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
Revamped system for managing authentication tokens.
- Every user has 1 token per client (web browser)
- Tokens are rotated every 10 minutes
New system migrates the old tokens to "legacy" tokens,
so users still remain logged on.
Also introduces weekly job to expire old auth tokens.
Rails yanked out observers many many years ago, instead the functionality
was yanked out to a gem that is very lightly maintained.
For example: if we want to upgrade to rails 5 there is no published gem
Internally the usage of observers had quite a few problem.
The series of refactors renamed a bunch of classes to give us more clarity
and removed some magic.
previously we supported blanket read and write for user API, this
change amends it so we can define more limited scopes. A scope only
covers a few routes. You can not grant access to part of the site and
leave a large amount of the information hidden to API consumer.
- 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.
We no longer include previous replies as "context", instead
we include and excerpt of the post being replied to at the bottom
of notifications, this information was previously missing.
Users may opt in to emailing previous replies if they wish
or opt out of "in-reply-to" which makes sense in some email clients that
are smarter about displaying a tree of replies.
As it stands we load up user records quite frequently on the topic pages,
this in turn pulls all the columns for the users being selected, just to
discard them after they are loaded
New structure keeps all options in a discrete table, this is better organised
and allows us to easily add more column without worrying about bloating the
user table
Since rspec-rails 3, the default installation creates two helper files:
* `spec_helper.rb`
* `rails_helper.rb`
`spec_helper.rb` is intended as a way of running specs that do not
require Rails, whereas `rails_helper.rb` loads Rails (as Discourse's
current `spec_helper.rb` does).
For more information:
https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-rails/docs/upgrade#default-helper-files
In this commit, I've simply replaced all instances of `spec_helper` with
`rails_helper`, and renamed the original `spec_helper.rb`.
This brings the Discourse project closer to the standard usage of RSpec
in a Rails app.
At present, every spec relies on loading Rails, but there are likely
many that don't need to. In a future pull request, I hope to introduce a
separate, minimal `spec_helper.rb` which can be used in tests which
don't rely on Rails.
If you allow a group to be mentioned it can be mentioned with the @ symbol.
Keep in mind as a safety mechanism max_users_notified_per_group_mention is set to 100
This relaxes our very strict username rules to allow for some long asked for requests
- leading _ is now allowed
- . is allowed except for trailing char and confusing extensions like .gif .json
- dash (-) is now permitted
FIX: history revision can now properly be hidden
FIX: PostRevision serializer is now entirely dynamic to properly handle
hidden revisions
FIX: default history modal to "side by side" view on mobile
FIX: properly hiden which revision has been hidden
UX: inline category/user/wiki/post_type changes with the revision
details
FEATURE: new '/posts/:post_id/revisions/latest' endpoint to retrieve
latest revision
UX: do not show the hide/show revision button on mobile (no room for
them)
UX: remove CSS transitions on the buttons in the history modal
FIX: PostRevisor now handles all the changes that might create new
revisions
FIX: PostRevision.ensure_consistency! was wrong due to off by 1
mistake...
refactored topic's callbacks for better readability
extracted 'PostRevisionGuardian'
Changed internals so trust levels are referred to with
TrustLevel[1], TrustLevel[2] etc.
This gives us much better flexibility naming trust levels, these names
are meant to be controlled by various communities.
All flags should end up in one of the three dispositions
- Agree
- Disagree
- Defer
In the administration area, the *active* flags section displays 4 buttons
- Agree (hide post + send PM)
- Disagree
- Defer
- Delete
Clicking "Delete" will open a modal that offer to
- Delete Post & Defer Flags
- Delete Post & Agree with Flags
- Delete Spammer (if available)
When the flag has a list associated, the list will now display 1
response and 1 reply and a "show more..." link if there are more in the
conversation. Replying to the conversation will NOT give a disposition.
Moderators must click the buttons that does that.
If someone clicks one buttons, this will add a default moderator message
from that moderator saying what happened.
The *old* flags section now displays the proper dispositions and is
super duper fast (no more N+9999 queries).
FIX: the old list includes deleted topics
FIX: the lists now properly display the topic states (deleted, closed,
archived, hidden, PM)
FIX: flagging a topic that you've already flagged the first post
Introduced badge triggers, introduced concept of badge that happens due to a post but has the post hidden
Delta badge grant happens once a minute, backed by redis
