At this moment, this feature is under a site setting named
lazy_load_categories.
In the future, categories will no longer be preloaded through site data.
This commit add information about categories in topic list and ensures
that data is used to display topic list items.
Parent categories are serialized too because they are necessary to
render {{category-link}}.
This PR adds a new toggle to switch the (new) /new list between showing topics with new replies (a.k.a unread topics), new topics, or everything mixed together.
- 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
This commit adds support for excluding categories when using the
`category:` filter with the `-` prefix. For example,
`-category:category-slug` will exclude all topics that belong to the
category with slug "category-slug" and all of its sub-categories.
To only exclude a particular category and not all of its sub-categories,
the `-` prefix can be used with the `=` prefix. For example,
`-=category:category-slug` will only exclude topics that belong to the
category with slug "category-slug". Topics in the sub-categories of
"category-slug" will still be included.
`TopicQuery#latest_results` which was being used by
`TopicQuery#list_filter` defaults to ordering by `Topic#bumped_at` in
descending order and that was taking precedent over the order scopes
being applied by `TopicsFilter`.
This commit adds support for the `created-by:<username>` query filter
which will return topics created by the specified user. Multiple
usernames can be specified by comma seperating the usernames like so:
`created-by:username1,username2`. This will filter for topics created by
either of the specified users. Multiple `created-by:<username>` can also
be composed together. `created-by:username1 created-by:username2` is
equivalent to `created-by:username1,username2`.
This commit adds support for the `in:<topic notification level>` query
filter. As an example, `in:tracking` will filter for topics that the
user is watching. Filtering for multiple topic notification levels can
be done by comma separating the topic notification level keys. For
example, `in:muted,tracking` or `in:muted,tracking,watching`.
Alternatively, the user can also compose multiple filters with `in:muted
in:tracking` which translates to the same behaviour as
`in:muted,tracking`.
The following are the changes being introduced in this commit:
1. Instead of mapping the query language to various query params on the
client side, we've decided that the benefits of having a more robust
query language far outweighs the benefits of having a more human readable query params in the URL.
As such, the `/filter` route will just accept a single `q` query param
and the query string will be parsed on the server side.
1. On the `/filter` route, the tags filtering query language is now
supported in the input per the example provided below:
```
tags:bug+feature tagged both bug and feature
tags:bug,feature tagged either bug or feature
-tags:bug+feature excluding topics tagged bug and feature
-tags:bug,feature excluding topics tagged bug or feature
```
The `tags` filter can also be specified multiple
times in the query string like so `tags:bug tags:feature` which will
filter topics that contain both the `bug` tag and `feature` tag. More
complex query like `tags:bug+feature -tags:experimental` will also work.
At the time of writing, this is how the `TopicPosterSerializer` looks
like:
```
class TopicPosterSerializer < ApplicationSerializer
attributes :extras, :description
has_one :user, serializer: PosterSerializer
has_one :primary_group, serializer: PrimaryGroupSerializer
has_one :flair_group, serializer: FlairGroupSerializer
end
```
Within `PosterSerializer`, the `primary_group` and `flair_group`
association is requested on the `user` object. However, the associations
have not been loaded on the `user` object at this point leading to the
N+1 queries problem. One may wonder
why the associations have not been loaded when the `TopicPosterSerializer`
has `has_one :primary_group` and `has_one :flair_group`. It turns out that `TopicPoster`
is just a struct containing the `user`, `primary_group` and
`flair_group` objects. The `primary_group` and `flair_group`
ActiveRecord objects are loaded seperately in `UserLookup` and not preloaded when querying for
the users. This is done for performance reason so that we are able to
load the `primary_group` and `flair_group` records in a single query
without duplication.
* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
Depends on: #18806
We have a banner that prompts to edit the welcome topic, so let's not
show it in the topic list until it has been edited. Previously this
banner covered the welcome topic, now the banner will be above the topic
list, so we need to hide the welcome topic.
* DEV: Use list controller and action
It used an empty action handler which just returned the app and it
required another request to get the topic list. By using the correct
controller and action we can preload the topic list.
* FEATURE: Hide Privacy Policy and TOS topics
As a way to simplify new sites this change will hide the privacy policy
and the TOS topics from the topic list. They can still be accessed and
edited though.
* add tests

This PR also makes it so `bot` (negative ID) and `system` users are always allowed
to send PMs, since the old conditional was just based on `enable_personal_messages`
This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
The server-side implementation had unintentionally changed to include `-{id}` at the end of the body class name. This change meant that the JS client was unaware of the class, and didn't remove it when navigating away from the category page.
This commit fixes the server-side implementation to match the client
Currently the only way to allow tagging on pms is to use the `allow_staff_to_tag_pms` site setting. We are removing that site setting and replacing it with `pm_tags_allowed_for_groups` which will allow for non staff tagging. It will be group based permissions instead of requiring the user to be staff.
If the existing value of `allow_staff_to_tag_pms` is `true` then we include the `staff` groups as a default for `pm_tags_allowed_for_groups`.
This was due to a server side bug when unicode usernames have been
enabled. We were double encoding the unicode username in the URL
resulting in a invalid URL.
It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
At this point in time, we do not think supporting unread and new when an
admin is looking at another user's messages is worth supporting.

* DEV: Return 400 instead of 500 for invalid top period
This change will prevent a fatal 500 error when passing in an invalid
period param value to the `/top` route.
* Check if the method exists first
I couldn't get `ListController.respond_to?` to work, but was still able
to check if the method exists with
`ListController.action_methods.include?`. This way we can avoid relying
on the `NoMethodError` exception which may be raised during the course
of executing the method.
* Just check if the period param value is valid
* Use the new TopTopic.validate_period method
And also move all the "top topics by period" routes to query string param.
/top/monthly => /top?period=monthly
/c/:slug/:id/l/top/monthly => /c/:slug/:id/l/top?period=monthly
/tag/:slug/l/top/daily => /tag/:slug/l/top?period=daily (new)
The server responds with a redirect to URLs with wrong slugs, even when
the slug was the correct but in the encoded form (if it contained
special characters).
* FIX: 'false' value was treated as a truthy value
For example, latest.json?no_subcategories=false used to have set
no_subcategories to the string value of 'false', which is not false.
* DEV: Remove dead code
* FIX: Redirect to /none under the right conditions
These conditions are:
- neither /all or /none present
- only for default filter
* FIX: Build correct topic list filter
/none was never added to the topic list filter
* FIX: Do not show count for subcategories if 'none' category
* FIX: preload_key must contain /none if no_subcategories
When enable_personal_messages was disabled, moderators could not see
the private messages for the "moderators" group. The link was displayed
on the client side, but the checks on the server side did not allow it.
There is a request spec that was ignored with the `xit` flag almost a
year ago and every time you generate the api docs with
```
rake rswag:specs:swaggerize
```
it shows the output of this pending test and I guess I finally got sick
of looking at it, so here is a fix for it.
