Follow up to a review in #18937, this commit changes the HashtagAutocompleteService to no longer use class variables to register hashtag data sources or types in context priority order. This is to address multisite concerns, where one site could e.g. have chat disabled and another might not. The filtered plugin registers I added will not be included if the plugin is disabled.
This commit introduce a new API for registering callbacks, which we'll execute when a user gets destroyed, and the `delete_posts` opt is true. The chat plugin registers one callback and queues a job to destroy every message from that user in batches.
This hasn't been necessary for many years, and is no longer supported following 84bec1cb. Only extremely old plugins might be trying to do this. All the affected open-source plugins I can find have already been updated.
This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.

**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
This commit adds a new `/hashtag/search` endpoint and both
relevant JS and ruby plugin APIs to handle plugins adding their
own data sources and priority orders for types of things to search
when `#` is pressed.
A `context` param is added to `setupHashtagAutocomplete` which
a corresponding chat PR https://github.com/discourse/discourse-chat/pull/1302
will now use.
The UI calls `registerHashtagSearchParam` for each context that will
require a `#` search (e.g. the topic composer), for each type of record that
the context needs to search for, as well as a priority order for that type. Core
uses this call to add the `category` and `tag` data sources to the topic composer.
The `register_hashtag_data_source` ruby plugin API call is for plugins to
add a new data source for the hashtag searching endpoint, e.g. discourse-chat
may add a `channel` data source.
This functionality is hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
flag, except for the change to `setupHashtagAutocomplete` since only core and
discourse-chat are using that function. Note this PR does **not** include required
changes for hashtag lookup or new styling.
The previous sprockets implementation was including admin-specific JS in the plugin's main JS file, which would be served to all users regardless of admin status. This commit achieves the same result under the ember-cli plugin asset compiler with one difference: the admin js is compiled into a separate file. That means that in future, we'll be able to make it loaded only for admins. For now though, it's loaded for everyone, just like before.
When `EMBER_CLI_PLUGIN_ASSETS=1`, plugin application JS will be compiled via Ember CLI. In this mode, the existing `register_asset` API will cause any registered JS files to be made available in `/plugins/{plugin-name}_extra.js`. These 'extra' files will be loaded immediately after the plugin app JS file, so this should not affect functionality.
Plugin compilation in Ember CLI is implemented as an addon, similar to the existing 'admin' addon. We bypass the normal Ember CLI compilation process (which would add the JS to the main app bundle), and reroute the addon Broccoli tree into a separate JS file per-plugin. Previously, Sprockets would add compiled templates directly to `Ember.TEMPLATES`. Under Ember CLI, they are compiled into es6 modules. Some new logic in `discourse-boot.js` takes care of remapping the new module names into the old-style `Ember.TEMPLATES`.
This change has been designed to be a like-for-like replacement of the old plugin compilation system, so we do not expect any breakage. Even so, the environment variable flag will allow us to test this in a range of environments before enabling it by default.
A manual silence implementation is added for the build-time `ember-glimmer.link-to.positional-arguments` deprecation while we work on a better story for plugins.
This commit introduces a new plugin API to register
a group of stats that will be included in about.json
and also conditionally in the site about UI at /about.
The usage is like this:
```ruby
register_about_stat_group("chat_messages", show_in_ui: true) do
{
last_day: 1,
"7_days" => 10,
"30_days" => 100,
count: 1000,
previous_30_days: 120
}
end
```
In reality the stats will be generated any way the implementer
chooses within the plugin. The `last_day`, `7_days`, `30_days,` and `count`
keys must be present but apart from that additional stats may be added.
Only those core 4 stat keys will be shown in the UI, but everything will be shown
in about.json.
The stat group name is used to prefix the stats in about.json like so:
```json
"chat_messages_last_day": 2322,
"chat_messages_7_days": 2322,
"chat_messages_30_days": 2322,
"chat_messages_count": 2322,
```
The `show_in_ui` option (default false) is used to determine whether the
group of stats is shown on the site About page in the Site Statistics
table. Some stats may be needed purely for reporting purposes and thus
do not need to be shown in the UI to admins/users. An extension to the Site
serializer, `displayed_about_plugin_stat_groups`, has been added so this
can be inspected on the client-side.
This commit introduces two new APIs for handling unused uploads, one
can be used to exclude uploads in bulk when the data model allow and
the other one excludes uploads one by one.

A plugin API that allows customizing existing topic-backed static pages, like:
faq, tos, privacy (see: StaticController) The block passed to this
method has to return a SiteSetting name that contains a topic id.
```
add_topic_static_page("faq") do |controller|
current_user&.locale == "pl" ? "polish_faq_topic_id" : "faq_topic_id"
end
```
You can also add new pages in a plugin, but remember to add a route,
for example:
```
get "contact" => "static#show", id: "contact"
```
We previously used ConsolidateNotifications with a threshold of 1 to re-use an existing notification and bump it to the top instead of creating a new one. It produces some jumpiness in the user notification list, and it relies on updating the `created_at` attribute, which is a bit hacky.
As a better alternative, we're introducing a new plan that deletes all the previous versions of the notification, then creates a new one.
* REFACTOR: Improve support for consolidating notifications.
Before this commit, we didn't have a single way of consolidating notifications. For notifications like group summaries, we manually removed old ones before creating a new one. On the other hand, we used an after_create callback for likes and group membership requests, which caused unnecessary work, as we need to delete the record we created to replace it with a consolidated one.
We now have all the consolidation rules centralized in a single place: the consolidation planner class. Other parts of the app looking to create a consolidable notification can do so by calling Notification#consolidate_or_save!, instead of the default Notification#create! method.
Finally, we added two more rules: one for re-using existing group summaries and another for deleting duplicated dashboard problems PMs notifications when the user is tracking the moderator's inbox. Setting the threshold to one forces the planner to apply this rule every time.
I plan to add plugin support for adding custom rules in another PR to keep this one relatively small.
* DEV: Introduces a plugin API for consolidating notifications.
This commit removes the `Notification#filter_by_consolidation_data` scope since plugins could have to define their criteria. The Plan class now receives two blocks, one to query for an already consolidated notification, which we'll try to update, and another to query for existing ones to consolidate.
It also receives a consolidation window, which accepts an ActiveSupport::Duration object, and filter notifications created since that value.
We aren't translating these settings, so it makes more sense to move them into the code. I added an instance method so plugins can add mappings for custom reasons.
PresenceChannel aims to be a generic system for allow the server, and end-users, to track the number and identity of users performing a specific task on the site. For example, it might be used to track who is currently 'replying' to a specific topic, editing a specific wiki post, etc.
A few key pieces of information about the system:
- PresenceChannels are identified by a name of the format `/prefix/blah`, where `prefix` has been configured by some core/plugin implementation, and `blah` can be any string the implementation wants to use.
- Presence is a boolean thing - each user is either present, or not present. If a user has multiple clients 'present' in a channel, they will be deduplicated so that the user is only counted once
- Developers can configure the existence and configuration of channels 'just in time' using a callback. The result of this is cached for 2 minutes.
- Configuration of a channel can specify permissions in a similar way to MessageBus (public boolean, a list of allowed_user_ids, and a list of allowed_group_ids). A channel can also be placed in 'count_only' mode, where the identity of present users is not revealed to end-users.
- The backend implementation uses redis lua scripts, and is designed to scale well. In the future, hard limits may be introduced on the maximum number of users that can be present in a channel.
- Clients can enter/leave at will. If a client has not marked itself 'present' in the last 60 seconds, they will automatically 'leave' the channel. The JS implementation takes care of this regular check-in.
- On the client-side, PresenceChannel instances can be fetched from the `presence` ember service. Each PresenceChannel can be used entered/left/subscribed/unsubscribed, and the service will automatically deduplicate information before interacting with the server.
- When a client joins a PresenceChannel, the JS implementation will automatically make a GET request for the current channel state. To avoid this, the channel state can be serialized into one of your existing endpoints, and then passed to the `subscribe` method on the channel.
- The PresenceChannel JS object is an ember object. The `users` and `count` property can be used directly in ember templates, and in computed properties.
- It is important to make sure that you `unsubscribe()` and `leave()` any PresenceChannel objects after use
An example implementation may look something like this. On the server:
```ruby
register_presence_channel_prefix("site") do |channel|
next nil unless channel == "/site/online"
PresenceChannel::Config.new(public: true)
end
```
And on the client, a component could be implemented like this:
```javascript
import Component from "@ember/component";
import { inject as service } from "@ember/service";
export default Component.extend({
presence: service(),
init() {
this._super(...arguments);
this.set("presenceChannel", this.presence.getChannel("/site/online"));
},
didInsertElement() {
this.presenceChannel.enter();
this.presenceChannel.subscribe();
},
willDestroyElement() {
this.presenceChannel.leave();
this.presenceChannel.unsubscribe();
},
});
```
With this template:
```handlebars
Online: {{presenceChannel.count}}
<ul>
{{#each presenceChannel.users as |user|}}
<li>{{avatar user imageSize="tiny"}} {{user.username}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
```
This can be used to change the list of topic posters. For example,
discourse-solved can use this to move the user who posted the solution
after the original poster.
The first thing we needed here was an enum rather than a boolean to determine how a directory_column was created. Now we have `automatic`, `user_field` and `plugin` directory columns.
This plugin API is assuming that the plugin has added a migration to a column to the `directory_items` table.
This was created to be initially used by discourse-solved. PR with API usage - https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved/pull/137/
Dir.glob does not guarantee file order and can change when ran on different machines.
This means that running asset precompilation on the exact same codebase will output
different content hashes.
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
Adding a scope from a plugin was broken. This commit fixes it and adds a test.
It also documents the instance method and renames the serialized "id" attribute to "scope_id" to avoid a conflict when the scope also has a parameter with the same name.
This allows plugins to call `register_demon_process` with a Class inheriting from Demon::Base. The unicorn master process will take care of spawning, monitoring and restarting the process. This API should be used with extreme caution, but it is significantly cleaner than spawning processes/threads in an `after_initialize` block.
This commit also cleans up the demon spawning logging so that it uses the same format as unicorn worker logging. It also switches to the block form of `fork` to ensure that Demons exit after running, rather than returning execution to where the fork took place.
Plugin client.en.yml and server.en.yml can now be client/server-(1-100).en.yml. 1 is the lowest priority, and 100 is the highest priority. This allows plugins to set their priority higher than other plugins, so that they can override eachothers' translations.
This consolidates logic used to match routes in ApiKey, UserApiKey and DefaultCurrentUserProvider. This reduces duplicated logic, and will allow UserApiKeysScope to easily re-use the parameter matching logic from ApiKeyScope
Similar to `advanced_filter` I introduced `advanced_order`.
I needed a new option because default orders are evaluated after advanced_filter so I couldn't use it.
Also, that part is a little bit more generic
```
elsif word =~ /order:\w+/
@order = word.gsub('order:', '').to_sym
nil
```
After those changes, I can use them in plugins in this way:
```
Search.advanced_order(:votes) do |posts|
posts.reorder("COALESCE((SELECT dvvc.counter FROM discourse_voting_vote_counters dvvc WHERE dvvc.topic_id = subquery.topic_id), 0) DESC")
end
```

Previously we had a partial fix in place where non human users
were not allowed draft sequences, this left edges around where non
human users asked for drafts yet had none.
For example system could already have a few drafts in place.
This also removes and extensibility point we added that is not in use
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
* DEV: Add framework for filtered plugin registers
Plugins often need to add values to a list, and we need to filter those lists at runtime to ignore values from disabled plugins. This commit provides a re-usable way to do that, which should make it easier to add new registers in future, and also reduce repeated code.
Follow-up commits will migrate existing registers to use this new system
* DEV: Migrate user and group custom field APIs to plugin registry
This gives us a consistent system for checking plugin enabled state, so we are repeating less logic. API changes are backwards compatible
Use a helper method to simplify creating a new register. Previously this would require creating lots of different methods manually, and adding every register to the clear/reset functions
This adds support for a new piece of metadata to your plugin.rb
files. If you add:
```
transpile_js: true
```
Then Discourse will support transpilation of assets in your
`assets/javascripts` directory. Previously they had to be named
`.js.es6` but now regular `.js` will work.
Note this is opt-in because some plugins currently have `.js` files in
app/assets that are not meant to be transpiled.
Going forward all plugins should migrate to this setting as they are
comfortable able to do so.
On startup, (including when starting a rails console) we manipule a
collection of plugin files. Writing these files is done in multiple
observable steps, which presents opportunities for race conditions and
causes temporary corruption.
This commit uses the write, fsync and rename trick to atomically
overwrite these files instead, but reads them first to avoid unnecessary
writes.
c457d3bf was a previous attempt to fix the same problem.
Previously on boot we were always removing and adding the same pre-generated
files and symlinks.
This change attempts to avoid writing any automatically generated content if
it is exactly what it should be on disk.
This corrects issues where running a rails console can temporarily corrupt
internal state in production.
ReviewableScore#types extend the PostActionTypes with their own, storing the result inside a class variable. To avoid overwriting an existing flag, we need to calculate the next flag ID using these types instead of the PostAction ones. Since we first call the score types to calculate the id, this list gets memoized, leaving us with an outdated list.
To fix this, we now reload ReviewableScore#types after replacing flags.
- Ensure that the 'notify_moderators' flag is always the last flag when using custom flags.
- Support passign a custom FlagSettings object when replacing flags to reuse existing ones.
According to the [Rails
Source](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/railties/databases.rake#L20)
the `ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrations_paths` are overwritten with the
value of `ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.migrations_paths` every
time the config is loaded.
This caused a bug for Discourse development where if you ran:
`rake db:drop db:create db:migrate` in one line, you would not get our
post migrations, as those had a custom value for `migrations_paths`.
The fix is to use `ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.migrations_paths`
to set up all our custom paths. Everything seems to work as expected.
Prior to this change plugin migrations were not working and multisite
migrations not working.
Rails internals changed so we need to account for it.
Specifically semantics of `db:migrate` in rails changed so it is sort of
a "multisite:migrate".
