Previously when attempting to edit a globally shadowed setting, the
error message was not very helpful, it said "You are not allowed to
change hidden settings". This commit changes the error message to
reflect the actual problem, which is that the setting is shadowed by
a global setting via ENV var.
This patch replaces the parameters provided to a service through
`params` by the contract object.
That way, it allows better consistency when accessing input params. For
example, if you have a service without a contract, to access a
parameter, you need to use `params[:my_parameter]`. But with a contract,
you do this through `contract.my_parameter`. Now, with this patch,
you’ll be able to access it through `params.my_parameter` or
`params[:my_parameter]`.
Some methods have been added to the contract object to better mimic a
Hash. That way, when accessing/using `params`, you don’t have to think
too much about it:
- `params.my_key` is also accessible through `params[:my_key]`.
- `params.my_key = value` can also be done through `params[:my_key] =
value`.
- `#slice` and `#merge` are available.
- `#to_hash` has been implemented, so the contract object will be
automatically cast as a hash by Ruby depending on the context. For
example, with an AR model, you can do this: `user.update(**params)`.
Currently in services, we don’t make a distinction between input
parameters, options and dependencies.
This can lead to user input modifying the service behavior, whereas it
was not the developer intention.
This patch addresses the issue by changing how data is provided to
services:
- `params` is now used to hold all data coming from outside (typically
user input from a controller) and a contract will take its values from
`params`.
- `options` is a new key to provide options to a service. This typically
allows changing a service behavior at runtime. It is, of course,
totally optional.
- `dependencies` is actually anything else provided to the service (like
`guardian`) and available directly from the context object.
The `service_params` helper in controllers has been updated to reflect
those changes, so most of the existing services didn’t need specific
changes.
The options block has the same DSL as contracts, as it’s also based on
`ActiveModel`. There aren’t any validations, though. Here’s an example:
```ruby
options do
attribute :allow_changing_hidden, :boolean, default: false
end
```
And here’s an example of how to call a service with the new keys:
```ruby
MyService.call(params: { key1: value1, … }, options: { my_option: true }, guardian:, …)
```
Currently, when calling a service with its block form, a `#result`
method is automatically created on the caller object. Even if it never
clashed so far, this could happen.
This patch removes that method, and instead use a more classical way of
doing things: the result object is now provided as an argument to the
main block. This means if we need to access the result object in an
outcome block, it will be done like this from now on:
```ruby
MyService.call(params) do |result|
on_success do
# do something with the result object
do_something(result)
end
end
```
In the same vein, this patch introduces the ability to match keys from
the result object in the outcome blocks, like we already do with step
definitions in a service. For example:
```ruby
on_success do |model:, contract:|
do_something(model, contract)
end
```
Instead of
```ruby
on_success do
do_something(result.model, result.contract)
end
```
This patch removes the `with_service` helper from the code base.
Instead, we can pass a block with actions directly to the `.call` method
of a service.
This simplifies how to use services:
- use `.call` without a block to run the service and get its result
object.
- use `.call` with a block of actions to run the service and execute
arbitrary code depending on the service outcome.
It also means a service is now “self-contained” and can be used anywhere
without having to include a helper or whatever.

In certain config areas (like About) we want to be able
to fetch specific site settings by name. In this case,
sometimes we need to be able to fetch hidden settings,
in cases where a config area is still experimental.
Splitting out a different endpoint for this purpose
allows us to be stricter with what we return for config
areas without affecting the main site settings UI, revealing
hidden settings before they are ready.
This commit continues work laid out by ffec8163b0 for the admin config page for the /about page. The last commit set up the user interface, and this one sets up all the wiring needed to make the input fields and save buttons actually work.
Internal topic: t/128544.
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.
Fixes two issues:
- frontend was reloading the page when clicking-to-remove avatar
- backend wasn't allowing resetting the setting by deleting all avatars
This commit makes it so the site settings filter controls and
the list of settings input editors themselves can be used elsewhere
in the admin UI outside of /admin/site_settings
This allows us to provide more targeted groups of settings in different
UI areas where it makes sense to provide them, such as on plugin pages.
You could open a single page for a plugin where you can see information
about that plugin, change settings, and configure it with custom UIs
in the one place.
In future we will do this in "config areas" for other parts of the
admin UI.
Settings that are using the new `file_size_restriction` types like the
`max_image_size_kb` setting need to have their values saved as integers.
This was a recent regression in 00209f03e6
that caused these values to be saved as strings.
This change also removes negatives from the validation regex because
file sizes can't be negative anyways.
Bug report: https://meta.discourse.org/t/289037
As part of #23816, which sought to strip out thousand separators, we also accidentally strip out signs. This is making it impossible to disable some settings which require a -1 to disable. Instead of stripping non-digits, strip anything that isn't a sign or a digit.
Currently, if you set an integer site setting in the admin interface and include thousands separators, you will silently configure the wrong value.
This PR replaces TextField inputs for integer site settings with NumberField. It also cleans the numeric input of any non-digits in the backend in case any separators make it through.

This commit adds 2 new site settings `default_sidebar_link_to_filtered_list` and `default_sidebar_show_count_of_new_items` to control the default values for the navigation menu preferences that were added in the linked commit (`sidebar_link_to_filtered_list` and `sidebar_show_count_of_new_items` respectively).
Communities can use sidebar or header dropdown, therefore navigation menu is a better name settings in 2 places:
- Old user sidebar preferences;
- Site setting about default tags and categories.
Previously, we didn't have a site-wide setting to set the default behavior for user profile visibility and user presence features. But we already have a user preference for that.
The previous sidebar default tags and categories implementation did not
allow for a user to configure their sidebar to have no categories or
tags. This commit changes how the defaults are applied. When a user is being created,
we create the SidebarSectionLink records based on the `default_sidebar_categories` and
`default_sidebar_tags` site settings. SidebarSectionLink records are
only created for categories and tags which the user has visibility on at
the point of user creation.
With this change, we're also adding the ability for admins to apply
changes to the `default_sidebar_categories` and `default_sidebar_tags`
site settings historically when changing their site setting. When a new
category/tag has been added to the default, the new category/tag will be
added to the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the changes historically.
Like wise when a tag/category is removed, the tag/category will be
removed from the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the
changes historically.

Unless we have specified `override = true` in the DeprecatedSettings
class for an old -> new settings map, we should not allow people
to change the old setting in the UI and have it affect the new
setting.
At some point in the past we decided to rename the 'regular' notification state of topics/categories to 'normal'. However, some UI copy was missed when the initial renaming was done so this commit changes the spots that were missed to the new name.
* DEV: Remove HTML setting type and sanitization logic.
We concluded that we don't want settings to contain HTML, so I'm removing the setting type and sanitization logic. Additionally, we no longer allow the global-notice text to contain HTML.
I searched for usages of this setting type in the `all-the-plugins` repo and found none, so I haven't added a migration for existing settings.
* Mark Global notices containing links as HTML Safe.
To add an extra layer of security, we sanitize settings before shipping them to the client. We don't sanitize those that have the "html" type.
The CookedPostProcessor already uses Loofah for sanitization, so I chose to also use it for this. I added it to our gemfile since we installed it as a transitive dependency.
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.
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.
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
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
