Sometimes administrators want to permanently delete posts and topics
from the database. To make sure that this is done for a good reasons,
administrators can do this only after one minute has passed since the
post was deleted or immediately if another administrator does it.
* FEATURE: Return subcategories on categories endpoint
When using the API subcategories will now be returned nested inside of
each category response under the `subcategory_list` param. We already
return all the subcategory ids under the `subcategory_ids` param, but
you then would have to make multiple separate API calls to fetch each of
those subcategories. This way you can get **ALL** of the categories
along with their subcategories in a single API response.
The UI will not be affected by this change because you need to pass in
the `include_subcategories=true` param in order for subcategories to be
returned.
In a follow up PR I'll add the API scoping for fetching categories so
that a readonly API key can be used for the `/categories.json` endpoint. This
endpoint should be used instead of the `/site.json` endpoint for
fetching a sites categories and subcategories.
* Update PR based on feedback
- Have spec check for specific subcategory
- Move comparison check out of loop
- Only populate subcategory list if option present
- Remove empty array initialization
- Update api spec to allow null response
* More PR updates based on feedback
- Use a category serializer for the subcategory_list
- Don't include the subcategory_list param if empty
- For the spec check for the subcategory by id
- Fix spec to account for param not present when empty
After deleting a category, we should soft-delete the category definition topic instead of hard deleting it. Else it causes issues while doing the user merge action if the source user has an orphan post that belongs to the deleted topic.
When configured, all topics in the category inherits the slow mode
duration from the category's default.
Note that currently there is no way to remove the slow mode from the
topics once it has been set.
Profiling showed that we were roughly 10% of a request time creating all
the ActiveRecord objects for categories in the `Site` model on a site with 61 categories.
Instead of querying for the categories each time based on which categories the user can see,
we can just preload all of the categories upfront and filter out the
categories that the user can not see.
This PR adds a new category setting which is a column in the `categories` table, `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post`.
What this does is:
* Inside the `can_edit_post?` method of `PostGuardian`, if the current user editing a post is the owner of the post, it is the first post, and the topic's category has `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post`, then we bypass the check for `LimitedEdit#edit_time_limit_expired?` on that post.
* Also, similar to wiki topics, in `PostActionNotifier#after_create_post_revision` we send a notification to all users watching a topic when the OP is edited in a topic with the category setting `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post` enabled.
This is useful for forums where there is a Marketplace or similar category, where topics are created and then updated indefinitely by the OP rather than the OP making new topics or additional replies. In a way this acts similar to a wiki that only one person can edit.
On category create an exception will be thrown on this job because the
save transaction hasn't completed yet and the job cannot find the
category id. To prevent this we can use the rails 6 `after_save_commit`
hook that will fire after the category save transaction has finished for
both update and create actions.
DEV: Replace instances of Discourse.base_uri with Discourse.base_path
This is clearer because the base_uri is actually just a path prefix. This continues the work started in 555f467.
Previously, moving a category into another one, that already had a child category of that name (but with a non-conflicting slug) would cause a 500 error:
```
# PG::UniqueViolation:
# ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "unique_index_categories_on_name"
# DETAIL: Key (COALESCE(parent_category_id, '-1'::integer), name)=(5662, Amazing Category 0) already exists.
```
It now returns 422, and shows the same message as when you're renaming a category: "Category Name has already been taken".
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
* FEATURE: add category banner for why a user cannot post
Adds a category banner for why a user is unable to post in a category.
Also adds an extra alert for the user when a user is unable to create a topic in a
category and they still try and click on the disabled-looking new topic
button.
Previously, categories without any topics were being excluded from the UPDATE query. This means the counter gets stuck, and the category cannot be deleted. This change ensures that the counters get correctly set to zero.
