his is a new feature that lets admins dismiss notices from the dashboard. This helps with self-service in cases where a notice is "stuck", while we work on provisions to prevent "sticking" in the first place.
Anonymous users are "shadow" users created when an existing real user desires to post anonymously. This feature is off by default, but it can be enabled via the `allow_anonymous_posting` site setting. Those shadow users shouldn't be included in the users directory (`/u`).
In 14cf8eacf1, we added the
`user_search_similar_results` site setting which when enabled will use
trigram matching for similarity search in `UserSearch`. However, we
noted that adding the `index_users_on_username_lower_trgm` index is
causing the PG planner to not use the `index_users_on_username_lower`
index when the `=` operator is used against the `username_lower` column.
Based on the PG mailing list discussion where support for the `=`
operator in gist_trgm_ops was being considered, it stated that "I also have checked that btree_gist is preferred over pg_trgm gist
index for equality search." This is however quite different from reality
on our own PG clusters where the btree index is not preferred leading to
significantly slower queries when the `=` operator is used.
Since the pg_trgm gist index is only used for queries when the `user_search_similar_results` site setting
is enabled, we decided to drop the feature instead as it is hidden and
disabled by default. As such, we can consider it experiemental and drop
it without deprecation.

Currently, when the custom flag has the same name as the system flag (which is disabled) then it is not displayed. To fix the problem, `custom_` prefix as `name_key` is used to distinguish between the system and the custom flag.
I considered writing a migration to fix existing custom flags name key. However, at the end of migration I would need to run rails code to reset cache `Flag.reset_flag_settings!`. I decided to skip that step as it is a very edge case. If someone has the same flag name as the system flag, then all they have to do is edit the flag and click save.
In addition, I made 2 small fixes:
- edit flag title was missing translation;
- flag form UI was not showing that description is the required field.
The Report model spec was directly adding methods
to the Report class, which was causing errors in the
admin reports controller because it would look for
a translation of the report name (e.g. report_timeout_test)
like so `I18n.t("reports.#{type}.title")`, then get an
error because the translation did not exist.
This is fixed by using `Report.stubs` instead, which is
cleaned up after every test.
This commit adds a new `about_page_hidden_groups` setting to exclude members of specific groups from the admin and moderator lists on the /about page.
Internal topic: t/137717.
### UI changes
All of the UI changes described are gated behind the `use_legacy_pageviews`
site setting.
This commit changes the admin dashboard pageviews report to
use the "Consolidated Pageviews with Browser Detection" report
introduced in 2f2da72747 with
the following changes:
* The report name is changed to "Site traffic"
* The pageview count on the dashboard is counting only using the new method
* The old "Consolidated Pageviews" report is renamed as "Consolidated Legacy Pageviews"
* By default "known crawlers" and "other" sources of pageviews are hidden on the report
When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `true`, we do not show or allow running
the "Site traffic" report for admins. When `use_legacy_pageviews` is `false`,
we do not show or allow running the following legacy reports:
* consolidated_page_views
* consolidated_page_views_browser_detection
* page_view_anon_reqs
* page_view_logged_in_reqs
### Historical data changes
Also part of this change is that, since we introduced our new "Consolidated
Pageviews with Browser Detection" report, some admins are confused at either:
* The lack of data before a certain date , which didn’t exist before
we started collecting it
* Comparing this and the current "Consolidated Pageviews" report data,
which rolls up "Other Pageviews" into "Anonymous Browser" and so it
appears inaccurate
All pageview data in the new report before the date where the _first_
anon or logged in browser pageview was recorded is now hidden.
Currently, categories support designating only 1 group as a moderation group on the category. This commit removes the one group limitation and makes it possible to designate multiple groups as mods on a category.
Internal topic: t/124648.
This commit introduces a new hidden site setting: `group_pm_user_limit`, default to `1000` which will raise an error when attempting to create a PM target a large group.
Prior to this fix we were calling `fetch_stats` which is never checking if we have a cache entry. This call is making a lot of SQL calls, so it's better to use the cache.
Follow-up to e3ae57ea7a
The previous commit added an `after_create` callback that triggers a refresh for the user directory whenever a `User` record is created. Theoretically, this approach should work, however, there's a gotcha in practice, because during a real user registration, when the `User` record is created in the database, it's not marked as active until the user verifies their email address and the user directory excludes inactive users, so the initial directory refresh triggered by the `after_create` callback becomes pointless.
To make a new user appear in the user directory immediately after sign up, we need to trigger a refresh via an `after_save` callback when they verify their email address and become active.
Prior this fix a topic created in the future could generate this exception:
```
Job exception: ERROR: a negative number raised to a non-integer power yields a complex result
```
This fix and spec should ensure we don't consider topics in the future as the rest of the `update_scores` function is doing at other places.
This check was checking the wrong scope, causing problems in certain edge conditions, for example:
1. Admin adds an "on signup" field that isn't editable after signup.
2. Admin adds a "for all users" field.
3. User goes and fills up the "for all users" field from 2.
4. User is now stuck on the required fields page without any fields showing.
With this change, we only consider "for all users" fields when asking if required custom fields are filled in.
### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```

end

Currently to handle stub topics after merging, there are only options to (1) never delete a stub topic and (2) delete a stub topic after X amount of days. This adds the option to immediately delete a stub topic upon merge.

Following a recent refactor, some methods from `FlagSettings` have been
renamed (`custom_types` -> `additional_message_types`). The
`PostActionType` model was using `custom_types` but when the renaming
was done, it was renamed to `with_additional_message` instead of
`additional_message_types`, which under the right circumstances will
raise an error.
When creating a shared draft, we're recording topic view stats on the draft and then pass those on when the draft is published, conflating the actual view count.
This fixes that by not registering topic views if the topic is a shared draft.
Currently, when adding translation overrides, values aren’t validated
for MF strings. This results in being able to add invalid plural keys or
even strings containing invalid syntax.
This patch addresses this issue by compiling the string when saving an
override if the key is detected as an MF one.
If there’s an error from the compiler, it’s added to the model errors,
which in turn is displayed to the user in the admin UI, helping them to
understand what went wrong.
* FIX: Add post id to the anchor to prevent two identical anchors
We generate anchors for headings in posts. This works fine if there is
only one post in a topic with anchors. The problem comes when you have
two or more posts with the same heading. PrettyText generates anchors
based on the heading text using the raw context of each post, so it is
entirely possible to generate the same anchor for two posts in the same
topic, especially for topics with template replies
Post1:
# heading
context
Post2:
# heading
context
When both posts are on the page at the same time, the anchor will only
work for the first post, according to the [HTML specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsing-the-web.html#scroll-to-the-fragment-identifier).
> If there is an a element in the document tree whose root is document
> that has a name attribute whose value is equal to fragment, then
> return the *first* such element in tree order.
This bug is particularly serious in forums with non-Latin languages,
such as Chinese. We do not generate slugs for Chinese, which results in
the heading anchors being completely dependent on their order.
```ruby
[2] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文")
=> "<h1><a name=\"h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
Therefore, the anchors in the two posts must be in exactly the same by
order, causing almost all of the anchors in the second post to be
invalid.
This commit solves this problem by adding the `post_id` to the anchor.
The new anchor generation method will add `p-{post_id}` as a prefix when
post_id is available:
```ruby
[3] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文", post_id: 1234)
=> "<h1><a name=\"p-1234-h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#p-1234-h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
This way we can ensure that each anchor name only appears once on the
same topic. Using post id also prevents the potential possibility of the
same anchor name when splitting/merging topics.
Our old group SMTP SSL option was a checkbox,
but this was not ideal because there are actually
3 different ways SSL can be used when sending
SMTP:
* None
* SSL/TLS
* STARTTLS
We got around this before with specific overrides
for Gmail, but it's not flexible enough and now people
want to use other providers. It's best to be clear,
though it is a technical detail. We provide a way
to test the SMTP settings before saving them so there
should be little chance of messing this up.
This commit also converts GroupEmailSettings to a glimmer
component.
Allow admin to create custom flag which requires an additional message.
I decided to rename the old `custom_flag` into `require_message` as it is more descriptive.
The watch words controller creation function, create_or_update_word(), doesn’t validate the size of the replacement parameter, unlike the word parameter, when creating a replace watched word. So anyone with moderator privileges can create watched words with almost unlimited characters.
Allow admin to create custom flag which requires an additional message.
I decided to rename the old `custom_flag` into `require_message` as it is more descriptive.
This patch upgrades the MessageFormat library to version 3.3.0 from
0.1.5.
Our `I18n.messageFormat` method signature is unchanged, and now uses the
new API under the hood.
We don’t need dedicated locale files for handling pluralization rules
anymore as everything is now included by the library itself.
The compilation of the messages now happens through our
`messageformat-wrapper` gem. It then outputs an ES module that includes
all its needed dependencies.
Most of the changes happen in `JsLocaleHelper` and in the `ExtraLocales`
controller.
A new method called `.output_MF` has been introduced in
`JsLocaleHelper`. It handles all the fetching, compiling and
transpiling to generate the proper MF messages in JS. Overrides and
fallbacks are also handled directly in this method.
The other main change is that now the MF translations are served through
the `ExtraLocales` controller instead of being statically compiled in a
JS file, then having to patch the messages using overrides and
fallbacks. Now the MF translations are just another bundle that is
created on the fly and cached by the client.
Drafts used to be deleted instead of being destroyed. The callbacks that
clean up the upload references were not being called. As a result, the
upload references were not cleaned up and uploads were not deleted
either. This has been partially fixed in 9655bf3e.
This change eliminates a couple of instances where subfolder urls are badly formatted, in most cases we can use Discourse.base_url_no_prefix to prevent adding the subfolder to the base url.
Adds a report to show the top 100 most viewed topics in a date range,
combining logged in and anonymous views. Can be filtered by category.
This is a followup to 527f02e99f
and d1191b7f5f. We are also going to
be able to see this data in a new topic map, but this admin report
helps to see an overview across the forum for a date range.
This is a follow up to 005f623c42 where
we want to truncate the user agent string instead of nulling out the
column when the user agent string is too low. By truncating, we still
get to retain information that can still be useful.
Add a new column - `user_agent` - to the `SearchLog` table.
This column can be null as we are only allowing a the user-agent string to have a max length of 2000 characters. In the case the user-agent string surpasses the max characters allowed, we simply nullify the value, and save/write the log as normal.
When tag preference in group and site settings are both used with same default notification level it will break new users signups because it tries to create duplicate records in the tag_users table which can’t happen because we have a unique index set.
If an existing user (John) accepts an invite created by Kenny to a group, John may be seen as invited by Kenny, despite already having an account on the site.
This fix removes the bug by excluding invites that determine the invited_by after the user's creation date. The delay buffer in the query accounts for invites that also create the user at the same time.
Badges can have their associated image uploads deleted. When this happens, any user who has that badge will have their profile page error out.
After this fix, when deleting an upload that's associated with a badge, we nullify the foreign key ID on the badge. This makes the existing safeguard work correctly.
Followup 2f2da72747
When the "Consolidated Pageviews with Browser Detection (Experimental)"
report was introduced, we started counting the original
"page_view_logged_in" and "page_view_anon" ApplicationRequest
data as "Other Pageviews", subtracting
"page_view_anon_browser" and "page_view_logged_in_browser" from
this number.
However we unknowingly automatically started counting these
browser-based page views, which are a subset of the total
"page_view_logged_in" and "page_view_anon" counts, in the
original "Pageviews" report, leading to double counting
which meant that when you looked at the data for each
report side-by-side the data didn't add up.
This commit fixes the issue by not counting the "browser"
pageviews in the Pageviews report, and making the code where
we were only counting certain types of requests for this
report more plain, explicitly stating which types of requests
we want.
When a topic embed is run with either no tags argument or a nil tag argument
this should not affect any existing tags.
Only update topic tags when tags argument is explicitly empty.
* FIX: Division by zero error on WebHookEventsDailyAggregate
* DEV: Update implementation of WebHookEventsDailyAggregate to handle division by zero error
We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.

For Topic Embeds, we would prefer <article> to be the main article in a topic, rather than a table cell <td> with potentially a lot of data. However, in an example URL like here, the table cell (the very large code snippet) is seen as the Topic Embed's article due to the determined content weight by the Readability library we use.
In the newly released 0.7.1 cantino/ruby-readability#94, the library has a new option to exclude the library's default <td> element into content weighting. This is more in line with the original library where they only weighted <p>. So this PR excludes the td, as seen in the tests, to allow the actual article to be seen as the article. This PR also adds the details tag into the allow-list.

This commit contains 3 changes:
- update fixtures order;
- remove position and enable from fixtures (they can be overridden by admin and we don't want seed to restore them);
- migration to fix data if the order was not changed by admin.
This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This commit introduces the following changes which allows a site
administrator to mark `Upload` records with the `s3_file_missing`
verification status which will result in the `Upload` record being ignored when
`Discourse.store.list_missing_uploads` is ran on a site where S3 uploads
are enabled and `SiteSetting.enable_s3_inventory` is set to `true`.
1. Introduce `s3_file_missing` to `Upload.verification_statuses`
2. Introduce `Upload.mark_invalid_s3_uploads_as_missing` which updates
`Upload#verification_status` of all `Upload` records from `invalid_etag` to `s3_file_missing`.
3. Introduce `rake uploads:mark_invalid_s3_uploads_as_missing` Rake task
which allows a site administrator to change `Upload` records with
`invalid_etag` verification status to the `s3_file_missing`
verificaton_status.
4. Update `S3Inventory` to ignore `Upload` records with the
`s3_file_missing` verification status.
This gives us daily fidelity of topic view stats
New table stores a row per topic viewed per day tracking
anonymous and logged on views
We also have a new endpoint `/t/ID/views-stats.json` to get the statistics for the topic.
After flags were moved to the database, with each save they are changing available PostActionTypes. Therefore, flag specs should clear the state before and after each example not just before.
In addition, we need to clear `nil` counts for dynamically created flags from serializer.
* FEATURE: add agree and edit
adds agree and edit - an alias for agree and keep -- but with a client action to

We're planning to implement a feature that allows adding required fields for existing users. This PR does some preparatory refactoring to make that possible. There should be no changes to existing behaviour. Just a small update to the admin UI.
This commit updates `Post#each_upload_url` to reject URLs that do not
have a host which matches `Discourse.current_hostname` but follows the
`/uploads/short-url` uploads URL format. This situation most commonly
happen when users copy upload URL link between different Discourse
sites.
This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.
Whenever one creates, updates, or deletes a post, we should keep the `topic.word_count` counter in sync.
Context - https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/308062
The users directory is updated on a daily cadence. However, when a site is new and doesn't have many users, it can be confusing that a user who has just joined doesn't show up in the users until a day after they join. To eliminate this confusion, this commit triggers a refresh for the users directory as soon as as a user joins, if the site is in bootstrap mode. The reason for the conditional trigger is that refreshing the users directory is an expensive operation and doing it often on a large site with many users could lead to performance problems.
Internal topic: t/126076.
If there's ever a circular reference in categories, don't go into an infinite loop when generating the category slug.
Instead, keep track of parent ids, and bail out as soon as we're encountering one more than once.
In #22851 we added a dependent strategy for deleting upload references when a draft is destroyed. This, however, didn't catch all cases, because we still have some code that issues DELETE drafts queries directly to the database. Specifically in the weekly cleanup job handled by Draft#cleanup!.
This PR fixes that by turning the raw query into an ActiveRecord #destroy_all, which will invoke the dependent strategy that ultimately deletes the upload references. It also includes a post migration to clear orphaned upload references that are already in the database.
This commit introduces the `run_theme_migration` spec helper to allow
theme developers to write RSpec tests for theme migrations. For example,
this allows the following RSpec test to be written in themes:
```
RSpec.describe "0003-migrate-small-links-setting migration" do
let!(:theme) { upload_theme_component }
it "should set target property to `_blank` if previous target component is not valid or empty" do
theme.theme_settings.create!(
name: "small_links",
theme: theme,
data_type: ThemeSetting.types[:string],
value: "some text, #|some text 2, #, invalid target",
)
run_theme_migration(theme, "0003-migrate-small-links-setting")
expect(theme.settings[:small_links].value).to eq(
[
{ "text" => "some text", "url" => "#", "target" => "_blank" },
{ "text" => "some text 2", "url" => "#", "target" => "_blank" },
],
)
end
end
```
This change is being introduced because we realised that writting just
javascript tests for the migrations is insufficient since javascript
tests do not ensure that the migrated theme settings can actually be
successfully saved into the database. Hence, we are introduce this
helper as a way for theme developers to write "end-to-end" migrations
tests.
At the moment, there is no way to create a group of related watched words together. If a user needed a set of words to be created together, they'll have to create them individually one at a time.
This change attempts to allow related watched words to be created as a group. The idea here is to have a list of words be tied together via a common `WatchedWordGroup` record. Given a list of words, a `WatchedWordGroup` record is created and assigned to each `WatchedWord` record. The existing WatchedWord creation behaviour remains largely unchanged.
