). I'll take care of it in one of the following PRs.
* FEATURE: Show warning if group cannot be mentioned
A similar warning is displayed when the user cannot be mentioned because
they have not been invited to the topic.
* FEATURE: Resolve mentions for new topic
This commit improves several improvements and refactors
/u/is_local_username route to a better /composer/mentions route that
can handle new topics too.
* FEATURE: Show warning if only some are notified
Sometimes users are still notified even if the group that was mentioned
was not invited to the message. This happens because its members were
invited directly or are members of other groups that were invited.
* DEV: Refactor _warnCannotSeeMention
When uploads are stored on S3, by default Discourse will fetch the avatars and proxy them through to the requesting client. This is simple, but it can lead to significant inbound/outbound network load in the hosting environment.
This commit adds an optional redirect_avatar_requests GlobalSetting. When enabled, requests for user avatars will be redirected to the S3 asset instead of being proxied. This adds an extra round-trip for clients, but it should significantly reduce server load. To mitigate that extra round-trip for clients, a CDN with 'follow redirect' capability could be used.
Users who can access the review queue can claim a pending reviewable(s) which means that the claimed reviewable(s) can only be handled by the user who claimed it. Currently, we show claimed reviewables in the user menu, but this can be annoying for other reviewers because they can't do anything about a reviewable claimed by someone. So this PR makes sure that we only show in the user menu reviewables that are claimed by nobody or claimed by the current user.

In this previous commit I introduced a bug that prevented
a legitimate case for an existing user to redeem an invite,
where the email/domain were both blank and the invite was
still redeemable by the user. Fixes the issue and adds more
specs for that case.
I'm hesitant to call this a performance improvement since claiming a
reviewable is probably rare. However, this commit cuts out two DB
queries each time we have to publish a reviewable claimed message. More
importantly, publishing to groups scales much better than publishing to
users because we esstentially cap the number ids we have to load into
memory.
This adds API scope for the user status. This also adds a get method to the user status controller. We didn't need a dedicated method that returns status before because the server returns status with user objects, but I think we need to provide this method for API clients.
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.

**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
* FEATURE: API to update user's discourse connect external id
This adds a special handling of updates to DiscourseConnect external_id
in the general user update API endpoint.
Admins can create, update or delete a user SingleSignOn record using
PUT /u/:username.json
{
"external_ids": {
"discourse_connect": "new-external-id"
}
}
When opening the invite acceptance page when the user
was already logged in, we were still showing the Accept
Invitation prompt even if the user had already redeemed
the invitation and was present in the `InvitedUser` table.
This would lead to errors when the user clicked on the button.
This commit fixes the issue by hiding the Accept Invitation
button and showing an error message instead indicating that
the user had already redeemed the invitation. This only applies
to multi-use invite links.
The problem was reported as a problem with changing theme in user preferences, after saving a new theme the previously set user status was disappearing (https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-status/240335/42). Turned out though that the problem was more wide, changing pretty much any setting in user preferences apart from user status itself led to clearing the status.
This commit adds some protections in InviteRedeemer to ensure that email
can never be nil, which could cause issues with inviting the invited
person to private topics since there was an incorrect inner join.
If the email is nil and the invite is scoped to an email, we just use
that invite.email unconditionally. If a redeeming_user (an existing
user) is passed in when redeeming an email, we use their email to
override the passed in email. Otherwise we just use the passed in
email. We now raise an error after all this if the email is still nil.
This commit also adds some tests to catch the private topic fix, and
some general improvements and comments around the invite code.
This commit also includes a migration to delete TopicAllowedUser records
for users who were mistakenly added to topics as part of the invite
redemption process.
Currently, moderators are able to set primary group for users
irrespective of the of the `moderators_manage_categories_and_groups` site
setting value.
This change updates Guardian implementation to honour it.
Depends on: #18806
We have a banner that prompts to edit the welcome topic, so let's not
show it in the topic list until it has been edited. Previously this
banner covered the welcome topic, now the banner will be above the topic
list, so we need to hide the welcome topic.
* DEV: Add a dedicated Admin::StaffController base controller
The current parent(Admin:AdminController) for all admin-related controllers
uses a filter that allows only staff(admin, moderator) users.
This refactor makes Admin::AdminController filter for only admins as the name suggests and
introduces a base controller dedicated for staff-related endpoints.
* DEV: Set staff-only controllers parent to Admin::StaffController
Refactor staff-only controllers to inherit newly introduced
Admin::StaffController abstract controller. This conveys the
purpose of the parent controller better unlike the previously used parent
controller.
* FIX: Follow up fixes for password-reset error page
Pass in `base_url` to the template
Use `.html_safe` since the message now contains html
Follow up to: 9b1536fb83
* Update specs to pass in the base_url
Before this commit, we did not have guardian checks in place to determine if a
topic's title associated with a user badge should be displayed or not.
This means that the topic title of topics with restricted access
could be leaked to anon and users without access if certain conditions
are met. While we will not specify the conditions required, we have internally
assessed that the odds of meeting such conditions are low.
With this commit, we will now apply a guardian check to ensure that the
current user is able to see a topic before the topic's title is included
in the serialized object of a `UserBadge`.
The previous sidebar default tags and categories implementation did not
allow for a user to configure their sidebar to have no categories or
tags. This commit changes how the defaults are applied. When a user is being created,
we create the SidebarSectionLink records based on the `default_sidebar_categories` and
`default_sidebar_tags` site settings. SidebarSectionLink records are
only created for categories and tags which the user has visibility on at
the point of user creation.
With this change, we're also adding the ability for admins to apply
changes to the `default_sidebar_categories` and `default_sidebar_tags`
site settings historically when changing their site setting. When a new
category/tag has been added to the default, the new category/tag will be
added to the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the changes historically.
Like wise when a tag/category is removed, the tag/category will be
removed from the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the
changes historically.

The `active` param on the create user endpoint requires that an api key
is used in the request header otherwise it is ignored, so adding this
distinction to the api docs.
