Googlebot handles no-index headers very elegantly. It advises to leave as many routes as possible open and uses headers for high fidelity rules regarding indexes.
Discourse adds special `x-robot-tags` noindex headers to users, badges, groups, search and tag routes.
Following up on b52143feff we now have it so Googlebot gets special handling.
Rest of the crawlers get a far more aggressive disallow list to protect against excessive crawling.
This is an edge-case of 9fb3629. An admin could set the shared draft category to one where both TL2 and TL3 users have access but only give shared draft access to TL3 users. If something like this happens, we need to make sure that TL2 users won't be able to see them, and they won't be listed on latest.
Before this change, `SharedDrafts` were lazily created when a destination category was selected. We now create it alongside the topic and set the destination to the same shared draft category.
* FEATURE: Allow categroy group moderators to list/unlist topics
If enabled via SiteSettings, a user belonging to a group which has been granted category group moderator privileges should be able to list/unlist topics belonging to the appropraite category.
* FIX: 'false' value was treated as a truthy value
For example, latest.json?no_subcategories=false used to have set
no_subcategories to the string value of 'false', which is not false.
* DEV: Remove dead code
* FIX: Redirect to /none under the right conditions
These conditions are:
- neither /all or /none present
- only for default filter
* FIX: Build correct topic list filter
/none was never added to the topic list filter
* FIX: Do not show count for subcategories if 'none' category
* FIX: preload_key must contain /none if no_subcategories
25563357 moved the logout redirect logic from the client-side to the server-side. Unfortunately the login_required check was lost during the refactoring which meant that non-login-required sites would redirect to `/login` after redirect, and immediately restart the login process. Depending on the SSO implementation, that can make it impossible for users to log out cleanly.
This commit restores the login_required check, and prevents the potential redirect loop.
We should always hide user_id in response when `hide_email_address_taken` setting is enabled. Currently, it can be used to determine if the email was used or not.
This ensures that users are only served cached content in their own language. This commit also refactors to make use of the `Discourse.cache` framework rather than direct redis access
* FEATURE: onebox for local categories
This commit adjusts the category onebox to look more like the category boxes do on the category page.

- Display reason for validation error when logging in via an authenticator
- Fix email validation handling for 'Discourse SSO', and add a spec
Previously, validation errors (e.g. blocked or already-taken emails) would raise a generic error with no useful information.
At the moment, when filtering by group, the directory will unconditionally return the current user at the top of the list. This is quite unexpected, given that the user is deliberately trying to filter the list. This commit makes sure the 'include current user' logic only triggers for unfiltered directories
After the search term is parsed for advanced search filters, the term may
become empty. Later, the same term will be passed to Discourse.route_for
which will raise an ArgumentError.
> URI(nil)
ArgumentError: bad argument (expected URI object or URI string)
* FEATURE: display error if Oneboxing fails due to HTTP error
- display warning if onebox URL is unresolvable
- display warning if attributes are missing
* FEATURE: Use new Instagram oEmbed endpoint if access token is configured
Instagram requires an Access Token to access their oEmbed endpoint. The requirements (from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed/) are as follows:
- a Facebook Developer account, which you can create at developers.facebook.com
- a registered Facebook app
- the oEmbed Product added to the app
- an Access Token
- The Facebook app must be in Live Mode
The generated Access Token, once added to SiteSetting.facebook_app_access_token, will be passed to onebox. Onebox can then use this token to access the oEmbed endpoint to generate a onebox for Instagram.
* DEV: update user agent string
* DEV: don’t do HEAD requests against news.yahoo.com
* DEV: Bump onebox version from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6
* DEV: Avoid re-reading templates
* DEV: Tweaks to onebox mustache templates
* DEV: simplified error message for missing onebox data
* Apply suggestions from code review

Allowing the editing of remote themes has been something Discourse has advised against for some time. This commit removes the ability to edit or upload files to remote themes from Admin > Customize to enforce the recommended practice.
Previously, `/u/by-external/{id}` would only work for 'Discourse SSO' systems. This commit adds a new 'provider' parameter to the URL: `/u/by-external/{provider}/{id}`
This is compatible with all auth methods which have migrated to the 'ManagedAuthenticator' pattern. That includes all core providers, and also popular plugins such as discourse-oauth2-basic and discourse-openid-connect.
The new route is admin-only, since some authenticators use sensitive information like email addresses as the external id.
There are issues around displaying images on published pages when secure media is enabled. This PR temporarily makes it appear as if published pages are enabled if secure media is also enabled.
* FEATURE - allow category group moderators to delete topics
* Allow individual posts to be deleted
* DEV - refactor for new `can_moderate_topic?` method
Users could be silenced or suspended by two staff members at the same time and
would not be aware of it. This commit shows an error message if another penalty
has been applied.
- IgnoredUser records should all now have an expiring_at value. This commit enforces that in the DB, and fixes any corrupt rows
- Changes to the ignored user list are now handled by the `/u/{username}/notification_level` endpoint. This allows setting expiration dates on the ignore. This commit removes the old logic for saving a list of usernames in the user preferences.
- Many specs were calling `IgnoredUser.create`. This commit changes them to use `Fabricate(:ignored_user)` for consistency
This reverts commit e3de45359f.
We need to improve out strategy by adding a cache breaker with this change ... some assets on CDNs and clients may have incorrect CORS headers which can cause stuff to break.
Documenting a few more endpoints so that our api docs can be
automatically generated. Made a couple other minor changes, like
including the "OK" example for our default success response.
* FEATURE: allow category group moderators to edit posts
If the `enable_category_group_moderation` SiteSetting is enabled, posts should be editable by those belonging to the appropraite groups.
Adds a new slow mode for topics that are heating up. Users will have to wait for a period of time before being able to post again.
We store this interval inside the topics table and track the last time a user posted using the last_posted_at datetime in the TopicUser relation.
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-a-users-email/164512 for additional context.
Previously when an admin user changed a user's email we assumed that they would need a password reset too because they likely did not have access to their account. This proved to be incorrect, as there are other reasons a user needs admin to change their email. This PR:
* Changes the admin change email for user flow so the user is sent an email to confirm the change
* We now record who the email change request was requested by
* If the requested by user is admin and not the user we note this in the email sent to the user
* We also make the confirm change email route open to anonymous users, so it can be clicked by the user even if they do not have access to their account. If there is a logged in user we make sure the confirmation matches the current user.
When enable_personal_messages was disabled, moderators could not see
the private messages for the "moderators" group. The link was displayed
on the client side, but the checks on the server side did not allow it.
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".
Error messages for exceeded rate limits and invalid parameters always used the English locale instead of the default locale or the current user's locale.
The download link on the lightbox for images was not downloading the image if the upload was marked secure, because the code in the upload controller route was not respecting the dl=1 param for force download.
This PR fixes this so the download link works for secure images as well as regular ligthboxed images.
Extracted commonly used spec helpers into spec/support/uploads_helpers.rb, removed unused stubs and let definitions. Makes it easier to write new S3-related specs without copy and pasting setup steps from other specs.
This allows administrators to stop automatic redirect to an external authenticator. It only takes effect when there is a single authentication method, and the site is login_required
Since 9e4ed03, moderators can view groups with visibility level set to "Group owners, members and moderators".
This fixes an issue where moderators can see the group in /g but then get a 404 when clicking on individual groups.
This PR removes the user reminder topic timers, because that system has been supplanted and improved by bookmark reminders. The option is removed from the UI and all existing user reminder topic timers are migrated to bookmark reminders.
Migration does this:
* Get all topic_timers with status_type 5 (reminders)
* Gets all bookmarks where the user ID and topic ID match
* Loops through the found topic timers
* If there is no bookmark for the OP of the topic, then we just create a bookmark with a reminder
* If there is a bookmark for the OP of the topic and it does **not** have a reminder set, then just
update it with the topic timer reminder
* If there is a bookmark for the OP of the topic with a reminder then just discard the topic timer
* Cancels all outstanding user reminder topic timers
* **Trashes (not deletes) all user reminder topic timers**
Notes:
* For now I have left the user reminder topic timer job class in place; this is so the jobs can be cancelled in the migration. It and the specs will be deleted in the next PR.
* At a later date I will write a migration to delete all trashed user topic timers. They are not deleted here in case there are data issues and they need to be recovered.
* A future PR will change the UI of the topic timer modal to make it look more like the bookmark modal.
Currently, if a group's visibility is set to "Group owners, members" then the mods can't view those group pages. The same rule is applied for members visibility setting too.
This reverts commit 7fc7090. And fixed the spec test fails.
There is a request spec that was ignored with the `xit` flag almost a
year ago and every time you generate the api docs with
```
rake rswag:specs:swaggerize
```
it shows the output of this pending test and I guess I finally got sick
of looking at it, so here is a fix for it.
Original Commit: d84c34ad75
When a category is removed from `auto_watch_category` we are removing
CategoryUser. However, there are still TopicUser with notification level
set to `watching` which was inherited from Category.
We should move them back to `regular` unless they were modified by a user.
These fields are required when using the UI and if `suspend_until`
params isn't used the user never is actually suspended so we should
require these fields when suspending a user.
This commit is addressing an issue where it is possible that there could
be multiple topic timer jobs running to close a topic or a weird race
condition state causing a topic that was just closed to be re-opened.
By removing the logic from the Topic Timer model into the Topic Timer
controller endpoint we isolate the code that is used for setting an
auto-open or an auto-close timer to just that functionality making the
topic timer background jobs safer if multiple are running.
Possibly in the future if we would like this logic back in the model a
refactor will be needed where we actually pass in the auto-close and
auto-open action instead of mixing it with the close and open
action that is currently being passed to the controller.
When someone wants to add > 1000 users at once they will hit a timeout.
Therefore, we should introduce limit and inform the user when limit is exceeded.
