Sometimes changes to "What's new?" feed items are made or the feed items are
removed altogether, and the polling interval to check for new features is 1 day.
This is quite long, so this commit introduces a "Check for updates"
button for admins to click on the "What's new?" page which will bust
the cache for the feed and check again at the new features endpoint.
This is limited to 5 times per minute to avoid rapid sending of
requests.
This commit introduces a new feature that allows staff to bulk select and delete users directly from the users list at `/admin/users/list`. The main use-case for this feature is make deleting spammers easier when a site is under a large spam attack.

This moves the logic of setting the correct permalink values back into the controller. And it replaces the validation with a simpler one, that always works, even when the model is loaded from the DB.
Follow-up to #29634 which broke import scripts and lots of documentation on Meta.
Redesign the permalinks page to follow the UX guide. In addition, the ability to edit permalinks was added.
This change includes:
- move to RestModel
- added Validations
- update endpoint and clear old values after the update
- system specs and improvements for unit tests
This commit adds a new "Community title" field to the about config page. This field controls the `short_site_description` setting, which is shown in the browser tab for key pages such categories pages and topic lists.

This patch replaces the parameters provided to a service through
`params` by the contract object.
That way, it allows better consistency when accessing input params. For
example, if you have a service without a contract, to access a
parameter, you need to use `params[:my_parameter]`. But with a contract,
you do this through `contract.my_parameter`. Now, with this patch,
you’ll be able to access it through `params.my_parameter` or
`params[:my_parameter]`.
Some methods have been added to the contract object to better mimic a
Hash. That way, when accessing/using `params`, you don’t have to think
too much about it:
- `params.my_key` is also accessible through `params[:my_key]`.
- `params.my_key = value` can also be done through `params[:my_key] =
value`.
- `#slice` and `#merge` are available.
- `#to_hash` has been implemented, so the contract object will be
automatically cast as a hash by Ruby depending on the context. For
example, with an AR model, you can do this: `user.update(**params)`.
Currently in services, we don’t make a distinction between input
parameters, options and dependencies.
This can lead to user input modifying the service behavior, whereas it
was not the developer intention.
This patch addresses the issue by changing how data is provided to
services:
- `params` is now used to hold all data coming from outside (typically
user input from a controller) and a contract will take its values from
`params`.
- `options` is a new key to provide options to a service. This typically
allows changing a service behavior at runtime. It is, of course,
totally optional.
- `dependencies` is actually anything else provided to the service (like
`guardian`) and available directly from the context object.
The `service_params` helper in controllers has been updated to reflect
those changes, so most of the existing services didn’t need specific
changes.
The options block has the same DSL as contracts, as it’s also based on
`ActiveModel`. There aren’t any validations, though. Here’s an example:
```ruby
options do
attribute :allow_changing_hidden, :boolean, default: false
end
```
And here’s an example of how to call a service with the new keys:
```ruby
MyService.call(params: { key1: value1, … }, options: { my_option: true }, guardian:, …)
```
Currently, when calling a service with its block form, a `#result`
method is automatically created on the caller object. Even if it never
clashed so far, this could happen.
This patch removes that method, and instead use a more classical way of
doing things: the result object is now provided as an argument to the
main block. This means if we need to access the result object in an
outcome block, it will be done like this from now on:
```ruby
MyService.call(params) do |result|
on_success do
# do something with the result object
do_something(result)
end
end
```
In the same vein, this patch introduces the ability to match keys from
the result object in the outcome blocks, like we already do with step
definitions in a service. For example:
```ruby
on_success do |model:, contract:|
do_something(model, contract)
end
```
Instead of
```ruby
on_success do
do_something(result.model, result.contract)
end
```
This commit brings back some reports hidden or changed
by the commit in 14b436923c if
the site setting `use_legacy_pageviews` is false.
* Unhide the old “Consolidated Pageviews” report and rename it
to “Legacy Consolidated Pageviews”
* Add a legacy_page_view_total_reqs report called “Legacy Pageviews”,
which calculates pageviews in the same way the old page_view_total_reqs
report did.
This will allow admins to better compare old and new pageview
stats which are based on browser detection if they have switched
over to _not_ use legacy pageviews.
Toggle the button to enable the experimental site setting from "What's new" announcement.
The toggle button is displayed when:
- site setting exists and is boolean;
- potentially required plugin is enabled.
Constants should always be only assigned once. The logical OR assignment
of a constant is a relic of the past before we used zeitwerk for
autoloading and had bugs where a file could be loaded twice resulting in
constant redefinition warnings.

We are going to start making section landing pages
for admin for each sidebar section. This lays the framework
with routes and simple components that can be further
refined by a designer, but I have taken the base CSS from
AI which Kris made.
The initial section landing items will be used in AI to replace
the placeholders added in this commit b8b3c61451
This commit introduces a feature that allows an admin to delete a user's
associated account. After deletion, a log will be recorded in staff
actions.
ref=t/136675
his is a new feature that lets admins dismiss notices from the dashboard. This helps with self-service in cases where a notice is "stuck", while we work on provisions to prevent "sticking" in the first place.
- fetch models inside services
- validate `user_id` in contracts
- use policy objects
- extract more logic to actions
- write specs for services and action
### UI changes
All of the UI changes described are gated behind the `use_legacy_pageviews`
site setting.
This commit changes the admin dashboard pageviews report to
use the "Consolidated Pageviews with Browser Detection" report
introduced in 2f2da72747 with
the following changes:
* The report name is changed to "Site traffic"
* The pageview count on the dashboard is counting only using the new method
* The old "Consolidated Pageviews" report is renamed as "Consolidated Legacy Pageviews"
* By default "known crawlers" and "other" sources of pageviews are hidden on the report
When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `true`, we do not show or allow running
the "Site traffic" report for admins. When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `false`,
we do not show or allow running the following legacy reports:
* consolidated_page_views
* consolidated_page_views_browser_detection
* page_view_anon_reqs
* page_view_logged_in_reqs
### Historical data changes
Also part of this change is that, since we introduced our new "Consolidated
Pageviews with Browser Detection" report, some admins are confused at either:
* The lack of data before a certain date , which didn’t exist before
we started collecting it
* Comparing this and the current "Consolidated Pageviews" report data,
which rolls up "Other Pageviews" into "Anonymous Browser" and so it
appears inaccurate
All pageview data in the new report before the date where the _first_
anon or logged in browser pageview was recorded is now hidden.
* FEATURE: Log tag group changes in staff action log
This commit records every change (add, change, delete) to a tag group in
the staff action log.
It uses a modal that was originally called ThemeChangeModal to display
changes, allowing staffs to see the specific changes clearly. The modal
is renamed to StaffActionLogChangeModal in this PR.

This patch removes the `with_service` helper from the code base.
Instead, we can pass a block with actions directly to the `.call` method
of a service.
This simplifies how to use services:
- use `.call` without a block to run the service and get its result
object.
- use `.call` with a block of actions to run the service and execute
arbitrary code depending on the service outcome.
It also means a service is now “self-contained” and can be used anywhere
without having to include a helper or whatever.
A new setting attribute is used to define the areas (separated by `|`).
In addition, endpoint `/admin/config/site_settings.json` accepts new `filter_area` data.
When searching for site texts for admin using the english
version of the text, previously we would show the english
version in the results _even if_ there was another locale
translated version available when a locale was selected
from the dropdown.
This commit adds a "Only show results in selected locale"
checkbox option which will instead make it so the results
shown are in the target locale, making it easier for translators
to tell when there is actually translations vs. missing tranlsations.
This commit moves the business logic in the `Admin::UsersController#suspend` and `Admin::UsersController#silence` actions to dedicated service classes. There's no functional changes in this commit.
Internal topic: t/130014.
This commit fixes a bug where the silence button is incorrectly displayed on the admin page of a staff user. It's not actually possible to silence a staff user because the backend correctly prevents it, but the frontend isn't checking if the button should be displayed.
Another small bug that this commit fixes is the similar users list not showing up inside the silence/suspend modals due to also a bug in the frontend.
I've also changed the way similar users are loaded so that they're not returned by the `admin/users#show` endpoint anymore and moved them into a new endpoint that the penalize modals (suspend and silence) can call directly to retrieve the list of users. This is done because the similar users list is never shown on the admin user page (`/admin/users/:user_id/:username`); they're only needed when the suspend or silence modals are opened.

We used to show New Features in a tab on the dashboard,
but this could get pushed down the page especially on
our hosting. In 043117ca13
we made a separate What's New page, so this commit removes
the dashboard tab and changes the admin notification to
send the admin to /admin/whats-new instead of the dashboard
tab.
### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```

Followup 4aea12fdcb
In certain config areas (like About) we want to be able
to fetch specific site settings by name. In this case,
sometimes we need to be able to fetch hidden settings,
in cases where a config area is still experimental.
Splitting out a different endpoint for this purpose
allows us to be stricter with what we return for config
areas without affecting the main site settings UI, revealing
hidden settings before they are ready.
We have a dedicated admin page (`/admin/customize/email_templates`) that lets admins customize all emails that Discourse sends to users. The way this page works is that it lists all translations strings that are used for emails, and the list of translation strings is currently hardcoded and hasn't been updated in years. We've had a number of new emails that Discourse sends, so we should add those templates to the list to let admins easily customize those templates.
Meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-2-x-still-ignores-some-custom-email-templates/308203.
* FEATURE: Add logging for CustomEmoji
We didn't provide any logs for CustomEmoji before, nor did we record the
person who added any emoji in the database. As a result, the staff had
no way to trace back who added a certain emoji.
This commit adds a new column `user_id` to `custom_emojis` to record the
creator of an emoji. At the same time, a log is added for staff logs to
record who added or deleted a custom emoji.
Background:
In order to redrive failed webhook events, an operator has to go through and click on each. This PR is adding a mechanism to retry all failed events to help resolve issues quickly once the underlying failure has been resolved.
What is the change?:
Previously, we had to redeliver each webhook event. This merge is adding a 'Redeliver Failed' button next to the webhook event filter to redeliver all failed events. If there is no failed webhook events to redeliver, 'Redeliver Failed' gets disabled. If you click it, a window pops up to confirm the operator. Failed webhook events will be added to the queue and webhook event list will show the redelivering progress. Every minute, a job will be ran to go through 20 events to redeliver. Every hour, a job will cleanup the redelivering events which have been stored more than 8 hours.
I am changing many of these to notes or resolving them as is,
most of these I have not actively worked on in years so someone
else can work on them when we get to these areas again.
This commit continues work laid out by ffec8163b0 for the admin config page for the /about page. The last commit set up the user interface, and this one sets up all the wiring needed to make the input fields and save buttons actually work.

Adds a checkbox to filter untranslated text strings in the admin UI, behind a hidden and default `false` site setting `admin_allow_filter_untranslated_text`.
This commit adds ability to fetch a subset of site settings from the `/admin/site_settings` endpoint so that it can be used in all places where the client app needs access to a subset of the site settings.
Additionally, this commit also introduces a new service class called `UpdateSiteSetting` that encapsulates all the logic that surrounds updating a site setting so that it can be used to update site setting(s) anywhere in the backend. This service comes in handy with, for example, the controller for the flags admin config area which may need to update some site settings related to flags.

After working on the Webhook events filter by Status, I noticed that the 'Delivered' and 'Failed' options do not take the status param when loading more than fifty Webhook events. It causes to load all Webhook events regardless of its status after the first load.
This PR is adding webhook events status for the filter to the param when loading more than fifty Webhook events.

In some admin user controller extensions, @user is used to derive certain values.
The grant_admin method requires @user as well, so we are adding it here. This is tested in the plugin that it is used in.
Continued work on moderate flags UI.
In this PR admins are allowed to change the order of flags. The notify user flag is always on top but all other flags can be moved.
This commit removes the `/admin-revamp` routes which were introduced as a part of an experiment to revamp the admin pages. We still want to improve the admin/staff experience, but we're going to do them within the existing `/admin` routes instead of introducing a completely new route.
Our initial efforts to improve the Discourse admin experience is this commit which introduces the foundation for a new subroute `/admin/config` which will house various new pages for configuring Discourse. The first new page (or "config area") will be `/admin/config/about` that will house all the settings and controls for configuring the `/about` page of Discourse.
