The client-side theme-selector would always apply the first in a series of file change notifications. This has been fixed, so it now applies the most recent notification.
Duplicate notifications were being sent because
- The remote_theme autosave was causing every change notification to be doubled
- Color scheme change notifications were being sent every time a theme was uploaded, even if the colors were unchanged
These duplicate notifications have been fixed, and a spec added to ensure it does not regress in future
This change allows themes and components access to theme assets.
This means that inside theme js you can now get the URL for an asset with:
```
settings.theme_uploads.name
```
Theme developers can now add any of the transformed color variables to their color scheme in about.json. For example
```
"color_schemes": {
"Light": {
"primary": "333333",
"secondary": "ffffff",
"primary-low": "ff0000"
}
},
```
would override the primary-low variable when compiling SCSS for the color scheme. The primary-low variable will also be visible in administrator color palette UI.
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.
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`.
Previously theme setting descriptions were defined in the `settings.yml` file like this:
```
setting_name:
default: "My Default Value"
description:
en: "English description"
fr: "French description"
```
This commit allows developers to store the localised descriptions in the theme locale files instead:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
description: Theme Description
settings:
setting_name: "The localised description for setting_name"
```
* 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
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.
This does not serve any technical purpose. It is there to provide a signpost for any user/developer that wants to know what to do with a theme archive.
New `about.json` fields (all optional):
- `authors`: An arbitrary string describing the theme authors
- `theme_version`: An arbitrary string describing the theme version
- `minimum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
- `maximum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
A localized description for a theme can be provided in the language files under the `theme_metadata.description` key
The admin UI has been re-arranged to display this new information, and give more prominence to the remote theme options.
- Themes can supply translation files in a format like `/locales/{locale}.yml`. These files should be valid YAML, with a single top level key equal to the locale being defined. For now these can only be defined using the `discourse_theme` CLI, importing a `.tar.gz`, or from a GIT repository.
- Fallback is handled on a global level (if the locale is not defined in the theme), as well as on individual keys (if some keys are missing from the selected interface language).
- Administrators can override individual keys on a per-theme basis in the /admin/customize/themes user interface.
- Theme developers should access defined translations using the new theme prefix variables:
JavaScript: `I18n.t(themePrefix("my_translation_key"))`
Handlebars: `{{theme-i18n "my_translation_key"}}` or `{{i18n (theme-prefix "my_translation_key")}}`
- To design for backwards compatibility, theme developers can check for the presence of the `themePrefix` variable in JavaScript
- As part of this, the old `{{themeSetting.setting_name}}` syntax is deprecated in favour of `{{theme-setting "setting_name"}}`
* Phase 0 for user-selectable theme components
- Drops `key` column from the `themes` table
- Drops `theme_key` column from the `user_options` table
- Adds `theme_ids` (array of ints default []) column to the `user_options` table and migrates data from `theme_key` to the new column.
- Removes the `default_theme_key` site setting and adds `default_theme_id` instead.
- Replaces `theme_key` cookie with a new one called `theme_ids`
- no longer need Theme.settings_for_client
