The script `send_chat_message` when used with the `post_created_edited` trigger now accepts `{{post_quote}}` as placeholder for the value of `message`.
This is made possible by a new method in `utils`. Usage:
```ruby
placeholders["foo"] = utils.build_quote(post)
```
This commit converts the current chat plugin UI into the
new "show plugin" UI already followed by AI and Gamification.
In the process, I also:
* Made a dedicated /new route to create new webhooks
* Converted the webhook form to FormKit
* Made some fixes and improvements to the `AdminPluginConfigPage`, `AdminPageHeader`,
and `AdminPageSubheader` generic components, so more plugins can
adopt the UI guidelines too. This includes adding a header outlet so plugins
can add action buttons to the plugin show page header.
* Fixes the submit button loading state for FormKit (by Joffrey)

We need to start printing deprecation notices when the `show_in_ui` argument is used because it works only for the old about page which will be removed soon. For the new about page, we've introduced a new API `addAboutPageActivity` which is more flexible than a true/false argument on the server side.
Internal topic: t/136551.
This change introduces a new thread notification level allowing users to get notified when someone replies to the thread.
Users who watch a thread will get a green notification on the chat icon and a user notification (blue). User notifications are consolidated based on thread id to prevent cluttering the original users notification area.

This commit introduces a new frontend API to add custom items to the "Site activity" section in the new /about page. The new API is called `addAboutPageActivity` and it works along side the `register_stat` serve-side API which serializes the data that the frontend API consumes. More details of how the two APIs work together is in the JSDoc comment above the API function definition.
Internal topic: t/128545/9.
In 4e7a75a7ec, we moved to a single admin plugin page and added a few fields to the "plugin serializer" but we already had a proper route with the correct serializers to properly load channels.
This fixes it by removing the "add_to_serializer" calls and changed the calls to "/admin/plugins/chat.json" to the proper "/admin/plugins/chat/hooks.json" route.
Meta - https://meta.discourse.org/t/names-are-missing-from-list-when-creating-new-chat-channel-webhooks/308481
When chat is enabled, there's a scheduled job that runs every 5 minutes to check whether we need to send a "chat summary" email to users with unread chat messages or mentions.
On Discourse with a large number of users, the query used wasn't optimal and sometimes taking minutes. Which isn't good when the query is called every 5 minutes 😬
This PR reworks the query in `Chat::Mailer.send_unread_mentions_summary`.
Instead of starting from the `users` table, it starts from the `user_chat_channel_memberships` table which is the main piece tying everything together.
The new query is mostly similar to the previous one, with some bug fixes (like ensuring the user has `allow_private_messages` enabled for direct messages) and is also slightly simpler since it doesn't keep track of the `memberships_with_unread_messages` anymore. That part has been moved to the `user_notifications.chat_summary` email method.
The `UserEmailExtension` has been deleted since that was using to N+1 update the `user_chat_channel_memberships.last_unread_mention_when_emailed_it`(quite a mouthful 😛) but that's now done directly in the `user_notifications.chat_summary` email method.
The "plat de résistance" of that PR - the `user_notifications.chat_summary` method has been re-worked for improved performances 🚀
Instead of doing everything in one query, it does 4 tiny ones.
- One to retrieve the list of unread mentions (@something) in "category" channels
- One to retrieve the list of unread messages in "direct message" channels (aka. 1-1 and group discussions)
- One to load all the chat messages for each "category" channels from the last unread mention
- One to load all the chat messages for each "direct message" channels from the last unread message
All the specs for both `Chat::Mailer` and `UserNotification.chat_summary` have been rewriten for easier comprehension and faster execution (mostly by not using chat services which makes the specs go 10x slower...)

This change encourages users to title their threads to make it easier for other users to join in on conversations that matter to them.
The creator of the chat thread will receive a toast notification prompting them to add a thread title when on mobile and the thread has at least 5 sent replies.
This is to enable :array type attributes for Contract
attributes in services, this is a followup to the move
of services from chat to core here:

The issue:
When the current user disables chat from within user preferences, the chat button still appears when clicking another user’s profile picture to open the user card. This is also the case when the current user has chat enabled but the target user has disabled chat.
After this change:
- when a user disables chat in preferences, the chat button should not be displayed when opening a user card or visiting profiles of other users.
- when chat is enabled in preferences but another user disables chat, the chat button should not appear on their user card or profile
Prior to this change we would pre-load all the user channels which making initial page load slower. This change will make them be loaded right after initial load. In the past this was not possible as the channels would have to be loaded on each page transition. However since about a year, we made the channels to be cached on the frontend and no other request will be needed.
I have decided for now to not show a loading state in the sidebar as I think it would be noise, but we can reconsider this later.
Note given we don't have the channels loaded at first certain things where harder to accomplish. The biggest UX change of this commit is that we removed all the complex logic of computing the best channel to display when you load /chat. We will now store the id of the last channel you visited and will use this id to decide which channel to show.
This commit adds new plugin show routes (`/admin/plugins/:plugin_id`) as we move
towards every plugin having a consistent UI/landing page.
As part of this, we are introducing a consistent way for plugins
to show an inner sidebar in their config page, via a new plugin
API `register_admin_config_nav_routes`
This accepts an array of links with a label/text, and an
ember route. Once this commit is merged we can start the process
of conforming other plugins to follow this pattern, as well
as supporting a single-page version of this for simpler plugins
that don't require an inner sidebar.

This commit introduces the possibility to stream messages. To allow plugins to use streaming this commit also ships a `ChatSDK` library to allow to interact with few parts of discourse chat.
```ruby
ChatSDK::Message.create_with_stream(raw: "test") do |helper|
5.times do |i|
is_streaming = helper.stream(raw: "more #{i}")
next if !is_streaming
sleep 2
end
end
```
This commit also introduces all the frontend parts:
- messages can now be marked as streaming
- when streaming their content will be updated when a new content is appended
- a special UI will be showing (a blinking indicator)
- a cancel button allows the user to stop the streaming, when cancelled `helper.stream(...)` will return `false`, and the plugin can decide exit early
Affects the following settings:
delete_all_posts_and_topics_allowed_groups
experimental_new_new_view_groups
enable_experimental_admin_ui_groups
custom_summarization_allowed_groups
pm_tags_allowed_for_groups
chat_allowed_groups
direct_message_enabled_groups
chat_message_flag_allowed_groups
This turns off client: true for these group-based settings,
because there is no guarantee that the current user gets all
their group memberships serialized to the client. Better to check
server-side first.
At the moment, when someone is mentioning a group, or using here or
all mention, we create a chat_mention record per user. What we want
instead is to have special kinds of mentions, so we can create only one
chat_mention record in such cases. This PR implements that.
Note, that such mentions will still have N related notifications, one
notification per a user. We don't expect we'll have performance
problems on the notifications side, but if at some point we do, we
should be able to solve them on the side of notifications
(notifications are handled in jobs, also some little delays with
the notifications are acceptable, so we can make sure notifications
are properly queued, and that processing of every notification is
fast enough to make delays small enough).
The preparation work for this PR was done in fbd24fa, where we make
it possible for one mention to have several related notifications.
A pretty tricky part of this PR is schema and data migration, I've explained
related details inline on the migration files.
This adds the following chat metrics:
- _chat_open_channels_with_threads_enabled_ — a count of open channels
where threading is enabled.
- _chat_channel_messages_ — a count of messages sent in a chat channel
(i.e. not a personal chat / direct message), within a thread or outside of a thread.
- _chat_threaded_messages_ — a count of messages sent within a thread
in a chat channel (i.e. not a personal chat / direct messages).
- _chat_direct_messages_ — a count of messages sent in a personal chat / direct messages.
The metrics added using the plugin API introduced in 098ab29d,
and extended in d91456fd.
Note that these stats won't be exposed at the `about.json`
and the `site/statistics.json` routes.
Introduces the concept of image thumbnails in chat, prior to this we uploaded and used full size chat images within channels and direct messages.
The following changes are covered:
- Post processing of image uploads to create the thumbnail within Chat::MessageProcessor
- Extract responsive image ratios into CookedProcessorMixin (used for creating upload variations)
- Add thumbnail to upload serializer from plugin.rb
- Convert chat upload template to glimmer component using .gjs format
- Use thumbnail image within chat upload component (stores full size img in orig-src data attribute)
- Old uploads which don't have thumbnails will fallback to full size images in channels/DMs
- Update Magnific lightbox to use full size image when clicked
- Update Glimmer lightbox to use full size image (enables zooming for chat images)
I took the wrong approach here, need to rethink.

There will soon be additional login_required checks
for Guardian, and the intent of many checks by automated
systems is better fulfilled by using BasicUser, which
simulates a logged in TL0 forum user, rather than an
anon user.
In some cases the use of anon still makes sense (e.g.
anonymous_cache), and in that case the more explicit
`Guardian.anon_user` is used
This commit implements drafts for threads by adding a new `thread_id` column to `chat_drafts` table. This column is used to create draft keys on the frontend which are a compound key of the channel and the thread. If the draft is only for the channel, the key will be `c-${channelId}`, if for a thread: `c-${channelId}:t-${threadId}`.
This commit also moves the draft holder from the service to the channel or thread model. The current draft can now always be accessed by doing: `channel.draft` or `thread.draft`.
Other notable changes of this commit:
- moves ChatChannel to gjs
- moves ChatThread to gjs
This adds the ability to collect stats without exposing them
among other stats via API.
The most important thing I wanted to achieve is to provide
an API where stats are not exposed by default, and a developer
has to explicitly specify that they should be
exposed (`expose_via_api: true`). Implementing an opposite
solution would be simpler, but that's less safe in terms of
potential security issues.
When working on this, I had to refactor the current solution.
I would go even further with the refactoring, but the next steps
seem to be going too far in changing the solution we have,
and that would also take more time. Two things that can be
improved in the future:
1. Data structures for holding stats can be further improved
2. Core stats are hard-coded in the About template (it's hard
to fix it without correcting data structures first, see point 1):
63a0700d45/app/views/about/index.html.erb (L61-L101)
The most significant refactorings are:
1. Introducing the `Stat` model
2. Aligning the way the core and the plugin stats' are registered
When quoting a chat message in a post, if that message contains a mention,
that mention should be ignored. But we've been detecting them and sending
notifications to users. This PR fixes the problem. Since this fix is for
the chat plugin, I had to introduce a new API for plugins:
# We strip posts before detecting mentions, oneboxes, attachments etc.
# We strip those elements that shouldn't be detected. For example,
# a mention inside a quote should be ignored, so we strip it off.
# Using this API plugins can register their own post strippers.
def register_post_stripper(&block)
end
For the admin plugin list we want to be able to link to
a meta topic for plugins, but we have no standard way to
do this at the moment. This adds support for meta_topic_id
alongside other plugin metadata like authors, URL etc,
that gets built into a Meta topic URL in the serializer.
Partial revert of 97a812f022.
Calling hide_plugin also hides the Chat tab in the plugins
section of admin, which is a way plugins can add an advanced
UI (in the case of chat Export and Webhooks).
Until we decide what to do in this case, it's better to revert,
since all this will do is make the discourse-chat plugin show
up again in the plugin list and restore the missing tab.
- Allows to copy quotes from mobile
- Allows to copy text of a message from mobile
- Allows to select messages by clicking on it when selection has started
Note this commit is also now using toasts to show a confirmation of copy, and refactors system specs helpers concerning secondary actions.

This feature adds notifications for chat messages that are sent within personal chats (1:1 and personal group chats).
To prevent notification spam we make use of consolidated notifications to combine updated message information in a meaningful way that allows the receiver to quickly jump into the chat to see what they missed.
This update respects muted channels, muted and blocked users. It will only create a new notification when the user has not muted the channel and the notified user is not muting or ignoring the message sender.
Currently, the logic for creating a new chat message is scattered
between a controller and an “old” service.
This patch address this issue by creating a new service (using the “new”
sevice object system) encapsulating all the necessary logic.
(authorization, publishing events, etc.)
- moves the onebox logic away from `plugin.rb` to a new `onebox_handler` lib
- splits the `discourse_chat_message` template into two: one for channels, and one for messages
- refactors the logic code slightly to send only the necessary arguments to each template
This commit shouldn't change end-user behavior.
Most of the core plugins were already hidden, this hides
chat, styleguide, and checklist to avoid potential confusion
for end users.
Also removes respond_to? :hide_plugin, since that API has been
in place for a while now.
Prior to this commit we were loading a large number of thread messages without any pagination. This commit attempts to fix this and also improves the following points:
- code sharing between channels and threads:
Attempts to reuse/share the code use in channels for threads. To make it possible part of this code has been extracted in dedicated helpers or has been improved to reduce the duplication needed.
Examples of extracted helpers:
- `stackingContextFix`: the ios hack for rendering bug when momentum scrolling is interrupted
- `scrollListToMessage`, `scrollListToTop`, `scrollListToBottom`: a series of helper to correctly scroll to a specific position in the list of messages
- better general performance of listing messages:
One of the main changes which has been made is to remove the computation of visible message during scroll, it will only happen when needed (update last read for example). This constant recomputation of `message.visible` on intersection observer event while scrolling was consuming a lot of CPU time.
This commit makes it so that when the user has unread threads
for a channel we show a blue dot in the sidebar (or channel index
for mobile/drawer).
This blue dot is slightly different from the channel unread messages:
1. It will only show if the new thread messages were created since
the user last viewed the channel
2. It will be cleared when the user views the channel, but the threads
are still considered unread because we want the user to click into
the thread list to view them
This necessitates a change to the current user serializer to also
include the unread thread overview, which is all unread threads
across all channels and their last reply date + time.

The ActiveModel::Types.register(:array) call for chat was
called too late in the Zeitwerk load order in production,
causing this error:
> `lookup': Unknown type :array (ArgumentError)
> raise ArgumentError, "Unknown type #{symbol.inspect}"
> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We need to load the type and register it manually before the rest
of the chat files are loaded via the engine and Zeitwerk.
This small patch registers a new `ActiveModel` type: `array`.
It will split a string on `,` to create a new array. If the value is
already an array, nothing will happen and for all other types, it will
wrap the value in an array.
Here’s an example on an existing contract:
```ruby
attribute :target_usernames
before_validation do
self.target_usernames =
(
if target_usernames.is_a?(String)
target_usernames.split(",")
else
target_usernames
end
)
end
# can be rewritten as:
attribute :target_usernames, :array
```
To export chat messages, go to `/admin/plugins/chat` and click the Create export
button in the _Export chat messages_ section. You'll receive a direct message
when the export is finished.
Currently, this exports all messages from the last 6 months, but not more than
10000 messages.
This exports all chat messages, including messages from private channels and
users' direct conversations. This also exports messages that were deleted.
