We currently remove the splash screen once Discourse starts booting.
This can be an issue on very slow devices, which can take up to 6 seconds. This PR ensures that we don't remove the splash until the browser has finished parsing all of the site's assets. It won't impact fast devices.

This commit does six things
* changes the animation for the splash screen. To a more subtle animation.
* defers displaying the splash by 1.5 seconds
* defers displaying the splash "loading" text by 2.5 seconds
* defers removing the splash until all Discourse initializers have run
* fixes a display issue in Firefox
* Inlines the SVG as a base64 and inlines the required CSS.
The encoded SVG is hard coded for now, but we will use a helper to generate that based on the file after some testing.
This PR introduces a new hidden site setting that allows admins to display a splash screen while site assets load.
The splash screen can be enabled via the `splash_screen` hidden site setting.
This is what the splash screen currently looks like
5ceb72f085.mp4
Once site assets load, the splash screen is automatically removed.
To control the loading text that shows in the splash screen, you can change the preloader_text translation string in admin > customize > text
On the password_reset error screen, it was totally unused
On the show_confirm_new_email screen, we can load the `vendor` bundle instead. Eventually we should move all this logic into the Ember app
Similar to #17145
This commit moves the SVG sprite container to the <discourse-assets> element.
There is 0 visual or functional changes in this PR. It just tidies up the element view in devTools.
This PR introduces 0 visual or functional changes. The only thing that it changes is that it moves the data-preloaded div (which has the app boot json into the <discourse-assets> element.
See #17078 for a bit more context.
The reason behind this change is that it makes devTools element view a little bit less cluttered.
This is related to #17063 and is also a pre-request for the splash screen work.
This PR introduces 0 visual or functional changes. It just relocates the stylesheets in the load order.
`.css` stylesheets block the browser render. We need to move those out of the <head> tag.
However, they still need to be loaded before core/plugin/theme rendered HTML to avoid FOUC.
This is pre-request work to introduce a splash screen while site assets load.
The only change this commit introduces is that it ensures we add the defer attribute to core/plugin/theme .JS files. This will allow us to insert markup before the browser starts evaluating those scripts later on. It has no visual or functional impact on core.
This will not have any impact on how themes and plugins work. The only exception is themes loading external scripts in the </head> theme field directly via script tags. Everything will work the same but those would need to add the defer attribute if they want to keep the benefits introduced in this PR.
This commit migrates all bookmarks to be polymorphic (using the
bookmarkable_id and bookmarkable_type) columns. It also deletes
all the old code guarded behind the use_polymorphic_bookmarks setting
and changes that setting to true for all sites and by default for
the sake of plugins.
No data is deleted in the migrations, the old post_id and for_topic
columns for bookmarks will be dropped later on.
The title had to be added both on the 404 page generated by the server
side, displayed when the user reaches a bad page directly and the 404
page rendered by Ember when a user reaches a missing topic while
navigating the forum.
We have a .ics endpoint for user bookmarks, this
commit makes it so polymorphic bookmarks work on
that endpoint, using the serializer associated with
the RegisteredBookmarkable.
- Make proxy pass `x-forward...` headers, so that Rails can set the host/port correctly in the csp
- Make `testem.js` available on a route which is within the app's default CSP
Previously, accessing the Rails app directly in development mode would give you assets from our 'legacy' Ember asset pipeline. The only way to run with Ember CLI assets was to run ember-cli as a proxy. This was quite limiting when working on things which are bypassed when using the ember-cli proxy (e.g. changes to `application.html.erb`). Also, since `ember-auto-import` introduced chunking, visiting `/theme-qunit` under Ember CLI was failing to include all necessary chunks.
This commit teaches Sprockets about our Ember CLI assets so that they can be used in development mode, and are automatically collected up under `/public/assets` during `assets:precompile`. As a bonus, this allows us to remove all the custom manifest modification from `assets:precompile`.
The key changes are:
- Introduce a shared `EmberCli.enabled?` helper
- When ember-cli is enabled, add ember-cli `/dist/assets` as the top-priority Rails asset directory
- Have ember-cli output a `chunks.json` manifest, and teach `preload_script` to read it and append the correct chunks to their associated `afterFile`
- Remove most custom ember-cli logic from the `assets:precompile` step. Instead, rely on Rails to take care of pulling the 'precompiled' assets into the `public/assets` directory. Move the 'renaming' logic to runtime, so it can be used in development mode as well.
- Remove fingerprinting from `ember-cli-build`, and allow Rails to take care of things
Long-term, we may want to replace Sprockets with the lighter-weight Propshaft. The changes made in this commit have been made with that long-term goal in mind.
tldr: when you visit the rails app directly, you'll now be served the current ember-cli assets. To keep these up-to-date make sure either `ember serve`, or `ember build --watch` is running. If you really want to load the old non-ember-cli assets, then you should start the server with `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`. (the legacy asset pipeline will be removed very soon)
* FEATURE: Let sites add a sitemap.xml file.
This PR adds the same features discourse-sitemap provides to core. Sitemaps are only added to the robots.txt file if the `enable_sitemap` setting is enabled and `login_required` disabled.
After merging discourse/discourse-sitemap#34, this change will take priority over the sitemap plugin because it will disable itself. We're also using the same sitemaps table, so our migration won't try to create it
again using `if_not_exists: true`.
These were originally very similar, but have diverged over time. This makes it very difficult to manage styling.
This commit moves the noscript header and footer into partials so they can be reused in both the crawler view and the `<noscript>` view. It also makes browser-update render the noscript content **instead of** the `<section id='main'>`, rather than adding adding the noscript inside the `<section>`. This provides better parity with the server-rendered crawler view.
- Ensure the set of rendered `<link rel=stylesheet>` tags is consistent
- Add var() references for all crawler-view styles. Basic color definitions are defined first, as a fallback for super old browsers
* FEATURE: use canonical links in posts.rss feed
Previously we used non canonical links in posts.rss
These links get crawled frequently by crawlers when discovering new
content forcing crawlers to hop to non canonical pages just to end up
visiting canonical pages
This uses up expensive crawl time and adds load on Discourse sites
Old links were of the form:
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43/21`
New links are of the form
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43?page=2#post_21`
This also adds a post_id identified element to crawler view that was
missing.
Note, to avoid very expensive N+1 queries required to figure out the
page a post is on during rss generation, we cache that information.
There is a smart "cache breaker" which ensures worst case scenario is
a "page drift" - meaning we would publicize a post is on page 11 when
it is actually on page 10 due to post deletions. Cache holds for up to
12 hours.
Change only impacts public post RSS feeds (`/posts.rss`)
This makes a small improvement to 'cold cache' ember-cli build times, and a large improvement to 'warm cache' build times
The ember-auto-import update means that vendor is now split into multiple files for efficiency. These are named `chunk.*`, and should be included immediately after the `vendor.js` file. This commit also updates the rails app to render script tags for these chunks.
This change was previously merged, and caused memory-related errors on RAM-constrained machines. This was because Webpack 5 switches from multiple worker processes to a single multi-threaded process. This meant that it was hitting node's default heap size limit (~500mb on a 1GB RAM server). Discourse's standard install procedure recommends adding 2GB swap to 1GB-RAM machines, so we can afford to override's Node's default via the `--max-old-space-size` flag.
This reverts commit f4c6a61855 and a8325c9016
This update of ember-auto-import and webpack causes significantly higher memory use during rebuilds. This made ember-cli totally unusable on 1GB RAM / 2GB swap environments. We don't have a specific need for this upgrade right now, so reverting for now.

This reverts commit 2c7906999a.
The changes break some things in local development (putting JS files
into minified files, not allowing debugger, and others)
This reverts commit ea84a82f77.
This is causing problems with `/theme-qunit` on legacy, non-ember-cli production sites. Reverting while we work on a fix
This is quite complex as it means that in production we have to build
Ember CLI test files and allow them to be used by our Rails application.
There is a fair bit of glue we can remove in the future once we move to
Ember CLI completely.
A plugin API that allows customizing existing topic-backed static pages, like:
faq, tos, privacy (see: StaticController) The block passed to this
method has to return a SiteSetting name that contains a topic id.
```
add_topic_static_page("faq") do |controller|
current_user&.locale == "pl" ? "polish_faq_topic_id" : "faq_topic_id"
end
```
You can also add new pages in a plugin, but remember to add a route,
for example:
```
get "contact" => "static#show", id: "contact"
```
Under some conditions, these varied responses could lead to cache poisoning, hence the 'security' label.
Previously the Rails application would serve JSON data in place of HTML whenever Ember CLI requested an `application.html.erb`-rendered page. This commit removes that logic, and instead parses the HTML out of the standard response. This means that Rails doesn't need to customize its response for Ember CLI.
We have a couple of site setting, `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` and `slow_down_crawler_rate`, that are meant to allow site owners to signal to specific crawlers that they're crawling the site too aggressively and that they should slow down.
When a crawler is added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting, Discourse currently adds a `Crawl-delay` directive for that crawler in `/robots.txt`. Unfortunately, many crawlers don't support the `Crawl-delay` directive in `/robots.txt` which leaves the site owners no options if a crawler is crawling the site too aggressively.
This PR replaces the `Crawl-delay` directive with proper rate limiting for crawlers added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list. On every request made by a non-logged in user, Discourse will check the User Agent string and if it contains one of the values of the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list, Discourse will only allow 1 request every N seconds for that User Agent (N is the value of the `slow_down_crawler_rate` setting) and the rest of requests made within the same interval will get a 429 response.
The `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting becomes quite dangerous with this PR since it could rate limit lots if not all of anonymous traffic if the setting is not used appropriately. So to protect against this scenario, we've added a couple of new validations to the setting when it's changed:
1) each value added to setting must 3 characters or longer
2) each value cannot be a substring of tokens found in popular browser User Agent. The current list of prohibited values is: apple, windows, linux, ubuntu, gecko, firefox, chrome, safari, applewebkit, webkit, mozilla, macintosh, khtml, intel, osx, os x, iphone, ipad and mac.
This commit adds token_hash and scopes columns to email_tokens table.
token_hash is a replacement for the token column to avoid storing email
tokens in plaintext as it can pose a security risk. The new scope column
ensures that email tokens cannot be used to perform a different action
than the one intended.
To sum up, this commit:
* Adds token_hash and scope to email_tokens
* Reuses code that schedules critical_user_email
* Refactors EmailToken.confirm and EmailToken.atomic_confirm methods
* Periodically cleans old, unconfirmed or expired email tokens
We have two JS assets which are included in the `<body>` of responses. We were including the `<link rel='preload'` hint alongside the script tag in the body. Instead, we can move the preload hint to the `<head>` so that the browser discovers it earlier, and can start preloading the assets while the body is loading.
