Under exceptional situations the automatic draft feature can fail.
This new **hidden, default off** site setting
`backup_drafts_to_pm_length` will automatically backup any draft that is
saved by the system to a dedicated PM (originating from self)
The body of that PM will contain the text of the reply.
We can enable this feature strategically on sites exhibiting issues to
diagnose issues with the draft system and offer a recourse to users who
appear to lose drafts. We automatically checkpoint these drafts every 5
minutes forcing a new revision each 5 minutes so you can revert to old
content.
Longer term we are considering automatically enabling this kind of feature
for extremely long drafts where the risk is really high one could lose
days of writing.
When a category has a subcategory, we ensure that no one who can see the
subcategory cannot see the parent. However, we don't take into account
the fact that, when no CategoryGroups exist, the default is that
everyone has full permissions.
Moving posts also moves the read state (`topic_users` table) to the destination topic. This changes that behavior so that only users who posted in the destination topic will have the original notification level (probably "watching") of the original topic. The notification level for all other users will be set to "regular".
Previously the 'local_cdn_url' method didn't returned the correct cdn url. So we written few incorrect spec tests too.\n\nf92a6f7ac5228342177bf089d269e2f69a69e2f5
When an admin changes the site setting slug_generation_method to
encoded, we weren't really encoding the slug, but just allowing non-ascii
characters in the slug (unicode).
That brings problems when a user posts a link to topic without the slug, as
our topic controller tries to redirect the user to the correct URL that contains
the slug with unicode characters. Having unicode in the Location header in a
response is a RFC violation and some browsers end up in a redirection loop.
Bug report: https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/125371?u=falco
This commit also checks if a site uses encoded slugs and clear all saved slugs
in the db so they can be regenerated using an onceoff job.
Post timings are created by `topic_id` and `post_number` and it's possible that the destination topic already contains post timings for non-existent posts. For example, this can happen if the destination topic was previously split and Discourse recorded post timings for moved posts in the destination topic.
This commit ensures that all timings which reference non-existent posts are deleted from the destination topic before the posts are moved.
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.
Adds 2 factor authentication method via second factor security keys over [web authn](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Authentication_API).
Allows a user to authenticate a second factor on login, login-via-email, admin-login, and change password routes. Adds registration area within existing user second factor preferences to register multiple security keys. Supports both external (yubikey) and built-in (macOS/android fingerprint readers).
Currently, the topic is only validated for censored words and should be validated for blocked words as well.
Blocked word validation is now used by both Post and Topic. To avoid code duplication, I extracted blocked words validation code into separate Validator, and use it in both places.
The only downside is that even if the topic contains blocked words validation message is saying "Your post contains a word that's not allowed: tomato" but I think this is descriptive enough.
Forums without previously calculated scores would return the same values
for low/medium/high sensitivity. Now those are scaled based on the
default value.
The default value has also been changed from 10.0 to 12.5 based on
observing data from live discourse forums.
Prior to the new review queue there were a couple special cases where
posts would be auto hidden:
* If a TL3 or above flagged a TL0 post as spam
* If a TL4 or above flagged a non-staff, non-TL4 post as spam, inappropriate or off
topic.
These cases are now removed in favour of the scoring system.
The URL '/images/transparent.png' will be used in the cooked content if upload record not found. In that case we have to use 'short_url' as image src in 'post.each_upload_url' method.
* FIX: User should get notified when a post is deleted
* FEATURE: Notify posters when restoring flagged posts
* Fix typo
Co-Authored-By: Régis Hanol <regis@hanol.fr>
* Improve tests
* The read indicator now shows up when no member has read the last post of the topic (written by a non-member)
* The read indicator works on mobile and receives live updates from message bus
* The icon we display in the topic list was changed
* Added a title to the indicator to indicate its purpose when hovering over it
The client-side theme-selector would always apply the first in a series of file change notifications. This has been fixed, so it now applies the most recent notification.
Duplicate notifications were being sent because
- The remote_theme autosave was causing every change notification to be doubled
- Color scheme change notifications were being sent every time a theme was uploaded, even if the colors were unchanged
These duplicate notifications have been fixed, and a spec added to ensure it does not regress in future
When activating a user via an external provider, this would cause the "this account is not activated" message to show on the first attempt, even though the account had been activated correctly.
* 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
This change allows themes and components access to theme assets.
This means that inside theme js you can now get the URL for an asset with:
```
settings.theme_uploads.name
```
* 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
Previously we relied on side effects to set tracking state correctly
when inviting groups to messages
Also has a minor optimisation in that we use pluck instead of pulling in
full record
Previously we would unconditionally issue an "invited_to_pm" notification
to all non muting users.
New behavior
- Watching and Watching first post get notified
- Tracking get a new "summary" message
- The rest get nothing
This is consistent with topic creation and way clearer
If enabled, this will fire a webhook whenever a user's notification has
been created. This could potentially be a lot of data depending on your
forum, and should be used carefully since it includes everything all users
will see in their feeds.
There are 5 visibility levels (similar to group visibility)
public (default)
logged-in users
members only
staff
owners
Admins & group owners always have visibility to group members.
Theme developers can now add any of the transformed color variables to their color scheme in about.json. For example
```
"color_schemes": {
"Light": {
"primary": "333333",
"secondary": "ffffff",
"primary-low": "ff0000"
}
},
```
would override the primary-low variable when compiling SCSS for the color scheme. The primary-low variable will also be visible in administrator color palette UI.
If a post is flagged after an action was already performed on it, it
will update the previous Reviable instance and not create a new one.
The notification logic was implemented in the :create callback which was
completely skipped in this case.
There are situations where depending on site settings, actions could be
taken due to flags (for example, hiding a post) but those actions were
not visibile in the review queue due to visibility settings.
This patch makes sure that the minimum score required for an action such
as hiding a post needs to meet the visibility for a moderator to see it.
This feature allows @ mentions to prioritize showing members of a group who
have explicit permission to a category.
This makes it far easier to @ mention group member when composing topics in
categories where only the group has access.
For example:
If Sam, Jane an Joan have access to bugs category.
Then `@` will auto complete to (jane,joan,sam) ordered on last seen at
This feature works on new topics and existing topics. There is an explicit
exclusion of trust level 0,1,2 groups cause they get too big.
* UX: Rename "Keep Post" to "Keep Post Hidden" when hidden
This is based on this feedback:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-group-review-moderation/116478/19
When a post is hidden this makes the operation much more clear.
* REFACTOR: Better support for aliases for actions
Allow calls on alias actions and delegate to the original one.
This is less code but also simplifies tests where the action might
be "agree_and_keep" or "agree_and_keep_hidden" which are the same.
When `SiteSetting.embed_truncate` is enabled (by default), the truncated
string is mutatable and does not raise an error.
However, when the setting is disabled, the `contents` string is frozen
and immutable, and will raise a `FrozenError`.
No need to let notifications stay around when users can't access
a topic after it was converted into a PM or posts were moved
into a restricted topic.
Also makes sure that moving to a new topic correctly uses the
guardian for the first post by enqueuing jobs outside of a
transaction.
Previously, users who had any penalties (were silenced or suspended)
were not allowed to promote to Trust Level 3.
There is also a more subtle change here: if users were silenced or
suspended and then the operation was reverted (user was un-silenced
or un-suspended), then it would have been like the user was never
penalized in the first place. This is no longer the case. To forgive a
user earlier, administrators can use "Clear Penalty History" feature.
Lastly, Jobs::UnsilenceUsers will automatically unsilence any users who
should no longer be silenced (silenced_till < now()). This made it so
silence_count - unsilence_count == 0 for any user who is not silenced,
which defeated the purpose of this TL3 requirement.
DEV: deprecate `invite.via_email` in favor of `invite.emailed_status`
This commit adds a new column `emailed_status` in `invites` table for
tracking email sending status.
0 - not required
1 - pending
2 - bulk pending
3 - sending
4 - sent
For normal email invites, invite record is created with emailed_status
set to 'pending'.
When bulk invites are sent invite record is created with emailed_status
set to 'bulk pending'.
For invites that generates link, invite record is created with
emailed_status set to 'not required'.
When invite email is in queue emailed_status is updated to 'sending'
Once the email is sent via `InviteEmail` job the invite emailed_status
is updated to 'sent'.
This is a low severity security fix because it requires a logged in
admin user to update a site setting via the API directly to an invalid
value.
The fix adds validation for the affected site settings, as well as a
secondary fix to prevent injection in the event of bad data somehow
already exists.
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/121589
This new setting option lets group owners message/mention large groups
without granting that privilege to all members.
Groups can now be marked as visible to "logged on users". All automatic groups (except `everyone`) are now visible to "logged on users", previously they were marked as public but suppressed in the group page for non-staff.
This allows you to temporarily disable components without having to remove them from a theme.
This feature is very handy when doing quick fix engineering.
Previously users were still allowed to create topic via API even if
uncategorized was disabled.
Not 100% happy with all this special casing, but I guess we have to do
something.
This also splits up a mega spec now that we have fab! into a more easy to
understand structure (I hope)
* Remove unused method
* Prefabricate user in category_user_spec.rb
* FIX: Remove notification_level from category_users unique indexes
* FIX: CategoryUser#batch_set wasn't updating pre-existing records
* Improve tests for CategoryUser#batch_set
* FIX: changed was being reported incorrectly
* DEV: Rewrote query to do a bulk insert
* DEV: remove unnecessary parentheses
We now treat any external_id of blank string (" " or " " or "", etc) or a
invalid word (none, nil, blank, null) - case insensitive - as invalid.
In this case the client will see "please contact admin" the logs will explain
the reason clearly.
- Correct create_category_definition to skip validations and use a
transaction, no longer able to create corrupt topics
- ensure_consistency now clears topic_id if pointing at deleted or missing
topic_id
- Stop creating category definition topics for uncategorized
You can now add javascript files under `/javascripts/*` in a theme, and they will be loaded as if they were included in core, or a plugin. If you give something the same name as a core/plugin file, it will be overridden. Support file extensions are `.js.es6`, `.hbs` and `.raw.hbs`.
This is an attempt to fix the flaky:
```
1) Jobs::Onceoff can run all once off jobs without errors
Failure/Error: self.locale_no_cache = value
I18n::InvalidLocale:
:bar is not a valid locale
# ./lib/freedom_patches/translate_accelerator.rb:193:in `locale='
# ./app/jobs/onceoff/clean_up_user_export_topics.rb:7:in `block in execute_onceoff'
# ./app/jobs/onceoff/clean_up_user_export_topics.rb:6:in `map'
# ./app/jobs/onceoff/clean_up_user_export_topics.rb:6:in `execute_onceoff'
# ./spec/integrity/onceoff_integrity_spec.rb:13:in `block (3 levels) in <main>'
# ./spec/integrity/onceoff_integrity_spec.rb:12:in `each'
# ./spec/integrity/onceoff_integrity_spec.rb:12:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'
```
This feature allows end users to "defer" topics by marking them unread
The functionality is default disabled. This also introduces the new site
setting default_other_enable_defer: to enable this by default on new user
accounts.
* FEATURE: detect theme errors and catch them
* Bump COMPILER_VERSION
* Feedback
* Override eslint no console for one line
* Can't use our ajax method
* remove emoji from translation file
The issue here was that, with prefabrication, bumped_at was being
persisted and then loaded and the DB was storing it with less precision
than the object state.
We were blocking user registrations with same username and password,
but allowing usernames to be changed to be same as password later.
Also disallow names to be the same as password.
There was a race condition when 2 invites existed for 1 user where in some
cases data from both invites would be used for the redeem. Depending on DB
ordering.
Fix is to delete duplicate invites earlier in the process prior to
`redeem_from_email` being called.
Before: 6:05
After: 5:42
Featuring topics for `list/categories` is a very expensive operation that
happened each time we created a topic. This introduces a test only bypass
This is a feature that used to be present in discourse-assign but is
much easier to implement in core. It also allows a topic to be assigned
without it claiming for review and vice versa and allows it to work with
category group reviewers.
We found score hard to understand. It is still there behind the scenes
for sorting purposes, but it is no longer shown.
You can now filter by minimum priority (low, med, high) instead of
score.
* Moved let to more appropriate scopes
* Refactored tests
It's confusing when let blocks in a parent context depend on other let
blocks from a child context.
* Moved fabrication to top level
* Removed unnecessary user fabrications
* Added a trust level 2 user at the top level
* Factored out category
* Made test use generic user
* Prefabricate topic
* Cut down redundant users
* Prefabricated more things
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
This removes all uses of both `send` and `public_send` from consumers of
SiteSetting and instead introduces a `get` helper for dynamic lookup
This leads to much cleaner and safer code long term as we are always explicit
to test that a site setting is really there before sending an arbitrary
string to the class
It also removes a couple of risky stubs from the auth provider test
Hidden (staff-only) post actions are whisper posts with no content, that
are later transformed by the client into post actions (discourse-assign
uses this).
After careful analysis of large data-sets it became apparent that avg_time
had no impact whatsoever on "best of" topic scoring. Calculating avg_time
was a very costly operation especially on large databases.
We have some longer term plans of introducing other weighting that is read
time based into our scoring for "best of" and "top" topics, but in the
interim to stop a large amount of work that is not achieving any value we
are removing the jobs.
Column removal will follow once we decide on a new replacement metric.
