What does this change do?
This commit the client to override the navigation menu setting
configured by the site temporarily based on the value of the
`navigation_menu` query param. The new query param replaces the old
`enable_sidebar` query param.
Why do we need this change?
The motivation here is to allow theme maintainers to quickly preview
what the site will look like with the various navigation menu site
setting.
Previously, a user avatar redirect had a lifetime of 24h. That means that a change to the S3 CDN URL would take up to 24h to propagate to clients and intermediate CDNs.
This commit reduces the max age to 1 hour, but also introduces a `stale-while-revalidate` directive. This allows clients and CDNs to use a 'stale' value if it was received between 1h and 24h ago, as long as they make a background request to update the cache. This should reduce the impact of S3 URL changes. 1 hour after the change, the CDN will start serving updated values. Plus, if users have cached bad responses, their browser will automatically fetch the correct version and use it on the next page load.
The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
When a post is created using the API and goes into the review queue, we
would return a 'null' string in the response which isn't valid JSON.

What was fixed:
- [x] Use ember transitions instead of full reload
- [x] Link was inaccurately kept active
- [x] "+ save" renamed to just "save"
- [x] Render emojis in link name
- [x] UI to set icon
- [x] Delete link is trash icon instead of "x"
- [x] Add another link to on the left and rewording
- [x] Raname "link name" -> "name", "points to" -> link
- [x] Add limits to fields
- [x] Move add section button to the bottom
Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
1. What is the problem here?
When a user's reviewables count changes, the changes are published via
MessageBus in a background Sidekiq job which means there is a delay before the
client receives the MessageBus message with the updated count. During
the time the reviewables count for a user has been updated and the time
when the client receives the MessageBus message with the updated count,
a user may view the reviewables list in the user menu. When that happens, the number of
reviewables in the list may be out of sync with the count shown.
2. What is the fix?
Going forward, the response for the `ReviewablesController#user_menu_list` action will include the user's reviewables count as
the `reviewables_count` attribute. This is then used by the client side
to update the user's reviewables count to ensure that the reviewables
list and count are kept in sync.
## Why do we need this change?
When loading the ember app, [MessageBus does not start polling immediately](f31f0b70f8/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/initializers/message-bus.js (L71-L81)) and instead waits for `document.readyState` to be `complete`. What this means is that if there are new messages being created while we have yet to start polling, those messages will not be received by the client.
With sidebar being the default navigation menu, the counts derived from `topic-tracking-state.js` on the client side is prominently displayed on every page. Therefore, we want to ensure that we are not dropping any messages on the channels that `topic-tracking-state.js` subscribes to.
## What does this change do?
This includes the `MessageBus.last_id`s for the MessageBus channels which `topic-tracking-state.js` subscribes to as part of the preloaded data when loading a page. The last ids are then used when we subscribe the MessageBus channels so that messages which are published before MessageBus starts polling will not be missed.
## Review Notes
1. See https://github.com/discourse/message_bus#client-support for documentation about subscribing from a given message id.
Currently `Topic#pm_topic_count` is a count of all personal messages tagged for a given tag. As a result, any user with access to PM tags can poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new personal message has been created using that tag even if the user does not have access to the personal message. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
With this commit, `Topic#pm_topic_count` is hidden from users by default unless the `display_personal_messages_tag_counts` site setting is enabled.
A while back the definition of TL was changed but many
areas in the codebase still use the term 'Regular user'
despite it having some implicit meaning (TL2).
See 20140905055251_rename_trust_level_badges.rb
When the `tags_listed_by_group` site setting is disable, we were seeing
the N+1 queries problem when multiple `CategoryTag` records are listed.
This commit fixes that by ensuring that we are not filtering through the
category `tags` association after the association has been eager loaded.
* FIX: Ensure soft-deleted topics can be deleted
The topic was not found during the deletion process because it was
deleted and `@post.topic` was nil.
* DEV: Use @topic instead of finding the topic every time
This commit allows us to set the channel slug when creating new chat
channels. As well as this, it introduces a new `SlugsController` which can
generate a slug using `Slug.for` and a name string for input. We call this
after the user finishes typing the channel name (debounced) and fill in
the autogenerated slug in the background, and update the slug input
placeholder.
This autogenerated slug is used by default, but if the user writes anything
else in the input it will be used instead.
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information.
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope.
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.
Our JS files reference sourcemaps relative to their current path. On sites with non-S3 CDN setups, we use a special path for brotli assets (39a524aa). This caused the sourcemap requests to 404.
This commit fixes the issue by allowing the `.map` files to be accessed under `/brotli_asset/*`.
When the `tags_listed_by_group` site setting is enabled, we were seeing
the N+1 queries problem when multiple `TagGroup` records are listed.
This commit fixes that by ensuring that we are not filtering through the
`tags` association after the association has been eager loaded.
This is a very subtle one. Setting the redirect URL is done by passing
a hash through a Discourse event. This is broken on Ruby 2 since the
support for keyword arguments in events was added.
In Ruby 2 the last argument is cast to keyword arguments if it is a
hash. The key point here is that creates a new copy of the hash, so
what the plugin is modifying is not the hash that was passed.
In "GlobalSetting.redirect_avatar_requests" mode, when the application gets
an avatar request it returns a "redirect" to the S3 CDN.
This shields the application from caching avatars and downloading from S3.
However clients will make 2 requests per avatar. (one to get redirect,
second to get avatar)
A one hour cache on a redirect means there may be an increase in CDN
traffic, given more clients will ask for the redirect every hour.
This may also lead to an increase in origin requests to the application.
To mitigate lets cache the CDN URL for 1 day.
The downside is that any changes to S3 CDN need extra care to allow for
the extra 1 day delay. (leave data around for 1 extra day)
Previously, calling `sign_in` would cause the browser to be redirected to `/`, and would cause the Ember app to boot. We would then call `visit()`, causing the app to boot for a second time.
This commit adds a `redirect=false` option to the `/session/username/become` route. This avoids the unnecessary boot of the app, and leads to significantly faster system spec run times.
In local testing, this takes the full system-spec suite for chat from ~6min to ~4min.
We were changing the user's user_option.bookmark_auto_delete_preference
to whatever they changed it to in the bookmark modal to use as default
for future bookmarks. However this was leading to a lot of confusion
since if you wanted to set it for one bookmark you had to remember to
change it back on the next one.
This commit removes that automatic functionality, and instead moves
the bookmark auto delete preference to User Preferences > Interface
in an explicit dropdown.
This commit adds a new notification that gets sent to admins when the site gets new features after an upgrade/deploy. Clicking on the notification takes the admin to the admin dashboard at `/admin` where they can see the new features under the "New Features" section.
Internal topic: t/87166.
1. The events table had broken styling, making each row overflow
2. It had confusing routes: `/:id` for "edit" and `/:id/events` for "show" (now it's `/:id/edit` and `/:id` respectively)
3. There previously was an unused backend action (`#edit`) - now it is used (and `web_hooks/:id/events` route has been removed)
4. There was outdated/misplaced/duplicated CSS
5. And more
* FEATURE: Show similar users when penalizing a user
Moderators will be notified if other users with the same IP address
exist before penalizing a user.
* FEATURE: Allow staff to penalize multiple users
This allows staff members to suspend or silence multiple users belonging
to the same person.
