AWS recommends running buckets without ACLs, and to use resource policies to manage access control instead.
This is not a bad idea, because S3 ACLs are whack, and while resource policies are also whack, they're a more constrained form of whack.
Further, some compliance regimes get antsy if you don't go with the vendor's recommended settings, and arguing that you need to enable ACLs on a bucket just to store images in there is more hassle than it's worth.
The new site setting (s3_use_acls) cannot be disabled when secure
uploads is enabled -- the latter relies on private ACLs for security
at this point in time. We may want to reexamine this in future.
Why does this change do?
This commit updates the educate message displayed when there are no new
topics on the `/new` route when the experimental new new view site setting is enabled.
The commit also fixes a couple of bugs:
1. Correct default auto track minutes used in the copy for unread
topics from the 4 minutes to 5 minutes.
2. Correct link to user's preference in copy to go to tracking tab
instead of notifications tab.
What is the problem?
The user messages routes are currently routed by the server to
`UserActionsController#private_messages`. However, the method is
essentially a no-op and does not do any preloading. As a result, when we
load the user private messages routes, the client ends up having to
issue another request to the server to get more information about the
user profile currently being viewed. This extra request is triggered by
the `user` model's `findDetails` method that is called from the `user`
route in the `afterModel` hook.
What is the solution?
The `user` model's `findDetails` method actually checks the preload
store to see if the `user_${username}` key is present in the store and
if it is, it will use the preloaded data instead of triggering another
request. Since the user private messages routes are nested under the
user route on the client side, we have to rely on the
`UsersController#show` controller action on the server side for the user private
messages route as the `UsersController#show` controller action preloads
the required user information for the client side.
* FEATURE: reduce avatar sizes to 6 from 20
This PR introduces 3 changes:
1. SiteSetting.avatar_sizes, now does what is says on the tin.
previously it would introduce a large number of extra sizes, to allow for
various DPIs. Instead we now trust the admin with the size list.
2. When `avatar_sizes` changes, we ensure consistency and remove resized
avatars that are not longer allowed per site setting. This happens on the
12 hourly job and limited out of the box to 20k cleanups per cycle, given
this may reach out to AWS 20k times to remove things.
3.Our default avatar sizes are now "24|48|72|96|144|288" these sizes were
very specifically picked to limit amount of bluriness introduced by webkit.
Our avatars are already blurry due to 1px border, so this corrects old blur.
This change heavily reduces storage required by forums which simplifies
site moves and more.

Privacy Policy and Terms of Service topics are no longer created by
default for communities that have not set a company name. For this
reason, some URLs were pointing to 404 page.
Allow admins to edit Community section. This includes drag and drop reorder, change names, delete and reset to default.
Visual improvements introduced in edit community section modal are available in edit custom section form as well. For example:
- drag and drop links to change their position;
- smaller icon picker.
When a user chooses to move a topic/message to an existing topic/message, they can now opt to merge the posts chronologically (using a checkbox in the UI).
What is this change required?
I noticed that actions in `SidebarSectionsController` resulted in
lots of N+1 queries problem and I wanted a solution to
prevent such problems without having to write N+1 queries tests. I have
also used strict loading for `SidebarSection` queries in performance
sensitive spots.
Note that in this commit, I have also set `config.active_record.action_on_strict_loading_violation = :log`
for the production environment so that we have more visibility of
potential N+1 queries problem in the logs. In development and test
environment, we're sticking with the default of raising an error.
Legal topics, such as the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy topics
do not make sense if the entity creating the community is not a company.
These topics will be created and updated only when the company name is
present and deleted when it is not.
The welcome topic user tip was for admins only, but in general, user
tips should be used for guiding new users through the features that
Discourse offers. For this reason, we decided to remove the user tip.
This commit also includes a few more copy tweaks to the welcome topic.
We have been struggling lately finding site settings due to 30 setting limit
This was introduced for performance reasons a while back but is no longer as
needed given that ember is faster.
Additionally searching is hard, so allow people to use fuzzy search against
setting name.
* FIX: Displaying the wrong number of minimum tags in the composer
When the minimum number of tags set for the category is larger than the minimum number of tags
set in the category tag-groups, the composer was displaying the wrong value.
This commit fixes the value displayed in the composer to show the max value between the required
for the category and the tag-groups set for the category.
This bug was reported on Meta in https://meta.discourse.org/t/tags-from-multiple-tag-groups-required-only-suggest-select-at-least-one-tag/263817
* FIX: Limiting tags in categories not working as expected
When a category was restricted to a tag group A, which was set to only allow
one tag from the group per topic, selecting a tag belonging only to A returned
other tags from A that also belonged to other group/s (if any).
Example:
Tag group A: alpha, beta, gamma, epsilon, delta
Tag group B: alpha, beta, gamma
Both tag groups set to only allow one tag from the group per topic.
If Category 1 was set to only allow tags from the tag group A, and the first tag
selected was epsilon, then, because they also belonged to tag group B, the tags
alpha, beta, and gamma were still returned as valid options when they should not be.
This commit ensures that once a tag from a tag group that restricts its tags to
one per topic is selected, no other tag from this group is returned.
This bug was reported on Meta in https://meta.discourse.org/t/limiting-tags-to-categories-not-working-as-expected/263143.
* FIX: Moving topics does not prompt to add required tag for new category
When a topic moved from a category to another, the tag requirements
of the new category were not being checked.
This allowed a topic to be created and moved to a category:
- that limited the tags to a tag group, with the topic containing tags
not allowed.
- that required N tags from a tag group, with the topic not containing
the required tags.
This bug was reported on Meta in https://meta.discourse.org/t/moving-tagged-topics-does-not-prompt-to-add-required-tag-for-new-category/264138.
* FIX: Editing topics with tag groups from parents allows incorrect tagging
When there was a combination between parent tags defined in a tag group
set to allow only one tag from the group per topic, and other tag groups
relying on this restriction to combine the children tag types with the
parent tag, editing a topic could allow the user to insert an invalid
combination of these tags.
Example:
Automakers tag group: landhover, toyota
- group set to limit one tag from the group per topic
Toyota models group: land-cruiser, hilux, corolla
Landhover models group: evoque, defender, discovery
If a topic was initially set up with the tags toyota, land-cruiser it was
possible to edit it by removing the tag toyota and adding the tag landhover
and other landhover model tags like evoque for example.
In this case, the topic would end up with the tags toyota, land-cruiser,
landhover, evoque because Discourse will automatically insert the
missing parent tag toyota when it detects the tag land-cruiser.
This combination of tags would violate the restriction specified in
the Automakers tag group resulting in an invalid combination of tags.
This commit enforces that the "one tag from the group per topic"
restriction is verified before updating the topic tags and also
make sure the verification checks the compatibility of parent tags that
would be automatically inserted.
After the changes, the user will receive an error similar to:
The tags land-cruiser, landhover cannot be used simultaneously.
Please include only one of them.
- Update welcome topic copy
- Edit the welcome topic automatically when the title or description changes
- Remove “Create your Welcome Topic” banner/CTA
- Add "edit welcome topic" user tip
The issues fixed:
1. Previously all static pages (e.g. login-required landing page, /tos, /privacy, forgot-password) were wrapped in the faq-read-tracking component
2. All these pages shared one controller with methods that were relevant to one route
3. There were two route-generating functions: `static-route-builder` and `build-static-route` 🤣
4. They were using the deprecated `renderTemplate()` API
5. A slight misuse of Ember API (`controllerFor()`)
6. Small mark-faq-read related bugs
added site toggle functionality through site settings
added tests to implemented feature
Introduced suggested correction
renamed find_new_topic method and deleted click_new_topic_button method
Currently the /new-category url can be accessed by moderators, regardless of whether the Site Setting for moderators_manage_categories_and_groups is true or false.
On top of this, non authorized users can also access this page but shows errors (no 404 loaded).
Since the 404 redirect happens within Ember, we need to allow the site setting value to be accessed within JS.
After this change all non admin users will see a 404 for this route, the exception being moderators if the moderators_manage_categories_and_groups setting has a value of true.

* DEV: move sidebar community section to database
Before, community section was hard-coded. In the future, we are planning to allow admins to edit it. Therefore, it has to be moved to database to `custom_sections` table.
Few steps and simplifications has to be made:
- custom section was hidden behind `enable_custom_sidebar_sections` feature flag. It has to be deleted so all forums, see community section;
- migration to add `section_type` column to sidebar section to show it is a special type;
- migration to add `segment` column to sidebar links to determine if link should be displayed in primary section or in more section;
- simplify more section to have one level only (secondary section links are merged);
- ensure that links like `everything` are correctly tracking state;
- make user an anonymous links position consistence. For example, from now on `faq` link for user and anonymous is visible in more tab;
- delete old community-section template.
