When autocompleting mentions in secure categories, we immediately populate the list with users which have permission to view the category. This logic is applied to unsecured categories as well, but the server returns an empty list of users. This commit teaches the autocomplete to understand empty lists of users without terminating the autocomplete dropdown.
This feature allows @ mentions to prioritize showing members of a group who
have explicit permission to a category.
This makes it far easier to @ mention group member when composing topics in
categories where only the group has access.
For example:
If Sam, Jane an Joan have access to bugs category.
Then `@` will auto complete to (jane,joan,sam) ordered on last seen at
This feature works on new topics and existing topics. There is an explicit
exclusion of trust level 0,1,2 groups cause they get too big.
Negative option was leading to a fair amount of confusion, going forward
if we want to allow selection of emails from user selector it must be
supplied with `allowEmails=true`
This corrects a regression in 1f4ace4f which broke invite by emails and
start PM to email
Following this change when a user hits `@` and is replying to a topic they
will see usernames of people who were last seen and participated in the topic
This is somewhat experimental, we may tweak this, or make it optional.
Also, a regression in a423a938 where hitting TAB would eat a post you were writing:
Eg this would eat a post:
``` text
@hello, testing 123 <tab>
```
Previously we were incorrectly checking mentionable instead of messageable
Also fix edge case where multiple groups sharing a name mean that exact match override is not working
Also cleans up params sent to user selector
