This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
- add User.staff scope
- inject MessageBus into Ember views (so it can be used by the poll plugin)
- REFACTOR: use more accurate is_first_post? method instead of post_number == 1
- FEATURE: add support for JSON-typed custom fields
- FEATURE: allow plugins to add validation
- FEATURE: add post_custom_fields to PostSerializer
- FEATURE: allow plugins to whitelist post_custom_fields
- FIX: don't bump when post did not save successfully
- FEATURE: polls are supported in any post
- FEATURE: allow for multiple polls in the same post
- FEATURE: multiple choice polls
- FEATURE: rating polls
- FEATURE: new dialect allowing users to preview polls in the composer
- Moves the import of plugins for both mobile and desktop from common after discourse loading, allowing plugins to overwrite
- Make desktop-option behave like the mobile-option: SCSS/CSS marked with that option will only be loaded for desktop from now on and ignored in mobile
- Add variables-keyword, allowing plugins to ship and overwrite variables before they get imported by discourse (great for theming)
