* FEATURE: Review every post using the review queue.
If the `review_every_post` setting is enabled, posts created and edited by regular uses are sent to the review queue so staff can review them. We'll skip PMs and posts created or edited by TL4 or staff users.
Staff can choose to:
- Approve the post (nothing happens)
- Approve and restore the post (if deleted)
- Approve and unhide the post (if hidden)
- Reject and delete it
- Reject and keep deleted (if deleted)
- Reject and suspend the user
- Reject and silence the user

There is a category setting that enforces 1 or more tags must be added to a topic from a specific tag group before creating it. This validation was not being run before the topic was being sent to a review queue for categories that have that setting enabled.
There was an existing validation in `TopicCreator` but it was not correct; it was only validating when the tags did _not_ exist and also only happened on `create`. I now run the validation in `TopicCreator.valid?`
I also improved the error message shown to the user when they have not added the tags required (showing the tag names from the tag group), and changed the composer tag selector to not show "optional" if there are N tags required from a certain group.
The server used to respond with a generic 'error, contact admin' message
which did not offer any hint what the error was. This happened even when
the error could be easily corrected by the user (for example, if they
chose a very common password).
We introduced a cap on the number of bookmarks the user can add in be145ccf2f. However this has caused unintended side effects; when the `jobs/scheduled/bookmark_reminder_notifications.rb` runs we get this error for users who already had more bookmarks than the limit:
> Job exception: Validation failed: Sorry, you have too many bookmarks, visit #{url}/my/activity/bookmarks to remove some.
This is because the `clear_reminder!` call was triggering a bookmark validation, which raised an error because the user already had to many, holding up other reminders.
This PR also adds `max_bookmarks_per_user` hidden site setting (default 2000). This replaces the BOOKMARK_LIMIT const so we can raise it for certain sites.
This feature used to be controlled by two site settings
enable_personal_email_messages and min_trust_to_send_email_messages.
I removed enable_personal_email_messages and unhide
min_trust_to_send_email_messages to simplify the process of
enabling / disabling this feature.
This PR allows invitations to be used when the DiscourseConnect SSO is enabled for a site (`enable_discourse_connect`) and local logins are disabled. Previously invites could not be accepted with SSO enabled simply because we did not have the code paths to handle that logic.
The invitation methods that are supported include:
* Inviting people to groups via email address
* Inviting people to topics via email address
* Using invitation links generated by the Invite Users UI in the /my/invited/pending route
The flow works like this:
1. User visits an invite URL
2. The normal invitation validations (redemptions/expiry) happen at that point
3. We store the invite key in a secure session
4. The user clicks "Accept Invitation and Continue" (see below)
5. The user is redirected to /session/sso then to the SSO provider URL then back to /session/sso_login
6. We retrieve the invite based on the invite key in secure session. We revalidate the invitation. We show an error to the user if it is not valid. An additional check here for invites with an email specified is to check the SSO email matches the invite email
7. If the invite is OK we create the user via the normal SSO methods
8. We redeem the invite and activate the user. We clear the invite key in secure session.
9. If the invite had a topic we redirect the user there, otherwise we redirect to /
Note that we decided for SSO-based invites the `must_approve_users` site setting is ignored, because the invite is a form of pre-approval, and because regular non-staff users cannot send out email invites or generally invite to the forum in this case.
Also deletes some group invite checks as per https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12353
Staff can send a post to the review queue by clicking the "Flag Post" button next to "Take Action...". Clicking it flags the post using the "Notify moderators" score type and hides it. A custom message will be sent to the user.
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
* FIX: Do not show expired invites under Pending tab
* DEV: Controller action was renamed in previous commit
* FEATURE: Add 'Expired' tab to invites
* FEATURE: Refresh model after removing expired invites
* FEATURE: Do not immediately add invite to the list
Opening the 'create-invite' modal used to automatically generate an
invite to reserve an invite link. If the user did not save it and
closed the modal, the invite would be destroyed. This operations caused
the invite list to change in the background and confuse users.
* FEATURE: Sort redeemed users by creation time
* UX: Improve show / hide advanced options link
* FIX: Show redeemed users even if invites were trashed
* UX: Change modal title when editing invite
* UX: Remove Get Link button
Users can get it from the edit modal

We were sending 2 emails for user silencing if a message was provided in the UI. Also always send email for user silence and user suspend with reason regardless of whether message provided.
though other participants are not in allowed list)
If you create an allowlist of users who can PM you, and use the function
“Only specific users can send me private messages”, then you can’t be
added to group messages unless everyone in that message is already in
your allow list.
This commit allows user to be added to a group message even when other
participants are not in allowed list
This commit includes other various improvements to watched words.
auto_silence_first_post_regex site setting was removed because it overlapped
with 'require approval' watched words.
This setting is confusing admins, it is now hidden by default
It only applies to major updates of the rendering engine or imports and
very infrequently needs tweaking
* DEV: Show warning message when using ember css selectors
When editing the theme css via the admin UI a warning message
will be displayed if it detects that the `#emberXXX` or `.ember-view`
css selectors are being used. These are dynamic selectors that ember
generates, but they can change so they should not be used.
* Update error message text to be more helpful
* Display a warning instead of erroring out
This allows the theme to still be saved, but a warning is displayed.
Updated the tests to check for the error message.
Updated the pre tags css so that it wraps for long messages.
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.
Issue originally reported in https://meta.discourse.org/t/bypass-sso-by-adding-unkown-email-to-group/177339
Inviting people via email address to a group when SSO is enabled (or local logins are disabled) led to a situation where user records were being created bypassing single sign-on.
We already prevent that in most places. This adds required checks to `GroupsController`.
Feature for `Must Approve Users` setup. When a user is rejected, a staff member can optionally set a reason for audit purposes. In addition, feedback email can be sent to the user.

You can let non-staff users use shared drafts by modifying the `shared_drafts_min_trust_level` site setting. These users must have access to the shared draft category.
This adds a new min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore site setting that enables admins to control the point at which a user is allowed to ignore other users.
* FEATURE: display error if Oneboxing fails due to HTTP error
- display warning if onebox URL is unresolvable
- display warning if attributes are missing
* FEATURE: Use new Instagram oEmbed endpoint if access token is configured
Instagram requires an Access Token to access their oEmbed endpoint. The requirements (from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed/) are as follows:
- a Facebook Developer account, which you can create at developers.facebook.com
- a registered Facebook app
- the oEmbed Product added to the app
- an Access Token
- The Facebook app must be in Live Mode
The generated Access Token, once added to SiteSetting.facebook_app_access_token, will be passed to onebox. Onebox can then use this token to access the oEmbed endpoint to generate a onebox for Instagram.

It used to simply say "title is invalid" without giving any hint what
the problem could be. This commit adds different errors messages for
all caps titles, low entropy titles or titles with very long words.
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.
It used to simply say "not allowed" without giving any hint what the
problem could be. This commit refactors the code and tries to improve
readability.
There are issues around displaying images on published pages when secure media is enabled. This PR temporarily makes it appear as if published pages are enabled if secure media is also enabled.
When the linked topic is created we'll not hardcode the topic title and
let onebox work its magic instead so that the title can be updated
automatically.
Users could be silenced or suspended by two staff members at the same time and
would not be aware of it. This commit shows an error message if another penalty
has been applied.
This commit adds a site setting `auto_close_topics_create_linked_topic`
which when enabled works in conjunction with `auto_close_topics_post_count`
setting and creates a new linked topic for the topic just closed.
The auto-created new topic contains a link for all the previous topics
and the topic titles are appended with `(Part {n})`.
The setting is enabled by default.
We remove the slow mode composer message and provide better messages when rejecting new posts and edits. The client now validates if the user tries to post again immediately. Finally, we replaced the `hourglass-end` icon with the `hourglass-start` one.
Most proxies out there will work with chunked encoding transfer. However
some proxies buffer, causing large delays which in turn force the message
bus client to disable chunked encoding. This wastes a request to the message
bus causing superfluous load on the server.
Also
- enableLongPolling is already default true in the client, no need to set it
- remove confusing comment about zepto
Before deleting a topic that has a high number of views (default of 5000), the user will be prompted with a confirmation popup. This works for all delete buttons on the topic located in: topic-timeline, topic-admin-menu, topic-footer-buttons, and post-menu if the post's ID is 1.
The delete button will be disabled while deletion is in progress, to prevent any unwanted behavior.
A site setting is also available to change the minimum amount of views required to display the confirmation popup.
All kudos are going to @RickyC0626. I only rebased with master and added few qunit tests to ensure that this feature works as expected.
Original PR: #10459
* FEATURE - Add SiteSettings to control JPEG image quality
`recompress_original_jpg_quality` - the maximum quality of a newly
uploaded file.
`image_preview_jpg_quality` - the maximum quality of OptimizedImages
* FIX: Ensure slow mode duration is correctly edited and displayed.
This commit fixes a bug where you were forced to set hours, minutes, and seconds or you won't be able to set the slow mode. Also, the duration was not displayed correctly due to the seconds not being truncated.
Additionally, we'll always display the hours, minutes, and seconds inputs for clarity and remove the blue banner.
* Set slow mode modal tweaks.
Uses labels instead of placeholders.
Input fields only visible when custom option selected.
Replace "Custom Duration" with "Pick Duration".
Additionally, place the `Set slow mode` button at the bottom of the topic actions menu.
* Perform the slow_mode validation also on the client-side before saving trying to save the post. This way, the post won't be staged.
Adds a new slow mode for topics that are heating up. Users will have to wait for a period of time before being able to post again.
We store this interval inside the topics table and track the last time a user posted using the last_posted_at datetime in the TopicUser relation.
Dependency on gifsicle, allow_animated_avatars and allow_animated_thumbnails
site settings were all removed. Animated GIF images are still allowed, but
the generated optimized images are no longer animated for those (which were
used for avatars and thumbnails).
The added 'animated' is populated by extracting information using FastImage.
This field was used to selectively reoptimize old animations. This process
happens in the background.
Now that we have support for user-selectable color schemes, it makes sense
to simplify seeding and theme updates in the wizard.
We now:
- seed only one theme, named "Default" (previously "Light")
- seed a user-selectable Dark color scheme
- rename the "Themes" wizard step to "Colors"
- update the default theme's color scheme if a default is set
(a new theme is created if there is no default)
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.
* FIX: second factor cannot be enabled if SSO is enabled
If `enable_sso` setting is enabled then admin should not be able to
enable `enforce_second_factor` setting as that will lock users out.

See https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-a-users-email/164512 for additional context.
Previously when an admin user changed a user's email we assumed that they would need a password reset too because they likely did not have access to their account. This proved to be incorrect, as there are other reasons a user needs admin to change their email. This PR:
* Changes the admin change email for user flow so the user is sent an email to confirm the change
* We now record who the email change request was requested by
* If the requested by user is admin and not the user we note this in the email sent to the user
* We also make the confirm change email route open to anonymous users, so it can be clicked by the user even if they do not have access to their account. If there is a logged in user we make sure the confirmation matches the current user.
Allows site administrators to pick different fonts for headings in the wizard and in their site settings. Also correctly displays the header logos in wizard previews.
This allows administrators to stop automatic redirect to an external authenticator. It only takes effect when there is a single authentication method, and the site is login_required
This is a little bit of refactoring. Core Discourse should have default promotion message for TL2.
In addition, when the Discobot plugin is enabled, the user is invited to advanced training
To check if a post contains any embedded media, we look if the "image_sizes" attribute is present in the new post manager arguments.
We want to see one boxed links, but we only store the raw content of the post. To work around this, I extracted the onebox logic from the composer editor into a module.
In some cases Discourse admins may opt for sessions not to persist when a
browser is closed.
This is particularly useful in healthcare and education settings where
computers are shared among multiple workers.
By default `persistent_sessions` site setting is enabled, to opt out you
must disable the site setting.
This PR introduces a few important changes to secure media redaction in emails. First of all, two new site settings have been introduced:
* `secure_media_allow_embed_images_in_emails`: If enabled we will embed secure images in emails instead of redacting them.
* `secure_media_max_email_embed_image_size_kb`: The cap to the size of the secure image we will embed, defaulting to 1mb, so the email does not become too big. Max is 10mb. Works in tandem with `email_total_attachment_size_limit_kb`.
`Email::Sender` will now attach images to the email based on these settings. The sender will also call `inline_secure_images` in `Email::Styles` after secure media is redacted and attachments are added to replace redaction messages with attached images. I went with attachment and `cid` URLs because base64 image support is _still_ flaky in email clients.
All redaction of secure media is now handled in `Email::Styles` and calls out to `PrettyText.strip_secure_media` to do the actual stripping and replacing with placeholders. `app/mailers/group_smtp_mailer.rb` and `app/mailers/user_notifications.rb` no longer do any stripping because they are earlier in the pipeline than `Email::Styles`.
Finally the redaction notice has been restyled and includes a link to the media that the user can click, which will show it to them if they have the necessary permissions.
This commit adds a new site setting "allowed_onebox_iframes". By default, all onebox iframes are allowed. When the list of domains is restricted, Onebox will automatically skip engines which require those domains, and use a fallback engine.
When someone wants to add > 1000 users at once they will hit a timeout.
Therefore, we should introduce limit and inform the user when limit is exceeded.
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.
Enabling the moderators_manage_categories_and_groups site setting will allow moderator users to create/manage groups.
* show New Group form to moderators
* Allow moderators to update groups and read logs, where appropriate
* Rename site setting from create -> manage
* improved tests
* Migration should rename old log entries
* Log group changes, even if those changes mean you can no longer see the group
* Slight reshuffle
* RouteTo /g if they no longer have permissions to view group
The UI prevents users from trying to create tags on topics when they
don't have permission, but if you are trying to add tags to a topic via
the API and you don't have permission before this change it would
silently succeed in creating the topic, but it wouldn't have any tags.
Now a 422 error will be returned with an error message when trying to
create a topic with tags when tagging is disabled or you don't have
enough trust level to add tags to a topic.
Bug report: https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/70525/14
* DEV: Show message when cannot invite user to PM
When inviting a user to a PM return a message that says, "Sorry, this
user can't be invited." if they have been muted or are not in a users
allowed pm users list.
* Minor refactor & improved some text
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.
* FEATURE: notify admins about old credentials
Security and API keys should be renewed periodically.
This additional notification should help admins keep their Discourse safe and secure.
It might happen that some User records have no associated primary emails.
In which case we don't ever want to send them a digest.
Also added a new "user_email_no_email" skipped email log to ensure these cases
are properly handled and surfaced.
* FEATURE: notify admins about old credentials
Security and API keys should be renewed periodically.
This additional notification should help admins keep their Discourse safe and secure.
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
Adds a new topic_excerpt_maxlength site setting.
* When topic excerpt is requested for a post, use the new topic_excerpt_maxlength site setting to limit the size of the excerpt
* Remove code for getting/setting Post.excerpt_size as it is not used anywhere
1. Total 6 attempts per day per user
2. Total of 5 per unique email/login that is not found per hour
3. If an admin blocks an IP that IP can not request a reset
This adds a site setting (default off) to optionally show a user's local time and timezone in their user card. For example, I live in Brisbane, and if at 3:30PM my time I were to open a user who lives in California's card I would see 22:30 (PST).
This reverts commit 6f9177e2ed.
We decided on a completely different approach to the problem.
Instead we will let blocked emails be treated as canonical.
If for some reason an update did not go through (for example,
concurrently updating the same topic twice), we were logging something
like:
```
create_errors_json called with unrecognized type: #<Topic
```
This happened because we knew an error occurred but the active record
object had no errors attached.
This patch fixes the issue by attaching a proper error message in the
event that this happens.
- Eliminate superfluous "author wrote" block
- Eliminate block-quote for all posts
- Move participant count and reply count to 1 line
- Prioritize name over username if forum requests
- Use fabrication in list controller spec to speed up spec
The new `enforce_canonical_emails` site setting ensures that emails in the
canonical form are unique.
This mean that if `s.a.m+1@gmail.com` is registered `sam@gmail.com` will
not be allowed.
The commit contains a blanket "tag strip" (stripping everything after +)
it also contains special handling of a "dot strip" for googlemail and gmail.
The setting only impacts new registrations after `enforce_canonical_emails`
The setting is default false so it will not impact any existing installs.
We use the `periodical_updates` and `weekly` background jobs to retroactively add/remove the "Summarize This Topic" button for topics according to the `summary_posts_required` or `summary_likes_required` site settings.
If the feature is enabled, staff members can construct a URL and publish a
topic for others to browse without the regular Discourse chrome.
This is useful if you want to use Discourse like a CMS and publish
topics as articles, which can then be embedded into other systems.
The {{date}} interpolated value was removed from the English translations in #9329 but not from the other translations, causing breakages.
Also adds a , inbetween date and time for reminders using long_no_year for readability.
Introduce the concept of "high priority notifications" which include PM and bookmark reminder notifications. Now bookmark reminder notifications act in the same way as PM notifications (float to top of recent list, show in the green bubble) and most instances of unread_private_messages in the UI have been replaced with unread_high_priority_notifications.
The user email digest is changed to just have a section about unread high priority notifications, the unread PM section has been removed.
A high_priority boolean column has been added to the Notification table and relevant indices added to account for it.
unread_private_messages has been kept on the User model purely for backwards compat, but now just returns unread_high_priority_notifications count so this may cause some inconsistencies in the UI.
