Privacy Policy and Terms of Service topics are no longer created by
default for communities that have not set a company name. For this
reason, some URLs were pointing to 404 page.
What is this change required?
I noticed that actions in `SidebarSectionsController` resulted in
lots of N+1 queries problem and I wanted a solution to
prevent such problems without having to write N+1 queries tests. I have
also used strict loading for `SidebarSection` queries in performance
sensitive spots.
Note that in this commit, I have also set `config.active_record.action_on_strict_loading_violation = :log`
for the production environment so that we have more visibility of
potential N+1 queries problem in the logs. In development and test
environment, we're sticking with the default of raising an error.
This commit makes some fundamental changes to how hashtag cooking and
icon generation works in the new experimental hashtag autocomplete mode.
Previously we cooked the appropriate SVG icon with the cooked hashtag,
though this has proved inflexible especially for theming purposes.
Instead, we now cook a data-ID attribute with the hashtag and add a new
span as an icon placeholder. This is replaced on the client side with an
icon (or a square span in the case of categories) on the client side via
the decorateCooked API for posts and chat messages.
This client side logic uses the generated hashtag, category, and channel
CSS classes added in a previous commit.
This is missing changes to the sidebar to use the new generated CSS
classes and also colors and the split square for categories in the
hashtag autocomplete menu -- I will tackle this in a separate PR so it
is clearer.
Watched words were converted to regular expressions containing \W, which
handled only ASCII characters. Using [^[:word]] instead ensures that
UTF-8 characters are also handled correctly.

* DEV: move sidebar community section to database
Before, community section was hard-coded. In the future, we are planning to allow admins to edit it. Therefore, it has to be moved to database to `custom_sections` table.
Few steps and simplifications has to be made:
- custom section was hidden behind `enable_custom_sidebar_sections` feature flag. It has to be deleted so all forums, see community section;
- migration to add `section_type` column to sidebar section to show it is a special type;
- migration to add `segment` column to sidebar links to determine if link should be displayed in primary section or in more section;
- simplify more section to have one level only (secondary section links are merged);
- ensure that links like `everything` are correctly tracking state;
- make user an anonymous links position consistence. For example, from now on `faq` link for user and anonymous is visible in more tab;
- delete old community-section template.

The `flair_group_id` parameter is now required to show the flair, and this serializer was missing that detail.
This also fixes a typo in the `include_flair_group_name?` method.
We call the `/u/search/users` URL when autocompleting users. It returns
user's name, username and avatar template, but not user ID.
We need it to return user IDs in order to display user status in certain situations.
I could add ID to FoundUserWithStatusSerializer, so it will be added only if
user status is enabled in site settings. But I feel that it's good to always return it,
it's not a lot of data comparing to what we already return, and it should be useful
in other scenarios.
The value field of ThemeField is only used when viewing a diff in the staff action logs and local theme editing. value is being serialized into the theme index as well, which is not used. It's a huge amount of JSON that we can cut by removing it.
This also breaks up the various theme serializers into separate classes so they autoload properly (or at least restart the server on edit)
This feature will allow sites to define which emoji are not allowed. Emoji in this list should be excluded from the set we show in the core emoji picker used in the composer for posts when emoji are enabled. And they should not be allowed to be chosen to be added to messages or as reactions in chat.
This feature prevents denied emoji from appearing in the following scenarios:
- topic title and page title
- private messages (topic title and body)
- inserting emojis into a chat
- reacting to chat messages
- using the emoji picker (composer, user status etc)
- using search within emoji picker
It also takes into account the various ways that emojis can be accessed, such as:
- emoji autocomplete suggestions
- emoji favourites (auto populates when adding to emoji deny list for example)
- emoji inline translations
- emoji skintones (ie. for certain hand gestures)
Previously, public custom sections were only visible to logged-in users. In this PR, we are making them visible to anonymous as well.
The reason is that Community Section will be moved into custom section model to be easily editable by admins.
This corrects two issues:
1. We were double serializing topic tracking state (as_json calls were not cached)
2. We were inefficiently serializing items by instantiating extra objects
Currently the auto-bump cooldown is hard-coded to 24 hours.
This change makes the highlighted 24 hours part configurable (defaulting to 24 hours), and the rest of the process remains the same.
This uses the new CategorySetting model associated with Category. We decided to add this because we want to move away from custom fields due to the lack of type casting and validations, but we want to keep the loading of these optional as they are not needed for almost all of the flows.
Category settings will be back-filled to all categories as part of this change, and creating a new category will now also create a category setting.
What is the problem?
We have a hidden site setting `show_category_definitions_in_topic_lists`
which is set to false by default. What this means is that category
definition topics are not shown in the topic list by default. Only the
category definition topic for the category being viewed will be shown.
However, we have a bug where we would show that a category has new
topics when a new child category along with its category definition
topic is created even though the topic list does not list the child
category's category definition topic.
What is the fix here?
This commit fixes the problem by shipping down an additional
`is_category_topic` attribute in `TopicTrackingStateItemSerializer` when
the `show_category_definitions_in_topic_lists` site setting has been set
to false. With the new attribute, we can then exclude counting child
categories' category definition topics when counting new and unread
counts for a category.

Not eager loading was resulting in the N+1 queries problem when
serializing with the `CurrentUserSerializer` as
`CurrentUserSerializer#sidebar_sections` serializes the sections with
`SidebarSectionSerializer` which fetches all the `SidebarUrl` records
for each `SidebarSection` record.
This commit introduces a few experimental changes to the New topics list and "Everything" link in the sidebar:
1. Make the New topics list include unread topics
2. Make the Everything section in the sidebar link to the New topics list (`/new`)
3. Remove "unread" or "new" text next to the count and keep the count
4. The count is a sum of new and unread topics counts
All of these of changes are behind an off-by-default feature flag. I've not written extensive tests for these changes because they're highly experimental.
Internal topic: t/77234.
This commit removes all references to the
`redesigned_user_page_nav_enabled` which was used as a feature flag for
developing the new user profile navigation menu previously.
With the introduction of the sidebar navigation menu, the design team at
Discourse redesigned the user profile navigation to better coexist with
the sidebar.
What does this change do?
This commit the client to override the navigation menu setting
configured by the site temporarily based on the value of the
`navigation_menu` query param. The new query param replaces the old
`enable_sidebar` query param.
Why do we need this change?
The motivation here is to allow theme maintainers to quickly preview
what the site will look like with the various navigation menu site
setting.
The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
Remove the per user groups based site setting in favor of a global site setting as we want to roll the glimmer topic timeline out to anon users as well as site users.
- Add `enable_experimental_topic_timeline` site setting
- Remove `enable_experimental_topic_timeline_groups` site setting
Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
## Why do we need this change?
When loading the ember app, [MessageBus does not start polling immediately](f31f0b70f8/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/initializers/message-bus.js (L71-L81)) and instead waits for `document.readyState` to be `complete`. What this means is that if there are new messages being created while we have yet to start polling, those messages will not be received by the client.
With sidebar being the default navigation menu, the counts derived from `topic-tracking-state.js` on the client side is prominently displayed on every page. Therefore, we want to ensure that we are not dropping any messages on the channels that `topic-tracking-state.js` subscribes to.
## What does this change do?
This includes the `MessageBus.last_id`s for the MessageBus channels which `topic-tracking-state.js` subscribes to as part of the preloaded data when loading a page. The last ids are then used when we subscribe the MessageBus channels so that messages which are published before MessageBus starts polling will not be missed.
## Review Notes
1. See https://github.com/discourse/message_bus#client-support for documentation about subscribing from a given message id.
When we introduce new color scheme colors, they are not immediately persisted to the database for all color schemes. Previously, this meant that they would be unavailable in the admin UI for editing. The only way to work with the new colors was to create a new color scheme.
This commit updates the serializer so that all colors are serialized, even if they are not yet persisted to the database for the current scheme. This means that they now show up in the admin UI and can be edited.
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information.
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope.
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.
Prior to this change, we were parsing `Post#cooked` every time we
serialize a post to extract the usernames of mentioned users in the
post. However, the only reason we have to do this is to support
displaying a user's status beside each mention in a post on the client side when
the `enable_user_status` site setting is enabled. When
`enable_user_status` is disabled, we should avoid having to parse
`Post#cooked` since there is no point in doing so.
These accidental inclusions are mostly no-ops (because the method name is also included as an explicit symbol). The mistakes were made more obvious because syntax_tree adjusted the indentation of these methods
Links to category settings were created using the category name. If the name was a single word, the link would be valid (regardless of capitalization).
For example, if the category was named `Awesome`
`/c/Awesome/edit/settings`
is a valid URL as that is a case-insensitive match for the category slug of `awesome`.
However, if the category had a space in it, the URL would be
`/c/Awesome%20Name/edit/settings`
which does not match the slug of `awesome-name`.
This change uses the category slug, rather than the name, which is the expected behaviour (see `Category.find_by_slug_path`).
We show live user status on mentions starting from a76d864. But status didn’t appear on the post that appears on the bottom of the topic just after a user posted it (status appeared only after page reloading). This adds status to just posted posts.
Note this is a very large PR, and some of it could have been splited, but keeping it one chunk made it to merge conflicts and to revert if necessary. Actual new code logic is also not that much, as most of the changes are removing js tests, adding system specs or moving things around.
To make it possible this commit is doing the following changes:
- converting (and adding new) existing js acceptances tests into system tests. This change was necessary to ensure as little regressions as possible while changing paradigm
- moving away from store. Using glimmer and tracked properties requires to have class objects everywhere and as a result works well with models. However store/adapters are suffering from many bugs and limitations. As a workaround the `chat-api` and `chat-channels-manager` are an answer to this problem by encapsulating backend calls and frontend storage logic; while still using js models.
- dropping `appEvents` as much as possible. Using tracked properties and a better local storage of channel models, allows to be much more reactive and doesn’t require arbitrary manual updates everywhere in the app.
- while working on replacing store, the existing work of a chat api (backend) has been continued to support more cases.
- removing code from the `chat` service to separate concerns, `chat-subscriptions-manager` and `chat-channels-manager`, being the largest examples of where the code has been rewritten/moved.
Future wok:
- improve behavior when closing/deleting a channel, it's already slightly buggy on live, it's rare enough that it's not a big issue, but should be improved
- improve page objects used in chat
- move more endpoints to the API
- finish temporarily skipped tests
- extract more code from the `chat` service
- use glimmer for `chat-messages`
- separate concerns in `chat-live-pane`
- eventually add js tests for `chat-api`, `chat-channels-manager` and `chat-subscriptions-manager`, they are indirectly heavy tested through system tests but it would be nice to at least test the public API
