Now forums can enroll their sites to be showcased in the Discourse [Discover](https://discourse.org/discover) directory. Once they enable the site setting `include_in_discourse_discover` to enroll their forum the `CallDiscourseHub` job will ping the `api.discourse.org/api/discover/enroll` endpoint. Then the Discourse Hub will fetch the basic details from the forum and add it to the review queue. If the site is approved then the forum details will be displayed in the `/discover` page.
Also, remove experimental setting and simply use top_menu for feature detection
This means that when people eventually enable the hot top menu, there will
be topics in it

Previously, problem checks were all added as either class methods or blocks in AdminDashboardData. Another set of class methods were used to add and run problem checks.
As of this PR, problem checks are promoted to first-class citizens. Each problem check receives their own class. This class of course contains the implementation for running the check, but also configuration items like retry strategies (for scheduled checks.)
In addition, the parent class ProblemCheck also serves as a registry for checks. For example we can get a list of all existing check classes through ProblemCheck.checks, or just the ones running on a schedule through ProblemCheck.scheduled.
After this refactor, the task of adding a new check is significantly simplified. You add a class that inherits ProblemCheck, you implement it, add a test, and you're good to go.
Why this change?
Firstly, note that this is not a security commit because this feature is
still in development and should not be used anywhere.
The reason we want to set a limit here is to greatly reduce the
possibility of a DoS attack in the future via `ThemeSetting` where
someone would set an arbituary large json string in
`ThemeSetting#json_value` and causing the server to run out of resources
trying to serialize/deserialize the value.
What does this change do?
Adds an ActiveRecord validation to ensure that the bytesize of the json
string being stored is smaller than or equal to 0.5mb. We believe 0.5mb
is a decent limit for now but we can review the limit in the future if
we believe it is too small.
Why this change?
The logic for validating a theme setting's value and default value was
not consistent as each part of the code would implement its own logic.
This is not ideal as the default value may be validated differently than
when we are setting a new value. Therefore, this commit seeks to
refactor all the validation logic for a theme setting's value into a
single service class.
What does this change do?
Introduce the `ThemeSettingsValidator` service class which holds all the
necessary helper methods required to validate a theme setting's value
When "lazy load categories" is enabled, only the categories present in
the sidebar are preloaded. This is insufficient because the parent
categories are necessary too for the sidebar to be rendered properly.
The strict-dynamic CSP directive is supported in all our target browsers, and makes for a much simpler configuration. Instead of allowlisting paths, we use a per-request nonce to authorize `<script>` tags, and then those scripts are allowed to load additional scripts (or add additional inline scripts) without restriction.
This becomes especially useful when admins want to add external scripts like Google Tag Manager, or advertising scripts, which then go on to load a ton of other scripts.
All script tags introduced via themes will automatically have the nonce attribute applied, so it should be zero-effort for theme developers. Plugins *may* need some changes if they are inserting their own script tags.
This commit introduces a strict-dynamic-based CSP behind an experimental `content_security_policy_strict_dynamic` site setting.
Reactions needs this to be able to filter out likes received
actions, where there is also an associated reaction, since
now most reactions also count as a like.
The `-ping` option significantly speeds up the ImageMagick `identify` command per our testing and the [documentation](https://imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#ping):
> -ping
Efficiently determine these image characteristics: image number, the file name, the width and height of the image, whether the image is colormapped or not, the number of colors in the image, the number of bytes in the image, the format of the image (JPEG, PNM, etc.). Use +ping to ensure accurate image properties.
We already pass the `-ping` option in other places where the `identify` command is used, so it makes sense to use the option everywhere.
Internal topic: t/121431.
This would allow a theme component (or an API call) to reset the bump
date of a topic to a given post's created_at date.
I picked `post_id` as the parameter here because it provides a bit of
extra protection against accidentally resetting the bump date to a date
that doesn't make sense.
When we insert into the hot set we add things with a score of 0
This means that if hot has more than batch size items in it with a score, then the 0s don't get an initial score
This corrects the situation by always ensuring we re-score:
1. batch size high scoring topics
2. (new) batch size recently bumped topics

Removes duplication from LimitedEdit to see who can edit
posts, and also removes the old trust level setting check
since it's no longer necessary.
Also make it so staff can always edit since can_edit_post?
already has a staff escape hatch.
Why this change?
This commit introduces an experimental `type: objects` theme setting
which will allow theme developers to store a collection of objects as
JSON in the database. Currently, the feature is still in development and
this commit is simply setting up the ground work for us to introduce the
feature in smaller pieces.
What does this change do?
1. Adds a `json_value` column as `jsonb` data type to the `theme_settings` table.
2. Adds a `experimental_objects_type_for_theme_settings` site setting to
determine whether `ThemeSetting` records of with the `objects` data
type can be created.
3. Updates `ThemeSettingsManager` to support read/write access from the
`ThemeSettings#json_value` column.
Affects the following settings:
* whispers_allowed_groups
* anonymous_posting_allowed_groups
* personal_message_enabled_groups
* shared_drafts_allowed_groups
* here_mention_allowed_groups
* uploaded_avatars_allowed_groups
* ignore_allowed_groups
This turns off `client: true` for these group-based settings,
because there is no guarantee that the current user gets all
their group memberships serialized to the client. Better to check
server-side first.
Why this change?
This is caused by a regression in
59839e428f, where we stopped saving the
`Theme` object because it was unnecessary. However, it resulted in the
`after_save` callback not being called and hence
`Theme#update_javascript_cache!` not being called. As a result, some
sites were reporting that after runing a theme migration, the defaults
for the theme settings were used instead of the settings overrides
stored in the database.
What does this change do?
Add a call to `Theme#update_javascript_cache!` after running theme
migrations.
This fixes a bug where the sidebar categories would not be loaded when
the categories were lazy loaded because the sidebar uses the preloaded
category list, which was empty.
We just completed the 3.2 release, which marks a good time to drop some previously deprecated columns.
Since the column has been marked in ignored_columns, it has been inaccessible to application code since then. There's a tiny risk that this might break a Data Explorer query, but given the nature of the column, the years of disuse, and the fact that such a breakage wouldn't be critical, we accept it.
1. Don't show visited line for hot filter, it is in random order
2. Don't count likes on non regular posts (eg: whispers / small actions)
3. Don't count participants in non regular posts
1. Serial likers will just like a bunch of posts on the same topic, this will
heavily inflate hot score. To avoid artificial "heat" generated by one user only count
the first like on the topic within the recent_cutoff range per topic
2. When looking at recent topics prefer "unique likers", defer to total likes on
older topics cause we do not have an easy count for unique likers
3. Stop taking 1 off like_count, it is not needed - platforms like reddit
allow you to like own post so they need to remove it.
Why this change?
Returning an array makes it hard to immediately retrieve a setting by
name and makes the retrieval an O(N) operation. By returning an array,
we make it easier for us to lookup a setting by name and retrieval is
O(1) as well.
The `deprecate_column` helper would change its behavior based on the current `Discourse::VERSION`. This means that 'finalizing' a stable release introduces a previously untested behavior change.
Much better to keep it as a deprecation until manual action is taken to introduce the breaking change.
Internal links always notify and add internal connections in topics.
This adds a special feature that lets you append `?silent=true` to a link
to have it excluded from:
1. Notifications - users will not be notified for these links
2. Post links below posts in the UI
This is specifically useful for large reports where adding all these connections
just results in noise.
Running Discourse 3.2 stable under Ember 3 will technically be possible, but is only intended as a short-term migration point. This commit adds an admin warning for sites which are using this configuration, to make it clear that themes and plugins are unlikely to support the configuration.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/287211
We want to exclude the system user from group user counts, since intuitively admins wouldn't include them.
Originally this was accomplished by booting said system user from the groups, but this is causing problems, because the system user needs TL group membership to perform certain tasks.
After this PR, system user is still in the TL groups, but excluded when refreshing the user count.
Some preparatory refactoring as we're working on TL groups for the system user. On User we have a scope #human_users to exclude the system user, DiscoBot, etc. This PR adds the same scope (delegated to User) on Group.
We added support for radar type charts in #24274. However, radar charts work with three variables, meaning we can't display any report that way.
Unfortunately, by adding `:radar` to the `Report#modes` variable, I made them widely available.
Related bug report: https://meta.discourse.org/t/report-radar-graph-uncaught-typeerror/292360
This is a temporary fix to address an issue where the
system user is losing its automatic groups when the server
is running. If any auto groups are provided, and the user is
a system user, then we return true. The system user is admin,
moderator, and TL4, so they usually have all auto groups.
We can remove this when we get to the bottom of why the auto
groups are being deleted.
The old strategy used to load 25 categories at a time, including the
subcategories. The new strategy loads 20 parent categories and at most
5 subcategories for each parent category, for a maximum of 120
categories in total.
- Decrease gravity, we come in too hot prioritizing too many new topics
- Remove all muted topics / categories and tags from the hot list
- Punish topics with zero likes in algorithm
This introduces a new experimental hot sort ordering.
It attempts to float top conversations by first prioritizing a topics with lots of recent activity (likes and users responding)
The schedule that updates hot topics is disabled unless the hidden site setting: `experimental_hot_topics` is enabled.
You can control "decay" with `hot_topic_gravity` and `recency` with `hot_topics_recent_days`
Data is stored in the new `topic_hot_scores` table and you can check it out on the `/hot` route once
enabled.

Previously only Sidekiq was allowed to generate more than one optimized image at the same time per machine. This adds an easy mechanism to allow the same in rake tasks and other tools.
Why this change?
Currently, is it hard to iteratively write a theme settings migrations
because our theme migrations system does not rollback. Therefore, we
want to allow theme developers to be able to write QUnit tests for their
theme migrations files enabling them to iteratively write their theme
migrations.
What does this change do?
1. Update `Theme#baked_js_tests_with_digest` to include all `ThemeField`
records of `ThemeField#target` equal to `migrations`. Note that we do
not include the `settings` and `themePrefix` variables for migration files.
2. Don't minify JavaScript test files becasue it makes debugging in
development hard.
Why this change?
We have been chasing a problem with our flaky system test where the user
is logged out when it should never be.
What does this change do?
1. Logs the request path when lookup a user auth token.
2. Logs the request path and also the current thread's object id in
ActiveRecord query logs.
* FIX: respect creation date when paginating group activity posts
There are scenarios where the chronological order of posts doesn't match the order of their IDs. For instance, when moving the first post from one topic or PM to another, a new post (with a higher ID) will be created, but it will retain the original creation time.
This PR changes the group activity page and endpoint to paginate posts using created_at instead of relying on ID ordering.
Why this change?
Importing theme with the `bundle` params is used mainly by
`discourse_theme` CLI in the development environment. However, we do not
want migrations to automatically run in the development environment
and instead want the developer to be intentional about running theme
migrations. As such, this commit adds support for a
`skip_migrations` param when importing a theme with the `bundle` params.
This commit also adds a `migrated` attribute for migrations theme fields
to indicate whether a migrations theme field has been migrated or not.
The query that is now a subquery could return a long list of category
IDs, which slowed down the query considerably. This improvement reduces
the execution time from over 2 seconds down to about 100ms.
* FEATURE: Cache embed contents in the database
This will be useful for features that rely on the semantic content of topics, like the many AI features

I ran out of time to get this working for that fix,
also here I am making the post.url method have parity
with post.shareUrl in JS, which omits the post number
for the first post.
Currently, the reviewable queue includes ReviewableFlaggedPost with posts that have already been hidden. This allows for such hidden posts to be cleared up by the auto-tool.
Categories will no longer be preloaded when `lazy_load_categories` is
enabled through PreloadStore.
Instead, the list of site categories will continue to be populated
by `Site.updateCategory` as more and more categories are being loaded
from different sources (topic lists, category selectors, etc).
When setting an old TL based site setting in the console e.g.:
SiteSetting.min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore = TrustLevel[3]
We will silently convert this to the corresponding Group::AUTO_GROUP. And vice-versa, when we read the value on the old setting, we will automatically get the lowest trust level corresponding to the lowest auto group for the new setting in the database.
When updating the position of a category, the server correctly updates the position in the database, but the response sent back to the client still contains the old position, causing it to "flip back" in the UI when saving. Only reloading the page will reveal the new, correct value.
The Positionable concern correctly positions the record and updates the database, but we don't assign the new position to the already instantiated model.
This change just assigns self.position after the database update. 😎
Adds an API scope for accessing Logster's routes. This one is a bit
different than routes from core because it is mounted like
```
mount Logster::Web => "/logs"
```
and doesn't have all the route info a traditional rails app/engine does.
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
This commit refactor CategoryList to remove usage of EmberObject,
hopefully make the code more readable and fixes various edge cases with
lazy loaded categories (third level subcategories not being visible,
subcategories not being visible on category page, requesting for more
pages even if the last one did not return any results, etc).
The problems have always been here, but were not visible because a lot
of the processing was handled by the server and then the result was
serialized. With more of these being moved to the client side for the
lazy category loading, the problems became more obvious.
This is v0 of admin sidebar navigation, which moves
all of the top-level admin nav from the top of the page
into a sidebar. This is hidden behind a enable_admin_sidebar_navigation
site setting, and is opt-in for now.
This sidebar is dynamically shown whenever the user enters an
admin route in the UI, and is hidden and replaced with either
the:
* Main forum sidebar
* Chat sidebar
Depending on where they navigate to. For now, custom sections
are not supported in the admin sidebar.
This commit removes the experimental admin sidebar generation rake
task but keeps the experimental sidebar UI for now for further
testing; it just uses the real nav as the default now.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_edit_post site setting to edit_post_allowed_groups.
The old implementation will co-exist for a short period while I update any references in plugins and themes.
Applies the embed_unlisted site setting consistently across topic embeds, including those created via the WP Discourse plugin. Relatedly, adds a embed exception to can_create_unlisted_topic? check. Users creating embedded topics are not always staff.
When `lazy_load_categories` is enabled, the categories are no longer
preloaded in the `Site` object, but instead they are being requested
on a need basis.
The categories page still loaded all categories at once, which was not
ideal for sites with many categories because ti would take a lot of
time to build and parse the response.
This commit adds pagination to the categories page using the LoadMore
helper. As the user scrolls through the categories page, more categories
are requested from the server and appended to the page.
<!-- NOTE: All pull requests should have tests (rspec in Ruby, qunit in JavaScript). If your code does not include test coverage, please include an explanation of why it was omitted. -->
This script preprocesses all uploads within a intermediate DB (output of converters) and uploads those files to S3. It does the same for optimized images. This speeds up migrations when you have to run them multiple times, because you only have to preprocess and upload the files once.
This script is very hacky and mostly undocumented for now. That will change in the future.
A lot of work has been put in the select kits used for selecting
categories: CategorySelector, CategoryChooser, CategoryDrop, however
they still do not work as expected when these selectors already have
values set, because the category were still looked up in the list of
categories stored on the client-side Categrories.list().
This PR fixes that by looking up the categories when the selector is
initialized. This required altering the /categories/find.json endpoint
to accept a list of IDs that need to be looked up. The API is called
using Category.asyncFindByIds on the client-side.
CategorySelector was also updated to receive a list of category IDs as
attribute, instead of the list of categories, because the list of
categories may have not been loaded.
During this development, I noticed that SiteCategorySerializer did not
serializer all fields (such as permission and notification_level)
which are not a property of category, but a property of the relationship
between users and categories. To make this more efficient, the
preload_user_fields! method was implemented that can be used to
preload these attributes for a user and a list of categories.
When rebaking and in various other places for posts, we
run through the uploads and call `update_secure_status` on
each of them.
However, if the secure status didn't change, we were still
calling S3 to change the ACL, which would have been a noop
in many cases and takes ~1 second per call, slowing things
down a lot.
Also, we didn't account for the s3_acls_enabled site setting
being false here, and in the specs doing an assertion
that `Discourse.store.update_ACL` is not called doesn't
work; `Discourse.store` isn't a singleton, it re-initializes
`FileStore::S3Store.new` every single time.
The category drop was rerendered after every category async change
because it updated the categories list. This is not necessary and
categories can be referenced indirectly by ID instead.
This value is included when generating static asset URLs. Updating the value will allow site operators to invalidate all asset urls to recover from configuration issues which may have been cached by CDNs/browsers.
When we check upload security, one of the checks is to
run `access_control_post.with_secure_uploads?`. The problem
here is that the `topic` for the post could be deleted,
which would make the check return `nil` sometimes instead
of false because of safe navigation. We just need to be
more explicit.
Admin can add tag description up to 1000 characters.
Full description is displayed on tag page, however on topic list it is truncated to 80 characters.
Followup to 2443446e62
We introduced video placeholders which prevent preloading
metadata for videos in posts. The structure looks like this
in HTML when the post is cooked:
```
<div class="video-placeholder-container" data-video-src="http://some-url.com/video.mp4" dir="ltr" style="cursor: pointer;">
<div class="video-placeholder-wrapper">
<div class="video-placeholder-overlay">
<svg class="fa d-icon d-icon-play svg-icon svg-string" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<use href="#play"></use>
</svg>
</div>
</div>
</div>
```
However, we did not update the code that links post uploads
to the post via UploadReference, so any videos uploaded since
this change are essentially dangling and liable to be deleted.
This also causes some uploads to be marked secure when they
shouldn't be, because they are not picked up and analysed in the
CookedPostProcessor flow.
The parent category needs to be serialized before the child category
because they are parsed in order. Otherwise the client will not build
the parent-child relationship correctly.
Operate a key at a time, to make it clearer what's going on.
This also fixes a bug where array integer fields would get re-written
even when there wasn't a change.
Array custom fields use separate rows for each value, but whenever we
update an array, we have always destroy the existing rows and create new
ones. Therefore, there's no benefit over using the json type.
This commit adds a new `search_default_sort_order` site setting,
set to "relevance" by default, that controls the default sort order
for the full page /search route.
If the user changes the order in the dropdown on that page, we remember
their preference automatically, and it takes precedence over the site
setting as a default from then on. This way people who prefer e.g.
Latest Post as their default can make it so.
