* FIX: min/max username length limits weren't validated
The custom validators introduced in e0d7cda made so we ignored the mix
and max values set on site_settings.yml. That change allowed admins to
set values outside of the range defined on the yaml file.

## Without multisite.yml config
No change. `bin/rails db:create` / `db:migrate` / `db:drop` should work the same.
## With multisite.yml config
### db:create
`bin/rails db:create` creates development, test, and all databases from the multisite config
`RAILS_DB=[site] bin/rails db:create` creates the database for the specified site from the multisite config
### db:migrate
`bin/rails db:migrate` migrates the development database and all databases from the multisite config
`RAILS_ENV=test bin/rails db:migrate` migrates the test database and `discourse_test_multisite`
`RAILS_DB=[site] bin/rails db:migrate` migrates the database for the specified site from the multisite config
### db:drop
`bin/rails db:drop` drops development, test, and all databases from the multisite config
`RAILS_DB=[site] bin/rails db:create` drops the database for the specified site from the multisite config
Before, whispers were only available for staff members.
Config has been changed to allow to configure privileged groups with access to whispers. Post migration was added to move from the old setting into the new one.
I considered having a boolean column `whisperer` on user model similar to `admin/moderator` for performance reason. Finally, I decided to keep looking for groups as queries are only done for current user and didn't notice any N+1 queries.
This PR introduces a new hidden site setting that allows admins to display a splash screen while site assets load.
The splash screen can be enabled via the `splash_screen` hidden site setting.
This is what the splash screen currently looks like
5ceb72f085.mp4
Once site assets load, the splash screen is automatically removed.
To control the loading text that shows in the splash screen, you can change the preloader_text translation string in admin > customize > text
Now that we've switched to Ember CLI, these things are no longer used.
- These sprockets manifests are superceded by the assets generated by ember cli
- These vendored scripts are now fetched by ember-auto-import at compile time
At some point in the past we decided to rename the 'regular' notification state of topics/categories to 'normal'. However, some UI copy was missed when the initial renaming was done so this commit changes the spots that were missed to the new name.
Following the Rails 7 upgrade, the `DISCOURSE_SMTP_ENABLE_START_TLS`
setting doesn’t work anymore. This is because Rails upgraded the
`net-smtp` gem to the 0.3.1 version which enables `starttls` by default.
The `mail` gem doesn’t support this new behavior yet and doesn’t know
how to disable TLS. This should be fixed in an upcoming release.
Meanwhile applying this patch allows us to get back the previous
behavior which is expected by many.
This commit introduces a new site setting: `block_hotlinked_media`. When enabled, all attempts to hotlink media (images, videos, and audio) will fail, and be replaced with a linked placeholder. Exceptions to the rule can be added via `block_hotlinked_media_exceptions`.
`download_remote_image_to_local` can be used alongside this feature. In that case, hotlinked images will be blocked immediately when the post is created, but will then be replaced with the downloaded version a few seconds later.
This implementation is purely server-side, and does not impact the composer preview.
Technically, there are two stages to this feature:
1. `PrettyText.sanitize_hotlinked_media` is called during `PrettyText.cook`, and whenever new images are introduced by Onebox. It will iterate over all src/srcset attributes in the post HTML and check if they're allowed. If not, the attributes will be removed and replaced with a `data-blocked-hotlinked-src(set)` attribute
2. In the `CookedPostProcessor`, we iterate over all `data-blocked-hotlinked-src(set)` attributes and check whether we have a downloaded version of the media. If yes, we update the src to use the downloaded version. If not, the entire media element is replaced with a placeholder. The placeholder is labelled 'external media', and is a link to the offsite media.
Twitter does not allow SVGs to be used for twitter:image
metadata (see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/overview/markup)
so we should fall back to the site logo if the image option
provided to `crawlable_meta_data` or SiteSetting.site_twitter_summary_large_image_url
is an SVG, and do not add the meta tag for twitter:image at all
if the site logo is an SVG.
Previously we hardcoded the DOWNLOAD_URL_EXPIRES_AFTER_SECONDS const
inside S3Helper to be 5 minutes (300 seconds). For various reasons,
some hosted sites may need this to be longer for other integrations.
The maximum expiry time for presigned URLs is 1 week (which is
604800 seconds), so that has been added as a validation on the
setting as well. The setting is hidden because 99% of the time
it should not be changed.
This improves the bookmark-icon title to be more like the
post bookmark icons, to include the special formatted date
as well as the name of the bookmark.
Meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/prevent-to-linkify-when-there-is-a-redirect/226964/2?u=osama.
This commit adds a new site setting `block_onebox_on_redirect` (default off) for blocking oneboxes (full and inline) of URLs that redirect. Note that an initial http → https redirect is still allowed if the redirect location is identical to the source (minus the scheme of course). For example, if a user includes a link to `http://example.com/page` and the link resolves to `https://example.com/page`, then the link will onebox (assuming it can be oneboxed) even if the setting is enabled. The reason for this is a user may type out a URL (i.e. the URL is short and memorizable) with http and since a lot of sites support TLS with http traffic automatically redirected to https, so we should still allow the URL to onebox.
This commit migrates all bookmarks to be polymorphic (using the
bookmarkable_id and bookmarkable_type) columns. It also deletes
all the old code guarded behind the use_polymorphic_bookmarks setting
and changes that setting to true for all sites and by default for
the sake of plugins.
No data is deleted in the migrations, the old post_id and for_topic
columns for bookmarks will be dropped later on.
The title had to be added both on the 404 page generated by the server
side, displayed when the user reaches a bad page directly and the 404
page rendered by Ember when a user reaches a missing topic while
navigating the forum.
22a7905f restructured how we load Ember CLI assets in production. Unfortunately, it also broke sourcemaps for those assets. This commit fixes that regression via a couple of changes:
- It adds the necessary `.map` paths to `config.assets.precompile`
- It swaps Sprockets' default `SourcemappingUrlProcessor` with an extended version which maintains relative URLs of maps
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 causing issues on some sites, having the const, because this really is heavily
dependent on upload speed. We request 5-10 URLs at a time with this endpoint; for
a 1.5GB upload with 5mb parts this could mean 60 requests to the server to get all
the part URLs. If the user's upload speed is super fast they may request all 60
batches in a minute, if it is slow they may request 5 batches in a minute.
The other external upload endpoints are not hit as often, so they can stay as constant
values for now. This commit also increases the default to 20 requests/minute.
```
Post-install message from image_optim:
Rails image assets optimization is extracted into image_optim_rails gem
You can safely remove `config.assets.image_optim = false` if you are not going to use that gem
```
Admins won't be able to disable strip_image_metadata if they don't
disable composer_media_optimization_image_enabled first since the later
will strip the same metadata on client during upload, making disabling
the former have no effect.
Bug report at https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/223350
When an admin enters a badly formed regular expression in the
permalink_normalizations site setting, a RegexpError exception is
generated everytime a URL is normalized (see Permalink.normalize_url).
The new validator validates every regular expression present in the
setting value (delimited by '|').
This commit introduces a new site setting: `use_name_for_username_suggestions` (default true)
Admins can disable it if they want to stop using Name values when generating usernames for users. This can be useful if you want to keep real names private-by-default or, when used in conjunction with the `use_email_for_username_and_name_suggestions` setting, you would prefer to use email-based username suggestions.

This pull request follows on from https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/16308. This one does the following:
* Changes `BookmarkQuery` to allow for querying more than just Post and Topic bookmarkables
* Introduces a `Bookmark.register_bookmarkable` method which requires a model, serializer, fields and preload includes for searching. These registered `Bookmarkable` types are then used when validating new bookmarks, and also when determining which serializer to use for the bookmark list. The `Post` and `Topic` bookmarkables are registered by default.
* Adds new specific types for Post and Topic bookmark serializers along with preloading of associations in `UserBookmarkList`
* Changes to the user bookmark list template to allow for more generic bookmarkable types alongside the Post and Topic ones which need to display in a particular way
All of these changes are gated behind the `use_polymorphic_bookmarks` site setting, apart from the .hbs changes where I have updated the original `UserBookmarkSerializer` with some stub methods.
Following this PR will be several plugin PRs (for assign, chat, encrypt) that will register their own bookmarkable types or otherwise alter the bookmark serializers in their own way, also gated behind `use_polymorphic_bookmarks`.
This commit also removes `BookmarkQuery.preloaded_custom_fields` and the functionality surrounding it. It was added in 0cd502a558 but only used by one plugin (discourse-assign) where it has since been removed, and is now used by no plugins. We don't need it anymore.
Previously, accessing the Rails app directly in development mode would give you assets from our 'legacy' Ember asset pipeline. The only way to run with Ember CLI assets was to run ember-cli as a proxy. This was quite limiting when working on things which are bypassed when using the ember-cli proxy (e.g. changes to `application.html.erb`). Also, since `ember-auto-import` introduced chunking, visiting `/theme-qunit` under Ember CLI was failing to include all necessary chunks.
This commit teaches Sprockets about our Ember CLI assets so that they can be used in development mode, and are automatically collected up under `/public/assets` during `assets:precompile`. As a bonus, this allows us to remove all the custom manifest modification from `assets:precompile`.
The key changes are:
- Introduce a shared `EmberCli.enabled?` helper
- When ember-cli is enabled, add ember-cli `/dist/assets` as the top-priority Rails asset directory
- Have ember-cli output a `chunks.json` manifest, and teach `preload_script` to read it and append the correct chunks to their associated `afterFile`
- Remove most custom ember-cli logic from the `assets:precompile` step. Instead, rely on Rails to take care of pulling the 'precompiled' assets into the `public/assets` directory. Move the 'renaming' logic to runtime, so it can be used in development mode as well.
- Remove fingerprinting from `ember-cli-build`, and allow Rails to take care of things
Long-term, we may want to replace Sprockets with the lighter-weight Propshaft. The changes made in this commit have been made with that long-term goal in mind.
tldr: when you visit the rails app directly, you'll now be served the current ember-cli assets. To keep these up-to-date make sure either `ember serve`, or `ember build --watch` is running. If you really want to load the old non-ember-cli assets, then you should start the server with `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`. (the legacy asset pipeline will be removed very soon)
* Adds a hidden site setting: `max_participant_names`
* Replaces duplicate code in `GroupSmtpMailer` and `UserNotifications`
* Groups are sorted by the number of users (decreasing)
* Replaces the query to count users of each group with `Group#user_count`)
* Users are sorted by their last reply in the topic (most recent first)
* Adds lots of tests
This reverts commit 01107e418e.
We have seen some random occurrences of corrupted assets, and think it may be related to the sprockets 4 update. Reverting for investigation

The main difference is that Sprockets 4.0 no longer tries to compile everything by default. This is good for us, because we can remove all our custom 'exclusion' logic which was working around the old sprockets 3.0 behavior.
The other big change is that lambdas can no longer be added to the `config.assets.precompile` array. Instead, we can do the necessary globs ourselves, and add the desired files manually.
A small patch is required to make ember-rails compatible. Since we plan to remove this dependency in the near future, I do not intend to upstream this change.
I have compared the `bin/rake assets:precompile` output before and after this change, and verified that all files are present.
Discourse has the Discourse Connect Provider protocol that makes it possible to
use a Discourse instance as an identity provider for external sites. As a
natural extension to this protocol, this PR adds a new feature that makes it
possible to use Discourse as a 2FA provider as well as an identity provider.
The rationale for this change is that it's very difficult to implement 2FA
support in a website and if you have multiple websites that need to have 2FA,
it's unrealistic to build and maintain a separate 2FA implementation for each
one. But with this change, you can piggyback on Discourse to take care of all
the 2FA details for you for as many sites as you wish.
To use Discourse as a 2FA provider, you'll need to follow this guide:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/32974. It walks you through what you need to
implement on your end/site and how to configure your Discourse instance. Once
you're done, there is only one additional thing you need to do which is to
include `require_2fa=true` in the payload that you send to Discourse.
When Discourse sees `require_2fa=true`, it'll prompt the user to confirm their
2FA using whatever methods they've enabled (TOTP or security keys), and once
they confirm they'll be redirected back to the return URL you've configured and
the payload will contain `confirmed_2fa=true`. If the user has no 2FA methods
enabled however, the payload will not contain `confirmed_2fa`, but it will
contain `no_2fa_methods=true`.
You'll need to be careful to re-run all the security checks and ensure the user
can still access the resource on your site after they return from Discourse.
This is very important because there's nothing that guarantees the user that
will come back from Discourse after they confirm 2FA is the same user that
you've redirected to Discourse.

* FEATURE: Let sites add a sitemap.xml file.
This PR adds the same features discourse-sitemap provides to core. Sitemaps are only added to the robots.txt file if the `enable_sitemap` setting is enabled and `login_required` disabled.
After merging discourse/discourse-sitemap#34, this change will take priority over the sitemap plugin because it will disable itself. We're also using the same sitemaps table, so our migration won't try to create it
again using `if_not_exists: true`.
After this commit, category group permissions can only be seen by users
that are allowed to manage a category. In the past, we inadvertently
included a category's group permissions settings in `CategoriesController#show`
and `CategoriesController#find_by_slug` endpoints for normal users when
those settings are only a concern to users that can manage a category.
This PR brings the `UppyUploadMixin` more into line with the `ComposerUppyUpload` mixin, by extending the `ExtendableUploader` . This also adds better tracking of and events for in progress uploads in the `UppyUploadMixin` for better UI interactions, and also opens up the use of `_useUploadPlugin` for the mixin, so anything implementing `UppyUploadMixin` can add extra uppy preprocessor plugins as needed.
This has been done as part of work on extracting uploads out of the chat composer. In future, we might be able to do the same for `ComposerUppyUpload`, getting rid of that mixin to standardise on `UppyUploadMixin` and have a separate `composer-uploads` component that lives alongside `composer-editor` like what we are doing in https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/pull/764
Due to default CSP web workers instantiated from CDN based assets are still
treated as "same-origin" meaning that we had no way of safely instansiating
a web worker from a theme.
This limits the theme system and adds the arbitrary restriction that WASM
based components can not be safely used.
To resolve this limitation all js assets in about.json are also cached on
local domain.
{
"name": "Header Icons",
"assets" : {
"worker" : "assets/worker.js"
}
}
This can then be referenced in JS via:
settings.theme_uploads_local.worker
local_js_assets are unconditionally served from the site directly and
bypass the entire CDN, using the pre-existing JavascriptCache
Previous to this change this code was completely dormant on sites which
used s3 based uploads, this reuses the very well tested and cached asset
system on s3 based sites.
Note, when creating local_js_assets it is highly recommended to keep the
assets lean and keep all the heavy working in CDN based assets. For example
wasm files can still live on the CDN but the lean worker that loads it can
live on local.
This change unlocks wasm in theme components, so wasm is now also allowed
in `theme_authorized_extensions`
* more usages of upload.content
* add a specific test for upload.content
* Adjust logic to ensure that after upgrades we still get a cached local js
on save
Previously we only supported a single 'required tag group' for a category. This commit allows admins to specify multiple required tag groups, each with their own minimum tag count.
A new category_required_tag_groups database table replaces the existing columns on the categories table. Data is automatically migrated.
This patch removes some of our freedom patches that have been deprecated
for some time now.
Some of them have been updated so we’re not shipping code based on an
old version of Rails.
Invited users were allowed to accept invites without entering a
password. When this happened, instead of receiving an activation email,
they received a password reset email. Basically, a user could postpone
choosing a password until after registration.
Unfortunately, this led to a confusing user experience and this commit
attempts to fix that by making the client require a password. There is
a single case when users do not need to input a password: when they sign
up using an external authenticator and password field is completely
hidden. In this case, the third party handles the password logic.
Technically, invites can still be redeemed without a password, but that
functionality was kept to preserve backwards compatibility.
Previous to this change if any of the assets were not allowed extensions
they would simply be silently ignored, this could lead to broken themes
that are very hard to debug
The changes are:
* Add an aria-label for the button that embeds/expand the replies of a
post below it
* Add an aria-label for the button that collapses the embedded replies
* Add an aria-label to describe the embedded replies section when
expanded and an aria-label for each embedded reply
The improvements are:
* Add an aria-label to the like/read count buttons below posts to
indicate what they mean and do.
* Add aria-pressed to the like/read count buttons to make it clear to screen
readers that these buttons are toggleable.
* Add an aria-label to the list of avatars that's shown when post likes
or readers are expanded so that screen reader users can understand what
the list of avatars means.
We want our autoloading to respect custom inflections registered with ActiveSupport::Inflector. `Zeitwek::Inflector` does not call out to ActiveSupport.
Instead, we can define our own DiscourseInflector based on the super-simple Inflector in rails core.

This commit introduces a new use_polymorphic_bookmarks site setting
that is default false and hidden, that will be used to help continuous
development of polymorphic bookmarks. This setting **should not** be
enabled anywhere in production yet, it is purely for local development.
This commit uses the setting to enable create/update/delete actions
for polymorphic bookmarks on the server and client side. The bookmark
interactions on topics/posts are all usable. Listing, searching,
sending bookmark reminders, and other edge cases will be handled
in subsequent PRs.
Comprehensive UI tests will be added in the final PR -- we already
have them for regular bookmarks, so it will just be a matter of
changing them to be for polymorphic bookmarks.
Tags (and tag groups) can be configured so that they can only be used in specific categories and (optionally) restrict topics in these categories to be able to add/use only these tags. These restrictions work as expected when a topic is created without going through the review queue; however, if the topic has to be reviewed by a moderator then these restrictions currently aren't checked before the topic is sent to the review queue, but they're checked later when a moderator tries to approve the topic. This is because if a user manages to submit a topic that doesn't meet the restrictions, moderators won't be able to approve and it'll be stuck in the review queue.
This PR prevents topics that don't meet the tags requirements from being sent to the review queue and shows the poster an error message that indicates which tags that cannot be used.
Internal ticket: t60562.
Clicking the Replies cell of a topic in a topics list shows a little
modal with 2 buttons that take you to the first and last posts of the
topic. This modal is currently completely inaccessible to
keyboard/screen reader users because it can't be reached using the
keyboard.
This commit improves the modal so that it traps focus when it's shown
and makes it possible to close the modal using the esc key.
Topics lists like /latest are ordered by last activity date by default,
but the order can be changed (and reversed) to something else such as
replies count and views count by clicking on the corresponding column
header in the topics list. These column headers are tabbable, but screen
readers announce them as, using the replies column as example, `Replies
toggle button`. This doesn't communicate very well that this the button
changes the order, so this commit adds `aria-label`s to all column
headers to make it clear that they change order. The current copy for
the `aria-label` is `Sort by replies`.
This is done by defining a `/all` route for use when a category's default filter is 'none'. This was defined for regular category routes in 3e7f7fdd, but not for tag routes.
This commit also corrects the route name TagsShowNoneCategory*Route -> TagsShowCategoryNone*Route, which fixes an error when setting subcategories=none while filtering by tags.
We rolled out a change to disable canonical indexing.
The goal behind it was to limit crawl budget by Google being spent
scanning non canonical topic links.
Since this change was applied we rolled out 2 fixes that made the change
no longer needed.
1. Topic RSS feeds are no longer followed, links in the RSS feeds are
not followed.
2. Post RSS feeds now contain canonical links.
Combined these two changes mean crawlers no longer discover a large
amount on non-canonical links on Discourse sites.
This update topic route has never worked. Better late than never. I am
in favor of using non-slug urls when using the api so I do think we
should fix this route.
Just thought I would update the `:id` param to `:topic_id` here in the
routes file instead of updating the controller to handle both params.
Added a spec to test this route.
Also added the same constraint we have on other topic routes to ensure
we only pass in an ID that is a digit.
Previously, if an admin user tried to add/remove
users to another user's ignored list, it would
be added to their own ignore list because the
controller used current_user. Now for admins only
a source_user_id parameter can be passed through,
which will be used to ignore the target user for
that source user.
The user can select what happens with a bookamrk after it expires. New
option allow bookmark's reminder to be kept even after it has expired.
After a bookmark's reminder notification is created, the reminder date
will be highlighted in red until the user resets the reminder date.
User can do that using the new Clear Reminder button from the dropdown.
When creating files with create-multipart, if the file
size was somehow zero we were showing a very unhelpful
error message to the user. Now we show a nicer message,
and proactively don't call the API if we know the file
size is 0 bytes in JS, along with extra console logging
to help with debugging.
This change adds support for the categories endpoint to have an api
scope. Only adds GET scope for listing categories and for fetching a
single category.
See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/218080/4
This PR adds an extra description to the 2FA page when granting a user admin access. It also introduces a general system for adding customized descriptions that can be used by future actions.

This feature was rarely used, could be used for spamming users and was
impossible to add a context to why the user was notified of a topic. A
simple private messages that includes the link and personalized message
can be used instead.
This commit extends the original copy-codeblocks initializer,
renaming it to codeblock-buttons, and adding another button
to make the code block fullscreen in a modal window. The fullscreen
code is then run through highlight.js.
This commit also moves much of the code out of the initializer
and into a reusable CodeblockButtons class, so it can also be used
in the fullscreen code modal for the copy + paste button.
The fullscreen button will not be shown if there is no scroll overflow
in the code block, nor will it be shown on mobile. This commit also
changes the fullscreen table button to not show on mobile.
This will make long lines of code much easier to read and interact
with. This is gated behind the same `show_copy_button_on_codeblocks`
site setting.
This allows text editors to use correct syntax coloring for the heredoc sections.
Heredoc tag names we use:

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

rack-mini-profiler was setting a cookie path of / which was clobbering
the session cookie path of Discourse.base_path.
Fixes some issues when local dev is unable to read or write from/to
the user session, such as during omniauth CSRF checks.
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.
The 5s difference was causing anon clients to have ~5s gaps between their long-polling requests. On busy sites, this could be enough time for them to build up a backlog, which then becomes much more expensive for us on the server-side.
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.
