In the previous commit, we introduced the `page_view_legacy_total_reqs`
report. However this was not tested properly, and due to a typo
the report returned no data.
This commit fixes the issue and adds a spec to catch this.
The `categories_only_optimized` category page style has been introduced
in commit d37a0d401c. This commit makes
sure that style is enforced for users who can see over 1000 categories
in order to keep `/categories` page functional.
This commit adds a new "Invite" link to the sidebar for all users who can invite to the site. Clicking the link opens the invite modal without changing the current route the user is on. Admins can customize the new link or remove it entirely if they wish by editing the sidebar section.

Adds a new site setting and corresponding user preference
to disable smart lists. By default they are enabled, because
this is a better experience for most users. A small number of
users would prefer to not have this enabled.
Smart lists automatically append new items to each
list started in the composer when enter is pressed. If
enter is pressed on an empty list item, it is cleared.
This setting will be removed when the new composer is complete.
This commit allows themes to define up to 2 screenshots
in about.json. These should be paths within the theme's
git repository, images with a 1MB max file size and max width 3840x2160.
These screenshots will be downloaded and stored against a theme
field, and we will use these in the redesigned theme grid UI.
These screenshots will be updated when the theme is updated
in the same way the additional theme files are.
For now this is gated behind a hidden `theme_download_screenshots`
site setting, to allow us to test this on a small number of sites without
making other sites make unnecessary uploads.
**Future considerations:**
* We may want to have a specialized naming system for screenshots. E.g. having light.png/dark.png/some_palette.png
* We may want to show more than one screenshot for the theme, maybe in a carousel or reacting to dark mode or color palette changes
* We may want to allow clicking on the theme screenshot to show a lightbox
* We may want to make an optimized thumbnail image for the theme grid

When we added the Revise... option for posts/new topics
in the review queue, which sends a PM to the user, we used
`SystemMessage.create_from_system_user`, which always sends
the PM from the system user. However, this makes it so if the
user replies to the PM, which they are encouraged to do,
no one will see it unless they actively monitor the system inbox.
This commit changes it so `SystemMessage.create` is used,
which uses the `site_contact_username` and `site_contact_group`
site settings as participants in the sent PM. Then, when the
user replies, it will send to that inbox instead.
If `site_contact_username` is blank, the system user is used.
Background
When creating webhooks on a site without the Discourse Category Experts plugin installed, the category_experts_unapproved_event and category_experts_approved_event webhook events are getting automatically added to webhooks without a way to disable them.
The category_experts_unapproved_event and category_experts_approved_event webhook events are associated with the Discourse Category Experts plugin so I am moving these webhook events into the Category Experts plugin.
Changes
This PR deletes Category Experts plugin specific webhook event types added into core.
The new style is called `categories_only_optimized` and it is designed
to show only the parent categories, without any subcategories. This
works best for communities with many categories (over a thousand).
As part of #29272 we made a unique index work on PG13 by introducing a dummy string to represent "NULL".
We missed one spot, leading to a potential for duplicate admin notices for problems without a target.
This fixes that.
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.
* FIX: participating users statistics...
... was (mis-)counting
- bots
- anonymous users
- suspended users
There's now a "valid_users" function that holds the AR query for valid users and which is used in all "users", "active_users", and "participating_users" queries.
Internal ref - t/138435
We're seeing errors in logs due to some sites setting the reserved_usernames setting to nil. This is causing multiple use cases upstream of User#reserved_username? to error out.
This commit changes from using the raw #reserved_usernames to using the #reserved_usernames_map helper which exists on list-type site settings. It returns an empty array if the raw value is nil or empty string.
In #29169 we added a NULLS NOT DISTINCT option to the unique index on problem_check_trackers. This is to enforce uniqueness even when the target is NULL. (Postgres considers all NULLs to be distinct by default.)
However, this only works in PG15. In PG13 it does nothing.
This commit adds a default dummy string value __NULL__ to target. Since it's a string, PG13 will be able to correctly identify duplicate records.
We're expecting the period param to be something that neatly coerces into a symbol. If we receive something like a nested parameter, this will blow up.
This commit raises an InvalidParameters exception in the case of a non-stringy period parameter.
The subcategories page was not paginated and it was using the
subcategory style from the category settings. The same page style should
be used for categories and subcategories page.
Theme modifiers can now be defined as theme settings, this allows for
site operators to override behavior of theme modifiers.
New syntax is:
```
{
...
"modifiers": {
"modifier_name": {
"type": "setting",
"value": "setting_name"
}
}
}
```
This also introduces a new theme modifier for serialize_post_user_badges. Name of badge must match the name of the badge in the badges table. The client-side is updated to load this new data from the post-stream serializer.

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.
The `id` column of `notifications` table and `notification_id` columns
of the other tables have been migrated to bigint in previous commits
(for example, 799a45a).
In order to run the migrations with zero downtime, the data had to be
copied to new columns and swapped, but the old columns have been kept
to allow for rollback. They are no longer needed now.
* Add migrations to ensure password hash is synced across users & user_passwords
* Persist password-related data in user_passwords instead of users
* Merge User#expire_old_email_tokens with User#expire_tokens_if_password_changed
* Add post deploy migration to mark password-related columns from users table as read-only
* Refactored UserPassword#confirm_password? and changes required to accommodate hashing the password after validations
`Date.today` relies on the system's timezone instead of
`Rails.configuration.time_zone`. This can cause tests to fail when we
assert against the date of a record. Just use `Time.zone.today` instead
so that we always follow `Rails.configuration.time_zone`.
Because of unreliability, the spec was temporarily disabled. However, it is ensuring that the custom flags system is working correctly. Therefore it would be great to enable it again.
I made a few fixes to try to mitigate this situation:
- Reduced amount of Redis calls;
- When deleting, ensure that the modal is closed before checking the result;
- Moved duplicated name tests to a separate block;
- Increased wait time to 3 times the default because I noticed that sometimes it gets stuck for a moment. Most of the time it is fast, but sometimes when I run tests in a loop 50 times I see slowness.
When a post has some replies, and the user click on the button to show them, we would load ALL the replies. This could lead to DoS if there were a very large number of replies.
This adds support for pagination to these post replies.

FIX: Duplicated parent posts
DEV: Query refactor
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
When running checks, we look to the existing problem check trackers and try to grab their ProblemCheck classes.
In some cases this is no longer in the problem check repository, e.g. when the check was part of a plugin that has been uninstalled.
In the case where the check was scheduled, this would lead to an error in one of the jobs
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.
Anonymous users are "shadow" users created when an existing real user desires to post anonymously. This feature is off by default, but it can be enabled via the `allow_anonymous_posting` site setting. Those shadow users shouldn't be included in the users directory (`/u`).
In 14cf8eacf1, we added the
`user_search_similar_results` site setting which when enabled will use
trigram matching for similarity search in `UserSearch`. However, we
noted that adding the `index_users_on_username_lower_trgm` index is
causing the PG planner to not use the `index_users_on_username_lower`
index when the `=` operator is used against the `username_lower` column.
Based on the PG mailing list discussion where support for the `=`
operator in gist_trgm_ops was being considered, it stated that "I also have checked that btree_gist is preferred over pg_trgm gist
index for equality search." This is however quite different from reality
on our own PG clusters where the btree index is not preferred leading to
significantly slower queries when the `=` operator is used.
Since the pg_trgm gist index is only used for queries when the `user_search_similar_results` site setting
is enabled, we decided to drop the feature instead as it is hidden and
disabled by default. As such, we can consider it experiemental and drop
it without deprecation.

This was happening because another spec was adding a
report using the plugin API, but there was nothing
resetting that, so later in the reports controller
when we did Report.singleton_methods, we ended up
with another report with no translation, causing another
error.
Currently, when the custom flag has the same name as the system flag (which is disabled) then it is not displayed. To fix the problem, `custom_` prefix as `name_key` is used to distinguish between the system and the custom flag.
I considered writing a migration to fix existing custom flags name key. However, at the end of migration I would need to run rails code to reset cache `Flag.reset_flag_settings!`. I decided to skip that step as it is a very edge case. If someone has the same flag name as the system flag, then all they have to do is edit the flag and click save.
In addition, I made 2 small fixes:
- edit flag title was missing translation;
- flag form UI was not showing that description is the required field.
This commit adds a new `about_page_hidden_groups` setting to exclude members of specific groups from the admin and moderator lists on the /about page.

### 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.

Currently, categories support designating only 1 group as a moderation group on the category. This commit removes the one group limitation and makes it possible to designate multiple groups as mods on a category.
Internal topic: t/124648.
This commit introduces a new hidden site setting: `group_pm_user_limit`, default to `1000` which will raise an error when attempting to create a PM target a large group.
TagUser.rb is used to set user notification levels for a tag, we don't have a unique index on the notification level itself. This means that there might be some weird case where a user may have multiple of the same notification level on a tag.
This PR adds a migration which de-duplicates this based on defaults, where we keep the earliest record in the event there is multiple notification level per-user-per-tag.
* add data migration to keep only unexpired or most recently expired user password
* refactor to 1:1 relationship between User and UserPassword
* add migration to remove redundant indexes on user passwords
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.
This change introduces a new thread notification level allowing users to get notified when someone replies to the thread.
Users who watch a thread will get a green notification on the chat icon and a user notification (blue). User notifications are consolidated based on thread id to prevent cluttering the original users notification area.

Prior to this fix we were calling `fetch_stats` which is never checking if we have a cache entry. This call is making a lot of SQL calls, so it's better to use the cache.
The `notifications.id` has been migrated to bigint in previous commit
799a45a291. This commit migrates one of
the related columns, `user_badges.notification_id`, to `bigint`.
Follow-up to e3ae57ea7a
The previous commit added an `after_create` callback that triggers a refresh for the user directory whenever a `User` record is created. Theoretically, this approach should work, however, there's a gotcha in practice, because during a real user registration, when the `User` record is created in the database, it's not marked as active until the user verifies their email address and the user directory excludes inactive users, so the initial directory refresh triggered by the `after_create` callback becomes pointless.
To make a new user appear in the user directory immediately after sign up, we need to trigger a refresh via an `after_save` callback when they verify their email address and become active.
Prior this fix a topic created in the future could generate this exception:
```
Job exception: ERROR: a negative number raised to a non-integer power yields a complex result
```
This fix and spec should ensure we don't consider topics in the future as the rest of the `update_scores` function is doing at other places.
This check was checking the wrong scope, causing problems in certain edge conditions, for example:
1. Admin adds an "on signup" field that isn't editable after signup.
2. Admin adds a "for all users" field.
3. User goes and fills up the "for all users" field from 2.
4. User is now stuck on the required fields page without any fields showing.
With this change, we only consider "for all users" fields when asking if required custom fields are filled in.
The `notifications.id` column is the most probable column to run out of
values. This is because it is an `int` column that has only 2147483647
values and many notifications are generated on a regular basis in an
active community. This commit migrates the column to `bigint`.
These migrations do not use `ALTER TABLE ... COLUMN ... TYPE` in order
to avoid the `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE` lock on the entire table. Instead, they
create a new `bigint` column, copy the values to the new column and
then sets the new column as primary key.
Related columns (see `user_badges`, `shelved_notifications`) will
be migrated in a follow-up commit.

The change introduced above made it so the expired
bookmark reminders were cleared when using the bulk
action menu for bookmarks. However this also affected
clearing reminders for bookmarks when sending notifications.
When clearing bookmark reminders after sending notifications,
we take into account the auto delete preference:
* never - The bookmark `reminder_at` date should not be cleared,
and the bookmark is kept.
* clear_reminder - The bookmark `reminder_at` date is cleared and
the bookmark is kept
The `never` option made it so "expired" bookmark reminder show
on the user's bookmark list.
This commit fixes the change from the other commit and only
forces clearing of `reminder_at` if using the bookmark bulk
action service.

This commit implements 2 new metrics/stats in the /about page for the _estimated_ numbers of unique visitors from the EU and the rest of the world. This new feature is currently off by default, but it can be enabled by turning on the hidden `display_eu_visitor_stats` site settings via the rails console.
There are a number of assumptions that we're making here in order to estimate the number of unique visitors, specifically:
1. we're assuming that the average of page views per anonymous visitor is similar to the average number of page views that a logged-in visitor makes, and
2. we're assuming that the ratio of logged in visitors from the EU is similar to the ratio of anonymous visitors from the EU
Discourse keeps track of the number of both logged-in and anonymous page views, and also the number of unique logged-in visitors and where they're from. So with those numbers and the assumptions above, we can estimate the number of unique anonymous visitors from the EU and the rest of the world.
Internal topic: t/128480.
We need a way to disable certain checks programatically, e.g. on Discourse hosting. This PR adds a configuration option for this, and makes it so that disabled checks aren't run as part of #run_all.
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.
Internal topic: t/130014.
### 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
```

This commit continues on work laid out by 6039b513fe to redesign the /about page. In this commit, we add the site age and a section on the right hand side to show site activities/statistics such as topics, posts, sign-ups, likes etc.
Following a recent refactor, some methods from `FlagSettings` have been
renamed (`custom_types` -> `additional_message_types`). The
`PostActionType` model was using `custom_types` but when the renaming
was done, it was renamed to `with_additional_message` instead of
`additional_message_types`, which under the right circumstances will
raise an error.
Admin can create up to 50 custom flags. It is limited for performance reasons.
When the limit is reached "Add button" is disabled and backend is protected by guardian.
We support a low-level construct called "inline checks", which you can use to register a problem ad-hoc from within application code.
Problems registered by inline checks never show up in the admin dashboard, this is because when loading the dashboard, we run all realtime checks and look for problems. Because of an oversight, we considered inline checks to be "realtime", causing them to be run and clear their problem status.
To fix this, we don't consider inline checks to be realtime, to prevent them from running when loading the admin dashboard.
When creating a shared draft, we're recording topic view stats on the draft and then pass those on when the draft is published, conflating the actual view count.
This fixes that by not registering topic views if the topic is a shared draft.
When `SiteSetting.review_every_post` is true and the category `require_topic_approval` system creates two reviewable items.
1. Firstly, because the category needs approval, the `ReviewableQueuePost` record` is created - at this stage, no topic is created.
2. Admin is approving the review. The topic and first post are created.
3. Because `review_every_post` is true `queue_for_review_if_possible` callback is evaluated and `ReviewablePost` is created.
4. Then `ReviewableQueuePost` is linked to the newly generated topic and post.
At the beginning, we were thinking about hooking to those guards:
```
def self.queue_for_review_if_possible(post, created_or_edited_by)
return unless SiteSetting.review_every_post
return if post.post_type != Post.types[:regular] || post.topic.private_message?
return if Reviewable.pending.where(target: post).exists?
...
```
And add something like
```
return if Reviewable.approved.where(target: post).exists?
```
However, because the callback happens in point 3. before the `ReviewableQueuePost` is linked to the `Topic`, it was not possible.
Therefore, when `ReviewableQueuePost` is creating a `Topic`, a new option called `:reviewed_queued_post` is passed to `PostCreator` to avoid creating a second `Reviewable`.

* FIX: Ensure JsLocaleHelper to obly outputs up-to-date translations
The old implementation forgot to filter out deprecated
translations, causing these translations to incorrectly override the new
locale in the frontend.
This commit fills in the forgotten where clause, filtering only the
up-to-date part.
Related meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/outdated-translation-replacement-causing-missing-translation/314352
Currently, when adding translation overrides, values aren’t validated
for MF strings. This results in being able to add invalid plural keys or
even strings containing invalid syntax.
This patch addresses this issue by compiling the string when saving an
override if the key is detected as an MF one.
If there’s an error from the compiler, it’s added to the model errors,
which in turn is displayed to the user in the admin UI, helping them to
understand what went wrong.
* FIX: Add post id to the anchor to prevent two identical anchors
We generate anchors for headings in posts. This works fine if there is
only one post in a topic with anchors. The problem comes when you have
two or more posts with the same heading. PrettyText generates anchors
based on the heading text using the raw context of each post, so it is
entirely possible to generate the same anchor for two posts in the same
topic, especially for topics with template replies
Post1:
# heading
context
Post2:
# heading
context
When both posts are on the page at the same time, the anchor will only
work for the first post, according to the [HTML specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsing-the-web.html#scroll-to-the-fragment-identifier).
> If there is an a element in the document tree whose root is document
> that has a name attribute whose value is equal to fragment, then
> return the *first* such element in tree order.
This bug is particularly serious in forums with non-Latin languages,
such as Chinese. We do not generate slugs for Chinese, which results in
the heading anchors being completely dependent on their order.
```ruby
[2] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文")
=> "<h1><a name=\"h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
Therefore, the anchors in the two posts must be in exactly the same by
order, causing almost all of the anchors in the second post to be
invalid.
This commit solves this problem by adding the `post_id` to the anchor.
The new anchor generation method will add `p-{post_id}` as a prefix when
post_id is available:
```ruby
[3] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文", post_id: 1234)
=> "<h1><a name=\"p-1234-h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#p-1234-h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
This way we can ensure that each anchor name only appears once on the
same topic. Using post id also prevents the potential possibility of the
same anchor name when splitting/merging topics.
Previously in these 2 PRs, we introduced a new site setting `SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27674
When disabled, it should enforce 2FA for local login with username and password and skip the requirement when authenticating with oauth2.
We stored information about the login method in a secure session but it is not reliable. Therefore, information about the login method is moved to the database.
