After deleting a category, we should soft-delete the category definition topic instead of hard deleting it. Else it causes issues while doing the user merge action if the source user has an orphan post that belongs to the deleted topic.
When configured, all topics in the category inherits the slow mode
duration from the category's default.
Note that currently there is no way to remove the slow mode from the
topics once it has been set.
Profiling showed that we were roughly 10% of a request time creating all
the ActiveRecord objects for categories in the `Site` model on a site with 61 categories.
Instead of querying for the categories each time based on which categories the user can see,
we can just preload all of the categories upfront and filter out the
categories that the user can not see.
This PR adds a new category setting which is a column in the `categories` table, `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post`.
What this does is:
* Inside the `can_edit_post?` method of `PostGuardian`, if the current user editing a post is the owner of the post, it is the first post, and the topic's category has `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post`, then we bypass the check for `LimitedEdit#edit_time_limit_expired?` on that post.
* Also, similar to wiki topics, in `PostActionNotifier#after_create_post_revision` we send a notification to all users watching a topic when the OP is edited in a topic with the category setting `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post` enabled.
This is useful for forums where there is a Marketplace or similar category, where topics are created and then updated indefinitely by the OP rather than the OP making new topics or additional replies. In a way this acts similar to a wiki that only one person can edit.
On category create an exception will be thrown on this job because the
save transaction hasn't completed yet and the job cannot find the
category id. To prevent this we can use the rails 6 `after_save_commit`
hook that will fire after the category save transaction has finished for
both update and create actions.
DEV: Replace instances of Discourse.base_uri with Discourse.base_path
This is clearer because the base_uri is actually just a path prefix. This continues the work started in 555f467.
Previously, moving a category into another one, that already had a child category of that name (but with a non-conflicting slug) would cause a 500 error:
```
# PG::UniqueViolation:
# ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "unique_index_categories_on_name"
# DETAIL: Key (COALESCE(parent_category_id, '-1'::integer), name)=(5662, Amazing Category 0) already exists.
```
It now returns 422, and shows the same message as when you're renaming a category: "Category Name has already been taken".
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
* FEATURE: add category banner for why a user cannot post
Adds a category banner for why a user is unable to post in a category.
Also adds an extra alert for the user when a user is unable to create a topic in a
category and they still try and click on the disabled-looking new topic
button.
Previously, categories without any topics were being excluded from the UPDATE query. This means the counter gets stuck, and the category cannot be deleted. This change ensures that the counters get correctly set to zero.
- Using h4 instead of h3 for sub-categories.
- Show category description if it does not have subcategories.
- Implemented equivalent for mobile-view.
- Include description_excerpt in basic serializer. This is needed for
displaying second-level categories in category list.
