This is a low severity security fix because it requires a logged in
admin user to update a site setting via the API directly to an invalid
value.
The fix adds validation for the affected site settings, as well as a
secondary fix to prevent injection in the event of bad data somehow
already exists.
* FEATURE: admin/user exports are compressed using the zip format
* Update translations. Theme exporter now exports .zip file. Theme importer supports .zip and .gz files
* Fix controller test, updated locale and skip saving the csv export to disk
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/121589
This new setting option lets group owners message/mention large groups
without granting that privilege to all members.
Groups can now be marked as visible to "logged on users". All automatic groups (except `everyone`) are now visible to "logged on users", previously they were marked as public but suppressed in the group page for non-staff.
If a database exception is raised ActiveRecord will always rollback
even if caught.
Instead we build the query in manual SQL and DO NOTHING when there's a
conflict. If we detect nothing was done, perform an update.
This allows you to temporarily disable components without having to remove them from a theme.
This feature is very handy when doing quick fix engineering.
The global setting disable_search_queue_threshold
(DISCOURSE_DISABLE_SEARCH_QUEUE_THRESHOLD) which default to 1 second was
added.
This protection ensures that when the application is unable to keep up with
requests it will simply turn off search till it is not backed up.
To disable this protection set this to 0.
The behaviour of #TERM in search has been amended
1. We try category or subcategory slugs
2. We try tags
3. We try tag-groups
The term `hello #my-group` will search for all posts tagged with any of
the tags in the tag group `My Group`
Future work may be introducing a slug cache here or caching it in the table
but the assumption is that the number of tag groups will not be huge
Adds a second factor landing page that centralizes a user's second factor configuration.
This contains both TOTP and Backup, and also allows multiple TOTP tokens to be registered and organized by a name. Access to this page is authenticated via password, and cached for 30 minutes via a secure session.
Previously users were still allowed to create topic via API even if
uncategorized was disabled.
Not 100% happy with all this special casing, but I guess we have to do
something.
This also splits up a mega spec now that we have fab! into a more easy to
understand structure (I hope)
This can cause unbound CPU usage in some cases, and excessive logging in other cases. This commit moves redis readonly information into the local process, but maintains the DistributedCache for postgres readonly state.
* Remove unused method
* Prefabricate user in category_user_spec.rb
* FIX: Remove notification_level from category_users unique indexes
* FIX: CategoryUser#batch_set wasn't updating pre-existing records
* Improve tests for CategoryUser#batch_set
* FIX: changed was being reported incorrectly
* DEV: Rewrote query to do a bulk insert
* DEV: remove unnecessary parentheses
When both a cdn URL and an s3 cdn URL defined, subfolder paths were leaking
through to the s3 cdn URL. If we are replacing the cdn url with the s3_cdn url,
we also need to make sure that the subpath is removed as well, as it appears in
the original cdn url.
The test should give a fairly good gist of the situations - in subfolder
situations where s3_cdn and a cdn is defined:
`asset_path` returns the asset with a subfolder, in the form `{cdn_url}/{subfolder}/{asset_path}`
Currently this is being replaced to `{s3_cdn_url}/{subfolder}/{asset_path}`
I am proposing we change this to: `{s3_cdn_url}/{asset_path}` as it seems like
for s3_cdn urls we should not be carrying around app subfolder pathing anywhere
we are looking up s3 paths.
* SECURITY: Add confirmation screen when logging in via email link
* SECURITY: Add confirmation screen when logging in via user-api OTP
* FIX: Correct translation key in session controller specs
* FIX: Use .email-login class for page
We now treat any external_id of blank string (" " or " " or "", etc) or a
invalid word (none, nil, blank, null) - case insensitive - as invalid.
In this case the client will see "please contact admin" the logs will explain
the reason clearly.
This previously was a hot path in topic view. Avoids an expensive active
record operation and instead perform SQL directly which is far more
targeted and efficient
- Correct create_category_definition to skip validations and use a
transaction, no longer able to create corrupt topics
- ensure_consistency now clears topic_id if pointing at deleted or missing
topic_id
- Stop creating category definition topics for uncategorized
* Support private uploads in S3
* Use localStore for local avatars
* Add job to update private upload ACL on S3
* Test multisite paths
* update ACL for private uploads in migrate_to_s3 task
* Expose a new plugin outlet. Pass group model to the group-member-dropdown so it can be accessed by plugins
* Added controller tests for group custom fields. update custom fields when updating a group
We now show if a queued or flagged post is a reply to another when in
the review queue. It's especially helpful for queued posts where
normally they are linked to the topic where they are created, and you
have no context about the reply.
Note that this will only apply to new queued posts going forward.
Previously queued posts will not show the "in reply to"
This adds support for DISCOURSE_ENABLE_PERFORMANCE_HTTP_HEADERS
when set to `true` this will turn on performance related headers
```text
X-Redis-Calls: 10 # number of redis calls
X-Redis-Time: 1.02 # redis time in seconds
X-Sql-Commands: 102 # number of SQL commands
X-Sql-Time: 1.02 # duration in SQL in seconds
X-Queue-Time: 1.01 # time the request sat in queue (depends on NGINX)
```
To get queue time NGINX must provide: HTTP_X_REQUEST_START
We do not recommend you enable this without thinking, it exposes information
about what your page is doing, usually you would only enable this if you
intend to strip off the headers further down the stream in a proxy
Previously as soon as any override was defined we would regress to the slow
path for locale lookups. Additionally if `raise: true` was specified which
rails likes to add in views we would bypass the cache
The new design manages to use the fast path for many more cases
The site settings beginning with "topic views heat" and "topic post like
heat" are set to defaults when installing Discourse, but there has not
been a process or guidance for updating these values based on
community activity.
This feature will update them once a month. The low, medium, and
high settings will be based on the minimums of the 45th, 25th, and
10th percentile topics respectively, so that 45% of topics will have
some "heat".
Disable automatic changes with the automatic_topic_heat_values setting.
This does two things
1. Our "index grace period" has been wound down to 1 day, there is no point
keeping a bloated index for a week, usually when people delete stuff they
mean for it to be removed
2. We were never dropping deleted posts from the index, only posts from
deleted topics
These changes speed up search a tiny bit and reduce background work.
Previous to this fix is a post had the test www.test.com/abc it would fail
to index.
This also simplifies the rules to avoid full url parsing which can be
expensive
This reverts commit 1fbe078ae0.
`UserProfile` is created in a callback after the user has been created.
As such, it should be impossible for a user to not have a blank
`UserProfile`. This was also improved in
4f5c9bb8d3.
You can now add javascript files under `/javascripts/*` in a theme, and they will be loaded as if they were included in core, or a plugin. If you give something the same name as a core/plugin file, it will be overridden. Support file extensions are `.js.es6`, `.hbs` and `.raw.hbs`.
This is an attempt to fix the flaky:
```
1) Jobs::Onceoff can run all once off jobs without errors
Failure/Error: self.locale_no_cache = value
I18n::InvalidLocale:
:bar is not a valid locale
# ./lib/freedom_patches/translate_accelerator.rb:193:in `locale='
# ./app/jobs/onceoff/clean_up_user_export_topics.rb:7:in `block in execute_onceoff'
# ./app/jobs/onceoff/clean_up_user_export_topics.rb:6:in `map'
# ./app/jobs/onceoff/clean_up_user_export_topics.rb:6:in `execute_onceoff'
# ./spec/integrity/onceoff_integrity_spec.rb:13:in `block (3 levels) in <main>'
# ./spec/integrity/onceoff_integrity_spec.rb:12:in `each'
# ./spec/integrity/onceoff_integrity_spec.rb:12:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'
```
This feature allows end users to "defer" topics by marking them unread
The functionality is default disabled. This also introduces the new site
setting default_other_enable_defer: to enable this by default on new user
accounts.
This backend is a bit faster and well tested, this is part of a longer
term plan to have a `backend: :memory, threaded: false` type config for
message bus which we can use in test.
The threading in message bus causes all sorts of surprises in test, it will
be nice not to be beholden to them.
Previously we used custom fields to denote a user was anonymous, this was
risky in that custom fields are prone to race conditions and are not
properly dedicated, missing constraints and so on.
The new table `anonymous_users` is properly protected. There is only one
possible shadow account per user, which is enforced using a constraint.
Every anonymous user will have a unique row in the new table.
SSO uses a special param to username suggester that whitelists a username
due to previous work we amended our lookup logic and started ignoring this
whitelist.
The fix ensures we always respect it, and also improves on the original
implementation that forgot to normalize the username.
This also corrects FileHelper.download so it supports "follow_redirect"
correctly (it used to always follow 1 redirect) and adds a `validate_url`
param that will bypass all uri validation if set to false (default is true)
The `AutoQueueHandler` will ignore really old flags. In that case, don't
notify the user that the moderator is looking into it. They probably
never saw it because it didn't meet the reviewable minimum priority.
* FEATURE: detect theme errors and catch them
* Bump COMPILER_VERSION
* Feedback
* Override eslint no console for one line
* Can't use our ajax method
* remove emoji from translation file
Apparently is is possible to have a user without a user_profile. This
fix will return nil for any user_profile fields during serialization
(like the after delete web hook) instead of blowing up.
The issue here was that, with prefabrication, bumped_at was being
persisted and then loaded and the DB was storing it with less precision
than the object state.
* Updated test-prof
* Made rails_helper.rb use new test-prof APIs
Instead of the previous temporary hacks.
* Added environment option to disable prefabrication
It was removed mistakenly
Net::HTTP always returns ASCII-8BIT encoding. File.read auto-detects the encoding. This leads to an encoding inconsistency between a fresh download, and a cached download. This commit ensures all downloaded files are treated equally, by always returning the cached version from the filesystem, even during initial download.
One symptom of this problem is during theme exports: https://meta.discourse.org/t/116907

Having different behavior for staff and regular users can make it confusing for admins to understand how their configuration changes affect regular users
Previously username suggester would give up after 100 attempts at getting
a username and fallback to random string.
This amends the logic so we do all the work of figuring out a good username
in SQL and avoids a large amount of queries in cases where a lot of usernames
were used up.
This corrects an issue on sites with large numbers of anon users
Use the cooked version of the post and the quote to compare their content in
order to take into account the "typographer" option of the markdown pipeline.
Previously external domains were allowed in the client-side redirects, but not the server-side redirects. Now the behavior is to only allow local origins.
We were blocking user registrations with same username and password,
but allowing usernames to be changed to be same as password later.
Also disallow names to be the same as password.
There was a race condition when 2 invites existed for 1 user where in some
cases data from both invites would be used for the redeem. Depending on DB
ordering.
Fix is to delete duplicate invites earlier in the process prior to
`redeem_from_email` being called.
* English shouldn't fallback to any other locale
* Calculate fallback for default locale if it isn't English (useful for en_US)
* Reuse the fallback locale list when outputting translations to JavaScript
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
The instagram onebox sometimes surrounds the image with an `<a>` tag, which was breaking the aspect ratio logic, and therefore causing posts to change height on load.
Before: 6:05
After: 5:42
Featuring topics for `list/categories` is a very expensive operation that
happened each time we created a topic. This introduces a test only bypass
This is a feature that used to be present in discourse-assign but is
much easier to implement in core. It also allows a topic to be assigned
without it claiming for review and vice versa and allows it to work with
category group reviewers.
If creating a topic via the api as an admin and the category you specify
cannot be found an error will now be returned instead of just creating
the topic with no category. This will prevent accidental public topic
creation originally intended for a private category.
This commit is follow up to 535c594891 and
still allows for the creation of topics where the category param is
blank.
If creating a topic via the api as an admin and the category you specify
cannot be found an error will now be returned instead of just creating
the topic with no category. This will prevent accidental public topic
creation originally intended for a private category.
Since 5bfe051e, Discourse user agents are marked as non-crawlers (to avoid accidental blacklisting). This makes sure pageviews for these agents are tracked as crawler hits.
Hardcoding the number 1 into a test means that the test may fail if topic_id
1 is somehow seeded
This ensures we are always talking about a topic that does not exist
We found score hard to understand. It is still there behind the scenes
for sorting purposes, but it is no longer shown.
You can now filter by minimum priority (low, med, high) instead of
score.
* Moved let to more appropriate scopes
* Refactored tests
It's confusing when let blocks in a parent context depend on other let
blocks from a child context.
* Moved fabrication to top level
* Removed unnecessary user fabrications
* Added a trust level 2 user at the top level
* Factored out category
* Made test use generic user
* Prefabricate topic
* Cut down redundant users
* Prefabricated more things
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
This removes all uses of both `send` and `public_send` from consumers of
SiteSetting and instead introduces a `get` helper for dynamic lookup
This leads to much cleaner and safer code long term as we are always explicit
to test that a site setting is really there before sending an arbitrary
string to the class
It also removes a couple of risky stubs from the auth provider test
This change shows a notification number besides the flag icon in the
post menu if there is reviewable content associated with the post.
Additionally, if there is pending stuff to review, the icon has a red
background.
We have also removed the list of links below a post with the flag
status. A reviewer is meant to click the number beside the flag icon to
view the flags. As a consequence of losing those links, we've removed
the ability to undo or ignore flags below a post.
Hidden (staff-only) post actions are whisper posts with no content, that
are later transformed by the client into post actions (discourse-assign
uses this).
After careful analysis of large data-sets it became apparent that avg_time
had no impact whatsoever on "best of" topic scoring. Calculating avg_time
was a very costly operation especially on large databases.
We have some longer term plans of introducing other weighting that is read
time based into our scoring for "best of" and "top" topics, but in the
interim to stop a large amount of work that is not achieving any value we
are removing the jobs.
Column removal will follow once we decide on a new replacement metric.
`Upload#url` is more likely and can change from time to time. When it
does changes, we don't want to have to look through multiple tables to
ensure that the URLs are all up to date. Instead, we simply associate
uploads properly to `UserProfile` so that it does not have to replicate
the URLs in the table.
This is a regression as a result of 7896c74c2b. Most instances would have ran the migrations and some might have run this migration with the incorrect query. Impact of this is small for now but I'm fixing this for correctness purposes.
Minor fixes to add Rails 6 support to Discourse, we now will boot
with RAILS_MASTER=1, all specs pass
Only one tiny deprecation left
Largest change was the way ActiveModel:Errors changed interface a
bit but there is a simple backwards compat way of working it
This change automatically resizes icons for various purposes. Admins can now upload `logo` and `logo_small`, and everything else will be auto-generated. Specific icons can still be uploaded separately if required.
## Core
- Adds an SiteIconManager module which manages automatic resizing and fallback
- Icons are looked up in the OptimizedImage table at runtime, and then cached in Redis. If the resized version is missing for some reason, then most icons will fall back to the original files. Some icons (e.g. PWA Manifest) will return `nil` (because an incorrectly sized icon is worse than a missing icon).
- `SiteSetting.site_large_icon_url` will return the optimized version, including any fallback. `SiteSetting.large_icon` continues to return the upload object. This means that (almost) no changes are required in core/plugins to support this new system.
- Icons are resized whenever a relevant site setting is changed, and during post-deploy migrations
## Wizard
- Allows `requiresRefresh` wizard steps to reload data via AJAX instead of a full page reload
- Add placeholders to the **icons** step of the wizard, which automatically update from the "Square Logo"
- Various copy updates to support the changes
- Remove the "upload-time" resizing for `large_icon`. This is no longer required.
## Site Settings UX
- Move logo/icon settings under a new "Branding" tab
- Various copy changes to support the changes
- Adds placeholder support to the `image-uploader` component
- Automatically reloads site settings after saving. This allows setting placeholders to change based on changes to other settings
- Upload site settings will be assigned a placeholder if SiteIconManager `responds_to?` an icon of the same name
## Dashboard Warnings
- Remove PWA icon and PWA title warnings. Both are now handled automatically.
## Bonus
- Updated the sketch logos to use @awesomerobot's new high-res designs
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
We had quite a few cases in core where inputs are being mutated as a side
effect of calling a method.
This handles all the cases where specs caught this.
Mutating inputs makes code harder to reason about. Eg:
```
frog = "frog"
jump(frog)
puts frog
"fly" # ?????
```
This commit is part of a followup commit that adds # frozen_string_literal
to all our specs.
If a tag group is set to only be visible to staff, and is restricted
to a category that is visible by everyone, the tags in the group were
being shown on the /tags page. They weren't visible anywhere else.
This commit fixes it so they don't show on the /tags page.
This test failed IF this category id number 3 was fabricated to start with
at the top of the test.
This is very likely if the test is run on a blank DB
Previous behaviour was to silently remove tags that
belonged to a group with a parent tag that was missing.
The "required parent tag" feature is meant to guide people
to use the correct tags and show scoped results in the tag
input field, and to help create topic lists of related
tags. It isn't meant to be a strict requirement in the
composer that should trigger errors or restrictions.
This is for backwards compatibility purposes. Even if `Upload#url` has a
format that we don't recognize, we should still return the upload object
as long as the upload record is present.
This test of `prevent_anons_from_downloading_files` was testing an image instead of an attachment and it was testing the wrong upload URL. I fixed the test, but with `config.public_file_server.enabled = true` on the test environment, this will always fail, as preventing anonymous file downloads depends on nginx. So, I marked the test as skipped, for now.
* DEV: Replace site_setting_saved DiscourseEvent with site_setting_changed
site_setting_saved is confusing for a few reasons:
- It is attached to the after_save of the ActiveRecord model. This is confusing because it only works 'properly' with the db_provider
- It passes the activerecord model as a parameter, which is confusing because you get access to the 'database' version of the setting, rather than the ruby setting. For example, booleans appear as 'y' or 'n' strings.
- When the event is called, the local process cache has not yet been updated. So if you call SiteSetting.setting_name inside the event handler, you will receive the old site setting value
I have deprecated that event, and added a new site_setting_changed event. It passes three parameters:
- Setting name (symbol)
- Old value (in ruby format)
- New value (in ruby format)
It is triggered after the setting has been persisted, and the local process cache has been updated.
This commit also includes a test case which describes the confusing behavior. This can be removed once site_setting_saved is removed.
If you turn it on now, default all users to approved since they were
previously. Also support approving a user that doesn't have a reviewable
record (it will be created first.)
This also includes a refactor to move class method calls to
`DiscourseEvent` into an initializer. Otherwise the load order of
classes makes a difference in the test environment and some settings
might be triggered and others not, randomly.
This new site setting determines the maximum age of unread topics in
suggested. By default if you have any unread topics older than 90 days
they will be omitted from suggested.
This change was added for 2 reasons:
1. A performance safeguard, some users tend to collect a huge amount of
read state so it becomes super expensive to find unread
2. People who collect a large amount of unread are much more interested in
recent unread topics vs ancient unread topics, this makes suggested more
relevant
Also, this is a minor speed up for tests cause 3 expensive tests became 1.
Theme developers can include any number of scss files within the /scss/ directory of a theme. These can then be imported from the main common/desktop/mobile scss.
* FIX: correctly retrieve 'login required' setting value on wizard
FEATURE: extract 'invite only' setting in a separate checkbox control
* Update invite_only checkbox locale on wizard.

The compress brotli functionality is no longer optional, this has worked
well for years. The name of the ENV var is also confusing cause it does
not have a `DISCOURSE_` prefix which caused issues with the web upgrader
Brotli support is now unconditionally on
Previously jobs would fail silently in test mode. Now they will raise the exception and cause the relevant test to fail. This identified a few broken tests, which I will fix in a followup commit
- Plugin developers using OpenID2.0 should migrate to OAuth2 or OIDC. OpenID2.0 APIs will be removed in v2.4.0
- For sites requiring Yahoo login, it can be implemented using the OpenID Connect plugin: https://meta.discourse.org/t/103632
For more information, see https://meta.discourse.org/t/113249
In certain edge cases, the message bus won't send the message to the
user about the updated review count and it can go out of sync.
This patch synchronizes the review count every time:
1. The user visits the "Needs Review" page
2. Every time the user performs an action
This optimisation avoids large scans joining the topics table with the
topic_users table.
Previously when a user carried a lot of read state we would have to join
the entire read state with the topics table. This operation would slow down
home page and every topic page. The more read state you accumulated the
larger the impact.
The optimisation helps people who clean up unread, however if you carry
unread from years ago it will only have minimal impact.
