2FA support in Discourse was added and grown gradually over the years: we first
added support for TOTP for logins, then we implemented backup codes, and last
but not least, security keys. 2FA usage was initially limited to logging in,
but it has been expanded and we now require 2FA for risky actions such as
adding a new admin to the site.
As a result of this gradual growth of the 2FA system, technical debt has
accumulated to the point where it has become difficult to require 2FA for more
actions. We now have 5 different 2FA UI implementations and each one has to
support all 3 2FA methods (TOTP, backup codes, and security keys) which makes
it difficult to maintain a consistent UX for these different implementations.
Moreover, there is a lot of repeated logic in the server-side code behind these
5 UI implementations which hinders maintainability even more.
This commit is the first step towards repaying the technical debt: it builds a
system that centralizes as much as possible of the 2FA server-side logic and
UI. The 2 main components of this system are:
1. A dedicated page for 2FA with support for all 3 methods.
2. A reusable server-side class that centralizes the 2FA logic (the
`SecondFactor::AuthManager` class).
From a top-level view, the 2FA flow in this new system looks like this:
1. User initiates an action that requires 2FA;
2. Server is aware that 2FA is required for this action, so it redirects the
user to the 2FA page if the user has a 2FA method, otherwise the action is
performed.
3. User submits the 2FA form on the page;
4. Server validates the 2FA and if it's successful, the action is performed and
the user is redirected to the previous page.
A more technically-detailed explanation/documentation of the new system is
available as a comment at the top of the `lib/second_factor/auth_manager.rb`
file. Please note that the details are not set in stone and will likely change
in the future, so please don't use the system in your plugins yet.
Since this is a new system that needs to be tested, we've decided to migrate
only the 2FA for adding a new admin to the new system at this time (in this
commit). Our plan is to gradually migrate the remaining 2FA implementations to
the new system.
For screenshots of the 2FA page, see PR #15377 on GitHub.
* FIX: Don't accept accents in slug if generation_method == 'ascii'
Fixes bug reported in:
- https://meta.discourse.org/t/404-when-trying-to-edit-category-with-accent-in-slug/214762
- https://meta.discourse.org/t/formatting-and-accents-in-urls/215734/5
Assuming `SiteSetting.slug_generation_method == 'ascii'.
If the user provides a slug containing non-ascii characters while
creating the category, the user will receive a 404 error just
after saving the category since the slug will be escaped anyway but
Category.find_by_slug_path won't escape the category slug
causing the Edit Page of the category to be inaccessible.
This commit checks the provided slug and raises an error if the
provided slugcontains non-ascii characters ensuring that the
provided value is consistent with the site settings.
It also changes Category.find_by_slug_path to always escape the slug,
since if present, it is escaped anyway in Category.ensure_slug to
prevent the 404 in the Edit Category Page in case the user already
have some category with a non-ascii slug.
* Removed trailing whitespace
This can happen if the topic to which a user is invited is in a private
category and the user was not invited to one of the groups that can see
that specific category.
This used to be a warning and this commit makes it an error.
To make this possible in development mode, the `sourceURL=` implementation needs to include something plugin-specific. This has no effect on production.
The asset version is bumped in order to trigger a re-compilation of plugin JS assets.
We serve `service-worker.js` in an unusual way, which means that the sourcemap is not available on an adjacent path. This means that the browser fails to fetch the map, and shows an error in the console.
This commit re-writes the source map reference in the static_controller to be an absolute link to the asset (including the appropriate CDN, if enabled), and adds a spec for the behavior.
It's important to do this at runtime, rather than JS precompile time, so that changes to CDN configuration do not require re-compilation to take effect.
- Update UI to improve contrast
- Make it clear that the message is only shown to administrators
- Add theme name and id to the console output
- Parse the error backtrace to identify the theme-id for post-decoration errors
- Improve console output to include the theme name / URL
- Add `?safe_mode=no_custom` to the admin panel link, so that it will work even if the theme is causing the site to break
Inspired by [this suggestion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-a-here-mention/217878/3) from G Ann Campbell
> I suppose the description of the “here mention” field could be improved to something like:
> "Name used for @here mention to allow a privileged user to notify up to 10 people participating in the thread. Must not…"
Breakdown of fixes in this commit:
* `UserStat#topic_count` was not updated when visibility of
the topic changed.
* `UserStat#post_count` was not updated when post was hidden or
unhidden.
* `TopicConverter` was only incrementing or decrementing the counts by 1
even if a user has multiple posts in the topic.
* The commit turns off the verbose logging by default as it is just
noise to normal users who are not debugging this problem.

Allows to write custom code blocks:
```
```mermaid height=200,foo=bar
test
```
```
Which will then get converted to:
```
<pre data-code-wrap="mermaid" data-code-height="200" data-code-foo="bar">
<code class="lang-nohighlight">
test
</code>
</pre>
```
* FEATURE: Add external_id to topics
This commit allows for topics to be created and fetched by an
external_id. These changes are API only for now as there aren't any
front changes.
* add annotations
* add external_id to this spec
* Several PR feedback changes
- Add guardian to find topic
- 403 is returned for not found as well now
- add `include_external_id?`
- external_id is now case insensitive
- added test for posts_controller
- added test for topic creator
- created constant for max length
- check that it redirects to the correct path
- restrain external id in routes file
* remove puts
* fix tests
* only check for external_id in webhook if exists
* Update index to exclude external_id if null
* annotate
* Update app/controllers/topics_controller.rb
We need to check whether the topic is present first before passing it to the guardian.

This commit introduces our own handling and warning for Sidekiq's new 'non-json-serializable' warning. This decouples us from Sidekiq's own deprecation cycle, and allows us to use our own deprecation system. It also means that the dump/parse happens in test mode, which will help us to catch occurrences before they reach production.
This can be disabled by setting `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`, but this option will not be available for long. If your theme/plugin/site has issues under Ember CLI, please open a topic on https://meta.discourse.org
This allows plugins to override the permissions required to access
specific things like the Logster and Sidekiq web UI without the changes
leaking to the rest of Discourse routes.
This commit allows group SMTP emails to be sent with a
different from email address that has been set up as an
alias in the email provider. Emails from the alias will
be grouped correctly using Message-IDs in the mail client,
and replies to the alias go into the correct group inbox.
* Chinese segmenetation will continue to rely on cppjieba
* Japanese segmentation will use our port of TinySegmenter
* Korean currently does not rely on segmentation which was dropped in c677877e4f
* SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese_japanese_korean has been split
into SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese and
SiteSetting.search_tokenize_japanese respectively
Most of our logging goes through Rails.logger, and therefore appears in Logster at `/logs` on a site. The Sidekiq logger was bypassing this and writing directly to STDERR.
Unfortunately it's not possible to do `Sidekiq.logger = Rails.logger` because `Sidekiq#logger=` applies a number of patches to the logger instance, causing our whole logging system to break.
Instead, this commit adds a dedicated Logger instance with no output, which is then patched to forward all messages directly to `Rails.logger`
- Limit bulk re-invite to 1 time per day
- Move bulk invite by csv behind a site setting (hidden by default)
- Bump invite expiry from 30 -> 90 days
## Updates to rate_limiter
When limiting reinvites I found that **staff** are never limited in any way. So I updated the **rate_limiter** model to allow for a few things:
- add an optional param of `staff_limit`, which (when included and passed values, and the user passes `.staff?`) will override the default `max` & `secs` values and apply them to the user.
- in the case you **do** pass values to `staff_limit` but the user **does not** pass `staff?` the standard `max` & `secs` values will be applied to the user.
This should give us enough flexibility to
1. continue to apply a strict rate limit to a standard user
2. but also apply a secondary (less strict) limit to staff
This commit adds a hover effect for drag and drop in
the admin emoji uploader. It also changes the "Add New
Emoji" button to open the file selector; previously it
was useless because it was disabled unless a name was
entered (which is not even a requirement for the emoji)
and also it didn't actually do anything on click even
if it wasn't disabled.
Now we have a way of adding files without having to drag
and drop them, which is nice.
Also in this PR, there was no indication before that the upload was
complete apart from the button becoming enabled again.
This commit adds the highlight class to the emoji list
and removes it once the highlight fade animation is done,
like we do for new posts.
* FIX: Pass category and tag IDs to the emit webhook event job.
Like webhooks won't fire when they're scoped to specific categories or tags because we're not passing the data to the job that emits it.
* Update config/initializers/012-web_hook_events.rb

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.
The `plugin:pull_compatible_all` task is intended to take incompatible plugins and downgrade them to an earlier version. Problem is, when running the rake task in development/production environments, the plugins have already been activated. If an incompatible plugin raises an error in `plugin.rb` then the rake task will be unable to start.
This commit centralises our LOAD_PLUGINS detection, adds support for LOAD_PLUGINS=0 in dev/prod, and adds a warning to `plugin:pull_compatible_all` if it's run with plugins enabled.
