What is the problem here?
In multiple controllers, we are accepting a `limit` params but do not
impose any upper bound on the values being accepted. Without an upper
bound, we may be allowing arbituary users from generating DB queries
which may end up exhausing the resources on the server.
What is the fix here?
A new `fetch_limit_from_params` helper method is introduced in
`ApplicationController` that can be used by controller actions to safely
get the limit from the params as a default limit and maximum limit has
to be set. When an invalid limit params is encountered, the server will
respond with the 400 response code.
Similar spirit to e195e6f614,
this moves the Bookmarkable registration to DiscoursePluginRegistry
so plugins which are not enabled do not register additional
bookmarkable classes.
* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
Before, whispers were only available for staff members.
Config has been changed to allow to configure privileged groups with access to whispers. Post migration was added to move from the old setting into the new one.
I considered having a boolean column `whisperer` on user model similar to `admin/moderator` for performance reason. Finally, I decided to keep looking for groups as queries are only done for current user and didn't notice any N+1 queries.
This commit migrates all bookmarks to be polymorphic (using the
bookmarkable_id and bookmarkable_type) columns. It also deletes
all the old code guarded behind the use_polymorphic_bookmarks setting
and changes that setting to true for all sites and by default for
the sake of plugins.
No data is deleted in the migrations, the old post_id and for_topic
columns for bookmarks will be dropped later on.
A bit of a mixed bag, this addresses several edge areas of bookmarks and makes them compatible with polymorphic bookmarks (hidden behind the `use_polymorphic_bookmarks` site setting). The main ones are:
* ExportUserArchive compatibility
* SyncTopicUserBookmarked job compatibility
* Sending different notifications for the bookmark reminders based on the bookmarkable type
* Import scripts compatibility
* BookmarkReminderNotificationHandler compatibility
This PR also refactors the `register_bookmarkable` API so it accepts a class descended from a `BaseBookmarkable` class instead. This was done because we kept having to add more and more lambdas/properties inline and it was very messy, so a factory pattern is cleaner. The classes can be tested independently as well.
Some later PRs will address some other areas like the discourse narrative bot, advanced search, reports, and the .ics endpoint for bookmarks.
This pull request follows on from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/16308. This one does the following:
* Changes `BookmarkQuery` to allow for querying more than just Post and Topic bookmarkables
* Introduces a `Bookmark.register_bookmarkable` method which requires a model, serializer, fields and preload includes for searching. These registered `Bookmarkable` types are then used when validating new bookmarks, and also when determining which serializer to use for the bookmark list. The `Post` and `Topic` bookmarkables are registered by default.
* Adds new specific types for Post and Topic bookmark serializers along with preloading of associations in `UserBookmarkList`
* Changes to the user bookmark list template to allow for more generic bookmarkable types alongside the Post and Topic ones which need to display in a particular way
All of these changes are gated behind the `use_polymorphic_bookmarks` site setting, apart from the .hbs changes where I have updated the original `UserBookmarkSerializer` with some stub methods.
Following this PR will be several plugin PRs (for assign, chat, encrypt) that will register their own bookmarkable types or otherwise alter the bookmark serializers in their own way, also gated behind `use_polymorphic_bookmarks`.
This commit also removes `BookmarkQuery.preloaded_custom_fields` and the functionality surrounding it. It was added in 0cd502a558 but only used by one plugin (discourse-assign) where it has since been removed, and is now used by no plugins. We don't need it anymore.
It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
Instead of going to the OP of the topic for topic-level bookmarks
(which are bookmarks where for_topic is true) when clicking on the
bookmark in the quick access menu or on the user bookmark list,
this commit takes the user to the last unread post in
the topic instead. This should be generally more useful than landing
on the unchanging OP.
To make this work nicely, I needed to add the last_read_post_number to
the BookmarkQuery based on the TopicUser association. It should not add
too much extra weight to the query, because it is limited to the user
that we are fetching bookmarks for.
Also fixed an issue where the bookmark serializer highest_post_number was
not taking into account whether the user was staff, which is when we
should use highest_staff_post_number instead.
We don't actually use the reminder_type for bookmarks anywhere;
we are just storing it. It has no bearing on the UI. It used
to be relevant with the at_desktop bookmark reminders (see
fa572d3a7a)
This commit marks the column as readonly, ignores it, and removes
the index, and it will be dropped in a later PR. Some plugins
are relying on reminder_type partially so some stubs have been
left in place to avoid errors.
We don't need no stinkin' denormalization! This commit ignores
the topic_id column on bookmarks, to be deleted at a later date.
We don't really need this column and it's better to rely on the
post.topic_id as the canonical topic_id for bookmarks, then we
don't need to remember to update both columns if the bookmarked
post moves to another topic.
Users can now pin bookmarks from their bookmark list. This will anchor the bookmark to the top of the list, and show a pin icon next to it. This also applies in the nav bookmarks panel. If there are multiple pinned bookmarks they sort by last updated order.
* Remove unneeded bookmark name index.
* Change bookmark search query to use post_search_data. This allows searching on topic title and post content
* Tweak the style/layout of the bookmark list so the search looks better and the whole page fits better on mobile.
* When hovering over the bookmark icon for a post, show the name of the bookmark at the end of the tooltip _if_ it has been set.
* Order bookmarks by `updated_at DESC` in the user list and show that instead of created at.
* Preload custom fields for BookmarkQuery and add preload callback. Copy TopicQuery preload methodology to allow plugins to preload data for the BookmarkQuery. This fixes assigned plugin custom fields N1
* Include topic tags in initial query to avoid tags N1
