* 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`)
It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
Breakdown of fixes in this commit:
* `UserStat#topic_count` was not updated when visibility of
the topic changed.
* `UserStat#post_count` was not updated when post was hidden or
unhidden.
* `TopicConverter` was only incrementing or decrementing the counts by 1
even if a user has multiple posts in the topic.
* The commit turns off the verbose logging by default as it is just
noise to normal users who are not debugging this problem.
Previously, while retrieving each upload urls in a post S3 CDN urls with different path in prefix (external urls technically) are considered as uploaded url. It created issue while checking missing uploads.
We renamed the site setting for this long ago, but there
were a few places left in the code base where "ninja edit"
needed to be turned into "grace period". Doing this here
to avoid combatative language.
This PR adds security_last_changed_at and security_last_changed_reason to uploads. This has been done to make it easier to track down why an upload's secure column has changed and when. This necessitated a refactor of the UploadSecurity class to provide reasons why the upload security would have changed.
As well as this, a source is now provided from the location which called for the upload's security status to be updated as they are several (e.g. post creator, topic security updater, rake tasks, manual change).
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.
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.
We must guarantee that "rel=noopener" was set if "target=_blank" is present, which is not always the case for trusted users. Also, if the link contains the "nofollow" attribute, it has to have the "ugc" attribute as well.
Normally, secure media urls are linked like `/secure-media-uploads/...`. In this case, uploads were already being linked correctly.
But sometimes (e.g. when pulling hotlinked onebox images) secure media is referenced with a full domain name (`//example.com/secure-media-uploads`). This commit ensures that those uploads are also linked correctly.
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)
* We now have a site setting "topic_excerpt_maxlength" that is used when the OP is created or revised to generate a topic excerpt.
* However, posts created before this setting was introduced cannot benefit from this change unless they are revised, and if the topic excerpt length setting is changed that situation is also not covererd.
* This PR makes a change to rebake! to update the topic excerpt IF the post is the OP.
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
If the “secure media” site setting is enabled then ALL files uploaded to Discourse (images, video, audio, pdf, txt, zip etc. etc.) will follow the secure media rules. The “prevent anons from downloading files” setting will no longer have any bearing on upload security. Basically, the feature will more appropriately be called “secure uploads” instead of “secure media”.
This is being done because there are communities out there that would like all attachments and media to be secure based on category rules but still allow anonymous users to download attachments in public places, which is not possible in the current arrangement.
* DEV: Replace User.unstage and User#unstage API with User#unstage!
Quoting @SamSaffron:
> User.unstage mixes concerns of both unstaging users and updating params which is fragile/surprising.
> u.unstage destroys notifications and raises a user_unstaged event prior to the user becoming unstaged and the user object being saved.
User#unstage! no longer updates user attributes and saves the object before triggering the `user_unstaged` event.
* Update one more spec
* Assign attributes after unstaging
If a group mention could be notified on preview it was given an `<a>`
tag with the `.notify` class. When cooked it would display differently.
This patch makes the server side cooking match the client preview.
* Because custom emoji count as post "uploads" we were
marking them as secure when updating the secure status for post uploads.
* We were also giving them an access control post id, which meant
broken image previews from 403 errors in the admin custom emoji list.
* We now check if an upload is used as a custom emoji and do not
assign the access control post + never mark as secure.
If our reply tree somehow ends up with cycles or other odd
structures, we only want to consider a reply once, at the first
level in the tree that it appears.
It seems in some situations replies have been moved to other topics but
the `PostReply` table has not been updated. I will try and fix this in a
follow up PR, but for now this fix ensures that every time we ask a post
for its replies that we restrict it to the same topic.
### General Changes and Duplication
* We now consider a post `with_secure_media?` if it is in a read-restricted category.
* When uploading we now set an upload's secure status straight away.
* When uploading if `SiteSetting.secure_media` is enabled, we do not check to see if the upload already exists using the `sha1` digest of the upload. The `sha1` column of the upload is filled with a `SecureRandom.hex(20)` value which is the same length as `Upload::SHA1_LENGTH`. The `original_sha1` column is filled with the _real_ sha1 digest of the file.
* Whether an upload `should_be_secure?` is now determined by whether the `access_control_post` is `with_secure_media?` (if there is no access control post then we leave the secure status as is).
* When serializing the upload, we now cook the URL if the upload is secure. This is so it shows up correctly in the composer preview, because we set secure status on upload.
### Viewing Secure Media
* The secure-media-upload URL will take the post that the upload is attached to into account via `Guardian.can_see?` for access permissions
* If there is no `access_control_post` then we just deliver the media. This should be a rare occurrance and shouldn't cause issues as the `access_control_post` is set when `link_post_uploads` is called via `CookedPostProcessor`
### Removed
We no longer do any of these because we do not reuse uploads by sha1 if secure media is enabled.
* We no longer have a way to prevent cross-posting of a secure upload from a private context to a public context.
* We no longer have to set `secure: false` for uploads when uploading for a theme component.
This PR introduces a new secure media setting. When enabled, it prevent unathorized access to media uploads (files of type image, video and audio). When the `login_required` setting is enabled, then all media uploads will be protected from unauthorized (anonymous) access. When `login_required`is disabled, only media in private messages will be protected from unauthorized access.
A few notes:
- the `prevent_anons_from_downloading_files` setting no longer applies to audio and video uploads
- the `secure_media` setting can only be enabled if S3 uploads are already enabled and configured
- upload records have a new column, `secure`, which is a boolean `true/false` of the upload's secure status
- when creating a public post with an upload that has already been uploaded and is marked as secure, the post creator will raise an error
- when enabling or disabling the setting on a site with existing uploads, the rake task `uploads:ensure_correct_acl` should be used to update all uploads' secure status and their ACL on S3
Previously the 'local_cdn_url' method didn't returned the correct cdn url. So we written few incorrect spec tests too.\n\nf92a6f7ac5228342177bf089d269e2f69a69e2f5
The URL '/images/transparent.png' will be used in the cooked content if upload record not found. In that case we have to use 'short_url' as image src in 'post.each_upload_url' method.

This new setting option lets group owners message/mention large groups
without granting that privilege to all members.
