* PERF: Improve database query perf when loading topics for a category.
Instead of left joining the `topics` table against `categories` by filtering with `categories.id`,
we can improve the query plan by filtering against `topics.category_id`
first before joining which helps to reduce the number of rows in the
topics table that has to be joined against the other tables and also
make better use of our existing index.
The following is a before and after of the query plan for a category
with many subcategories.
Before:

* PERF: Optimize index on topics bumped_at.
Replace `index_topics_on_bumped_at` index with a partial index on `Topic#bumped_at` filtered by archetype since there is already another index that covers private topics.
Currently, pinned topics are ordered by the `bumped_at` column. This behavior is not desired because it gives admins no control over the order of pinned topics. This PR makes pinned topics ordered by the `pinned_at` column. A topic that is pinned last appears first in topic lists. If an admin wants an already pinned topic to appear first in the list of pinned topics, they'll have to unpin that topic and pin it again.
Meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-set-the-order-of-pinned-topics/16935/23?u=osama.
Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
This is a try to simplify logic around dismiss new topics to have one solution to work in all places - dismiss all-new, dismiss new in a specific category or even in a specific tag.
This is an edge-case of 9fb3629. An admin could set the shared draft category to one where both TL2 and TL3 users have access but only give shared draft access to TL3 users. If something like this happens, we need to make sure that TL2 users won't be able to see them, and they won't be listed on latest.
Before this change, `SharedDrafts` were lazily created when a destination category was selected. We now create it alongside the topic and set the destination to the same shared draft category.
When that site setting is enabled, the category counts (new/unread)
include the subcategory definition topics, but the topics aren't included
in the list. This fixes that discrepancy.
This is intended for use by plugins which are building their own topic lists, and want to include PMs alongside regular topics (e.g. discourse-assign). It does not get used directly in core.
Like "default watching" and "default tracking" categories option now the "regular" categories support is added. It will be useful for sites that are muted by default. The user option will be displayed only if `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting is enabled.
This adds a special filter to topic lists that will filter to tracked and
watched categories.
To use it you can visit:
`https://sitename/?filter=tracked`
`https://sitename/unread?filter=tracked`
and so on
Note, we do not include explicitly tracked and watched topics **outside** of
the tracked categories and tags.
We can consider a `filter=all_tracked` to cover this edge case.
This feature adds the ability to define synonyms for tags, and the ability to merge one tag into another while keeping it as a synonym. For example, tags named "js" and "java-script" can be synonyms of "javascript". When searching and creating topics using synonyms, they will be mapped to the base tag.
Along with this change is a new UI found on each tag's page (for example, `/tags/javascript`) where more information about the tag can be shown. It will list the synonyms, which categories it's restricted to (if any), and which tag groups it belongs to (if tag group names are public on the `/tags` page by enabling the "tags listed by group" setting). Staff users will be able to manage tags in this UI, merge tags, and add/remove synonyms.
Instead of enabling `suppress_from_latest` setting on many categories now we can enable `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting. Then users should opt-in to categories for them to appear in the latest and categories pages.
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989) [Undo revert] (#8024)""
This reverts commit 36425eb9f0.
* Fix: Show who read only if the attribute is enabled
* PERF: Precalculate the last post readed by a group member
* Use book-reader icon instear of far-eye
* FIX: update topic groups correctly
* DEV: Tidy up read indicator update on write
* Reenable: "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989)"
This reverts commit 67f5cc1ce8.
* FIX: Read indicator only appears when the group setting is enabled
* Enable or disable read state based on group attribute
* When read state needs to be published, the minimum unread count is calculated in the topic query. This way, we can know if someone reads the last post
* The option can be enabled/disabled from the UI
* The read indicator will live-updated using message bus
* Show read indicator on every post
* The read indicator now shows read count and can be expanded to see user avatars
* Read count gets updated everytime someone reads a message
* Simplify topic-list read indicator logic
* Unsubscribe from message bus on willDestroyElement, removed unnecesarry values from post-menu, and added a comment to explain where does minimum_unread_count comes from
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
This new site setting determines the maximum age of unread topics in
suggested. By default if you have any unread topics older than 90 days
they will be omitted from suggested.
This change was added for 2 reasons:
1. A performance safeguard, some users tend to collect a huge amount of
read state so it becomes super expensive to find unread
2. People who collect a large amount of unread are much more interested in
recent unread topics vs ancient unread topics, this makes suggested more
relevant
Also, this is a minor speed up for tests cause 3 expensive tests became 1.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

Previously the related PMs were last meaning you would have to work through
all unread to see them.
Also amends it so it either asks for related by group OR user not both.
