Instead of the deprecated 'min trust level to allow ignore' in order to reduce the number of deprecation notices in the logs.
This tweaks a few serializers so that the 'can_ignore_users?` property is always coming from the server and properly used on the client-side.
SiteSetting.hide_user_profiles_from_public raises a Forbidden, which disallows our after_action: add no index header from triggering.
This fix makes sure that the no index header gets added via before_action instead

This commit moves topic view tracking from happening
every time a Topic is requested, which is susceptible
to inflating numbers of views from web crawlers, to
our request tracker middleware.
In this new location, topic views are only tracked when
the following headers are sent:
* HTTP_DISCOURSE_TRACK_VIEW - This is sent on every page navigation when
clicking around the ember app. We count these as browser page views
because we know it comes from the AJAX call in our app. The topic ID
is extracted from HTTP_DISCOURSE_TRACK_VIEW_TOPIC_ID
* HTTP_DISCOURSE_DEFERRED_TRACK_VIEW - Sent when MessageBus initializes
after first loading the page to count the initial page load view. The
topic ID is extracted from HTTP_DISCOURSE_DEFERRED_TRACK_VIEW.
This will bring topic views more in line with the change we
made to page views in the referenced commit and result in
more realistic topic view counts.
By default, secure sessions expire after 1 hour.
For OAuth authentication it should expire at the same time when the authentication cookie expires - `SiteSetting.maximum_session_age.hours`.
It is possible that the forum will not have persistent sessions, based on `persistent_sessions` site setting. In that case, with next username and password authentication we need to reset information about OAuth.
Bug introduced in this PR - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547
When bad data is provided in the URI for redirecting to a category,
Rails raises an `ActionController::Redirecting::UnsafeRedirectError`
error, leading to a 500 error.
This patch catches the exception to render a 404 instead.
Currently redirecting to an external URL through a permalink doesn’t
work because Rails raises a
`ActionController::Redirecting::UnsafeRedirectError` error.
This wasn’t the case before we upgraded to Rails 7.0.
This patch fixes the issue by using `allow_other_host: true` on the
redirect.
If, for whatever reasons, the user's locale is "blank" and an admin is accepting their group membership request, there will be an error because we're generating posts with the locale of recipient.
In order to fix this, we now use the `user.effective_locale` which takes care of multiple things, including returning the default locale when the user's locale is blank.

We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.
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`.

In this PR we introduced `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth` setting https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27506
When it is set to false and the user is authenticated via OAuth, then we should not enforce the 2fa configuration.
Some tooling may rely on an unsafe-none cross origin opener policy to work. This change adds a hidden site setting that can be used to list referrers where we add this header instead of the default one configured in cross_origin_opener_policy_header.

This commit fixes this by validating the reviewable model

A new admin setting called `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`. It allows users to authenticate using external providers even when 2FA is forced with `enforce_second_factor` site setting.

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.

This commit fixes a problem where the user will not be able to reset
their password when they only have security keys and backup codes
configured.
This commit also makes the following changes/fixes:
1. Splits password reset system tests to
`spec/system/forgot_password_spec.rb` instead of missing the system
tests in `spec/system/login_spec.rb` which is mainly used to test
the login flow.
2. Fixes a UX issue where the `Use backup codes` or `Use authenticator
app` text is shown on the reset password form when the user does
not have either backup codes or an authenticator app configured.
This makes it more obvious what's happening, and makes it much less likely that users will send repeated reset emails (and thereby hit the rate limit)

This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This commit moves the logic for crawler rate limits out of the application controller and into the request tracker middleware. The reason for this move is to apply rate limits to all crawler requests instead of just the requests that make it to the application controller. Some requests are served early from the middleware stack without reaching the Rails app for performance reasons (e.g. `AnonymousCache`) which results in crawlers getting 200 responses even though they've reached their limits and should be getting 429 responses.

This gives us daily fidelity of topic view stats
New table stores a row per topic viewed per day tracking
anonymous and logged on views
We also have a new endpoint `/t/ID/views-stats.json` to get the statistics for the topic.
We're planning to implement a feature that allows adding required fields for existing users. This PR does some preparatory refactoring to make that possible. There should be no changes to existing behaviour. Just a small update to the admin UI.
This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.
This PR aims to add bulk actions to the user's bookmarks.
After this feature, all users should be able to select multiple bookmarks and perform the actions of "deleting" or "clear reminders"
Instead of creating two separate Topics when a user (1) requests to join a group and (2) gets accepted in, this makes the acceptance message into a Post under the origin group request Topic.
Note this may have performance issues in some cases, will need to be monitored
Previous to this change we were bracketing on 50 id windows. They may end up
having zero posts we are searching for leading to posts.rss and .json returning
no results.
- avoids Post.last.id which is expensive
- order by id desc which is better cause we bracket on id
AuthProvider#enabled_setting=, used primarily by plugins, has been deprecated since version 2.9, in favour of Authenticator#enabled?. This PR confirms we are seeing no more usage and removes the method.
In 07ecbb5a3b we ensure the mentions in a group's activity page worked properly but we missed adding proper support for infinite loading.
The client is using the `before` parameter instead of the `before_post_id` to do the pagination.
This adds support for `before` as well as some tests to ensure it doesn't regress.
I also added tests to the group's activity posts as well since those were missing.
Finally I deleted some unused code (`group.messages_for`) which is not used anymore.

When converting a PM to a public topic (and vice versa), if there was a validation error (like a topic already used, or a tag required or not allowed) the error message wasn't bubbled up nor shown to the user.
This fix ensures we properly stop the conversion whenever a validation error happens and bubble up the errors back to the user so they can be informed.

This commit changes request method for "categories/search" from GET to
POST to make sure that long filters can be passed to the server. For
example, category selectors with many categories are setting the full
list of selected category IDs to ensure these are filtered out from the
list of choices. This can result in a long URL that exceeds the maximum
length.
The watched word group's create, update and delete action logs were missing the translations. This PR will add those strings and will use the group key instead of watched word key where needed.
At the moment, there is no way to create a group of related watched words together. If a user needed a set of words to be created together, they'll have to create them individually one at a time.
This change attempts to allow related watched words to be created as a group. The idea here is to have a list of words be tied together via a common `WatchedWordGroup` record. Given a list of words, a `WatchedWordGroup` record is created and assigned to each `WatchedWord` record. The existing WatchedWord creation behaviour remains largely unchanged.

This commit introduces a few changes as a result of
customer issues with finding why a topic was relisted.
In one case, if a user edited the OP of a topic that was
unlisted and hidden because of too many flags, the topic
would get relisted by directly changing topic.visible,
instead of going via TopicStatusUpdater.
To improve tracking we:
* Introduce a visibility_reason_id to topic which functions
in a similar way to hidden_reason_id on post, this column is
set from the various places we change topic visibility
* Fix Post#unhide! which was directly modifying topic.visible,
instead we use TopicStatusUpdater which sets visibility_reason_id
and also makes a small action post
* Show the reason topic visibility changed when hovering the
unlisted icon in topic status on topic titles
Selecting the +subcategories option does not work sometimes when "lazy
load categories" is enabled because the subcategories may not be
fetched. This ensures that subcategories are loaded by requesting them
before being used.
Fixes two issues:
- frontend was reloading the page when clicking-to-remove avatar
- backend wasn't allowing resetting the setting by deleting all avatars
This ensures we only ever store correct post and topic timing when the client
notifies.
Previous to this change we would blindly trust the client.
Additionally this has error correction code that will correct the last seen
post number when you visit a topic with incorrect timings.

Full text search does not return ideal results for category dropdown.
Usually, in category dropdowns we want to search for categories as we
type. For example, while typing "theme", the dropdown should show
intermediary results for "t", "th", "the", "them" and finally "theme".
For some of these substrings (like "the"), full text search does not
return any results, which leads to an unpleasant user experience.
Previously, when the new site was created and after the first admin login, no one will receive notifications to review the user approval queue since only the moderators would receive the PMs about it. Also, this PR will change the "pending_users_reminder_delay_minutes" site setting to 5 minutes while the site is in bootstrap mode.
When lazy load categories is enabled, categories should be loaded with
user activity items and drafts because the categories may not be
preloaded on the client side.
We will be collecting the logo URL and the site's default locale values along with existing basic details to display the site on the Discourse Discover listing page. It will be included only if the site is opted-in by enabling the "`include_in_discourse_discover`" site setting.
Also, we no longer going to use `about.json` and `site/statistics.json` endpoints retrieve these data. We will be using only the `site/basic-info.json` endpoint.
Plugins that are hidden or disabled aren't shown in the plugins list at `/admin/plugins` because they cannot be changed. However, the `#show` route doesn't check for the plugin's state and responds with 200 and the plugin's info even if the plugin is hidden or disabled. This commit makes the `#show` route respond with 404 if the plugin is hidden or disabled.
Why this change?
Before this change, the validation error message shown to the user when
saving a theme objects setting is very cryptic. This commit changes the
validation error messages to be displayed on top of the editor instead.
Note that I don't think this way of displaying is the ideal state we
want to get to but given the time we have this will do for now.
Why this change?
In cdba864598, we added support for adding
a description which will be displayed under the input of each property
on the client side.
Currently this convention in the locale file is followed:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
objects_setting:
description: <description> for the setting
schema:
properties:
name: <description for the name property>
links:
name: <description for the name property in link>
url: <description for the url property in link>
```
Since we now want to allow the label to be translated as well, we will
be changing the convention to the following:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
objects_setting:
description: <description> for the setting
schema:
properties:
name:
label: <label for the name property>
description: <description for the name property>
links:
name:
label: <label for the name property>
description: <description for the name property in link>
url:
label: <label for the url property>
description: <description for the url property in link>
```
If the locale file does not provide a `label` key under the property's
name, the client side will just display the property's name as the
label for the input field.
This commit removes the 'experimental_preconnect_link_header' site setting, and the 'preload_link_header' site setting, and introduces two new global settings: early_hint_header_mode and early_hint_header_name.
We don't actually send 103 Early Hint responses from Discourse. However, upstream proxies can be configured to cache a response header from the app and use that to send an Early Hint response to future clients.
- `early_hint_header_mode` specifies the mode for the early hint header. Can be nil (disabled), "preconnect" (lists just CDN domains) or "preload" (lists all assets).
- `early_hint_header_name` specifies which header name to use for the early hint. Defaults to "Link", but can be changed to support different proxy mechanisms.
Why this change?
This is a follow-up to 86b2e3aa3e.
Basically, we want to allow people to select more than 1 category as well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: category` to `type: categories` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: categories`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Categories>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations and switch it to use the `<CategorySelector>` component
instead of the `<CategoryChooser>` component which only supports selecting one category.
When crawlers visit a post-specific URL like `/t/-/{topic-id}/{post-number}`, we use the canonical to direct them to the appropriate crawler-optimised paginated view (e.g. `?page=3`).
However, analysis of google results shows that the post-specific URLs are still being included in the index. Google doesn't tell us exactly why this is happening. However, as a general rule, 'A large portion of the duplicate page's content should be present on the canonical version'.
In our previous implementation, this wasn't 100% true all the time. That's because a request for a post-specific URL would include posts 'surrounding' that post, and won't exactly conform to the page boundaries which are used in the canonical version of the page. Essentially: in some cases, the content of the post-specific pages would include many posts which were not present on the canonical paginated version.
This commit aims to resolve that problem by simplifying the implementation. Instead of rendering posts surrounding the target post_number, we will only render the target post, and include a link to 'show post in topic'. With this new implementation, 100% of the post-specific page content will be present on the canonical paginated version, which will hopefully mean google reduces their indexing of the non-canonical post-specific pages.
Why this change?
Previously, we were preloading the necessary metadata for
`adminCustomizeThemes.show.schema` route in the
`adminCustomizeThemes.show` route. This is wasteful because we're
loading data upfront when the objects setting editor may not be used.
This change also lays the ground work for a future commit where we need
to be shipping down additional metadata which may further add to the
payload.
Previously, when crawlers triggered a Discourse::InvalidAccess exception, they would be served the full Ember SPA. The SPA is not optimized for crawling, and so this is likely to cause problems for sites. This issue is particularly problematic when user profiles are hidden from the public via the `hide_user_profiles_from_public` setting, because the crawler would end up being 'soft-redirected' to the homepage in the SPA.
Why this change?
The test registers a category custom field to preload but doesn't remove
it at the end of the test causing a state leak which can result in other
tests failing.
Why this change?
In https://web.dev/articles/preconnect-and-dns-prefetch, it describes
how hinting to the browser to preconnect to domains which we will
eventually use the connection for can help improve the time it takes to
load a page.
We are putting this behind an experimental flag so that we can test and
profile this in a production environment.
What does this change introduce?
Introduce a hidden experimental `experimental_preconnect_link_header`
site setting which when enabled will add the `preconnect` and
`dns-prefetch` resource hints to the response headers for full page load
requests.
This commit operates at three levels of abstraction:
1. We want to prevent user history rows from being unbounded in size.
This commit adds rails validations to limit the sizes of columns on
user_histories,
2. However, we don't want to prevent certain actions from being
completed if these columns are too long. In those cases, we truncate
the values that are given and store the truncated versions,
3. For endpoints that perform staff actions, we can further control
what is permitted by explicitly validating the params that are given
before attempting the action,
With the new admin sidebar restructure, we have a link to "Installed plugins". We would like to ensure that when the admin is searching for a plugin name like "akismet" or "automation" this link will be visible. Also when entering the plugins page, related plugins should be highlighted.
This commit adds new plugin show routes (`/admin/plugins/:plugin_id`) as we move
towards every plugin having a consistent UI/landing page.
As part of this, we are introducing a consistent way for plugins
to show an inner sidebar in their config page, via a new plugin
API `register_admin_config_nav_routes`
This accepts an array of links with a label/text, and an
ember route. Once this commit is merged we can start the process
of conforming other plugins to follow this pattern, as well
as supporting a single-page version of this for simpler plugins
that don't require an inner sidebar.

Previously, if the sso= payload was invalid Base64, but signed correctly, there would be no useful log or error. This commit improves things by:
- moving the base64 check before the signature checking so that it's properly surfaced
- split the ParseError exception into PayloadParseError and SignatureError
- add user-facing errors for both of those
- add/improve spec for both
Why this change?
On the `/admin/customize/themes/<:id>` route, we allow admins to edit
all settings via a settings editor. Prior to this change, trying to edit
and save a typed objects theme settings will result in an error on the
server.
This change creates a user setting that they can toggle if
they don't want to receive unread notifications when someone closes a
topic they have read and are watching/tracking it.
When a post is created by an incoming email, we show
an envelope icon on it which then opens a modal with the
raw email contents. Previously this was staff (admin+mod)
only, but now this commit adds the `view_raw_email_allowed_groups`
site setting, so any group can be added to give users permission
to see this.
CategoryChooser component usually displays just categories, but
sometimes it can show two none values: a "no category" or Uncategorized.
This commit makes sure that these are rendered correctly.
The problem was that the "none" item was automatically inserted in the
list of options, but that should not always happen. Toggling option
`autoInsertNoneItem` requires setting `none` too.
When we send a bookmark reminder, there is an option to delete
the underlying bookmark. The Notification record stays around.
However, if you want to filter your notifications user menu
to only bookmark-based notifications, we were not showing unread
bookmark notifications for deleted bookmarks.
This commit fixes the issue _going forward_ by adding the
bookmarkable_id and bookmarkable_type to the Notification data,
so we can look up the underlying Post/Topic/Chat::Message
for a deleted bookmark and check user access in this way. Then,
it doesn't matter if the bookmark was deleted.
Returned results are ordered by ID, but the fabricated category and
private_category IDs are not always generated in the same order. This
caused the expected and actual results to be in different orders.
Now forums can enroll their sites to be showcased in the Discourse [Discover](https://discourse.org/discover) directory. Once they enable the site setting `include_in_discourse_discover` to enroll their forum the `CallDiscourseHub` job will ping the `api.discourse.org/api/discover/enroll` endpoint. Then the Discourse Hub will fetch the basic details from the forum and add it to the review queue. If the site is approved then the forum details will be displayed in the `/discover` page.
Also, remove experimental setting and simply use top_menu for feature detection
This means that when people eventually enable the hot top menu, there will
be topics in it

Add categories to the serialized search results together with the topics
when lazy load categories is enabled. This is necessary in order for the
results to be rendered correctly and display the category information.
This commit adds another plugin modifier related to post
actions, similar to ae24e04a5e.
This will be used to exclude users who liked _and_ reacted to
the post, since now in discourse-reactions we make a Like when
a user reacts too. This will affect the display of the post footer.
The strict-dynamic CSP directive is supported in all our target browsers, and makes for a much simpler configuration. Instead of allowlisting paths, we use a per-request nonce to authorize `<script>` tags, and then those scripts are allowed to load additional scripts (or add additional inline scripts) without restriction.
This becomes especially useful when admins want to add external scripts like Google Tag Manager, or advertising scripts, which then go on to load a ton of other scripts.
All script tags introduced via themes will automatically have the nonce attribute applied, so it should be zero-effort for theme developers. Plugins *may* need some changes if they are inserting their own script tags.
This commit introduces a strict-dynamic-based CSP behind an experimental `content_security_policy_strict_dynamic` site setting.
When making sensitive changes to an account (adding 2FA or passkeys), we
require users to confirm their password. This is to prevent an attacker
from adding 2FA to an account they have access to.
However, on newly created accounts, we should not require this, it's an
extra step and it doesn't provide extra security (since the account was
just created). This commit makes it so that we don't require session
confirmation for accounts created less than 5 minutes ago.
This would allow a theme component (or an API call) to reset the bump
date of a topic to a given post's created_at date.
I picked `post_id` as the parameter here because it provides a bit of
extra protection against accidentally resetting the bump date to a date
that doesn't make sense.
This commit includes several changes to make hashtags work when "lazy
load categories" is enabled. The previous hashtag implementation use the
category colors CSS variables, but these are not defined when the site
setting is enabled because categories are no longer preloaded.
This commit implements two fundamental changes:
1. load colors together with the other hashtag information
2. load cooked hashtag data asynchronously
The first change is implemented by adding "colors" to the HashtagItem
model. It is a list because two colors are returned for subcategories:
the color of the parent category and subcategory.
The second change is implemented on the server-side in a new route
/hashtags/by-ids and on the client side by loading previously unseen
hashtags, generating the CSS on the fly and injecting it into the page.
There have been minimal changes outside of these two fundamental ones,
but a refactoring will be coming soon to reuse as much of the code
and maybe favor use of `style` rather than injecting CSS into the page,
which can lead to page rerenders and indefinite grow of the styles.
When we show the links to installed plugins in the admin
sidebar (for plugins that have custom admin routes) we were
previously only doing this if you opened /admin, not if you
navigated there from the main forum. We should just always
preload this data if the user is admin.
This commit also changes `admin_sidebar_enabled_groups` to
not be sent to the client as part of ongoing efforts to
not check groups on the client, since not all a user's groups
may be serialized.
These routes were previously rendered using Rails, and had a fairly fragile 2fa implementation in vanilla-js. This commit refactors the routes to be handled in the Ember app, removes the custom vanilla-js bundles, and leans on our centralized 2fa implementation. It also introduces a set of system specs for the behavior.
In a handful of situations, we need to verify a user's 2fa credentials before `current_user` is assigned. For example: login, email_login and change-email confirmation. This commit adds an explicit `target_user:` parameter to the centralized 2fa system so that it can be used for those situations.
For safety and clarity, this new parameter only works for anon. If some user is logged in, and target_user is set to a different user, an exception will be raised.
For performance reasons we don't automatically add fabricated users to trust level auto-groups. However, when explicitly passing a trust level to the fabricator, in 99% of cases it means that trust level is relevant for the test, and we need the groups.
This change makes it so that when a trust level is explicitly passed to the fabricator, the auto-groups are refreshed. There's no longer a need to also pass refresh_auto_groups: true, which means clearer tests, fewer mistakes, and less confusion.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_level_to_tag_topics site setting to tag_topic_allowed_groups.
We have all these calls to Group.refresh_automatic_groups! littered throughout the tests. Including tests that are seemingly unrelated to groups. This is because automatic group memberships aren't fabricated when making a vanilla user. There are two places where you'd want to use this:
You have fabricated a user that needs a certain trust level (which is now based on group membership.)
You need the system user to have a certain trust level.
In the first case, we can pass refresh_auto_groups: true to the fabricator instead. This is a more lightweight operation that only considers a single user, instead of all users in all groups.
The second case is no longer a thing after #25400.
