The new `prioritize_exact_search_match` can be used to force the search
algorithm to prioritize exact term matches in title when ranking results.
This is scoped narrowly to titles for cases such as a topic titled:
"organisation chart" and a search of "org chart".
If we scoped this wider, all discussion about "org chart" would float to
the top and leave a very common title de-prioritized.
This is a hidden site setting and it has some performance impact due
to double ranking.
That said, performance impact is somewhat mitigated cause ranking on
title alone is a very cheap operation.
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.
* FEATURE: allow restricting duplication in search index
This introduces the site setting `max_duplicate_search_index_terms`.
Using this number we limit the amount of duplication in our search index.
This allows us to more correctly weight title searches, so bloated posts
don't unfairly bump to the top of search results.
This feature is completely disabled by default and behind a site setting
We will experiment with it first. Note entire search index must be rebuilt
for it to take effect.

Many users seems surprised by prefix matching in search leading to
unexpected results.
Over the years we always would return results starting with a search term
and not expect exact matches.
Meaning a search for `abra` would find `abracadabra`
This introduces the Site Setting `enable_search_prefix_matching` which
defaults to true. (behavior unchanged)
We plan to experiment on select sites with exact matches to see if the
results are less surprising
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.
Specifying wildcard characters which also happen to be regex
meta characters for `auto_approve_email_domains`, `allowed_email_domains`
and `blocked_email_domains` site settings currently breaks email
validation.
This change prevents these characters from being specified for these
site settings. It does this by switching the site setting type
from `list` to `host_list`. The `host_list` validator checks for these
characters.
In addition, this change also improves the site setting descriptions and
introduces a migration to fix existing records.
The `enable_new_notifications_menu` site setting allows sites that have
`navigation_menu` set to `legacy` to use the redesigned notifications
menu before switching to the new sidebar navigation menu.
There are various performance issues with the Canvas in iOS Safari
that are causing crashes when processing images with spikes of over 100%
CPU usage. The cause of this is unknown, but profiling points to
CanvasRenderingContext2D.getImageData() and
CanvasRenderingContext2D.drawImage().
Until Safari makes some progress with OffscreenCanvas or other
alternatives we cannot support this workflow. We will revisit in 6
months.
This is gated behind the hidden `composer_ios_media_optimisation_image_enabled`
site setting for people who really still want to try using this.
This feature is stable enough now to make it the default going forward
for new sites. Existing sites that have not yet set enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete
to `true` will have it set to `false` for their site settings, which was the old default.

This PR removes the limit added to max_users_notified_per_group_mention during #19034 and improve the performance when expanding mentions for large channel or groups by removing some N+1 queries and making the whole process async.
* Fully async chat message notifications
* Remove mention setting limit and get rid of N+1 queries
* DEV: Skip push notifications for active online users
Currently, users with active push subscriptions get push notifications
regardless of their "presence" on the site.
This change introduces a `push_notification_time_window_mins`
site setting which is used in conjunction with a user's `last_seen_at` to
determine if push notifications should be sent. A user is considered to
be actively online if their `last_seen_at` is within `push_notification_time_window_mins`
minutes. `push_notification_time_window_mins` is set to 10 by default.
* DEV: Remove client param for push_notification_time_window_mins site setting

* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
* FEATURE: Add support for desktop push notifications in core
Default to push for live notifications on desktop if available and
`enable_desktop_push_notifications` site setting set to true.
This removes the need for desktop-push-notifications plugin.
* DEV: Ensure live notifications are enabled explicitly
Allow a user with push notification access who has directly
enabled notifications via the browser settings to trigger push subscription
flow.
FEATURE: Chat and Sidebar are now on by default
- Set the sidebar site setting to be enabled by default
- Set the chat site setting to be enabled by default
- Updated existing specs that assumed the original default
- Use a migration to keep old defaults for existing sites
This new site setting replaces the
`enable_experimental_sidebar_hamburger` and `enable_sidebar` site
settings as the sidebar feature exits the experimental phase.
Note that we're replacing this without depreciation since the previous
site setting was considered experimental.
Internal Ref: /t/86563
* FEATURE: Enforce mention limits for chat messages
The first part of these changes adds a new setting called `max_mentions_per_chat_message`, which skips notifications when the message contains too many mentions. It also respects the `max_users_notified_per_group_mention` setting
and skips notifications if expanding a group mention would exceed it.
We also include a new component to display JIT warning for these limits to the user while composing a message.
* Simplify ignoring/muting filter in chat_notifier
* Post-send warnings for unsent warnings
* Improve pluralization
* Address review feedback
* Fix test
* Address second feedback round
* Third round of feedback

In an effort to modernize our codebase to the latest Ember version we have selected the Topic Timeline as a candidate to be refactored. The topic timeline component was originally built with `Widgets` and this PR will upgrade it to `Glimmer Components`.
The refactored timeline is hidden by default behind a group flag, `SiteSetting.enable_experimental_topic_timeline_groups`. Being part of a group included in this site setting will make the new timeline available for testing.
## Other points of interest
This PR introduces a `Draggable Modifier` available to all components, which will take the place of the existing _drag functionality_ exclusive to widgets.
It can be included like so:
```
{{draggable didStartDrag=@didStartDrag didEndDrag=@didEndDrag dragMove=@dragMove }}
```
This changes the hashtag search to first do a lookup to find
results where the slug exactly matches the
search term. Now when we search for hashtags, the
exact matches will be found first and put at the top of
the results.
`ChatChannelFetcher` has also been modified here to allow
for more options for performance -- we do not need to
query DM channels for secured IDs when looking up or searching
channels for hashtags, since they should never show in
results there (they have no slugs). Nor do we need to include
the channel archive records.
Also changes the limit of hashtag results to 20 by default
with a hidden site setting, and makes it so the scroll for the
results is overflowed.
The hidden site setting `suppress_secured_categories_from_admin` will
suppress visibility of categories without explicit access from admins
in a few key areas (category drop downs and topic lists)
It is not intended to be a security wall since admins can amend any site
setting. Instead it is feature that allows hiding the categories from the
UI.
Admins will still be able to see topics in categories without explicit
access using direct URLs or flags.

* FEATURE: Default Composer Category Site Setting
- Create the default_composer_category site setting
- Replace general_category_id logic for auto selecting the composer
category
- Prevent Uncategorized from being selected if not allowed
- Add default_composer_category option to seeded categories
- Create a migration to populate the default_composer_category site
setting if there is a general_category_id populated
- Added some tests
* Add missing translation for the new site setting
* fix some js tests
* Just check that the header value is null
Previously, we didn't have a site-wide setting to set the default behavior for user profile visibility and user presence features. But we already have a user preference for that.
The previous implementation would attempt to fetch groups using the end-user's Google auth token. This only worked for admin accounts, or users with 'delegated' access to the `admin.directory.group.readonly` API.
This commit changes the approach to use a single 'service account' for fetching the groups. This removes the need to add permissions to all regular user accounts. I'll be updating the [meta docs](https://meta.discourse.org/t/226850) with instructions on setting up the service account.
This is technically a breaking change in behavior, but the existing implementation was marked experimental, and is currently unusable in production google workspace environments.
This commit introduces a new framework for building user tutorials as
popups using the Tippy JS library. Currently, the new framework is used
to replace the old notification spotlight and tips and show a new one
related to the topic timeline.
All popups follow the same structure and have a title, a description and
two buttons for either dismissing just the current tip or all of them
at once.
The state of all seen popups is stored in a user option. Updating
skip_new_user_tips will automatically update the list of seen popups
accordingly.
This initial PR just adds a enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete
setting, and related JS & HBR files, replacing direct setup of
the autocomplete within d-editor and instead using the new
lib/hashtag-autocomplete. This is the beginning of preparations
to allow other data sources to be added to this autocomplete,
as well as a redesign of the menu and rendered tags in the composer
preview and posts.
Follow up to e62e93f83a.
It's confusing and unexpected that deprecated settings
unconditionally change the new setting's value via the
`SiteSettingsController`, even if `override` was set to `false`,
a follow-up PR will correct the issue in `SiteSettingsController`.
This can no longer be used from the user interface and could be used to
generate useless topic invites notifications. This commit adds site
setting max_topic_invitations_per_minute to prevent invite spam.
* FEATURE: Make General the default category
* Set general as the default category in the composer model instead
* use semicolon
* Enable allow_uncategorized_topics in create_post spec helper for now
* Check if general_category_id is set
* Enable allow_uncategorized_topics for test env
* Provide an option to the create_post helper to not set allow_uncategorized_topics
* Add tests to check that category… is not present and that General is selected automatically
By default, only staff members have to confirm their old email when
changing it. This commit adds a site setting that when enabled will
always ask the user to confirm old email.
This commit renames all secure_media related settings to secure_uploads_* along with the associated functionality.
This is being done because "media" does not really cover it, we aren't just doing this for images and videos etc. but for all uploads in the site.
Additionally, in future we want to secure more types of uploads, and enable a kind of "mixed mode" where some uploads are secure and some are not, so keeping media in the name is just confusing.
This also keeps compatibility with the `secure-media-uploads` path, and changes new
secure URLs to be `secure-uploads`.
Deprecated settings:
* secure_media -> secure_uploads
* secure_media_allow_embed_images_in_emails -> secure_uploads_allow_embed_images_in_emails
* secure_media_max_email_embed_image_size_kb -> secure_uploads_max_email_embed_image_size_kb
* FEATURE: add composer warning when user haven't been seen in a long time
When a user creates a PM and adds a recipient that hasn't been seen in a
long time then we'll now show a warning in composer indicating that the
user hasn't been seen in a long time.
By default, we won't include associated account ids in current user serializer. If the new hidden site setting `include_associated_account_ids` is enabled then we will add it in the serializer.
This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
This commits introduces a new SiteSetting.enable_new_user_profile_nav_groups
feature flag. When configured, users of the configured groups will see
the new user page navigation links.
As of this commit, only the user activity navigation link has been
converted to the newly proposed dropdown of navigation links.
Mobile support has not been considered.
- Seed the General category so that the general chat channel will have
a home
- Do not seed the Lounge category anymore
- Move the "Welcome to Site" topic to the General category
This commits makes the `enable_experimental_sidebar_hamburger` and
`enable_sidebar` site settings public for site admins to enable. While
the site settings are public, do note that the features are still under
heavy development and are subjected to rapid changes
* FIX: Rejected emails should not be cleaned up before their logs
If we delete the rejected emails before we delete their associated logs
we will receive 404 errors trying to inspect an email message for that
log.
* don't add a blank line
* test for max value as well
* pr cleanup and add migration
* Fix failing test
This commit removes the ability to enable/disable the Sidebar on a per
user basis and introduces a site wide setting. For testing purposes, sidebar can be enabled/disabled via the `enable_sidebar=1` or `enable_sidebar=0` query param.
* 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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
* hidden siteSetting to enable experimental sidebar
* user preference to enable experimental sidebar
* `experimental_sidebar_enabled` attribute for current user
* Empty glimmer component for Sidebar
* 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 PR enables custom email dark mode styles by default that were added here.
There is currently poor support for dark mode queries in mail clients. The main beneficiary of these changes will be Apple Mail and Outlook.
Enjoy the darkness 🕶️
* 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`.
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
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.
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.
* 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

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.
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.
* Chinese segmenetation will continue to rely on cppjieba
* Japanese segmentation will use our port of TinySegmenter
* Korean currently does not rely on segmentation which was dropped in c677877e4f
* SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese_japanese_korean has been split
into SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese and
SiteSetting.search_tokenize_japanese respectively
- Limit bulk re-invite to 1 time per day
- Move bulk invite by csv behind a site setting (hidden by default)
- Bump invite expiry from 30 -> 90 days
## Updates to rate_limiter
When limiting reinvites I found that **staff** are never limited in any way. So I updated the **rate_limiter** model to allow for a few things:
- add an optional param of `staff_limit`, which (when included and passed values, and the user passes `.staff?`) will override the default `max` & `secs` values and apply them to the user.
- in the case you **do** pass values to `staff_limit` but the user **does not** pass `staff?` the standard `max` & `secs` values will be applied to the user.
This should give us enough flexibility to
1. continue to apply a strict rate limit to a standard user
2. but also apply a secondary (less strict) limit to staff
The previous default aspect ratio for cropping tall images was a little
too strict and was cutting off images. This new setting should allow for
a larger range of image sizes before cropping them.
This commit removes the enable_experimental_backup_uploader site
setting and the flags in backups-index.hbs to make the uppy
backup uploader the main one from now on.
A follow-up commit will delete the old backup uploader code and
also remove resumable.js from the project.
* FEATURE: hide_email_address_taken forces use of email in forgot password form
This strengthens this site setting which is meant to be used to harden sites
that are experiencing abuse on forgot password routes.
Previously we would only deny letting people know if forgot password worked on not
New change also bans usage of username for forgot password when enabled
This commit introduces a new site setting "google_oauth2_hd_groups". If enabled, group information will be fetched from Google during authentication, and stored in the Discourse database. These 'associated groups' can be connected to a Discourse group via the "Membership" tab of the group preferences UI.
The majority of the implementation is generic, so we will be able to add support to more authentication methods in the near future.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/managing-group-membership-via-authentication/175950
This is a big change to change over to using the uppy
upload mixin in the composer by default. This gets rid
of the temporary composer-editor-uppy component, as well
as removing the old ComposerUpload mixin and copying over
any missing functions that were not yet implemented by
ComposerUploadUppy. This has been working well on our
hosting for some time now and has led us to several
bug fixes.
This commit also deletes the old plugin API for adding
preprocessors for the uploads. The accepted method of doing
this now is via an uppy preprocessor plugin, which we have
several examples of in the core codebase.
Leaving the `enable_experimental_composer_uploader` site setting
intact for now because some plugins still rely on it, this
will be removed at a later date.
One step closer to ending the jQuery file uploader saga...
* FEATURE: Optionally send a 'noindex' header in non-canonical responses
This will be used in a SEO experiment.

When this setting is turned on, it will check that normalized emails
are unique. Normalized emails are emails without any dots or plus
aliases.
This setting can be used to block use of aliases of the same email
address.
Use @here to mention all users that were allowed to topic directly or
through group, who liked topics or read the topic. Only first 10 users
will be notified.
* FEATURE: Always show advanced invite options
The UI is more simple and more efficient than how it was when the
advanced options toggle was introduced. It does not make sense to keep
it anymore.
* UX: Minor copy edits
* UX: Merge expire invite controls
There were two controls in the create invite modal. One was a static
text that displayed how much time is left until the invite expires. The
other one was a datetime selector that set the time the invite expires.
This commit merges the two controls in a single one: staff users will
continue to see the datetime selector without the static text and
regular users will only see the static text because they cannot set
when the invite expires.
* UX: Remove invite link
It should only be visible after the invite was created.
This PR introduces a new `enable_experimental_backup_uploads` site setting (default false and hidden), which when enabled alongside `enable_direct_s3_uploads` will allow for direct S3 multipart uploads of backup .tar.gz files.
To make multipart external uploads work with both the S3BackupStore and the S3Store, I've had to move several methods out of S3Store and into S3Helper, including:
* presigned_url
* create_multipart
* abort_multipart
* complete_multipart
* presign_multipart_part
* list_multipart_parts
Then, S3Store and S3BackupStore either delegate directly to S3Helper or have their own special methods to call S3Helper for these methods. FileStore.temporary_upload_path has also removed its dependence on upload_path, and can now be used interchangeably between the stores. A similar change was made in the frontend as well, moving the multipart related JS code out of ComposerUppyUpload and into a mixin of its own, so it can also be used by UppyUploadMixin.
Some changes to ExternalUploadManager had to be made here as well. The backup direct uploads do not need an Upload record made for them in the database, so they can be moved to their final S3 resting place when completing the multipart upload.
This changeset is not perfect; it introduces some special cases in UploadController to handle backups that was previously in BackupController, because UploadController is where the multipart routes are located. A subsequent pull request will pull these routes into a module or some other sharing pattern, along with hooks, so the backup controller and the upload controller (and any future controllers that may need them) can include these routes in a nicer way.
We are no longer able to display the image returned by Instagram directly within a Discourse site (either in the composer, or within a cooked post within a topic), so:
- Display an image placeholder in the composer preview
- A cooked post should use an iframe to display the Instagram 'embed' content
This commit groups `auth_overrides_*`, `discourse_connect_*` and `discourse_connect_provider_*` settings separately, rather than interspersing them.
There will be no functional change. This only affects the order in which they're shown in the admin panel
The `generate`, `rotate` and `suspicious` auth token logs are now always logged regardless of the `verbose_auth_token_logging` setting because we rely no these to detect suspicious logins.
This is a follow-up to https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/14541. This adds a hidden setting for restoring the old behavior for those users who rely on it. We'll likely deprecate this setting at some point in the future.
Sometimes administrators want to permanently delete posts and topics
from the database. To make sure that this is done for a good reasons,
administrators can do this only after one minute has passed since the
post was deleted or immediately if another administrator does it.
* DEV: Remove HTML setting type and sanitization logic.
We concluded that we don't want settings to contain HTML, so I'm removing the setting type and sanitization logic. Additionally, we no longer allow the global-notice text to contain HTML.
I searched for usages of this setting type in the `all-the-plugins` repo and found none, so I haven't added a migration for existing settings.
* Mark Global notices containing links as HTML Safe.
The server will automatically serve the crawler view to game console
browsers. Neither PlayStation or Xbox can render Discourse because not
all required browser APIs are present.
See the previous commit d66b258b0e as
well.
If enable_upload_debug_mode is true, we do not want to abort the
direct S3 upload, because that will delete the file on S3 and prevent
further inspection of any errors that have come up.
Adds uppy upload functionality behind a
enable_experimental_composer_uploader site setting (default false,
and hidden).
When enabled this site setting will make the composer-editor-uppy
component be used within composer.hbs, which in turn points to
a ComposerUploadUppy mixin which overrides the relevant
functions from ComposerUpload. This uppy uploader has parity
with all the features of jQuery file uploader in the original
composer-editor, including:
progress tracking
error handling
number of files validation
pasting files
dragging and dropping files
updating upload placeholders
upload markdown resolvers
processing actions (the only one we have so far is the media optimization
worker by falco, this works)
cancelling uploads
For now all uploads still go via the /uploads.json endpoint, direct
S3 support will be added later.
Also included in this PR are some changes to the media optimization
service, to support uppy's different file data structures, and also
to make the promise tracking and resolving more robust. Currently
it uses the file name to track promises, we can switch to something
more unique later if needed.
Does not include custom upload handlers, that will come
in a later PR, it is a tricky problem to handle.
Also, this new functionality will not be used in encrypted PMs because
encrypted PM uploads rely on custom upload handlers.
This adds a few different things to allow for direct S3 uploads using uppy. **These changes are still not the default.** There are hidden `enable_experimental_image_uploader` and `enable_direct_s3_uploads` settings that must be turned on for any of this code to be used, and even if they are turned on only the User Card Background for the user profile actually uses uppy-image-uploader.
A new `ExternalUploadStub` model and database table is introduced in this pull request. This is used to keep track of uploads that are uploaded to a temporary location in S3 with the direct to S3 code, and they are eventually deleted a) when the direct upload is completed and b) after a certain time period of not being used.
### Starting a direct S3 upload
When an S3 direct upload is initiated with uppy, we first request a presigned PUT URL from the new `generate-presigned-put` endpoint in `UploadsController`. This generates an S3 key in the `temp` folder inside the correct bucket path, along with any metadata from the clientside (e.g. the SHA1 checksum described below). This will also create an `ExternalUploadStub` and store the details of the temp object key and the file being uploaded.
Once the clientside has this URL, uppy will upload the file direct to S3 using the presigned URL. Once the upload is complete we go to the next stage.
### Completing a direct S3 upload
Once the upload to S3 is done we call the new `complete-external-upload` route with the unique identifier of the `ExternalUploadStub` created earlier. Only the user who made the stub can complete the external upload. One of two paths is followed via the `ExternalUploadManager`.
1. If the object in S3 is too large (currently 100mb defined by `ExternalUploadManager::DOWNLOAD_LIMIT`) we do not download and generate the SHA1 for that file. Instead we create the `Upload` record via `UploadCreator` and simply copy it to its final destination on S3 then delete the initial temp file. Several modifications to `UploadCreator` have been made to accommodate this.
2. If the object in S3 is small enough, we download it. When the temporary S3 file is downloaded, we compare the SHA1 checksum generated by the browser with the actual SHA1 checksum of the file generated by ruby. The browser SHA1 checksum is stored on the object in S3 with metadata, and is generated via the `UppyChecksum` plugin. Keep in mind that some browsers will not generate this due to compatibility or other issues.
We then follow the normal `UploadCreator` path with one exception. To cut down on having to re-upload the file again, if there are no changes (such as resizing etc) to the file in `UploadCreator` we follow the same copy + delete temp path that we do for files that are too large.
3. Finally we return the serialized upload record back to the client
There are several errors that could happen that are handled by `UploadsController` as well.
Also in this PR is some refactoring of `displayErrorForUpload` to handle both uppy and jquery file uploader errors.
Using an invalid value was allowed. This commit tries to automatically
fix the color by adding missing # symbol or will show an error to the
user if it is not possible and it is not a CSS color either.
Configuring staged users to watch categories and tags is a way to sign
them up to get many emails. These emails may be unwanted and get marked
as spam, hurting the site's email deliverability.
Users can opt-in to email notifications by logging on to their
account and configuring their own preferences.
If staff need to be able to configure these preferences on behalf of
staged users, the "allow changing staged user tracking" site setting
can be enabled. Default is to not allow it.

Flips content_security_policy_frame_ancestors default to enabled, and
removes HTTP_REFERER checks on embed requests, as the new referer
privacy options made the check fragile.
This PR adds the first use of Uppy in our codebase, hidden behind a enable_experimental_image_uploader site setting. When the setting is enabled only the user card background uploader will use the new uppy-image-uploader component added in this PR.
I've introduced an UppyUpload mixin that has feature parity with the existing Upload mixin, and improves it slightly to deal with multiple/single file distinctions and validations better. For now, this just supports the XHRUpload plugin for uppy, which keeps our existing POST to /uploads.json.
* FEATURE: add penalty history when silencing a user
Display penalty history (last 6 months) when silencing/suspending a user
* FEATURE: allow default penalty values to be chosen
Adds a site setting that designates default penalty values in hours.
Silence/suspend modals will auto-fill in the default values, but otherwise
will still allow moderators to pick and overwrite values as normal.
First silence/suspend: first value
Second silence/suspend: second value
etc.
Penalty counts are forgiven at the same rate as tl3 promotion requirements do.

* FEATURE: Staff can receive pending user reminders more frequently.
We now express the "pending_users_reminder_delay" in minutes instead of hours so staff can have finer control over the delay.
We need to keep in mind that the reminders could still take up to 20 minutes, even when using a lower value. We send them from a scheduled job.
* Migrate to a new site setting for the reminders delay
Limit was 5 with the assumption that trust level badge
will be the 6th badge. With trust level badges disabled,
it should be possible to increase this to 6, or even more imo.
Over the years we have found that a few communities never discovered tags.
Instead of having them default off we now have them default on, ensuring
that everyone finds out about them.

When a topic is fully merged into another topic we close it. Now we want also to set a timer for deleting this topic. By default, stub topics will be deleted in 7 days. Users can change this period or disable auto-deleting by setting the period to 0.
Using 1 as the default value is confusing for some people as low-score flags are hidden unless staff uses the "(any)" priority filter. Let's change it to 0 and let every site adjust the setting to match their needs.
Code fences:
1. allow to have syntax highlighting by declaring a language
2. are easier to edit (the composer doesn't preserve indentation when inserting a new line)
3. are more popular
Too long excerpts don't make sense. They would make UI wonky. We already have a constraint for the `topic_excerpt_maxlength` setting. This adds the same constraint to `post_excerpt_maxlength`.
It also changes the max value of `topic_excerpt_maxlength` from 999 to 1000.
* DEV: Allow wildcards in Oneboxer optional domain Site Settings
Allows a wildcard to be used as a subdomain on Oneboxer-related SiteSettings, e.g.:
- `force_get_hosts`
- `cache_onebox_response_body_domains`
- `force_custom_user_agent_hosts`
* DEV: fix typos
* FIX: Try doing a GET after receiving a 500 error from a HEAD
By default we try to do a `HEAD` requests. If this results in a 500 error response, we should try to do a `GET`
* DEV: `force_get_hosts` should be a hidden setting
* DEV: Oneboxer Strategies
Have an alternative oneboxing ‘strategy’ (i.e., set of options) to use when an attempt to generate a Onebox fails. Keep track of any non-default strategies that were used on a particular host, and use that strategy for that host in the future.
Initially, the alternate strategy (`force_get_and_ua`) forces the FinalDestination step of Oneboxing to do a `GET` rather than `HEAD`, and forces a custom user agent.
* DEV: change stubbed return code
The stubbed status code needs to be a value not recognized by FinalDestination
This setting allows admin to de/activate automatic trimming of incoming email.
There are instances where it does wonders in trimming all the garbage content and other
instances where it's so bad that it trims the most important part of the email.
FIX: don't remove hidden content using the style attribute when converting HTML to Markdown.
The regexp used was doing more harm than good. It was way too broad.
FIX: properly elide signatures from emails sent with Front App.
This is fairly safe as Front App nicely identifies signatures in the HTML part.
This filter hides reviewables with a score lower than the "reviewable_low_priority_threshold" setting. We only use reviewables that already met this threshold to calculate the Medium and High priority filters.
* FEATURE: Review every post using the review queue.
If the `review_every_post` setting is enabled, posts created and edited by regular uses are sent to the review queue so staff can review them. We'll skip PMs and posts created or edited by TL4 or staff users.
Staff can choose to:
- Approve the post (nothing happens)
- Approve and restore the post (if deleted)
- Approve and unhide the post (if hidden)
- Reject and delete it
- Reject and keep deleted (if deleted)
- Reject and suspend the user
- Reject and silence the user
* Update config/locales/server.en.yml

We introduced a cap on the number of bookmarks the user can add in be145ccf2f. However this has caused unintended side effects; when the `jobs/scheduled/bookmark_reminder_notifications.rb` runs we get this error for users who already had more bookmarks than the limit:
> Job exception: Validation failed: Sorry, you have too many bookmarks, visit #{url}/my/activity/bookmarks to remove some.
This is because the `clear_reminder!` call was triggering a bookmark validation, which raised an error because the user already had to many, holding up other reminders.
This PR also adds `max_bookmarks_per_user` hidden site setting (default 2000). This replaces the BOOKMARK_LIMIT const so we can raise it for certain sites.
To add an extra layer of security, we sanitize settings before shipping them to the client. We don't sanitize those that have the "html" type.
The CookedPostProcessor already uses Loofah for sanitization, so I chose to also use it for this. I added it to our gemfile since we installed it as a transitive dependency.
This feature used to be controlled by two site settings
enable_personal_email_messages and min_trust_to_send_email_messages.
I removed enable_personal_email_messages and unhide
min_trust_to_send_email_messages to simplify the process of
enabling / disabling this feature.
* FEATURE: Cache successful HTTP GET requests during Oneboxing
Some oneboxes may fail if when making excessive and/or odd requests against the target domains. This change provides a simple mechanism to cache the results of succesful GET requests as part of the oneboxing process, with the goal of reducing repeated requests and ultimately improving the rate of successful oneboxing.
To enable:
Set `SiteSetting.cache_onebox_response_body` to `true`
Add the domains you’re interesting in caching to `SiteSetting. cache_onebox_response_body_domains` e.g. `example.com|example.org|example.net`
Optionally set `SiteSetting.cache_onebox_user_agent` to a user agent string of your choice to use when making requests against domains in the above list.
* FIX: Swap order of duration and value in redis call
The correct order for `setex` arguments is `key`, `duration`, and `value`.
Duration and value had been flipped, however the code would not have thrown an error because we were caching the value of `1.day.to_i` for a period of 1 seconds… The intention appears to be to set a value of 1 (purely as a flag) for a period of 1 day.
browser-update script does not work correctly in some very old browsers
because the contents of <noscript> is not accessible in JavaScript.
For these browsers, the server can display the crawler page and add the
browser update notice.
Simply loading the browser-update script in the crawler view is not a
solution because that means all crawlers will also see it.
This is not recommended. But if you have other protections in place for CSRF mitigation, you may wish to disable Discourse's implementation. This site setting is not visible in the UI, and must be changed via the console.
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
* FIX: Do not show expired invites under Pending tab
* DEV: Controller action was renamed in previous commit
* FEATURE: Add 'Expired' tab to invites
* FEATURE: Refresh model after removing expired invites
* FEATURE: Do not immediately add invite to the list
Opening the 'create-invite' modal used to automatically generate an
invite to reserve an invite link. If the user did not save it and
closed the modal, the invite would be destroyed. This operations caused
the invite list to change in the background and confuse users.
* FEATURE: Sort redeemed users by creation time
* UX: Improve show / hide advanced options link
* FIX: Show redeemed users even if invites were trashed
* UX: Change modal title when editing invite
* UX: Remove Get Link button
Users can get it from the edit modal
* FEATURE: Add limit for invite links generated by regular users
* FEATURE: Add option to skip email
* UX: Show better error messages
* FIX: Show "Invited by" even if invite was trashed

Mailing list mode can generate significant email volume, especially on sites with a large user base. Disable mailing list mode via site settings by default so sites don't experience an unexpectedly large cost from outgoing email.
This commit includes other various improvements to watched words.
auto_silence_first_post_regex site setting was removed because it overlapped
with 'require approval' watched words.
Uses discourse/onebox@ff9ec90
Adds a hidden site setting called disable_onebox_media_download_controls which will add controlslist="nodownload" to video and audio oneboxes, and also to the local video and audio oneboxes within Discourse.
This setting is confusing admins, it is now hidden by default
It only applies to major updates of the rendering engine or imports and
very infrequently needs tweaking
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
- Improve warning message.
- Only display the warning if the language has a fallback and either "allow_user_locale", or "set_locale_from_accept_language_header" are enabled.
