If a plugin's JS fails to load for some reason, most commonly
ad blockers, the entire admin interface would break. This is because
we are adding links to the admin routes for plugins that define
them in the sidebar.
We have a fix for this already in the plugin list which shows a warning
to the admin. This fix just prevents the broken link from rendering
in the sidebar if the route is not valid.
There have been too many flaky tests as a result of leaking state in
Redis so it is easier to resolve them by ensuring we flush Redis'
database.
Locally on my machine, calling `Discourse.redis.flushdb` takes around
0.1ms which means this change will have very little impact on test
runtimes.
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.
Currently, `FlagSerializer#short_description` properly provides
`base_path` to its translations, but `FlagSerializer#description` does
not. This breaks the link to guidelines when flagging a post, for
example.
This patch provides `base_path` for `FlagSerializer#description` too.
This commit improves `TopicsController#show` to not load suggested and
related topics unless it is the last page of the topic's view.
Previously, we avoided loading suggested and related topics by the use
of conditionals in the `TopicViewSerializer` to avoid calling
`TopicView#suggested_topics` and `TopicView#related_topics`. However,
this pattern is not reliable as the methods can still be called from
other spots in the code base. Instead, we ensure that
`TopicView#include_suggested` and `TopicView#include_related` is set
correctly on the instance of `TopicView` which ensures that for the
given instance, `TopicView#suggested_topics` and
`TopicView#related_topics` will be a noop.
This commit fixes two codepaths which where incorrectly working with capitalized usernames as we were doing a mix of username_lower and non lower username.
Also adds two specs for these cases.
### 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
```

end
```
Currently, descriptions for flag types aren’t interpolated, returning
`%{base_path}` in their string, for example. This breaks the navigation
on the sites.
The behavior changed probably because of an upgrade of Ruby, as two
hashes were passed to `I18n.t` (`vars` and `default`) without using the
splat operator.
The user serializer groups method previously relied on the members_visible_groups to determine groups that the user should be able to see, however this setting was intended for visibility of group members (which is entirely different).
The result of this could be seen when choosing a primary group from user preferences -> account, due to the serializer the group name was not visible when members_visible_groups was set to owners.
Instead of the deprecated 'min trust level to allow ignore' in order to reduce the number of deprecation notices in the logs.
This tweaks a few serializers so that the 'can_ignore_users?` property is always coming from the server and properly used on the client-side.
In some instances, the `modifications` of `tags` hasn't been properly serialized as a Ruby array but rather as a string (I've seen `""`, `"[]"`, and `"[\"\"]"`).
This generates an error when we try to `filter_tags` and remove `hidden_tags` (which is an array) from `tags` which might be a string.

I wasn't able to figure out the root cause of this so I reverted the behavior that was introduced ~6 years ago in f2c060bdf2
For plugins with only an "enabled" site setting, it doesn't
make sense to take them to the site settings page, since the
toggle switch in the list can be used to change enabled/disabled.
This will not be the case for plugins that have their own custom
config page (like Automation), but we will deal with this when
we actually overhaul this plugin to use the new show page.
Also adds another rspec fixture of a test plugin.
- FIX: properly scope category changes to what the current user can see
- UX: previous category is now highlighted in "red", new category is highlighted in "green"
- PERF: no need to serialize the categories
- FIX: properly track wiki
- FIX: properly track post_type (aka. Staff Color)
- FIX: properly track making a topic a PM
- FIX: never show the category changes when a topic is made a PM
- PERF: post_revision serializer is now more leaner (never includes title changes when post_number > 1, never includes user changes if there aren't any)
- UX: always sort the tags by name
Why this change?
In cdba864598, we added support for adding
a description which will be displayed under the input of each property
on the client side.
Currently this convention in the locale file is followed:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
objects_setting:
description: <description> for the setting
schema:
properties:
name: <description for the name property>
links:
name: <description for the name property in link>
url: <description for the url property in link>
```
Since we now want to allow the label to be translated as well, we will
be changing the convention to the following:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
objects_setting:
description: <description> for the setting
schema:
properties:
name:
label: <label for the name property>
description: <description for the name property>
links:
name:
label: <label for the name property>
description: <description for the name property in link>
url:
label: <label for the url property>
description: <description for the url property in link>
```
If the locale file does not provide a `label` key under the property's
name, the client side will just display the property's name as the
label for the input field.
Why this change?
This is a follow-up to 86b2e3aa3e.
Basically, we want to allow people to select more than 1 category as well.
What does this change do?
1. Change `type: category` to `type: categories` and support `min` and `max`
validations for `type: categories`.
2. Fix the `<SchemaThemeSetting::Types::Categories>` component to support the
`min` and `max` validations and switch it to use the `<CategorySelector>` component
instead of the `<CategoryChooser>` component which only supports selecting one category.
Why this change?
Previously, we were preloading the necessary metadata for
`adminCustomizeThemes.show.schema` route in the
`adminCustomizeThemes.show` route. This is wasteful because we're
loading data upfront when the objects setting editor may not be used.
This change also lays the ground work for a future commit where we need
to be shipping down additional metadata which may further add to the
payload.
Why this change?
When editing a objects typed theme setting, the input fields which are
rendered should include a description so that the user knows the purpose
of the field which they are changing.
What does this change do?
This change adds support for adding description to each property in the
schema for an object by following a given convention in the locale file.
For a schema like this:
```
objects_setting:
type: objects
schema:
name: section
properties:
name:
type: string
required: true
links:
type: objects
schema:
name: link
properties:
name:
type: string
required: true
validations:
max_length: 20
url:
type: string
```
Description for each property in the object can be added like so:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
objects_setting:
description: <description> for the setting
schema:
properties:
name: <description for the name property>
links:
name: <description for the name property in link>
url: <description for the url property in link>
```
If the a description is not present, the input field will simply not
have an description.
Also note that a description for a theme setting can now be added like
so:
```
en:
theme_metadata:
settings:
some_other_setting: <This will be used as the description>
objects_setting:
description: <This will also be used as the description>
```
Why this change?
The `/admin/customize/themes/:id/schema/name` route is a work in
progress but we want to be able to start navigating to it from the
`/admin/customize/themes/:id` route.
What does this change do?
1. Move `adminCustomizeThemes.schema` to a child route of
`adminCustomizeThemes.show`. This is because we need the model
from the parent route and if it isn't a child route we end up
having to load the theme model again from the server.
1. Add the `objects_schema` attribute to `ThemeSettingsSerializer`
1. Refactor `SiteSettingComponent` to be able to render a button
so that we don't have to hardcode the button rendering into the
`SiteSettings::String` component
Users can hide their public profile and presence information by checking
“Hide my public profile and presence features” on the
`u/{username}/preferences/interface` page. In that case, we also don't
want to return user status from the server.
This work has been started in https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/23946.
The current PR fixes all the remaining places in Core.
Note that the actual fix is quite simple – a5802f484d.
But we had a fair amount of duplication in the code responsible for
the user status serialization, so I had to dry that up first. The refactoring
as well as adding some additional tests is the main part of this PR.
When "lazy load categories" is enabled, only the categories present in
the sidebar are preloaded. This is insufficient because the parent
categories are necessary too for the sidebar to be rendered properly.
This fixes a bug where the sidebar categories would not be loaded when
the categories were lazy loaded because the sidebar uses the preloaded
category list, which was empty.
We have all these calls to Group.refresh_automatic_groups! littered throughout the tests. Including tests that are seemingly unrelated to groups. This is because automatic group memberships aren't fabricated when making a vanilla user. There are two places where you'd want to use this:
You have fabricated a user that needs a certain trust level (which is now based on group membership.)
You need the system user to have a certain trust level.
In the first case, we can pass refresh_auto_groups: true to the fabricator instead. This is a more lightweight operation that only considers a single user, instead of all users in all groups.
The second case is no longer a thing after #25400.
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_post_links site setting to post_links_allowed_groups.
This isn't used by any of our plugins or themes, so very little fallout.
Categories will no longer be preloaded when `lazy_load_categories` is
enabled through PreloadStore.
Instead, the list of site categories will continue to be populated
by `Site.updateCategory` as more and more categories are being loaded
from different sources (topic lists, category selectors, etc).
We're changing the implementation of trust levels to use groups. Part of this is to have site settings that reference trust levels use groups instead. It converts the min_trust_to_flag_posts site setting to flag_post_allowed_groups.
Note: In the original setting, "posts" is plural. I have changed this to "post" singular in the new setting to match others.
This change converts the min_trust_to_create_topic site setting to
create_topic_allowed_groups.
