PostAnalyzer and CookedPostProcessor both replace URLs with oneboxes.
PostAnalyzer did not use the max_oneboxes_per_post site and setting and
CookedPostProcessor replaced at most max_oneboxes_per_post URLs ignoring
the oneboxes that were replaced already by PostAnalyzer.
* FEATURE: use canonical links in posts.rss feed
Previously we used non canonical links in posts.rss
These links get crawled frequently by crawlers when discovering new
content forcing crawlers to hop to non canonical pages just to end up
visiting canonical pages
This uses up expensive crawl time and adds load on Discourse sites
Old links were of the form:
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43/21`
New links are of the form
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43?page=2#post_21`
This also adds a post_id identified element to crawler view that was
missing.
Note, to avoid very expensive N+1 queries required to figure out the
page a post is on during rss generation, we cache that information.
There is a smart "cache breaker" which ensures worst case scenario is
a "page drift" - meaning we would publicize a post is on page 11 when
it is actually on page 10 due to post deletions. Cache holds for up to
12 hours.
Change only impacts public post RSS feeds (`/posts.rss`)
Our @mention user search prioritized users based on prefix matches.
So if searching for `sa` we will display `sam`, `asam` in that order
Previously, we did not prioritize group matches based on prefix. This change ensures better parity.
Implementation notes:
1. User search only prioritizes based on username prefix, not name prefix. TBD if we want to change that.
2. @mention on client side will show 0 group matches if we fill up all the spots with user matches. TBD if we want to unconditionally show the first / second group match.

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.
This allows text editors to use correct syntax coloring for the heredoc sections.
Heredoc tag names we use:
languages: SQL, JS, RUBY, LUA, HTML, CSS, SCSS, SH, HBS, XML, YAML/YML, MF, ICS
other: MD, TEXT/TXT, RAW, EMAIL
* FEATURE: upload an avatar option for uploading avatars with selectable avatars
Allow staff or users at or above a trust level to upload avatars even when the site
has selectable avatars enabled.
Everyone can still pick from the list of avatars. The option to upload is shown
below the selectable avatar list.
refactored boolean site setting into an enum with the following values:
disabled: No selectable avatars enabled (default)
everyone: Show selectable avatars, and allow everyone to upload custom avatars
tl1: Show selectable avatars, but require tl1+ and staff to upload custom avatars
tl2: Show selectable avatars, but require tl2+ and staff to upload custom avatars
tl3: Show selectable avatars, but require tl3+ and staff to upload custom avatars
tl4: Show selectable avatars, but require tl4 and staff to upload custom avatars
staff: Show selectable avatars, but only allow staff to upload custom avatars
no_one: Show selectable avatars. No users can upload custom avatars

Previously cached counting made redis calls in main thread and performed
the flush in main thread.
This could lead to pathological states in extreme heavy load.
This refactor reduces load and cleans up the interface
Previously we were publishing one messagebus message per user which was 'tracking' a topic. On large sites, this can easily be 1000+ messages. The important information in the message is common between all users, so we can manage with a single message on a shared channel, which will be much more efficient.
For user-specific values (notification_level and last_read_post_number), the JS app can infer values which are 'good enough'. Correct values will be loaded as soon as a topic-list containing the topic is visited.
aa1442fdc3 split theme stylesheets so that every component gets its own stylesheet. Therefore, there is now no need for parent themes to collate the settings/variables of its children during scss compilation.
Technically this is a breaking change for any themes which depend on the settings/variables of their child components. That was never a supported/recommended arrangement, so we don't expect this to cause issues.
If a theme is updated to introduce a new setting AND immediately make use of it in a stylesheet, then an error was being shown. This is because the stylesheet compilation was using the theme's cached settings, and the cache is only cleared **after** the theme has finished compiling.
This commit updates the SCSS compilation to use uncached values for settings. A similar fix was applied to other parts of theme compilation back in 2020: (a51b8d9c66)
The previous Discourse.cache usage was different to how other theme-related caching is handled, and also requires reaching out to redis every time. The common theme cache is held in memory (as a DistributedCache)
This commit makes sure that the email log's bounce_error_code
conforms to the SMTP error code RFC on save, so that
it is always in the format X.X.X or XXX without any
additional string details. Also included is a migration
to fix this issue for past records.
Similar site settings exist for likes and edits and the new ones work
in a similar way.
By default, users below TL2 have a limit of 20, the limit is increased
by 1.5 for TL2 users up to 30, by 2 for TL3 users up to 40 and by 3 for
TL4 users up to 60.
* 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
When parent category or grandparent category is muted, then category should be muted as well.
Still, it can be overridden by setting individual subcategory notification level.
CategoryUser record is not created, mute for subcategories is purely virtual.
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.
Previously calls such as `Emoji["smile"]` would force a full dehydration of
objects from Redis.
This introduces a version safe site and global emoji cache so lookups are
cheap. It eliminates iterating through the list of emojis and pulling from
redis.
Distributed cache uses a normalized name as the key and stores an Array tuple
with version and Emoji. Successful hits always confirm version matches.
Interface to Emoji object remains unchanged.
We opted for 2 caches to improve reuse on multisites. misses though will be
stored in both caches. If there is a hit on the global cache we can avoid
looking up in site local cache and storing a miss there.
Previously we were calling `EXPIRE` every time we incremented a given key. Instead, we can call EXPIRE once when the key is first populated. A LUA script is used to make this as efficient as possible.
Consumers of this Concern use daily keys. Since we're now calling EXPIRE only at the beginning of the day, rather than throughout the day, the expire time has been increased from 3 to 4 days.
- 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
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.

This commits adds a new advance_draft to PostCreator that controls if
the draft sequence will be advanced or not. If the draft sequence is
advanced then the old drafts will be cleared. This used to happen for
posts created by plugins or through the API and cleared user drafts
by mistake.
* 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 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.
Ensures that `UserStat#post_count` and `UserStat#topic_count` does not
go below 0. When it does like it did now, we tend to have bugs in our
code since we're usually coding with the assumption that the count isn't
negative.
In order to support the constraints, our post and topic fabricators in
tests will now automatically increment the count for the respective
user's `UserStat` as well. We have to do this because our fabricators
bypasss `PostCreator` which holds the responsibility of updating `UserStat#post_count` and
`UserStat#topic_count`.
Non-staff users are not allowed to see whisper so this change prevents
non-staff user from seeing a like count that does not make sense to
them. In the future, we might consider adding another like count column
for staff user.

* FIX: Tag watching for everyone tag groups
Tags in tag groups that have permissions set to everyone were not able
to be saved correctly. A user on their preferences page would mark the
tags that they wanted to save, but the watched_tags in the response
would be empty. This did not apply to admins, just regular users. Even
though the watched tags were being saved in the db, the user serializer
response was filtering them out. When a user refreshed their preferences
pages it would show zero watched tags.
This appears to be a regression introduced by:
0f598ca51e
The issue that needed to be fixed is that we don't track the "everyone"
group (which has an id of 0) in the group_users table. This is because
everyone has access to it, so why fill a row for every single user, that
would be a lot. The fix was to update the query to include tag groups
that had permissions set to the "everyone" group (group_id 0).
I also added another check to the existing spec for updating
watched tags for tags that aren't in a tag group so that it checks the
response body. I then added a new spec which updates watched tags for
tags in a tag group which has permissions set to everyone.
* Resolve failing tests
Improve SQL query syntax for including the "everyone" group with the id
of 0.
This commit also fixes a few failing tests that were introduced. It
turns out that the Fabrication of the Tag Group Permissions was faulty.
What happens when creating the tag groups without any permissions is
that it sets the permission to "everyone". If we then follow up with
fabricating a tag group permission on the tag group instead of having a
single permission it will have 2 (everyone + the group specified)! We
don't want this. To fix it I removed the fabrication of tag group
permissions and just set the permissions directly when creating the tag
group.
* Use response.parsed_body instead of JSON.parse
* FIX: Mark invites flash messages as HTML safe.
This change should be safe as all user inputs included in the errors are sanitized before sending it back to the client.
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/html-tags-are-explicit-after-latest-update/214220
* If somebody adds a new error message that includes user input and doesn't sanitize it, using html-safe suddenly becomes unsafe again. As an extra layer of protection, we make the client sanitize the error message received from the backend.
* Escape user input instead of sanitizing
* 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

An admin could search for all screened ip addresses in a block by
using wildcards. 192.168.* returned all IPs in range 192.168.0.0/16.
This feature allows admins to search for a single IP address in all
screened IP blocks. 192.168.0.1 returns all IP blocks that match it,
for example 192.168.0.0/16.
* FEATURE: Remove roll up button for screened IPs
* FIX: Match more specific screened IP address first
Also:
* Remove an unused method (#fill_email)
* Replace a method that was used just once (#generate_username) with `SecureRandom.alphanumeric`
* Remove an obsolete dev puma `tmp/restart` file logic
