Profiling showed that we were roughly 10% of a request time creating all
the ActiveRecord objects for categories in the `Site` model on a site with 61 categories.
Instead of querying for the categories each time based on which categories the user can see,
we can just preload all of the categories upfront and filter out the
categories that the user can not see.
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
This PR adds a new category setting which is a column in the `categories` table, `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post`.
What this does is:
* Inside the `can_edit_post?` method of `PostGuardian`, if the current user editing a post is the owner of the post, it is the first post, and the topic's category has `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post`, then we bypass the check for `LimitedEdit#edit_time_limit_expired?` on that post.
* Also, similar to wiki topics, in `PostActionNotifier#after_create_post_revision` we send a notification to all users watching a topic when the OP is edited in a topic with the category setting `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post` enabled.
This is useful for forums where there is a Marketplace or similar category, where topics are created and then updated indefinitely by the OP rather than the OP making new topics or additional replies. In a way this acts similar to a wiki that only one person can edit.
* FEATURE: allow category group moderators to pin/unpin topics
Category group moderators should be able to pin/unpin any topics within a category where they have appropraite category group moderator permissions.
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.
Disabling shared drafts used to leave topics in an inconsistent state
where they were not displayed as shared drafts and thus there was no
way of publishing them. Moreover, they were accessible just to users
who have permissions to create shared drafts.
This commit adds another permission check that is used for most
operations and the old can_create_shared_draft? remains used just when
creating a new shared draft.
Splits the `ToggleTopicClosed` job into two distinct `OpenTopic` and `CloseTopic` jobs to make the code clearer. The old job cannot be deleted yet because of outstanding sidekiq schedules, so a todo has been added to do so later this year.
Also replaced mentions of `topic_status_update` with `topic_timer` in some files, because the `topic_status_update` model is obsolete and replaced by topic timer.
Added some shortcut methods for checking if a topic is open/whether a user can change an open topic.
These are a few small tweaks that slightly improve performance.
- we omitted 1 query from the post guardian which could cause an N+1
- cook_url has been sped up a bit
- url helper avoids re-creating sets for no reason
This is an edge-case of 9fb3629. An admin could set the shared draft category to one where both TL2 and TL3 users have access but only give shared draft access to TL3 users. If something like this happens, we need to make sure that TL2 users won't be able to see them, and they won't be listed on latest.
Before this change, `SharedDrafts` were lazily created when a destination category was selected. We now create it alongside the topic and set the destination to the same shared draft category.
* FEATURE: Allow categroy group moderators to list/unlist topics
If enabled via SiteSettings, a user belonging to a group which has been granted category group moderator privileges should be able to list/unlist topics belonging to the appropraite category.
You can let non-staff users use shared drafts by modifying the `shared_drafts_min_trust_level` site setting. These users must have access to the shared draft category.
* FEATURE: Allow Category Group Moderators to edit topic titles
Adds category group moderators to the topic guardian’s `can_edit` method.
The value of `can_edit` is returned by the topic view serializer, and this value determines whether the current user can edit the title/category/tags of the topic directly (which category group moderators could already do by editing the first post of a topic).
Note that the value of `can_edit` is now always returned by the topic view serializer (ie, for both true and false values) to cover the case where a topic is moved out of a category that a category group moderator has permissions on, so that when the topic is reloaded the UI picks up that `can_edit` is now false, and thus the edit icon should no longer be displayed.
* DEV: Add a comment explaining why `can_edit` is always returned
* FEATURE - allow category group moderators to delete topics
* Allow individual posts to be deleted
* DEV - refactor for new `can_moderate_topic?` method
* FEATURE: allow category group moderators to edit posts
If the `enable_category_group_moderation` SiteSetting is enabled, posts should be editable by those belonging to the appropraite groups.
When enable_personal_messages was disabled, moderators could not see
the private messages for the "moderators" group. The link was displayed
on the client side, but the checks on the server side did not allow it.
Because we allow all the other flag types on a deleted post we should be
able to send a pm to the user letting them know why we deleted their
post.
Bug report:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/161156
Enabling the moderators_manage_categories_and_groups site setting will allow moderator users to create/manage groups.
* show New Group form to moderators
* Allow moderators to update groups and read logs, where appropriate
* Rename site setting from create -> manage
* improved tests
* Migration should rename old log entries
* Log group changes, even if those changes mean you can no longer see the group
* Slight reshuffle
* RouteTo /g if they no longer have permissions to view group
On large topics, the cost of sending the entire post ID list back over to the database is signficant. Just have the DB recalculate the list of visible posts instead.
Users can now edit the bookmark name and reminder time from their list of bookmarks.
We use "Custom" for the date and time in the modal because if the user set a reminder for "tomorrow" then edit the reminder "tomorrow", the definition of what "tomorrow" is has changed.
* Do not grant badges for posts with no user
* Ensure instructions are correct in Change Owner modal
* Hide user-dependent actions from posts with no user
* Make PostRevisor work with posts with no user
* Ensure posts with no user can be deleted
* discourse-narrative-bot should ignore posts with no user
* Skip TopicLink creation for posts with no user
Previously we were caching by user_id, but the there are only two possible outcomes. Therefore we only need to cache two values.
This removes another N+1 query when serializing multiple user cards.
### UI Changes
If `SiteSetting.enable_bookmarks_with_reminders` is enabled:
* Clicking "Bookmark" on a topic will create a new Bookmark record instead of a post + user action
* Clicking "Clear Bookmarks" on a topic will delete all the new Bookmark records on a topic
* The topic bookmark buttons control the post bookmark flags correctly and vice-versa
Disabled selecting the "reminder type" for bookmarks in the UI because the backend functionality is not done yet (of sending users notifications etc.)
### Other Changes
* Added delete bookmark route (but no UI yet)
* Added a rake task to sync the old PostAction bookmarks to the new Bookmark table, which can be run as many times as we want for a site (it will not create duplicates).
group membership and `CategoryUser` notification level should be
respected to determine whether to notify staged users about activity in
private categories, instead of only ever generating notifications for staged
users' own topics (which has been the behaviour since
0c4ac2a7bc)
If the setting is turned on, then the user will receive information
about the subject: if it was deleted or requires some special access to
a group (only if the group is public). Otherwise, the user will receive
a generic #404 error message. For now, this change affects only the
topics and categories controller.
This commit also tries to refactor some of the code related to error
handling. To make error pages more consistent (design-wise), the actual
error page will be rendered server-side.
* FEATURE: Add tl2 threshold for editing new posts
* Adds a new setting and for tl2 editing posts (30 days same as old value)
* Sets the tl0/tl1 editing period as 1 day
* FIX: Spec uses wrong setting
* Fix site setting on guardian spec
* FIX: post editing period specs
* Avoid shared examples
* Use update_columns to avoid callbacks on user during tests
All posts created by the user are counted unless they are deleted,
belong to a PM sent between a non-human user and the user or belong
to a PM created by the user which doesn't have any other recipients.
It also makes the guardian prevent self-deletes when SSO is enabled.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
This is a feature that used to be present in discourse-assign but is
much easier to implement in core. It also allows a topic to be assigned
without it claiming for review and vice versa and allows it to work with
category group reviewers.
This change shows a notification number besides the flag icon in the
post menu if there is reviewable content associated with the post.
Additionally, if there is pending stuff to review, the icon has a red
background.
We have also removed the list of links below a post with the flag
status. A reviewer is meant to click the number beside the flag icon to
view the flags. As a consequence of losing those links, we've removed
the ability to undo or ignore flags below a post.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

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.

This feature can be enabled by choosing a destination for the
`shared drafts category` site setting.
* Staff members can create shared drafts, choosing a destination
category for the topic when it is published.
* Shared Drafts can be viewed in their category, or above the
topic list for the destination category where it will end up.
* When the shared draft is ready, it can be published to the
appropriate category by clicking a button on the topic view.
* When published, Drafts change their timestamps to the current
time, and any edits to the original post are removed.

Locking a post prevents it from being edited. This is useful if the user
has posted something which has been edited out, and the staff members don't
want them to be able to edit it back in again.
