This is intended for use by plugins which are building their own topic lists, and want to include PMs alongside regular topics (e.g. discourse-assign). It does not get used directly in core.
Like "default watching" and "default tracking" categories option now the "regular" categories support is added. It will be useful for sites that are muted by default. The user option will be displayed only if `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting is enabled.
This stops sync of tracking state when list is filtered, in the past this
would cause the tracking state to go off wack.
Additionally this introduces an alias for "filter=tracking", called "f=tracking"
This was done cause the term "filter" is used internally in 2 different ways
the main way is for /unread /new filtering.
Trying to also call a query param "filter" causes enormous amounts of
internal pain, this circumvents the issue.
This adds a special filter to topic lists that will filter to tracked and
watched categories.
To use it you can visit:
`https://sitename/?filter=tracked`
`https://sitename/unread?filter=tracked`
and so on
Note, we do not include explicitly tracked and watched topics **outside** of
the tracked categories and tags.
We can consider a `filter=all_tracked` to cover this edge case.
Before this change:
- first full page load would get category defaults defined un cateory settings
- a navigation to a topic and then back to categories list would reset defaut to the ones defined in discovery/topics
This introduces new APIs for obtaining optimized thumbnails for topics. There are a few building blocks required for this:
- Introduces new `image_upload_id` columns on the `posts` and `topics` table. This replaces the old `image_url` column, which means that thumbnails are now restricted to uploads. Hotlinked thumbnails are no longer possible. In normal use (with pull_hotlinked_images enabled), this has no noticeable impact
- A migration attempts to match existing urls to upload records. If a match cannot be found then the posts will be queued for rebake
- Optimized thumbnails are generated during post_process_cooked. If thumbnails are missing when serializing a topic list, then a sidekiq job is queued
- Topic lists and topics now include a `thumbnails` key, which includes all the available images:
```
"thumbnails": [
{
"max_width": null,
"max_height": null,
"url": "//example.com/original-image.png",
"width": 1380,
"height": 1840
},
{
"max_width": 1024,
"max_height": 1024,
"url": "//example.com/optimized-image.png",
"width": 768,
"height": 1024
}
]
```
- Themes can request additional thumbnail sizes by using a modifier in their `about.json` file:
```
"modifiers": {
"topic_thumbnail_sizes": [
[200, 200],
[800, 800]
],
...
```
Remember that these are generated asynchronously, so your theme should include logic to fallback to other available thumbnails if your requested size has not yet been generated
- Two new raw plugin outlets are introduced, to improve the customisability of the topic list. `topic-list-before-columns` and `topic-list-before-link`
We have the `# frozen_string_literal: true` comment on all our
files. This means all string literals are frozen. There is no need
to call #freeze on any literals.
For files with `# frozen_string_literal: true`
```
puts %w{a b}[0].frozen?
=> true
puts "hi".frozen?
=> true
puts "a #{1} b".frozen?
=> true
puts ("a " + "b").frozen?
=> false
puts (-("a " + "b")).frozen?
=> true
```

In some cases CTE caused pathologically bad query plans.
This optimises it so query runs by itself and caches for lifetime
of the topic query object.
This lightweight caching is done cause topic query will often
execute two queries (one for pinned and one for non pinned)
This feature adds the ability to define synonyms for tags, and the ability to merge one tag into another while keeping it as a synonym. For example, tags named "js" and "java-script" can be synonyms of "javascript". When searching and creating topics using synonyms, they will be mapped to the base tag.
Along with this change is a new UI found on each tag's page (for example, `/tags/javascript`) where more information about the tag can be shown. It will list the synonyms, which categories it's restricted to (if any), and which tag groups it belongs to (if tag group names are public on the `/tags` page by enabling the "tags listed by group" setting). Staff users will be able to manage tags in this UI, merge tags, and add/remove synonyms.
Instead of enabling `suppress_from_latest` setting on many categories now we can enable `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting. Then users should opt-in to categories for them to appear in the latest and categories pages.
Also:
Move includes call higher which makes it possible to run all of the
intermediate queries for easier debugging.
Add tests for TagsController with categories in the path.
If we are searching for categories by their slugs, it doesn't make sense
to include subcategories since a slug, by itself, does not necessarily
uniquely identify a subcategory.
Similarly, the empty string as a slug is not a good category identifier.
Doing .pluck(:column).first is a very common pattern in Discourse and in
most cases, a limit cause isn't being added. Instead of adding a limit
clause to all these callsites, this commit adds two new methods to
ActiveRecord::Relation:
pluck_first, equivalent to limit(1).pluck(*columns).first
and pluck_first! which, like other finder methods, raises an exception
when no record is found
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
In some very specific cases (large sites) shared drafts can introduce a
performance hit due to the mechanism used to filter out topics
This avoids the entire process when shared drafts are not enabled
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989) [Undo revert] (#8024)""
This reverts commit 36425eb9f0.
* Fix: Show who read only if the attribute is enabled
* PERF: Precalculate the last post readed by a group member
* Use book-reader icon instear of far-eye
* FIX: update topic groups correctly
* DEV: Tidy up read indicator update on write
* Reenable: "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989)"
This reverts commit 67f5cc1ce8.
* FIX: Read indicator only appears when the group setting is enabled
* Enable or disable read state based on group attribute
* When read state needs to be published, the minimum unread count is calculated in the topic query. This way, we can know if someone reads the last post
* The option can be enabled/disabled from the UI
* The read indicator will live-updated using message bus
* Show read indicator on every post
* The read indicator now shows read count and can be expanded to see user avatars
* Read count gets updated everytime someone reads a message
* Simplify topic-list read indicator logic
* Unsubscribe from message bus on willDestroyElement, removed unnecesarry values from post-menu, and added a comment to explain where does minimum_unread_count comes from
During profiling looking up topic users popped up as a hot path, this
change more than halved the amount of work it does
It reduces object allocations and method calls and avoids repeate translation
of common terms
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
