Hard deleting topics that contained soft deleted posts or small actions
used to create orphan posts because only the first post was hard
deleted. This commit adds an error message if there are still posts left
in the topic that must be hard deleted first or hard deletes all small
actions too immediately (there is no other way of hard deleting a small
action because there is no wrench menu).
When viewing a topic, we execute two queries to fetch the topic's
public topic timer and slow mode timer. The former query happens to be
able to use a unique index but the latter has to do a seq scan which is
slow. The query itself is not expensive but since viewing a topic is a
hot path, the little cuts add up overtime and the query itself
contributes significantly to the load of the database.
It makes more sense to use user_ids for the UserCommScreener
introduced in fa5f3e228c since
in most cases the ID will be available, not the username. This
was discovered while starting work on a plugin that will
use this. In the cases where only usernames are available
the extra query is negligble.
The idea behind this refactor is to centralise all of the user ignoring / muting / disallow PM checks in a single place, so they can be used consistently in core as well as for plugins like chat, while improving the main bulk of the checks to run in a single fast non-AR query.
Also fixed up the invite error when someone is muting/ignoring the user that is trying to invite them to the topic.
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.
Updates automatically data on the stats section of the topic.
It will update automatically the following information: likes, replies and last reply (timestamp and user)
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.
This commits adds a new advance_draft to PostCreator that controls if
the draft sequence will be advanced or not. If the draft sequence is
advanced then the old drafts will be cleared. This used to happen for
posts created by plugins or through the API and cleared user drafts
by mistake.
* FEATURE: Add external_id to topics
This commit allows for topics to be created and fetched by an
external_id. These changes are API only for now as there aren't any
front changes.
* add annotations
* add external_id to this spec
* Several PR feedback changes
- Add guardian to find topic
- 403 is returned for not found as well now
- add `include_external_id?`
- external_id is now case insensitive
- added test for posts_controller
- added test for topic creator
- created constant for max length
- check that it redirects to the correct path
- restrain external id in routes file
* remove puts
* fix tests
* only check for external_id in webhook if exists
* Update index to exclude external_id if null
* annotate
* Update app/controllers/topics_controller.rb
We need to check whether the topic is present first before passing it to the guardian.

We are planning on attaching bookmarks to more and
more other models, so it makes sense to make a polymorphic
relationship to handle this. This commit adds the new
columns and backfills them in the bookmark table, and
makes sure that any new bookmark changes fill in the columns
via DB triggers.
This way we can gradually change the frontend and backend
to use these new columns, and eventually delete the
old post_id and for_topic columns in `bookmarks`.
The `fancy_title` column in the `topics` table currently has a constraint that limits the column to 400 characters. We need to remove that constraint because it causes some automatic topics/PMs from the system to fail when using Discourse in locales that need more than 400 characters to the translate the content of those automatic messages.
Internal ticket: t58030.
Previously, incorrect reply counts are displayed in the "top categories" section of the user summary page since we included the `moderator_action` and `small_action` post types.

When there are multiple groups on a topic, we were selecting
the first from the topic allowed groups to act as the sender
email address when sending group SMTP replies via PostAlerter.
However, this was not ordered, and since there is no created_at
column on TopicAllowedGroup we cannot order this nicely, which
caused just a random group to be used (based on whatever postgres
decided it felt like that morning).
This commit changes the group used for SMTP sending to be the
group using the email_username of the to address of the first
incoming email for the topic, if there are more than one allowed
groups on the topic. Otherwise it just uses the only SMTP enabled
group.
Previously, suppressed category topics are included in the digest emails if the user visited that topic before and the `TopicUser` record is created with any notification level except 'muted'.
* PERF: Remove JOIN on categories for PM search
JOIN on categories is not needed when searchin in private messages as
PMs are not categorized.
* DEV: Use == for string comparison
* PERF: Optimize query for allowed topic groups
There was a query that checked for all topics a user or their groups
were allowed to see. This used UNION between topic_allowed_users and
topic_allowed_groups which was very inefficient. That was replaced with
a OR condition that checks in either tables more efficiently.
When inviting a group to a topic, there may be members of
the group already in the topic as topic allowed users. These
can be safely removed from the topic, because they are implicitly
allowed in the topic based on their group membership.
Also, this prevents issues with group SMTP emails, which rely
on the topic_allowed_users of the topic to send to and cc's
for emails, and if there are members of the group as topic_allowed_users
then that complicates things and causes odd behaviour.
We also ensure that the OP of the topic is not removed from
the topic_allowed_users when a group they belong to is added,
as it will make it harder to add them back later.
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.
* PERF: Improve database query perf when loading topics for a category.
Instead of left joining the `topics` table against `categories` by filtering with `categories.id`,
we can improve the query plan by filtering against `topics.category_id`
first before joining which helps to reduce the number of rows in the
topics table that has to be joined against the other tables and also
make better use of our existing index.
The following is a before and after of the query plan for a category
with many subcategories.

* PERF: Optimize index on topics bumped_at.
Replace `index_topics_on_bumped_at` index with a partial index on `Topic#bumped_at` filtered by archetype since there is already another index that covers private topics.
We don't need no stinkin' denormalization! This commit ignores
the topic_id column on bookmarks, to be deleted at a later date.
We don't really need this column and it's better to rely on the
post.topic_id as the canonical topic_id for bookmarks, then we
don't need to remember to update both columns if the bookmarked
post moves to another topic.
This reverts a part of changes introduced by https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/13947
In that PR I:
1. Disallowed topic feature links for TL-0 users
2. Additionally, disallowed just putting any URL in topic titles for TL-0 users
Actually, we don't need the second part. It introduced unnecessary complexity for no good reason. In fact, it tries to do the job that anti-spam plugins (like Akismet plugin) should be doing.
This PR reverts this second change.
This disallows putting URLs in topic titles for TL0 users, which means that:
If a TL-0 user puts a link into the title, a topic featured link won't be generated (as if it was disabled in the site settings)
Server methods for creating and updating topics will be refusing featured links when they are called by TL-0 users
TL-0 users won't be able to put any link into the topic title. For example, the title "Hey, take a look at https://my-site.com" will be rejected.
Also, it improves a bit server behavior when creating or updating feature links on topics in the categories with disabled featured links. Before the server just silently ignored a featured link field that was passed to him, now it will be returning 422 response.
When configured, all topics in the category inherits the slow mode
duration from the category's default.
Note that currently there is no way to remove the slow mode from the
topics once it has been set.
The duration column has been ignored since the commit
4af77f1e38
for topic_timers, we use duration_minutes instead.
Also removing the duration key from Topic.set_or_create_timer. The only
plugin to use this was discourse-solved, which doesn't use it any
longer
since
c722b94a97
ATM it only implements server side of it, as my need is for automation purposes. However it should probably be added in the UI too as it's unexpected to have pinned_until and no bannered_until.
This PR changes the `UserNotification` class to send outbound `user_private_message` using the group's SMTP settings, but only if:
* The first allowed_group on the topic has SMTP configured and enabled
* SiteSetting.enable_smtp is true
* The group does not have IMAP enabled, if this is enabled the `GroupSMTPMailer` handles things
The email is sent using the group's `email_username` as both the `from` and `reply-to` address, so when the user replies from their email it will go through the group's SMTP inbox, which needs to have email forwarding set up to send the message on to a location (such as a hosted site email address like meta@discoursemail.com) where it can be POSTed into discourse's handle_mail route.
Also includes a fix to `EmailReceiver#group_incoming_emails_regex` to include the `group.email_username` so the group does not get a staged user created and invited to the topic (which was a problem for IMAP), as well as updating `Group.find_by_email` to find using the `email_username` as well for inbound emails with that as the TO address.
#### Note
This is safe to merge without impacting anyone seriously. If people had SMTP enabled for a group they would have IMAP enabled too currently, and that is a very small amount of users because IMAP is an alpha product, and also because the UserNotification change has a guard to make sure it is not used if IMAP is enabled for the group. The existing IMAP tests work, and I tested this functionality by manually POSTing replies to the SMTP address into my local discourse.
There will probably be more work needed on this, but it needs to be tested further in a real hosted environment to continue.
If reload a page after enabling slow mode and open the slow mode dialog again it would show a slow mode interval but wouldn't show Enabled Until value. This PR fixes it.
The old share modal used to host both share and invite functionality,
under two tabs. The new "Share Topic" modal can be used only for
sharing, but has a link to the invite modal.
Among the sharing methods, there is also "Notify" which points out
that existing users will simply be notified (this was not clear
before). Staff members can notify as many users as they want, but
regular users are restricted to one at a time, no more than
max_topic_invitations_per_day. The user will not receive another
notification if they have been notified of the same topic in past hour.
The "Create Invite" modal also suffered some changes: the two radio
boxes for selecting the type (invite or email) have been replaced by a
single checkbox (is email?) and then the two labels about emails have
been replaced by a single one, some fields were reordered and the
advanced options toggle was moved to the bottom right of the modal.
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.
It was used both when inviting from a topic page and when creating
invites with "Send to topic on first login", while it should be used
only in the former case.
The user interface has been reorganized to show email and link invites
in the same screen. Staff has more control over creating and updating
invites. Bulk invite has also been improved with better explanations.
On the server side, many code paths for email and link invites have
been merged to avoid duplicated logic. The API returns better responses
with more appropriate HTTP status codes.
When `PostCreator` creates a new topic it loads the `allowed_groups` of the topic. `Fabricate` doesn't do that and that's why the existing spec worked even though it should have failed, because `PostAlerter#notify_group_summary` didn't create a notification for a non-fabricated topic.
`Topic#invite_group` added a new `TopicAllowedGroup` record without reloading `Topic.allowed_groups`. A subsequent call to `PostAlerter#notify_group_summary` didn't work because it didn't find the invited group in the topic's `allowed_groups` association.
though other participants are not in allowed list)
If you create an allowlist of users who can PM you, and use the function
“Only specific users can send me private messages”, then you can’t be
added to group messages unless everyone in that message is already in
your allow list.
This commit allows user to be added to a group message even when other
participants are not in allowed list
