Googlebot handles no-index headers very elegantly. It advises to leave as many routes as possible open and uses headers for high fidelity rules regarding indexes.
Discourse adds special `x-robot-tags` noindex headers to users, badges, groups, search and tag routes.
Following up on b52143feff we now have it so Googlebot gets special handling.
Rest of the crawlers get a far more aggressive disallow list to protect against excessive crawling.
This is an edge-case of 9fb3629. An admin could set the shared draft category to one where both TL2 and TL3 users have access but only give shared draft access to TL3 users. If something like this happens, we need to make sure that TL2 users won't be able to see them, and they won't be listed on latest.
Before this change, `SharedDrafts` were lazily created when a destination category was selected. We now create it alongside the topic and set the destination to the same shared draft category.
* FEATURE: Allow categroy group moderators to list/unlist topics
If enabled via SiteSettings, a user belonging to a group which has been granted category group moderator privileges should be able to list/unlist topics belonging to the appropraite category.
* FIX: 'false' value was treated as a truthy value
For example, latest.json?no_subcategories=false used to have set
no_subcategories to the string value of 'false', which is not false.
* DEV: Remove dead code
* FIX: Redirect to /none under the right conditions
These conditions are:
- neither /all or /none present
- only for default filter
* FIX: Build correct topic list filter
/none was never added to the topic list filter
* FIX: Do not show count for subcategories if 'none' category
* FIX: preload_key must contain /none if no_subcategories
25563357 moved the logout redirect logic from the client-side to the server-side. Unfortunately the login_required check was lost during the refactoring which meant that non-login-required sites would redirect to `/login` after redirect, and immediately restart the login process. Depending on the SSO implementation, that can make it impossible for users to log out cleanly.
This commit restores the login_required check, and prevents the potential redirect loop.
We should always hide user_id in response when `hide_email_address_taken` setting is enabled. Currently, it can be used to determine if the email was used or not.
This ensures that users are only served cached content in their own language. This commit also refactors to make use of the `Discourse.cache` framework rather than direct redis access
* FEATURE: onebox for local categories
This commit adjusts the category onebox to look more like the category boxes do on the category page.

- Display reason for validation error when logging in via an authenticator
- Fix email validation handling for 'Discourse SSO', and add a spec
Previously, validation errors (e.g. blocked or already-taken emails) would raise a generic error with no useful information.
At the moment, when filtering by group, the directory will unconditionally return the current user at the top of the list. This is quite unexpected, given that the user is deliberately trying to filter the list. This commit makes sure the 'include current user' logic only triggers for unfiltered directories
After the search term is parsed for advanced search filters, the term may
become empty. Later, the same term will be passed to Discourse.route_for
which will raise an ArgumentError.
> URI(nil)
ArgumentError: bad argument (expected URI object or URI string)
* 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.
* DEV: update user agent string
* DEV: don’t do HEAD requests against news.yahoo.com
* DEV: Bump onebox version from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6
* DEV: Avoid re-reading templates
* DEV: Tweaks to onebox mustache templates
* DEV: simplified error message for missing onebox data
* Apply suggestions from code review

Allowing the editing of remote themes has been something Discourse has advised against for some time. This commit removes the ability to edit or upload files to remote themes from Admin > Customize to enforce the recommended practice.
Previously, `/u/by-external/{id}` would only work for 'Discourse SSO' systems. This commit adds a new 'provider' parameter to the URL: `/u/by-external/{provider}/{id}`
This is compatible with all auth methods which have migrated to the 'ManagedAuthenticator' pattern. That includes all core providers, and also popular plugins such as discourse-oauth2-basic and discourse-openid-connect.
The new route is admin-only, since some authenticators use sensitive information like email addresses as the external id.
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.
* FEATURE - allow category group moderators to delete topics
* Allow individual posts to be deleted
* DEV - refactor for new `can_moderate_topic?` method
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.
- IgnoredUser records should all now have an expiring_at value. This commit enforces that in the DB, and fixes any corrupt rows
- Changes to the ignored user list are now handled by the `/u/{username}/notification_level` endpoint. This allows setting expiration dates on the ignore. This commit removes the old logic for saving a list of usernames in the user preferences.
- Many specs were calling `IgnoredUser.create`. This commit changes them to use `Fabricate(:ignored_user)` for consistency
This reverts commit e3de45359f.
We need to improve out strategy by adding a cache breaker with this change ... some assets on CDNs and clients may have incorrect CORS headers which can cause stuff to break.
Documenting a few more endpoints so that our api docs can be
automatically generated. Made a couple other minor changes, like
including the "OK" example for our default success response.
* FEATURE: allow category group moderators to edit posts
If the `enable_category_group_moderation` SiteSetting is enabled, posts should be editable by those belonging to the appropraite groups.
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.
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.
When enable_personal_messages was disabled, moderators could not see
the private messages for the "moderators" group. The link was displayed
on the client side, but the checks on the server side did not allow it.
Previously, moving a category into another one, that already had a child category of that name (but with a non-conflicting slug) would cause a 500 error:
```
# PG::UniqueViolation:
# ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "unique_index_categories_on_name"
# DETAIL: Key (COALESCE(parent_category_id, '-1'::integer), name)=(5662, Amazing Category 0) already exists.
```
It now returns 422, and shows the same message as when you're renaming a category: "Category Name has already been taken".
Error messages for exceeded rate limits and invalid parameters always used the English locale instead of the default locale or the current user's locale.
The download link on the lightbox for images was not downloading the image if the upload was marked secure, because the code in the upload controller route was not respecting the dl=1 param for force download.
This PR fixes this so the download link works for secure images as well as regular ligthboxed images.
Extracted commonly used spec helpers into spec/support/uploads_helpers.rb, removed unused stubs and let definitions. Makes it easier to write new S3-related specs without copy and pasting setup steps from other specs.
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
Since 9e4ed03, moderators can view groups with visibility level set to "Group owners, members and moderators".
This fixes an issue where moderators can see the group in /g but then get a 404 when clicking on individual groups.
This PR removes the user reminder topic timers, because that system has been supplanted and improved by bookmark reminders. The option is removed from the UI and all existing user reminder topic timers are migrated to bookmark reminders.
Migration does this:
* Get all topic_timers with status_type 5 (reminders)
* Gets all bookmarks where the user ID and topic ID match
* Loops through the found topic timers
* If there is no bookmark for the OP of the topic, then we just create a bookmark with a reminder
* If there is a bookmark for the OP of the topic and it does **not** have a reminder set, then just
update it with the topic timer reminder
* If there is a bookmark for the OP of the topic with a reminder then just discard the topic timer
* Cancels all outstanding user reminder topic timers
* **Trashes (not deletes) all user reminder topic timers**
Notes:
* For now I have left the user reminder topic timer job class in place; this is so the jobs can be cancelled in the migration. It and the specs will be deleted in the next PR.
* At a later date I will write a migration to delete all trashed user topic timers. They are not deleted here in case there are data issues and they need to be recovered.
* A future PR will change the UI of the topic timer modal to make it look more like the bookmark modal.
Currently, if a group's visibility is set to "Group owners, members" then the mods can't view those group pages. The same rule is applied for members visibility setting too.
This reverts commit 7fc7090. And fixed the spec test fails.
There is a request spec that was ignored with the `xit` flag almost a
year ago and every time you generate the api docs with
```
rake rswag:specs:swaggerize
```
it shows the output of this pending test and I guess I finally got sick
of looking at it, so here is a fix for it.
Original Commit: d84c34ad75
When a category is removed from `auto_watch_category` we are removing
CategoryUser. However, there are still TopicUser with notification level
set to `watching` which was inherited from Category.
We should move them back to `regular` unless they were modified by a user.
These fields are required when using the UI and if `suspend_until`
params isn't used the user never is actually suspended so we should
require these fields when suspending a user.
This commit is addressing an issue where it is possible that there could
be multiple topic timer jobs running to close a topic or a weird race
condition state causing a topic that was just closed to be re-opened.
By removing the logic from the Topic Timer model into the Topic Timer
controller endpoint we isolate the code that is used for setting an
auto-open or an auto-close timer to just that functionality making the
topic timer background jobs safer if multiple are running.
Possibly in the future if we would like this logic back in the model a
refactor will be needed where we actually pass in the auto-close and
auto-open action instead of mixing it with the close and open
action that is currently being passed to the controller.
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.
* FIX: Unlike own posts on ownership transfer
If a user has liked a post that has passed the
`post_undo_action_window_mins` system setting window and you transfer ownership
of that post to that user you will be the owner of a post that you have
liked, but cannot unlike resulting in a weird UI behavior. This commit
fixes this issue.
The existing tests didn't check for the timeout window for unliking
posts so I added that in.
I couldn't find a good way to do this logic inside of the guardian class
so rather than duplicating behavior of the `PostActionDestroyer` class
inside of the `PostOwnerChanger` I decided to pass in a "bypass"
variable that could be used to check if the calling class is the
'post_owner_changer' and bypass the guardian instead. I went this route
because the guardian `can_delete_post_action` method has no way of
distinguishing how to allow a user to be able to unlike their own posts
after the timeout window but only on a post owner change.
* use an options hash instead
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 category model already has a default value for `color` and
`text_color` so they don't need to be required via the API. The ember UI
already requires that colors be selected.
The name of the category also doesn't need to be required when updating
the category either because we are already passing in the id for the
category we want to change.
These changes improve the api experience because you no longer have to
lookup the category name, color, or text color before updating a single
category attribute. When creating a category the name is still required.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/132424/2
The `/directory_items` route needs to have a .json url, but the rails
url helper `_path` doesn't return the format of the route.
I tried passing in a format options to `directory_items_path`. Which
works in the rails console
```
[8] pry(main)> directory_items_path(params.merge(:format => :json))
=> "/directory_items.json?page=1"
```
but when I added that some logic to the controller it comes out as
```
/directory_items?format=json&page=1
```
(which is actually how I expect it to work based on how you pass in the
format param). Anyways, because I couldn't figure out how to pass a
format to the `_path` helper I just used URI.parse to append `.json`
manually.
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
When a tab is open but left unattended for a while, the red, green, and blue
pills tend to go out of sync.
So whevener we open the notifications menu, we sync up the notification count
(eg. blue and green pills) with the server.
However, the reviewable count (eg. the red pill) is not a notification and
is located in the hamburger menu. This commit adds a new route on the server
side to retrieve the reviewable count for the current user and a ping
(refreshReviewableCount) from the client side to sync the reviewable count
whenever they open the hamburger menu.
REFACTOR: I also refactored the hamburger-menu widget code to prevent repetitive uses
of "this.".
PERF: I improved the performance of the 'notify_reviewable' job by doing only 1 query
to the database to retrieve all the pending reviewables and then tallying based on the
various rights.
* FEATURE: set notification levels when added to a group
This feature allows admins and group owners to define default
category and tag tracking levels that will be applied to user
preferences automatically at the time when users are added to the
group. Users are free to change those preferences afterwards.
When removed from a group, the user's notification preferences aren't
changed.
This commit should cause no functional change
- Split into functions to avoid deep nesting
- Register custom field type, and remove manual json parse/serialize
- Recover from deleted upload records
Also adds a test to ensure pull_hotlinked_images redownloads secure images only once
Apparently latest.json and latest.rss are not routed to the same
controller methods. This change allows for any passed in query
parameters to actually be applied to the rss route.
This came in as a request on meta:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/155812/6
Currently, we only reset `email_digests`, `email_level` and `email_messages_level` when the user wants to unsubscribe from all email.
`mailing_list_mode` should be reset as well
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.
Before this commit if you were bulk removing group members and passed in
a user who wasn't currently a member of that group the whole request
would fail. This change will return a 200 response now listing the users
that were removed and those that were skipped.
* Added scopes UI
* Create scopes when creating a new API key
* Show scopes on the API key show route
* Apply scopes on API requests
* Extend scopes from plugins
* Add missing scopes. A mapping can be associated with multiple controller actions
* Only send scopes if the use global key option is disabled. Use the discourse plugin registry to add new scopes
* Add not null validations and index for api_key_id
* Annotate model
* DEV: Move default mappings to ApiKeyScope
* Remove unused attribute and improve UI for existing keys
* Support multiple parameters separated by a comma
Category and tag hashtags used to be handled differently even though
most of the code was very similar. This design was the root cause of
multiple issues related to hashtags.
This commit reduces the number of requests (just one and debounced
better), removes the use of CSS classes which marked resolved hashtags,
simplifies a lot of the code as there is a single source of truth and
previous race condition fixes are now useless.
It also includes a very minor security fix which let unauthorized users
to guess hidden tags.
* FIX: Improve category hashtag lookup
This commit improves support for sub-sub-categories and does not include
the ID of the category in the slug, which fixes the composer preview.
* FIX: Sub-sub-categories can be mentioned using only two levels
* FIX: Remove support for three-level hashtags
* DEV: Simplify code
The previous fix (f43c0a5d85) wasn't working for images that were already uploaded.
The "metadata" (eg. 'for_*' and 'secure' attributes) were not added to existing uploads.
Also used 'Upload.get_from_url' is the admin/site_setting controller to properly retrieve
an upload from its URL.
Fixed the Upload::URL_REGEX to use the \h (hexadecimal) for the SHA
Follow-up-to: f43c0a5d85
When uploading an image as a site setting, we need to return the "raw" URL, otherwise
when saving the site setting, the upload won't be looked up properly.
Follow-up-to: f11363d446
* FEATURE: Don't display muted/ignored users under "who liked"
Previously, if you clicked on the heart icon below a post
it would show you the avatar for a user even if you ignored or muted
them.
This commit will instead display a (?) icon. The count of likes will
remain correct, but you needn't be reminded of the person you
preferred not to see.
* Use a circle instead of (?) for unknown user
Adds new hidden site settings for rate limits:
30 for logged in users, 15 for anon
Adds an anon cache for searching, caches results of searches for 1 minute
Discourse needs a bunch of data preloaded before it can start up.
Normally we throw blobs of this into the HTML document that is requested
but in some cases that's awkward to retrieve.
For example with Ember CLI you have a separate javascript application
that needs to make its own HTML.
This API endpoint returns a JSON object with all the data Discourse needs to
bootstrap and start up.
In some restricted setups all JS payloads need tight control.
This setting bans admins from making changes to JS on the site and
requires all themes be whitelisted to be used.
There are edge cases we still need to work through in this mode
hence this is still not supported in production and experimental.
Use an example like this to enable:
`DISCOURSE_WHITELISTED_THEME_REPOS="https://repo.com/repo.git,https://repo.com/repo2.git"`
By default this feature is not enabled and no changes are made.
One exception is that default theme id was missing a security check
this was added for correctness.
Fixes a regression in
e8fb9d4066
which caused a bug where you couldn't send a message to a group that
contained an Uppercase letter. Added a test case for this.
Bug report: https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/152999
* FIX: add X-Robots-Tag header for check_xhr-covered GET actions, too
see https://meta.discourse.org/t/missing-x-robots-tag/152593/3 for context
* test: a spec making sure X-Robots-Tag header is present when needed
/groups path responds to anonymous requests and doesn't skip `check_xhr` method, so we can use it here.
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)
* FIX: randomize file name when created from fixtures
When a temporary file is created from fixtures it should have a unique name.
It is to prevent a collision in parallel specs evaluation
* FIX: use /tmp/pid folder to keep fixture files
Signed S3 URLs are valid for 15 seconds, so we can safely allow the browser to cache them for 10 seconds. This should help with large numbers of requests when composing a post with many images.
* DEV: Add framework for filtered plugin registers
Plugins often need to add values to a list, and we need to filter those lists at runtime to ignore values from disabled plugins. This commit provides a re-usable way to do that, which should make it easier to add new registers in future, and also reduce repeated code.
Follow-up commits will migrate existing registers to use this new system
* DEV: Migrate user and group custom field APIs to plugin registry
This gives us a consistent system for checking plugin enabled state, so we are repeating less logic. API changes are backwards compatible
* DEV: Standardize table sorting verbiage
This commit creates a common component that tables can use to make their
headers sortable. This commit also standardizes on using `desc` as the
default and passing in the `asc=true` flag to adjust the sorting
direction.
* Add deprecation warnings
Adds deprecation warnings if using previous params and maintains
backwards compatibility. Set the default sort value for group members to
be asc.
* switch group requests to use common table-header-toggle
* update fixture
This commit prevents a 500 error from occurring if someone is trying to
setup their discourse instance as a sso provider and they don't pass in
a `return_sso_url` in their payload.
* FEATURE: Support for App Shortcuts Menu
This adds a list of shortcuts to a installed Discourse instance.
It can be accessed by right clicks or long press on the app icon.
See https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/master/Shortcuts/explainer.md
List of possible follow ups include:
- Making it admin customizable
- Making it user customizable
- Using SVG icons from the site icon sprite
- Picking an accent color for icons
* FIX: Add type to shortcut menu icons
This refactors default_current_user_provider in a few ways:
- Introduce a generic `api_parameter_allowed?` method which checks for whitelisted routes/formats
- Only read the api_key parameter on allowed routes. It is now completely ignored on other routes (previously it would raise a 403)
- Start reading user_api_key parameter on allowed routes
- Refactor tests as end-end integration tests
A plugin API for PARAMETER_API_PATTERNS will be added soon
Previously we only changed sequence on ownership change, this
cause a race condition between tabs where user could type for a
long time without being warned of an out of date draft.
This change is a radical change and we should watch closely.
Code was already in place to track sequence on the client so no
changes are needed there.
For pages that do not specify canonical URL we will default to `https://SITENAME/PATH`.
This ensures that if a URL is crawled on the CDN the search ranking will transfer to the main site.
Additionally we whitelist the `?page` param
* DEV: api documentation updates
- Created a script to convert json responses to rswag
- Documented several api endpoints
- Switched rswag to use header based auth
* Update script, fix some schema missmatches
Google insists on indexing pages so it can figure out if they
can be removed from the index.
see: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6332384?hl=en
This change ensures the we have special behavior for Googlebot
where we allow indexing, but block the actual indexing via
X-Robots-Tag
Expand SiteSetting.allow_index_in_robots_txt so it also adds a
noindex header if set to false.
This makes sure that nothing is indexed even if it somehow reaches
Google.
1. Total 6 attempts per day per user
2. Total of 5 per unique email/login that is not found per hour
