After careful analysis of large data-sets it became apparent that avg_time
had no impact whatsoever on "best of" topic scoring. Calculating avg_time
was a very costly operation especially on large databases.
We have some longer term plans of introducing other weighting that is read
time based into our scoring for "best of" and "top" topics, but in the
interim to stop a large amount of work that is not achieving any value we
are removing the jobs.
Column removal will follow once we decide on a new replacement metric.
`Upload#url` is more likely and can change from time to time. When it
does changes, we don't want to have to look through multiple tables to
ensure that the URLs are all up to date. Instead, we simply associate
uploads properly to `UserProfile` so that it does not have to replicate
the URLs in the table.
Minor fixes to add Rails 6 support to Discourse, we now will boot
with RAILS_MASTER=1, all specs pass
Only one tiny deprecation left
Largest change was the way ActiveModel:Errors changed interface a
bit but there is a simple backwards compat way of working it
This change automatically resizes icons for various purposes. Admins can now upload `logo` and `logo_small`, and everything else will be auto-generated. Specific icons can still be uploaded separately if required.
## Core
- Adds an SiteIconManager module which manages automatic resizing and fallback
- Icons are looked up in the OptimizedImage table at runtime, and then cached in Redis. If the resized version is missing for some reason, then most icons will fall back to the original files. Some icons (e.g. PWA Manifest) will return `nil` (because an incorrectly sized icon is worse than a missing icon).
- `SiteSetting.site_large_icon_url` will return the optimized version, including any fallback. `SiteSetting.large_icon` continues to return the upload object. This means that (almost) no changes are required in core/plugins to support this new system.
- Icons are resized whenever a relevant site setting is changed, and during post-deploy migrations
## Wizard
- Allows `requiresRefresh` wizard steps to reload data via AJAX instead of a full page reload
- Add placeholders to the **icons** step of the wizard, which automatically update from the "Square Logo"
- Various copy updates to support the changes
- Remove the "upload-time" resizing for `large_icon`. This is no longer required.
## Site Settings UX
- Move logo/icon settings under a new "Branding" tab
- Various copy changes to support the changes
- Adds placeholder support to the `image-uploader` component
- Automatically reloads site settings after saving. This allows setting placeholders to change based on changes to other settings
- Upload site settings will be assigned a placeholder if SiteIconManager `responds_to?` an icon of the same name
## Dashboard Warnings
- Remove PWA icon and PWA title warnings. Both are now handled automatically.
## Bonus
- Updated the sketch logos to use @awesomerobot's new high-res designs
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
If a tag group is set to only be visible to staff, and is restricted
to a category that is visible by everyone, the tags in the group were
being shown on the /tags page. They weren't visible anywhere else.
This commit fixes it so they don't show on the /tags page.
This is for backwards compatibility purposes. Even if `Upload#url` has a
format that we don't recognize, we should still return the upload object
as long as the upload record is present.
If you turn it on now, default all users to approved since they were
previously. Also support approving a user that doesn't have a reviewable
record (it will be created first.)
This also includes a refactor to move class method calls to
`DiscourseEvent` into an initializer. Otherwise the load order of
classes makes a difference in the test environment and some settings
might be triggered and others not, randomly.
Theme developers can include any number of scss files within the /scss/ directory of a theme. These can then be imported from the main common/desktop/mobile scss.
This optimisation avoids large scans joining the topics table with the
topic_users table.
Previously when a user carried a lot of read state we would have to join
the entire read state with the topics table. This operation would slow down
home page and every topic page. The more read state you accumulated the
larger the impact.
The optimisation helps people who clean up unread, however if you carry
unread from years ago it will only have minimal impact.
