There are certain design decisions that were made in this commit.
Private messages implements its own version of topic tracking state because there are significant differences between regular and private_message topics. Regular topics have to track categories and tags while private messages do not. It is much easier to design the new topic tracking state if we maintain two different classes, instead of trying to mash this two worlds together.
One MessageBus channel per user and one MessageBus channel per group. This allows each user and each group to have their own channel backlog instead of having one global channel which requires the client to filter away unrelated messages.
Will show the last 6 seen users as filtering suggestions when typing @ in quick search. (Previously the user suggestion required a character after the @.)
This also adds a default limit of 6 to the user search query, previously the backend was returning 20 results but a maximum of 6 results was being shown anyway.
User flair was given by user's primary group. This PR separates the
two, adds a new field to the user model for flair group ID and users
can select their flair from user preferences now.
I merged this PR in yesterday, finally thinking this was done https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12958 but then a wild performance regression occurred. These are the problem methods:
1aa20bd681/app/serializers/topic_tracking_state_serializer.rb (L13-L21)
Turns out date comparison is super expensive on the backend _as well as_ the frontend.
The fix was to just move the `treat_as_new_topic_start_date` into the SQL query rather than using the slower `UserOption#treat_as_new_topic_start_date` method in ruby. After this change, 1% of the total time is spent with the `created_in_new_period` comparison instead of ~20%.

History:

If you went to the `x unread` link for a tag Chrome would freeze up and possibly crash, or eventually unfreeze after nearly 10 mins. Other routes for unread/new were similarly slow. From profiling the issue was the `sync` function of `topic-tracking-state.js`, which calls down to `isNew` which in turn calls `moment`, a change I had made in the PR above. The time it takes locally with ~1400 topics in the tracking state is 2.3 seconds.
To solve this issue, I have moved these calculations for "created in new period" and "unread not too old" into the tracking state serializer.
When I was looking at the profiler I also noticed this issue which was just compounding the problem. Every time we modify topic tracking state we recalculate the sidebar tracking/everything/tag counts. However this calls `forEachTracked` and `countTags` which can be quite expensive as they go through the whole tracking state (and were also calling the removed moment functions).
I added some logs and this was being called 30 times when navigating to a new /unread route because `sync` is being called from `build-topic-route` (one for each topic loaded due to pagination). So I just added a debounce here and it makes things even faster.
Finally, I changed topic tracking state to use a Map so our counts of the state keys is faster (Maps have .size whereas objects you have to do Object.keys(obj) which is O(n).)

In Ember CLI, the vendor bundler includes Ember/jQuery, so this brings
our app closer to that configuration.
We have a couple pages (Reset Password / Confirm New Email) where we need
`ember_jquery` without vendor so the file still exists for those cases.

If the "use_site_small_logo_as_system_avatar" setting is enabled, the site's small logo is displayed as the selected option by the avatar-selector. Choosing a different avatar disables the setting.
The user and an admin could create multiple email change requests for
the same user. If any of the requests was validated and it became
primary, the other request could not be deleted anymore.
* FIX: Do not show expired invites under Pending tab
* DEV: Controller action was renamed in previous commit
* FEATURE: Add 'Expired' tab to invites
* FEATURE: Refresh model after removing expired invites
* FEATURE: Do not immediately add invite to the list
Opening the 'create-invite' modal used to automatically generate an
invite to reserve an invite link. If the user did not save it and
closed the modal, the invite would be destroyed. This operations caused
the invite list to change in the background and confuse users.
* FEATURE: Sort redeemed users by creation time
* UX: Improve show / hide advanced options link
* FIX: Show redeemed users even if invites were trashed
* UX: Change modal title when editing invite
* UX: Remove Get Link button
Users can get it from the edit modal
* FEATURE: Add limit for invite links generated by regular users
* FEATURE: Add option to skip email
* UX: Show better error messages
* FIX: Show "Invited by" even if invite was trashed
Follow up to 1fdfa13a099d8e46edd0c481b3aaaafe40455ced.
* FEATURE: Add button to save without sending email
Follow up to c86379a465f28a3cc64a4a8c939cf32cf2931659.
* DEV: Use a buffer to hold all changed data
* FEATURE: Close modal after save
* FEATURE: Rate limit resend invite email
* FEATURE: Make the save buttons smarter
* FEATURE: Do not always send email even for new invites
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.
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.
This moves all the rate limiting for user second factor (based on `params[:second_factor_token]` existing) to the one place, which rate limits by IP and also by username if a user is found.
Lots of changes but it's mostly a refactoring.
The interesting part that was fix are the 'load_problem_<model>_ids' methods.
They will now return records with no search data associated so they can be properly indexed for the search.
This "bad" state usually happens after a migration.
This adds a new table UserNotificationSchedules which stores monday-friday start and ends times that each user would like to receive notifications (with a Boolean enabled to remove the use of the schedule). There is then a background job that runs every day and creates do_not_disturb_timings for each user with an enabled notification schedule. The job schedules timings 2 days in advance. The job is designed so that it can be run at any point in time, and it will not create duplicate records.
When a users saves their notification schedule, the schedule processing service will run and schedule do_not_disturb_timings. If the user should be in DND due to their schedule, the user will immediately be put in DND (message bus publishes this state).
The UI for a user's notification schedule is in user -> preferences -> notifications. By default every day is 8am - 5pm when first enabled.
We should always hide user_id in response when `hide_email_address_taken` setting is enabled. Currently, it can be used to determine if the email was used or not.
- IgnoredUser records should all now have an expiring_at value. This commit enforces that in the DB, and fixes any corrupt rows
- Changes to the ignored user list are now handled by the `/u/{username}/notification_level` endpoint. This allows setting expiration dates on the ignore. This commit removes the old logic for saving a list of usernames in the user preferences.
- Many specs were calling `IgnoredUser.create`. This commit changes them to use `Fabricate(:ignored_user)` for consistency
* FEATURE: Allow List for PMs
This feature adds a new user setting that is disabled by default that
allows them to specify a list of users that are allowed to send them
private messages. This way they don't have to maintain a large list of
users they don't want to here from and instead just list the people they
know they do want. Staff will still always be able to send messages to
the user.
* Update PR based on feedback
This commit is for a frequently requested task on meta so that only 1
API call is needed instead of 3!
In order to create a user via the api and not have them receive an
activation email you can pass in the `active=true` flag. This prevents
sending an email, but it is only half of the solution and puts the db in
a weird state where it has an active user with an unconfirmed email.
This commit fixes that and ensures that if the `active=true` flag is set
the user's email is also marked as confirmed.
This change only applies to admins using the API.

This is so users with huge amount of bookmarks do not have to wait a long time to see results.
* Add a bookmark list and list serializer to server-side to be able to handle paging and load more URL
* Use load-more component to load more bookmark items, 20 at a time in user activity
* Change the way current user is loaded for bookmark ember models because it was breaking/losing resolvedTimezone when loading more items
* FEATURE: add setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to auto approve users
This commit adds a new site setting `auto_approve_email_domains` to
auto approve users based on their email address domain.
Note that if a domain already exists in `email_domains_whitelist` then
`auto_approve_email_domains` needs to be duplicated there as well,
since users won’t be able to register with email address that is
not allowed in `email_domains_whitelist`.
* Update config/locales/server.en.yml
Co-Authored-By: Robin Ward <robin.ward@gmail.com>
* DEV: Replace User.unstage and User#unstage API with User#unstage!
Quoting @SamSaffron:
> User.unstage mixes concerns of both unstaging users and updating params which is fragile/surprising.
> u.unstage destroys notifications and raises a user_unstaged event prior to the user becoming unstaged and the user object being saved.
User#unstage! no longer updates user attributes and saves the object before triggering the `user_unstaged` event.
* Update one more spec
* Assign attributes after unstaging
On some sites when bootstrapping communities it is helpful to bootstrap
with a "light weight" invite code.
Use the site setting `invite_code` to set a global invite code.
In this case the administrator can share the code with
a community which is very easy to remember and then anyone who has
that code can easily register accounts.
People without the invite code are not allowed account registration.
Global invite codes are less secure than indevidual codes, in that they
tend to leak in the community however in some cases when starting a brand
new community the security guarantees of invites are not needed.
* This PR changes the user activity bookmarks stream to show a new list of bookmarks based on the Bookmark record.
* If a bookmark has a name or reminder it will be shown as metadata above the topic title in the list
* The categories, tags, topic status, and assigned show for each bookmarked post based on the post topic
* Bookmarks can be deleted from the [...] menu in the list
* As well as this, the list of bookmarks from the quick access panel is now drawn from the Bookmarks table for a user:
* All of this new functionality is gated behind the enable_bookmarks_with_reminders site setting
The /bookmarks/ route now redirects directly to /user/:username/activity/bookmarks-with-reminders
* The structure of the Ember for the list of bookmarks is not ideal, this is an MVP PR so we can start testing this functionality internally. There is a little repeated code from topic.js.es6. There is an ongoing effort to start standardizing these lists that will be addressed in future PRs.
* This PR also fixes issues with feature detection for at_desktop bookmark reminders
Introduces `/user-cards.json`
Also allows the client-side user model to be passed an existing promise when loading, so that multiple models can share the same AJAX request
Meta: https://meta.discourse.org/t/improve-error-message-when-not-including-name-setting-up-totp/143339
* when the user creates a TOTP second factor method we want
to show them a nicer error if they forget to add a name
or the code from the app, instead of the param missing error
* also add a client-side check for this and for security key name,
no need to bother the server if we can help it
Anonymous users could query the invite json and see counts and
summaries which is not allowed in the UX of Discourse.
This commit has those endpoints return a 403 unless the user is
allowed to invite.
Now if a group is visible but unmentionable, users can search for it
when composing by typing with `@`, but it will be rendered without the
grey background color.
It will also no longer pop up a JIT warning saying "You are about to
mention X people" because the group will not be mentioned.
Adds a new route `/u/{username}/card.json`, which has a reduced number of fields. This change is behind a hidden site setting, so we can test compatibility before rolling out.
The ROTP gem is only used in a very small amount of places in the app, we don't need to globally require it.
Also set the Addressable gem to not have a specific version range, as it has not been a problem yet.
Some slight refactoring of UserSecondFactor here too to use SecondFactorManager to avoid code repetition
* DEV: Remove unused omit_stats variable from user serializer
This was hard-coded to true in a8b5192efd, and is no longer used anywhere
* Remove attribute declarations
* Add timezone to user_options table
* Also migrate existing timezone values from UserCustomField,
which is where the discourse-calendar plugin is storing them
* Allow user to change their core timezone from Profile
* Auto guess & set timezone on login & invite accept & signup
* Serialize user_options.timezone for group members. this is so discourse-group-timezones can access the core user timezone, as it is being removed in discourse-calendar.
* Annotate user_option with timezone
* Validate timezone values
* Fix user title logic when badge name customized
* Fix an issue where a user's title was not considered a badge granted title when the user used a badge for their title and the badge name was customized. this affected the effectiveness of revoke_ungranted_titles! which only operates on badge_granted_titles.
* When a user's title is set now it is considered a badge_granted_title if the badge name OR the badge custom name from TranslationOverride is the same as the title
* When a user's badge is revoked we now also revoke their title if the user's title matches the badge name OR the badge custom name from TranslationOverride
* Add a user history log when the title is revoked to remove confusion about why titles are revoked
* Add granted_title_badge_id to user_profile, now when we set badge_granted_title on a user profile when updating a user's title based on a badge, we also remember which badge matched the title
* When badge name (or custom text) changes update titles of users in a background job
* When the name of a badge changes, or in the case of system badges when their custom translation text changes, then we need to update the title of all corresponding users who have a badge_granted_title and matching granted_title_badge_id. In the case of system badges we need to first get the proper badge ID based on the translation key e.g. badges.regular.name
* Add migration to backfill all granted_title_badge_ids for both normal badge name titles and titles using custom badge text.
* FEATURE: Site setting/ui to allow users to set their primary group
* prettier and remove logic from account template
* added 1 to 43 to make web_hook_user_serializer_spec pass
This feature amends it so instead of using one challenge and honeypot
statically per site we have a rotating honeypot and challenge value which
changes every hour.
This means you must grab a fresh copy of honeypot and challenge value once
an hour or account registration will be rejected.
We also now cycle the value of the challenge when after successful account
registration forcing an extra call to hp.json between account registrations
Client has been made aware of these changes.
Additionally this contains a JavaScript workaround for:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=987293
This is client side code that is specific to Chrome user agent and swaps
a PASSWORD type honeypot with a TEXT type honeypot.
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.
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
Adds 2 factor authentication method via second factor security keys over [web authn](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Authentication_API).
Allows a user to authenticate a second factor on login, login-via-email, admin-login, and change password routes. Adds registration area within existing user second factor preferences to register multiple security keys. Supports both external (yubikey) and built-in (macOS/android fingerprint readers).
