* FEATURE: use canonical links in posts.rss feed
Previously we used non canonical links in posts.rss
These links get crawled frequently by crawlers when discovering new
content forcing crawlers to hop to non canonical pages just to end up
visiting canonical pages
This uses up expensive crawl time and adds load on Discourse sites
Old links were of the form:
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43/21`
New links are of the form
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43?page=2#post_21`
This also adds a post_id identified element to crawler view that was
missing.
Note, to avoid very expensive N+1 queries required to figure out the
page a post is on during rss generation, we cache that information.
There is a smart "cache breaker" which ensures worst case scenario is
a "page drift" - meaning we would publicize a post is on page 11 when
it is actually on page 10 due to post deletions. Cache holds for up to
12 hours.
Change only impacts public post RSS feeds (`/posts.rss`)
This makes a small improvement to 'cold cache' ember-cli build times, and a large improvement to 'warm cache' build times
The ember-auto-import update means that vendor is now split into multiple files for efficiency. These are named `chunk.*`, and should be included immediately after the `vendor.js` file. This commit also updates the rails app to render script tags for these chunks.
This change was previously merged, and caused memory-related errors on RAM-constrained machines. This was because Webpack 5 switches from multiple worker processes to a single multi-threaded process. This meant that it was hitting node's default heap size limit (~500mb on a 1GB RAM server). Discourse's standard install procedure recommends adding 2GB swap to 1GB-RAM machines, so we can afford to override's Node's default via the `--max-old-space-size` flag.
This reverts commit f4c6a61855 and a8325c9016
This update of ember-auto-import and webpack causes significantly higher memory use during rebuilds. This made ember-cli totally unusable on 1GB RAM / 2GB swap environments. We don't have a specific need for this upgrade right now, so reverting for now.

This reverts commit 2c7906999a.
The changes break some things in local development (putting JS files
into minified files, not allowing debugger, and others)
This reverts commit ea84a82f77.
This is causing problems with `/theme-qunit` on legacy, non-ember-cli production sites. Reverting while we work on a fix
This is quite complex as it means that in production we have to build
Ember CLI test files and allow them to be used by our Rails application.
There is a fair bit of glue we can remove in the future once we move to
Ember CLI completely.
A plugin API that allows customizing existing topic-backed static pages, like:
faq, tos, privacy (see: StaticController) The block passed to this
method has to return a SiteSetting name that contains a topic id.
```
add_topic_static_page("faq") do |controller|
current_user&.locale == "pl" ? "polish_faq_topic_id" : "faq_topic_id"
end
```
You can also add new pages in a plugin, but remember to add a route,
for example:
```
get "contact" => "static#show", id: "contact"
```
Under some conditions, these varied responses could lead to cache poisoning, hence the 'security' label.
Previously the Rails application would serve JSON data in place of HTML whenever Ember CLI requested an `application.html.erb`-rendered page. This commit removes that logic, and instead parses the HTML out of the standard response. This means that Rails doesn't need to customize its response for Ember CLI.
We have a couple of site setting, `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` and `slow_down_crawler_rate`, that are meant to allow site owners to signal to specific crawlers that they're crawling the site too aggressively and that they should slow down.
When a crawler is added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting, Discourse currently adds a `Crawl-delay` directive for that crawler in `/robots.txt`. Unfortunately, many crawlers don't support the `Crawl-delay` directive in `/robots.txt` which leaves the site owners no options if a crawler is crawling the site too aggressively.
This PR replaces the `Crawl-delay` directive with proper rate limiting for crawlers added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list. On every request made by a non-logged in user, Discourse will check the User Agent string and if it contains one of the values of the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list, Discourse will only allow 1 request every N seconds for that User Agent (N is the value of the `slow_down_crawler_rate` setting) and the rest of requests made within the same interval will get a 429 response.
The `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting becomes quite dangerous with this PR since it could rate limit lots if not all of anonymous traffic if the setting is not used appropriately. So to protect against this scenario, we've added a couple of new validations to the setting when it's changed:
1) each value added to setting must 3 characters or longer
2) each value cannot be a substring of tokens found in popular browser User Agent. The current list of prohibited values is: apple, windows, linux, ubuntu, gecko, firefox, chrome, safari, applewebkit, webkit, mozilla, macintosh, khtml, intel, osx, os x, iphone, ipad and mac.
This commit adds token_hash and scopes columns to email_tokens table.
token_hash is a replacement for the token column to avoid storing email
tokens in plaintext as it can pose a security risk. The new scope column
ensures that email tokens cannot be used to perform a different action
than the one intended.
To sum up, this commit:
* Adds token_hash and scope to email_tokens
* Reuses code that schedules critical_user_email
* Refactors EmailToken.confirm and EmailToken.atomic_confirm methods
* Periodically cleans old, unconfirmed or expired email tokens
We have two JS assets which are included in the `<body>` of responses. We were including the `<link rel='preload'` hint alongside the script tag in the body. Instead, we can move the preload hint to the `<head>` so that the browser discovers it earlier, and can start preloading the assets while the body is loading.
Trying to use a local test hostname other than localhost
(e.g. discourse.test )for discourse development was difficult due
the fact that localhost was hardcoded in a few places. This patch
uses existing environment variables to allow a developer to use a
different domain when developing.

* FIX: do not display add to calendar for past dates
There is no value in saving past dates into calendar
* FIX: remove postId and move ICS to frontend
PostId is not necessary and will make the solution more generic for dates which doesn't belong to a specific post.
Also, ICS file can be generated in JavaScript to avoid calling backend.
In most cases, these links are handled in JavaScript, so the `href` and `target` are not used. However, when the `link-to-post` refers to a post which is not currently loaded in the DOM (e.g. it is the OP), then the href is used, and we need to add a `target` to prevent page navigation within the embed iframe.
It allows saving local date to calendar.
Modal is giving option to pick between ics and google. User choice can be remembered as a default for the next actions.
We don't need no stinkin' denormalization! This commit ignores
the topic_id column on bookmarks, to be deleted at a later date.
We don't really need this column and it's better to rely on the
post.topic_id as the canonical topic_id for bookmarks, then we
don't need to remember to update both columns if the bookmarked
post moves to another topic.
This was problematic if something like SCSS file throws an error as the
app would tell Ember CLI to bootstrap as if everything is fine and not
display the error.
The fix is to only hijack the rendering at the end of the template
instead of the beginning.
This commit updates the RSS post content to use email formatting. Many
plugins are using the `reduce_cooked` method to format content that is
not displayed outside of Discourse application. Using email formatting
also strips the secure media and various other things that is only meant
for Discourse client side application.
The modification date should always be a meta tag to make this less confusing. Especially for imported posts.
That's more in line with how the rest of Discourse presents post dates.
This adds an optional ENV variable, `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS`. If truthy,
compiling production assets will be done via Ember CLI and will replace
the assets Rails would otherwise use.
And also move all the "top topics by period" routes to query string param.
/top/monthly => /top?period=monthly
/c/:slug/:id/l/top/monthly => /c/:slug/:id/l/top?period=monthly
/tag/:slug/l/top/daily => /tag/:slug/l/top?period=daily (new)
This PR makes several changes to the group SMTP email contents to make it look more like a support inbox message.
* Remove the context posts, they only add clutter to the email and replies
* Display email addresses of staged users instead of odd generated usernames
* Add a "please reply above this line" message to sent emails
Before this change, calling `StyleSheet::Manager.stylesheet_details`
for the first time resulted in multiple queries to the database. This is
because the code was modelled in a way where each `Theme` was loaded
from the database one at a time.
This PR restructures the code such that it allows us to load all the
theme records in a single query. It also allows us to eager load the
required associations upfront. In order to achieve this, I removed the
support of loading multiple themes per request. It was initially added
to support user selectable theme components but the feature was never
completed and abandoned because it wasn't a feature that we thought was
worth building.
The `ember_jquery` bundle contains production builds of Ember and jQuery
which doesn't work with tests. This commits introduces a new
`theme_qunit_vendor` bundle which is copy of the `vendor` bundle but
doesn't contain `ember_jquery`.
This commit is a partial revert of
409c8585e4
In Ember CLI addons get put into the vendor bundle, as opposed to their
own bundle like we're doing in the Rails app. We never use pretty-text
without our vendor bundle so this should have no difference on
performance.
We need to keep the pretty-text bundle for server side cooking.
In Ember CLI, the vendor bundler includes Ember/jQuery, so this brings
our app closer to that configuration.
We have a couple pages (Reset Password / Confirm New Email) where we need
`ember_jquery` without vendor so the file still exists for those cases.
Some themes/components depend on plugins, and it would be impossible to write tests for those themes without installing/loading the plugins they depend on.
We really want to encourage all developers to use Ember CLI for local
development and testing. This will display an error page if they are not
with instructions on how to start the local server.
To disable it, you can set `NO_EMBER_CLI=1` as an ENV variable
* FEATURE: Small improvements to the topic list embed
- Ability to wrap the list in a custom class so you can styles different
lists using specific CSS
- Adds a topic link to the thumbnail when using the complete template
* FIX: Be more strict about allowed chars in class name
This commit allows site admins to run theme tests in production via a new `/theme-qunit` route. When you visit `/theme-qunit`, you'll see a list of the themes/components installed on your site that have tests, and from there you can select a theme or component that you run its tests.
We also have a new rake task `themes:install_and_test` that can be used to install a list of themes/components on a temporary database and run the tests of the themes/components that are installed. This rake task can be useful when upgrading/deploying a Discourse instance to make sure that the installed themes/components are compatible with the new Discourse version being deployed, and if the tests fail you can abort the build/deploy process so you don't end up with a broken site.

* DEV: Give a nicer error when `--proxy` argument is missing
* DEV: Improve Ember CLI's bootstrap logic
Instead of having Ember CLI know which URLs to proxy or not, have it try
the URL with a special header `HTTP_X_DISCOURSE_EMBER_CLI`. If present,
and Discourse thinks we should bootstrap the application, it will
instead stop rendering and return a HTTP HEAD with a response header
telling Ember CLI to bootstrap.
In other words, any time Rails would otherwise serve up the HTML for the
Ember app, it stops and says "no, you do it."
* DEV: Support asset filters by path using a new options object
Without this, Ember CLI's bootstrap would not get the assets it wants
because the path it was requesting was different than the browser path.
This adds an optional request header to fix it.
So far this is only used by the styleguide.
This commit allows themes and theme components to have QUnit tests. To add tests to your theme/component, create a top-level directory in your theme and name it `test`, and Discourse will save all the files in that directory (and its sub-directories) as "tests files" in the database. While tests files/directories are not required to be organized in a specific way, we recommend that you follow Discourse core's tests [structure](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/tests).
Writing theme tests should be identical to writing plugins or core tests; all the `import` statements and APIs that you see in core (or plugins) to define/setup tests should just work in themes.
You do need a working Discourse install to run theme tests, and you have 2 ways to run theme tests:
* In the browser at the `/qunit` route. `/qunit` will run tests of all active themes/components as well as core and plugins. The `/qunit` now accepts a `theme_name` or `theme_url` params that you can use to run tests of a specific theme/component like so: `/qunit?theme_name=<your_theme_name>`.
* In the command line using the `themes:qunit` rake task. This take is meant to run tests of a single theme/component so you need to provide it with a theme name or URL like so: `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[name=<theme_name>]` or `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[url=<theme_url>]`.
There are some refactors to how Discourse processes JavaScript that comes with themes/components, and these refactors may break your JS customizations; see https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-core-changes-that-may-break-some-themes-components-april-12/186252?u=osama for details on how you can check if your themes/components are affected and what you need to do to fix them.
This commit also improves theme error handling in Discourse. We will now be able to catch errors that occur when theme initializers are run and prevent them from breaking the site and other themes/components.

There are some refactors to internal code that's responsible for processing themes/components in Discourse, most notably:
* `<script type="text/discourse-plugin">` tags are automatically converted to modules.
* The `theme-settings` service is removed in favor of a simple `lib` file responsible for managing theme settings. This was done to allow us to register/lookup theme settings very early in our Ember app lifecycle and because there was no reason for it to be an Ember service.
These refactors should 100% backward compatible and invisible to theme developers.
browser-update script does not work correctly in some very old browsers
because the contents of <noscript> is not accessible in JavaScript.
For these browsers, the server can display the crawler page and add the
browser update notice.
Simply loading the browser-update script in the crawler view is not a
solution because that means all crawlers will also see it.
This fixes the following error: "Uncaught ReferenceError: I18n is not defined"
The alternative would be to add `locales/#{I18n.locale}`, but the pages do not use any JS.
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
This cookie is only used during login. Having it persist after that can
cause some unusual behavior, especially for sites with short session
lengths.
We were already deleting the cookie following a new signup, but not for
existing users.
This commit moves the cookie deletion logic out of the erb template, and
adds logic and tests to ensure it is always deleted consistently.

CSS are blocking resources, so keeping them below JS delays
rendering of the page. CSS should be loaded ASAP.
This change speeds up first contentful paint by 0.2s on localhost.
The slower the device, the bigger the difference could be.
Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from Universal Analytics v3 `analytics.js` to v4 `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. We're giving admins the option to stay on the v3 API or migrate to v4. Admins can change the implementation they're using via the `ga_version` site setting. Eventually Google will deprecate v3, but our implementation gives admins the choice on what to use for now.
We chose this implementation to make the change less error prone, as many site admins are using custom events via the v3 UA API. With the site stetting defaulted to `v3_analytics`, site analytics won't break until the admin is ready to make the migration.
Additionally, in the v4 implementation, we do not enable automatic pageview tracking (on by default in the v4 API). Instead we rely on Discourse's page change API to report pageviews on transition to avoid double-tracking.
Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from `analytics.js` to `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. This commit updates core Discourse to use the new `gtag.js` API Google is asking sites to use. This API has feature parity with `analytics.js` but does not use trackers.
DEV: Replace instances of Discourse.base_uri with Discourse.base_path
This is clearer because the base_uri is actually just a path prefix. This continues the work started in 555f467.
A first step to adding automatic dark mode color scheme switching. Adds a new SCSS file at `color_definitions.scss` that serves to output all SCSS color variables as CSS custom properties. And replaces all SCSS color variables with the new CSS custom properties throughout the stylesheets.
This is an alpha feature at this point, can only be enabled via console using the `default_dark_mode_color_scheme_id` site setting.
There was a bug that even when `email_digest` was set to false but
`digest_after_minutes` was positive, we were not displaying correct
status.
In addition, the message is improved when the user is unsubscribed +
unsubscribe from all is hidden.
