Product has decided that the tracked section link provides very little
value at this moment in time so we're removing it.
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/245374 for more context.
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.

**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
The hidden site setting `suppress_secured_categories_from_admin` will
suppress visibility of categories without explicit access from admins
in a few key areas (category drop downs and topic lists)
It is not intended to be a security wall since admins can amend any site
setting. Instead it is feature that allows hiding the categories from the
UI.
Admins will still be able to see topics in categories without explicit
access using direct URLs or flags.

Trying out changes to reduce the number of nav items in the experimental horizontal user nav. These changes should only appear with the redesigned_user_page_nav_enabled feature flag.
1. Created a new "Tracking" route. This combines some tracking-related settings from Notifications and Category and Tag tracking (which were separate tabs previously). Don't love the layout yet, but it's something that we can work on.
2. Moved some user-related settings out of Notifications and to the
Users tab. These seem more user-related to me, and it's nice that we can
associate enabling messages with the setting to limit who can send
messages.
3. Moved the App tab (lists app permissions) to be within the Security tab. It's very similar to Recently Used Devices.
When opening the invite acceptance page when the user
was already logged in, we were still showing the Accept
Invitation prompt even if the user had already redeemed
the invitation and was present in the `InvitedUser` table.
This would lead to errors when the user clicked on the button.
This commit fixes the issue by hiding the Accept Invitation
button and showing an error message instead indicating that
the user had already redeemed the invitation. This only applies
to multi-use invite links.
* DEV: Add utility to hide all user tips
* DEV: Add UserTip Glimmer component
* DEV: Add tests for existing user tips
* FEATURE: Add user tip for post menu
* FEATURE: Add user tip for topic notification level
* FEATURE: Add user tip for suggested topics
* FEATURE: Hide new popups for existing users
* FEATURE: Default Composer Category Site Setting
- Create the default_composer_category site setting
- Replace general_category_id logic for auto selecting the composer
category
- Prevent Uncategorized from being selected if not allowed
- Add default_composer_category option to seeded categories
- Create a migration to populate the default_composer_category site
setting if there is a general_category_id populated
- Added some tests
* Add missing translation for the new site setting
* fix some js tests
* Just check that the header value is null
We already do this in test mode, so let's do it in
development mode too. It adds better step-by-step
debugging and callstack navigation, see the readme

This commit fixes the issue where the sub-category topic list was not
loading for new-topic routes. Since we do not need to preload topic
lists for new topic/message routes this commit adds a no-op controller
that prevents topic lists pre loading and at the same time fixes the sub
category topics not loading issue.
This commit automatically ensures that category channels
have slugs when they are created or updated based on the
channel name, category name, or existing slug. The behaviour
has been copied from the Category model.
We also include a backfill here with a simplified version
of Slug.for with deduplication to fill the slugs for already
created Category chat channels.
The channel slug is also now used for chat notifications,
and for the UI and navigation for chat. `slugifyChannel`
is still used, but now does the following fallback:
* Uses channel.slug if it is present
* Uses channel.escapedTitle if it is present
* Uses channel.title if it is present
In future we may want to remove this altogether
and always rely on the slug being present, but this
is currently not possible because we are not generating
slugs for DM channels at this point.
Previously if a specific plugin route was not available (e.g. there was an error loading the plugin's JS due to an ad blocker), the entire page would fail to load. This commit updates the behavior to catch this kind of issue and display a user-friendly message at the top of the screen.
This allows a large volume of cookies in request headers. Discourse itself tries to minimise cookie size, but we cannot control other cookies set by other tools on the same domain.
Previously, we didn't have a site-wide setting to set the default behavior for user profile visibility and user presence features. But we already have a user preference for that.
This updates the behavior of the list destination setting for links in the sidebar.
By default, new/unread content will show a dot like chat, rather than the count of new/unread topics.
If a user chooses to link to new/unread in the sidebar, we'll show the count.
The goal here is to find a simple default for typical users (new/unread indication, no counts, default links) while providing a different workflow for power users (showing new/unread counts, and linking directly to new/unread).
Internal Ref: /t/82626
Our dialog service doesn't accept HTML by default and we shouldn't include HTML in the error message string. And given that the Ajax error handler is called in multiple contexts, it's tricky to properly support line breaks via either HTML or `\n` so we are opting for plain text in AJAX error messages.
Given that the category structure is generally speaking the backbone of most Discourse instances, it makes sense to show the edit button for the category even when the user is in a category/tag intersection route.
* DEV: Use list controller and action
It used an empty action handler which just returned the app and it
required another request to get the topic list. By using the correct
controller and action we can preload the topic list.
This commit adds a new `/hashtag/search` endpoint and both
relevant JS and ruby plugin APIs to handle plugins adding their
own data sources and priority orders for types of things to search
when `#` is pressed.
A `context` param is added to `setupHashtagAutocomplete` which
a corresponding chat PR https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/pull/1302
will now use.
The UI calls `registerHashtagSearchParam` for each context that will
require a `#` search (e.g. the topic composer), for each type of record that
the context needs to search for, as well as a priority order for that type. Core
uses this call to add the `category` and `tag` data sources to the topic composer.
The `register_hashtag_data_source` ruby plugin API call is for plugins to
add a new data source for the hashtag searching endpoint, e.g. discourse-chat
may add a `channel` data source.
This functionality is hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
flag, except for the change to `setupHashtagAutocomplete` since only core and
discourse-chat are using that function. Note this PR does **not** include required
changes for hashtag lookup or new styling.
