The hidden site setting max_drafts_per_user defaults to 10_000 drafts per user.
The longest key should be "topic_<MAX_BIG_INT>" which is 25 characters.
FEATURE: Only approved flags for post counters
* Why was this change necessary?
The counters for flagged posts in the user's profile and user index from
the admin view include flags that were rejected, ignored or pending
review. This introduces unnecessary noise. Also the flagged posts
counter in the user's profile includes custom flags which add further
noise to this signal.
* How does it address the problem?
* Modifying User#flags_received_count to return posts with only approved
standard flags
* Refactoring User#number_of_flagged_posts to alias to
User#flags_received_count
* Updating the flagged post staff counter hyperlink to navigate to a
filtered view of that user's approved flagged posts to maintain
consistency with the counter
* Adding system tests for the profile page to cover the flagged posts
staff counter
In the query generated by `TopicTrackingState.report`, there are two
subqueies being executed. The first subquery fetches all the topics
that are new for a given user while the second subquery fetches all the topics with
unread posts for a given user. For the second subquery, there is a
filter `topics.updated_at >= user_stats.first_unread_at` which is used
as a performance optimisation to reduce the number of rows that PG has
to scan through the `topics` table.
However, we started to notice in production that the PG planner doesn't
always execute the filter first to reduce the number of rows that it has
to scan through. Running the following query in one of our production
instance,

From the execution plan, we can see the most of the time is spent
joining about 42888 rows in the `topics` table to the `topic_users` table.
However, we know that we only have to scan through a
subset of the `topics` table because the user's last unread at is '2023-07-20 11:33:05'.
If we filter the `topics` table with `topics.updated_at >= '2023-07-20 11:33:05'`, this would only
return about 1500 rows.
From our testing in production, the PG planner is able to execute a
better query plan when we avoid the unnecessary joins on `user_stats` just to be
able to get the user's `UserStat#first_unread_at`. Instead, we can just
pass the value of `UserStat#first_unread_at` directly as a query
parameter.

With the new query, PG first does an index scan using the `index_topics_on_updated_at_public` index to filter away most of the topics making the subsequent joins much cheaper. Total query time has been reduced from ~90ms to ~5ms.
This optimisation will mostly affect users with very few/recent unread topics since a large `UserStat#firsts_unread_at` value will still mean scanning through a large portion of the `topics` table.
We currently are accumulating orphaned upload references whenever drafts are deleted.
This change deals with future cases by adding a dependent strategy of delete_all on the Draft#upload_references association. (We don't really need destroy strategy here, since UploadReference is a simple data bag and there are no validations or callbacks on the model.)
It deals with existing cases through a migration that deletes all existing, orphaned draft upload references.
A previous change updated `ReviewableQueuedPost`'s `created_by`
to be consistent with other reviewable types. It assigns
the the creator of the post being queued to `target_created_by` and sets
the `created_by` to the creator of the reviewable itself.
This fix updates some of the `created_by` references missed during the
intial fix.
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.
This is happening because despite the user already existing in the forum, the `SingleSignOnRecord` doesn't exist and "require_activation" is set on the provider, causing us to skip looking for the email, and resulting in us creating a new User then seeing Validation failed: Primary email has already been taken when DiscourseConnect is attempting to make a new account.
Why this change?
In `PostDestroyer#make_previous_post_the_last_one` and
`Topic.reset_highest`, we have a query that looks something like this:
```
SELECT user_id FROM posts
WHERE topic_id = :topic_id AND
deleted_at IS NULL AND
post_type <> 4
#{post_type}
ORDER BY created_at desc
LIMIT 1
```
However, we currently don't have an index that caters directly to this
query. As a result, we have seen this query performing poorly on large
sites if the PG planner ends up using an index that is suboptimal for
the query.
This commit adds an index to the `posts` table on `topic_id` and then
`created_at`. For the query above, PG will be able to do a backwards
index scan efficiently.
Context of this change:
There are two site settings which an admin can configured to set the
default categories and tags that are shown for a new user. `default_navigation_menu_categories`
is used to determine the default categories while
`default_navigation_menu_tags` is used to determine the default tags.
Prior to this change when seeding the defaults, we will filter out the
categories/tags that the user do not have permission to see. However,
this means that when the user does eventually gain permission down the
line, the default categories and tags do not appear.
What does this change do?
With this commit, we have changed it such that all the categories and tags
configured in the `default_navigation_menu_categories` and
`default_navigation_menu_tags` site settings are seeded regardless of
whether the user's visibility of the categories or tags. During
serialization, we will then filter out the categories and tags which the
user does not have visibility of.
These methods were deprecated and marked for removal in 2.6. This change deletes them.
These deprecations use raise_error: true, so the fallbacks are at this point unreachable and can't be used anyway.
Recently we started giving admins a notice in the advice panel when their translations have become outdated due to changes in core. However, we didn't include any additional information.
This PR adds more information about the outdated translation inside the site text edit page, together with an option to dismiss the warning.
Performing a `Delete User`/`Delete and Block User` reviewable actions for a
queued post reviewable from the `review.show` route results in an error
popup even if the action completes successfully.
This happens because unlike other reviewable types, a user delete action
on a queued post reviewable results in the deletion of the reviewable
itself. A subsequent attempt to reload the reviewable record results in
404. The deletion happens as part of the call to `UserDestroyer` which
includes a step for destroying reviewables created by the user being
destroyed. At the root of this is the creator of the queued post
being set as the creator of the reviewable as instead of the system
user.
This change assigns the creator of the reviewable to the system user and
uses the more approapriate `target_created_by` column for the creator of the
post being queued.
Adding a filter without a type parameter has been deprecated for the last three years, and was marked for removal in 2.9.0.
During this time we have had a few deprecation warnings in logs coming from Reports::Bookmarks.
The fallback was to set the type to the name of the filter. This change just passes the type (same as name) explicitly instead, and removes the deprecation fallback.
We have a number of raw comments indicating that certain methods and classes are deprecated and marked for removal. This change turn those comments into deprecation warnings so that we can 1) see them in the logs of our own hosting and 2) give some warning to self hosters.
Why this change?
The `legacy` navigation menu option for the `navigation_menu` site
setting will be removed shortly after the release of Discourse 3.1 in
the first beta release of Discourse 3.2. Therefore, we're adding an
admin dashboard warning to give sites on the `legacy` navigation menu a
heads up.
We recently introduced this advice to admins when some translation overrides are outdated or using unknown interpolation keys:
However we missed the case where the original translation key has been renamed or altogether removed. When this happens they are no longer visible in the admin interface, leading to the confusing situation where we say there are outdated translations, but none are shown.
Because we don't explicitly handle this case, some deleted translations were incorrectly marked as having unknown interpolation keys. (This is because I18n.t will return a string like "Translation missing: foo", which obviously has no interpolation keys inside.)
This change adds an additional status, deprecated for TranslationOverride, and the job that checks them will check for this status first, taking precedence over invalid_interpolation_keys. Since the advice only checks for the outdated and invalid_interpolation_keys statuses, this fixes the problem.
The attribute Reviewable#post_options was deprecated (and replaced by #payload) four years ago, and marked for deletion in 2.9.0. This commit removes it.
Why this change?
Prior to this change, dismissing unreads posts did not publish the
changes across clients for the same user. As a result, users can end up
seeing an unread count being present but saw no topics being loaded when
visiting the `/unread` route.
Simplified query based on SiteSettings to join only relevant user_options rows.
In addition, index was added to 'watched_precedence_over_muted` column in `user_options` table to speed up query
Instead of having to remember every time, just always wait until the
current transaction (if it exists) has committed before clearing any
DistributedCache.
The only exception to this is caches that aren't caching things from
postgres.
This means we have to do the test setup after setting the test
transaction, because doing the test setup involves clearing caches.
Reapplying this - it now doesn't use after_commit if skip_db is set
This PR adds a feature to help admins stay up-to-date with their translations. We already have protections preventing admins from problems when they update their overrides. This change adds some protection in the other direction (where translations change in core due to an upgrade) by creating a notice for admins when defaults have changed.
Terms:
- In the case where Discourse core changes the default translation, the translation override is considered "outdated".
- In the case above where interpolation keys were changed from the ones the override is using, it is considered "invalid".
- If none of the above applies, the override is considered "up to date".
How does it work?
There are a few pieces that makes this work:
- When an admin creates or updates a translation override, we store the original translation at the time of write. (This is used to detect changes later on.)
- There is a background job that runs once every day and checks for outdated and invalid overrides, and marks them as such.
- When there are any outdated or invalid overrides, a notice is shown in admin dashboard with a link to the text customization page.
Known limitations
The link from the dashboard links to the default locale text customization page. Given there might be invalid overrides in multiple languages, I'm not sure what we could do here. Consideration for future improvement.

Follow-up to b27e12445d
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).
Recently, site setting watched_precedence_over_muted was introduced - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22252
In this PR, we are allowing users to override it. The option is only displayed when the user has watched categories and muted tags, or vice versa.
Recently, we added the option for watched tag/categories to take precedence over muted tag/categories. Therefore, `remove_muted_tags` is using `category_users` to check if categories are not watched. There was missing join in CategoryList which was causing an error.
This is the first of a number of PRs aimed at helping admins manage their translation overrides. It simply adds a list of available interpolation keys below the input field when editing an override.
It also includes custom interpolation key.
Why this change?
We are currently not fully satisfied with the current way to edit the
categories and tags that appears in the sidebar where the user is
redirected to the tracking preferences tab in the user's profile causing
the user to lose context of the current page. In addition, the dropdown
to select categories or tags limits the amount of information we can
display.
Since editing or adding a custom categories section is already using a
modal, we have decided to switch editing the categories and tags that
appear in the sidebar to use a modal as well.
This commit removes the `new_edit_sidebar_categories_tags_interface_groups` site setting and
make the modals the default for all users.
Updates the interface for implementing summarization strategies and adds a cache layer to summarize topics once.
The cache stores the final summary and each chunk used to build it, which will be useful when we have to extend or rebuild it.
While we are unable to support OAUTH2 with pop3 (due to upstream dependency ruby/net-pop#16), we are adding the support for mail pollers plugin. Doing so, it would be possible to write a plugin which then uses other ways (microsoft graph sdk for example) to poll emails from a mailbox.
The idea is that a plugin would define a class which inherits from Email::Poller and defines a poll_mailbox static method which returns an array of strings. Then the plugin could call register_mail_poller(<class_name>) to have it registered. All the configuration (oauth2 tokens, email, etc) could be managed by sitesettings defined in the plugin.
This change adds support retroactively updating display names in the new quote format when the user's name is changed. It happens through a background job that is triggered by a callback when a user is saved with a new name.
