* FEATURE: Exposing a way to add a generic report filter
## Why do we need this change?
Part of the work discussed [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/gain-understanding-of-file-uploads-usage/104994), and implemented a first spike [here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/6809), I am trying to expose a single generic filter selector per report.
## How does this work?
We basically expose a simple, single generic filter that is computed and displayed based on backend values passed into the report.
This would be a simple contract between the frontend and the backend.
**Backend changes:** we simply need to return a list of dropdown / select options, and enable the report's newly introduced `custom_filtering` property.
For example, for our [Top Uploads](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/6809/files#diff-3f97cbb8726f3310e0b0c386dbe89e22R1423) report, it can look like this on the backend:
```ruby
report.custom_filtering = true
report.custom_filter_options = [{ id: "any", name: "Any" }, { id: "jpg", name: "JPEG" } ]
```
In our javascript report HTTP call, it will look like:
```js
{
"custom_filtering": true,
"custom_filter_options": [
{
"id": "any",
"name": "Any"
},
{
"id": "jpg",
"name": "JPG"
}
]
}
```
**Frontend changes:** We introduced a generic `filter` param and a `combo-box` which hooks up into the existing framework for fetching a report.
This works alright, with the limitation of being a single custom filter per report. If we wanted to add, for an instance a `filesize filter`, this will not work for us. _I went through with this approach because it is hard to predict and build abstractions for requirements or problems we don't have yet, or might not have._
## How does it look like?
## More on the bigger picture
The major concern here I have is the solution I introduced might serve the `think small` version of the reporting work, but I don't think it serves the `think big`, I will try to shed some light into why.
Within the current design, It is hard to maintain QueryParams for dynamically generated params (based on the idea of introducing more than one custom filter per report).
To allow ourselves to have more than one generic filter, we will need to:
a. Use the Route's model to retrieve the report's payload (we are now dependent on changes of the QueryParams via computed properties)
b. After retrieving the payload, we can use the `setupController` to define our dynamic QueryParams based on the custom filters definitions we received from the backend
c. Load a custom filter specific Ember component based on the definitions we received from the backend

* Fix /svg-sprite/search request
Since uploads site settings are now backed by an actual upload, we don't
have to reach over the network just to fetch the favicon. Instead, we
can just read the upload directly from disk.
Attempt to force NGINX to include content length when doing X-SendFile
This does not seem to be required when bypassing NGINX.
Without this header some CDNs may have issues caching
When a new post is triggered via message bus post stream will attempt to load
it, previously the `/topic/TOPIC_ID/posts.json` would unconditionally include
suggested topics, this caused excessive load on the server.
New pattern defaults to exclude suggested and related topics from this API
unless people explicitly ask for suggested.
Do not allow `/u/search/users.json` to list any group matches unless a
specific `term` is specified in the API call.
Adding groups should always be done when an actual search term exists,
blank search is only supported for users within a topic

This gives more control over the request. In particular we can easily
lookup DNS dynamically, instead of only upon NGINX startup.
Previously, NGINX was looking up IP for the letter avatar service and
caching the CDN IP address, this caused issues if CDN changed IP, in
which letter avatars would be broken till a container restarted.
NGINX config has been updated to add caching. This change will require
a container rebuild.
The proxy will now function in development environments, so the patch
for `letter_avatar_proxy` has been removed.
We had a missing formats: string on our render partial that caused logs to
spam when CSS files got 404s.
Due to magic discourse_public_exceptions.rb was actually returning the
correct 404 cause it switched format when rendering the error.
Previously it would unhide their post but leave them silenced.
This fix also cleans up some of the helper classes to make it easier
to pass extra data to the silencing code (for example, a link to the
post that caused the user to be silenced.)
This patch also refactors the auto_silence specs to avoid using
stubs.
Currently the theme is matched by name, which can be fragile when there are many themes with the same name. This functionality will be used by the next version of theme CLI.
If for some reason `Discourse.store.path_for` returns `nil`, the
forum would throw an error rather than returning 404.
Why would it be `nil`? One cause could be changing the type of
file store and having the `url` field no longer be relative.
Under some conditions it was possible to pass in a user_id as an
integer, but we would try and parse it as a comma delimited string
resulting in an error. This has been fixed so that we are no longer
mapping the user_id param to user_ids.
- Themes can supply translation files in a format like `/locales/{locale}.yml`. These files should be valid YAML, with a single top level key equal to the locale being defined. For now these can only be defined using the `discourse_theme` CLI, importing a `.tar.gz`, or from a GIT repository.
- Fallback is handled on a global level (if the locale is not defined in the theme), as well as on individual keys (if some keys are missing from the selected interface language).
- Administrators can override individual keys on a per-theme basis in the /admin/customize/themes user interface.
- Theme developers should access defined translations using the new theme prefix variables:
JavaScript: `I18n.t(themePrefix("my_translation_key"))`
Handlebars: `{{theme-i18n "my_translation_key"}}` or `{{i18n (theme-prefix "my_translation_key")}}`
- To design for backwards compatibility, theme developers can check for the presence of the `themePrefix` variable in JavaScript
- As part of this, the old `{{themeSetting.setting_name}}` syntax is deprecated in favour of `{{theme-setting "setting_name"}}`
This makes more sense than having the guardian take an accessor.
The logic belongs in the Serializer, where the JSON is calculated.
Also removed some of the DRYness in the spec. It's fewer lines
and made it easier to test the option on the serializer.
Previously we killed caching on old avatars cause we kept serving blank
this meant we would front many more avatar requests after a version change
This change ensures all old avatars do not cause a flood of requests on the
server
This is a possible solution for https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-api-keys-specification/48536/19
This allows for user-api-key requests to not require a redirect url.
Instead, the encypted payload will just be displayed after creation ( which can be copied
pasted into an env for a CLI, for example )
Also: Show instructions when creating user-api-key w/out redirect
This adds a view to show instructions when requesting a user-api-key
without a redirect. It adds a erb template and json format.
Also adds a i18n user_api_key.instructions for server.en.yml
* Dashboard doesn't timeout anymore when Amazon S3 is used for backups
* Storage stats are now a proper report with the same caching rules
* Changing the backup_location, s3_backup_bucket or creating and deleting backups removes the report from the cache
* It shows the number of backups and the backup location
* It shows the used space for the correct backup location instead of always showing used space on local storage
* It shows the date of the last backup as relative date
Historically due to https://meta.discourse.org/t/why-is-discourse-so-slow-on-android/8823
we decreased page sizes of both home page and topic page on android by half.
This was done on the server side and as a side effect and caused page sizes on android
to mismatch between Android and non Android.
Unfortunately about a year ago googlebot started pretending it is Android,
this cause Google to start indexing pages as what android would see. So
it saw double the amount of pages in the index as what exists on desktop.
This in turn caused double the amount of indexing work and a large amount
of broken links on long topics.
This fix removes all special behavior which is no longer needed due to
other performance work in Discourse including raw handlebars on home page
and virtual dom on topic pages.
I tested we do not need this on Blu Advance 5.0 it has 1.3 GHZ mediatec mt6580
This phone retails for around $50 USD.
If we decide long term that we want any hacks like this we will shift them
to the client side. It can just hold data in memory without rendering.
Previously the 'reconnect' process was a bit magic - IF you were already logged into discourse, and followed the auth flow, your account would be reconnected and you would be 'logged in again'.
Now, we explicitly check for a reconnect=true parameter when the flow is started, store it in the session, and then only follow the reconnect logic if that variable is present. Setting this parameter also skips the 'logged in again' step, which means reconnect now works with 2fa enabled.

already confirmed their email address by clicking the invite link.
Users invited via link will need to confirm their email address before
they can login.
This adds a **very basic** support for share to Discourse.
Currently, this is only supported in Android + Chrome 71+.
After installing a Discourse site to the Home Screen, you will be
able to share from anywhere in the OS to the Discourse site.
Discourse will use the title and text from the share event.
