This commit adds a new `about_page_hidden_groups` setting to exclude members of specific groups from the admin and moderator lists on the /about page.
Internal topic: t/137717.
### UI changes
All of the UI changes described are gated behind the `use_legacy_pageviews`
site setting.
This commit changes the admin dashboard pageviews report to
use the "Consolidated Pageviews with Browser Detection" report
introduced in 2f2da72747 with
the following changes:
* The report name is changed to "Site traffic"
* The pageview count on the dashboard is counting only using the new method
* The old "Consolidated Pageviews" report is renamed as "Consolidated Legacy Pageviews"
* By default "known crawlers" and "other" sources of pageviews are hidden on the report
When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `true`, we do not show or allow running
the "Site traffic" report for admins. When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `false`,
we do not show or allow running the following legacy reports:
* consolidated_page_views
* consolidated_page_views_browser_detection
* page_view_anon_reqs
* page_view_logged_in_reqs
### Historical data changes
Also part of this change is that, since we introduced our new "Consolidated
Pageviews with Browser Detection" report, some admins are confused at either:
* The lack of data before a certain date , which didn’t exist before
we started collecting it
* Comparing this and the current "Consolidated Pageviews" report data,
which rolls up "Other Pageviews" into "Anonymous Browser" and so it
appears inaccurate
All pageview data in the new report before the date where the _first_
anon or logged in browser pageview was recorded is now hidden.
These settings are misleading since plugins and themes
and theme components can rearrange and add buttons to
the post menu. Better to indicate this in the setting
description.
This commit introduces a new hidden site setting: `group_pm_user_limit`, default to `1000` which will raise an error when attempting to create a PM target a large group.
This commit adds a description for all the auto groups
which will be shown in the group list and show group
pages, which will help admins understand their purpose
better.
Also adds an indicator with a tooltip to explain what
the auto groups are on the group show page.
This commit implements 2 new metrics/stats in the /about page for the _estimated_ numbers of unique visitors from the EU and the rest of the world. This new feature is currently off by default, but it can be enabled by turning on the hidden `display_eu_visitor_stats` site settings via the rails console.
There are a number of assumptions that we're making here in order to estimate the number of unique visitors, specifically:
1. we're assuming that the average of page views per anonymous visitor is similar to the average number of page views that a logged-in visitor makes, and
2. we're assuming that the ratio of logged in visitors from the EU is similar to the ratio of anonymous visitors from the EU
Discourse keeps track of the number of both logged-in and anonymous page views, and also the number of unique logged-in visitors and where they're from. So with those numbers and the assumptions above, we can estimate the number of unique anonymous visitors from the EU and the rest of the world.

* DEV: Removal of create_post_for_category_and_tag_changes setting
reverting commit: #65f35e1
and adding a migration to remove the setting
ref: t/132320
* DEV: change checks for zeros to check for nils
* DEV: remove create_post_for_category_and_tag_changes migration file
If anything goes wrong, we can always revert back to the previous state.
Currently to handle stub topics after merging, there are only options to (1) never delete a stub topic and (2) delete a stub topic after X amount of days. This adds the option to immediately delete a stub topic upon merge.

This commit promotes the new topic bulk action
menu introduced in 89883b2f51
to the main method of bulk selecting and performing
actions on topics. The site setting flag gating this
feature is deleted, and the old bulk select code is
deleted as well.
The new modal shows a loading spinner while operations
are taking place, allows selecting the action from a dropdown
instead of having a 2-step modal flow,
and also supports additional options for some operations, e.g.
allowing Close silently.

The linked commit allowed oneboxing private GitHub PRs,
issues, commits, and so on, but it didn't actually allow
oneboxing the root repo e.g https://github.com/discourse/discourse-reactions
We didn't have an engine for this, we were relying on OpenGraph
tags on the HTML rendering of the page like we do with other
oneboxes.
To fix this, we needed a new github engine for repos specifically.
Also, this commit adds a `data-github-private-repo` attribute to
PR, issue, and repo onebox HTML so we have an indicator of
whether the repo was private, which can be used for theme components
and so on.
Originally in 964da21817
we hid the SMTPAuthenticationError message except in
very specific cases. However this message often contains
helpful information from the mail provider, for example
here is a response from Office365:
> 535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, user is locked by your
organization's security defaults policy. Contact your administrator.
So, we will show the error message in the modal UI instead
of supressing it with a generic message to be more helpful.
The OutOfDateThemes problem check is using an old method of setting the message, by overriding #message. It should instead use #translation_keys. (By chance I noticed the same thing applies to UnreachableThemes.

GitHub auth tokens cannot be made with permissions to
access multiple organisations. This is quite limiting.
This commit changes the site setting to be a "secret list"
type, which allows for a key/value mapping where the value
is treated like a password in the UI.
Now when a GitHub URL is requested for oneboxing, the
org name from the URL is used to determine which token
to use for the request.
Just in case anyone used the old site setting already,
there is a migration to create a `default` entry
with that token in the new list setting, and for
a period of time we will consider that token valid to
use for all GitHub oneboxes as well.
Before Rails 7.1, the `config.i18n.raise_on_missing_translations` option
was raising only in controllers and views, now it’s anywhere in the app.
It means it raises each time `#description` is called for a setting that
is missing a proper description (and we have a ton of them). Most of the
time it’s fine, as those are usually settings that aren’t shown to the
user.
We can’t just let the code blow up every time there’s a setting with a
missing description, that’s why it’s currently returning an empty
string when the translation is missing.
However, this silently broke our I18n integrity spec that was relying on
the old “Translation missing” message to detect missing translations.
This patch addresses this issue by checking the description isn’t an
empty string. It caught a missing translation by the way.
This change how we present attachments from incoming emails to now be "hidden" in a "[details]" so they don't "hang" at the end of the post.
This is especially useful when using Discourse as a support tool where email is the main communication channel. For various reasons, images are often duplicated by email user agents, and hiding them behind the details block help keep the conversation focused on the isssue at hand.

This commit adds the ability to onebox private GitHub
commits, pull requests, issues, blobs, and actions using
a new `github_onebox_access_token` site setting. The token
must be set up in correctly to have access to the repos needed.
To do this successfully with the Oneboxer, we need to skip
redirects on the github.com host, otherwise we get a 404
on the URL before it is translated into a GitHub API URL
and has the appropriate headers added.
Adds a report to show the top 100 most viewed topics in a date range,
combining logged in and anonymous views. Can be filtered by category.
This is a followup to 527f02e99f
and d1191b7f5f. We are also going to
be able to see this data in a new topic map, but this admin report
helps to see an overview across the forum for a date range.
I am changing many of these to notes or resolving them as is,
most of these I have not actively worked on in years so someone
else can work on them when we get to these areas again.
We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.

made explicit in description that ` default_sidebar_switch_panel_position` admin setting is about the position of the button on the sidebar for switching to chat.
This commit adds ability to fetch a subset of site settings from the `/admin/site_settings` endpoint so that it can be used in all places where the client app needs access to a subset of the site settings.
Additionally, this commit also introduces a new service class called `UpdateSiteSetting` that encapsulates all the logic that surrounds updating a site setting so that it can be used to update site setting(s) anywhere in the backend. This service comes in handy with, for example, the controller for the flags admin config area which may need to update some site settings related to flags.
Internal topic: t/130713.
This commit introduces a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site setting which
replaces the `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site setting.
The reason `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site settings are removed is because this feature has technically been
broken since it was introduced. When the `enable_s3_inventory` feature
is turned on, the app will because configure a daily inventory policy for the
`s3_upload_bucket` bucket and store the inventories under a prefix in
the bucket. The problem here is that once the inventories are created,
there is nothing cleaning up all these inventories so whoever that has
enabled this feature would have been paying the cost of storing a whole
bunch of inventory files which are never used. Given that we have not
received any complains about inventory files inflating S3 storage costs,
we think that it is very likely that this feature is no longer being
used and we are looking to drop support for this feature in the not too
distance future.
For now, we will still support a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site
setting which site administrators can configure via the
`DISCOURSE_S3_INVENTORY_BUCKET` env.
This commit includes various UX improvements to the reset
password page:
* Introduce a `hide-application-header-buttons` helper to do the following:
* Hide Sign Up and Log In buttons, they are not necessary on this flow
* Hide the sidebar, it is a distraction on this flow
* Improve messaging when a 2FA confirmation is required first
* Improve display of server-side ActiveRecord model validation errors
in password form, e.g. instead of "is the same as your current password"
we do "The password is the same as your current password"
* Move password tip to next line below input and move caps lock hint
inline with Show/Hide password toggle
* Add system specs for 2FA flow on reset password page
* Fixes a computed property conflict issue on the password reset
page when toggling 2FA methods
Continued work on moderate flags UI.
In this PR admins are allowed to change the order of flags. The notify user flag is always on top but all other flags can be moved.
This makes it more obvious what's happening, and makes it much less likely that users will send repeated reset emails (and thereby hit the rate limit)

This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This gives us daily fidelity of topic view stats
New table stores a row per topic viewed per day tracking
anonymous and logged on views
We also have a new endpoint `/t/ID/views-stats.json` to get the statistics for the topic.
* FEATURE: add agree and edit
adds agree and edit - an alias for agree and keep -- but with a client action to
edit the post in the composer before the flag is agreed with

This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.
Instead of creating two separate Topics when a user (1) requests to join a group and (2) gets accepted in, this makes the acceptance message into a Post under the origin group request Topic.
(experimental)
The initial implementation of glimmer topic-list and related components. Does not include new APIs and isn't compatible with existing customization. That's gonna come in future PRs.
Enabled by adding groups to `experimental_glimmer_topic_list_groups` setting.
This commit switches `DiscourseIpInfo.mmdb_download` to use the
permalinks supplied by MaxMind to download the MaxMind databases as
specified in
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/updating-databases#directly-downloading-databases
which states:
```
To directly download databases, follow these steps:
1. In the "Download Links" column, click "Get Permalink(s)" for the desired database.
2. Copy the permalink(s) provided in the modal window.
3. Provide your account ID and your license key using Basic Authentication to authenticate.
```
Previously we are downloading from `https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download` but this is not
documented anyway on MaxMind's docs so this URL can in theory break
in the future without warning. Therefore, we are taking a proactive
approach to download the databases from MaxMind the recommended way
instead of relying on a hidden URL. This old way of downloading the
databases with only a license key will be deprecated in 3.3 and be
removed in 3.4.
This keeps coming up in user testing as something
we want to get rid of. The `navigation_menu` setting
has been set to sidebar by default for some time now,
and we are rolling out admin sidebar widely. It just
doesn't make sense to let people turn this off in
the first step of the wizard -- we _want_ people to
use the sidebar.
Our 'page_view_crawler' / 'page_view_anon' metrics are based purely on the User Agent sent by clients. This means that 'badly behaved' bots which are imitating real user agents are counted towards 'anon' page views.
This commit introduces a new method of tracking visitors. When an initial HTML request is made, we assume it is a 'non-browser' request (i.e. a bot). Then, once the JS application has booted, we notify the server to count it as a 'browser' request. This reliance on a JavaScript-capable browser matches up more closely to dedicated analytics systems like Google Analytics.
Existing data collection and graphs are unchanged. Data collected via the new technique is available in a new 'experimental' report.
Made another effort to improve the description of the personal_message_enabled _groups site setting, to clarify who can already create and reply to messages no matter which groups are specified in this setting.
LinkedIn has grandfathered its old OAuth2 provider. This can only be used by existing apps. New apps have to use the new OIDC provider.
This PR adds a linkedin_oidc provider to core. This will exist alongside the discourse-linkedin-auth plugin, which will be kept for those still using the deprecated provider.
Automatically add `moderators` and `admins` auto groups to specific site settings.
In the new group-based permissions systems, we just want to check the user’s groups since it more accurately reflects reality
Affected settings:
- tag_topic_allowed_groups
- create_tag_allowed_groups
- send_email_messages_allowed_groups
- personal_message_enabled_groups
- here_mention_allowed_groups
- approve_unless_allowed_groups
- approve_new_topics_unless_allowed_groups
- skip_review_media_groups
- email_in_allowed_groups
- create_topic_allowed_groups
- edit_wiki_post_allowed_groups
- edit_post_allowed_groups
- self_wiki_allowed_groups
- flag_post_allowed_groups
- post_links_allowed_groups

- invite_allowed_groups
- ignore_allowed_groups
- user_api_key_allowed_groups
This will automatically enable the glimmer header when all installed themes/plugins are ready. This replaces the old group-based site setting.
In 'auto' mode, we check for calls to deprecated APIs (e.g. decorateWidget) which affect the old header. If any are present, we stick to the old header implementation and print a message to the console alongside the normal deprecation messages.
To override this automatic behavior, a new `glimmer_header_mode` site setting can be set to 'disabled' or 'enabled'.
This change also means that our test suite is running with the glimmer header. This unveiled a couple of small issues (e.g. some incorrect `aria-*` and `alt` text) which are now fixed. A number of selectors had to be updated to ensure the tests were clicking the actual `<button>` elements rather than the surrounding `<li>` elements.
It's mostly fine to use the plural form instead of writing something like "topic(s)" when one or more topics could be meant, but the actual count is not known.
This also removes some unused strings from the locale files.
Adds the new quick menu for bookmarking. When you bookmark
a post (chat message behaviour will come later) we show this new quick
menu and bookmark the item straight away.
You can then choose a reminder quick option, or choose Custom... to open
the old modal. If you click on an existing bookmark, we show the same quick menu
but with Edit and Delete options.
A later PR will introduce a new bookmark modal, but for now we
are using the old modal for Edit and Custom... options.
To remove the Getting Started button manually, you have to disable bootstrap mode by setting bootstrap_mode_min_users to 0. I clarified this in the description for the setting.
When a user is manually deactivated, they should not be deleted by our background job that purges inactive users.
In addition, site settings keywords should accept an array of keywords.
In this PR, all references in the UI to the word "`upgrade`" are changed to "`update`". This is to differentiate the update process in self-hosted sites from the plan "upgrade" process in hosted sites.

* DEV: Various bulk-select dropdown tweaks
- Setting is no longer hidden
- descriptions have been moved to the modal
- Removed ... from one of the dropdown titles
The personal message enabled groups site setting is overridden by the group interaction settings for specifying who is allowed to write to groups. This was not clearly explained in the description here and I think I fixed it!
Why this change?
This is a follow-up to 86b2e3a.
Basically, we want to allow people to select more than 1 group as well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: group` to `type: groups` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: groups`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Groups>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations and switch it to use the `<GroupChooser>` component
instead of the `<ComboBoxComponent>` component which previously only supported
selecting a single group.
When a topic fails to be created due to the user not having permission to add tags to the topic, the error message that you get is `There was an error tagging the topic` which is very generic and doesn't explain where/what the problem is. This commit adds a clearer error message for this scenario.
Why this change?
This is a follow-up to 86b2e3aa3e.

What does this change do?

When crawlers visit a post-specific URL like `/t/-/{topic-id}/{post-number}`, we use the canonical to direct them to the appropriate crawler-optimised paginated view (e.g. `?page=3`).
However, analysis of google results shows that the post-specific URLs are still being included in the index. Google doesn't tell us exactly why this is happening. However, as a general rule, 'A large portion of the duplicate page's content should be present on the canonical version'.
In our previous implementation, this wasn't 100% true all the time. That's because a request for a post-specific URL would include posts 'surrounding' that post, and won't exactly conform to the page boundaries which are used in the canonical version of the page. Essentially: in some cases, the content of the post-specific pages would include many posts which were not present on the canonical paginated version.
This commit aims to resolve that problem by simplifying the implementation. Instead of rendering posts surrounding the target post_number, we will only render the target post, and include a link to 'show post in topic'. With this new implementation, 100% of the post-specific page content will be present on the canonical paginated version, which will hopefully mean google reduces their indexing of the non-canonical post-specific pages.
To improve performance, we omit the basic-HTML version of pages when users are logged in, or when they are using a modern mobile device. This can be confusing when analysing the SEO of sites, so this commit adds a short static message when content is omitted.
Why this change?
While working on the tag selector for the theme object editor, I
realised that there is an extremely high possibility that users might want to select
more than one tag. By supporting the ability to select more than one
tag, it also means that we get support for a single tag for free as
well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: tag` to `type: tags` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: tags`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Tags>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations
Why this change?
Fortunately or unfortunately in Discourse core, we mainly use `Tag#name`
to look up tags and not its id. This assumption is built into the
frontend as well so we need to use the tag's name instead of the id
here.
