This change ensures native push notifications respect the site setting for push_notification_time_window_mins. Previously only web push notifications would account for the delay, now we can bring more consistency between Discourse in browser vs Hub, by applying the same delay strategy to both forms of push notifications.
This change is mainly a refactor of the desktop notifications service to improve readability and have standardised values for tracking state for current user in regards to the Notification API and Push API.
Also improves readability when handling push notification jobs, especially in scenarios where the push_notification_time_window_mins site setting is set to 0, which will allow sending push notifications instantly.
This commit introduces the :push_notification event and deprecates :post_notification_alert.
The old :post_notification_alert event was not triggered when pushing chat notifications and did not respect when the user was in "do not disturb" mode.
The new event fixes these issues.
Simplified query based on SiteSettings to join only relevant user_options rows.
In addition, index was added to 'watched_precedence_over_muted` column in `user_options` table to speed up query
In previous PR https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22340 bug was introduced. Notifications were blocked when, even if topic was watched directly. New query is taking TopicUser into consideration.
In addition, in user interface, when `watched_precedence_over_muted` is not set, then value from SiteSetting should be displayed.
Recently, site setting watched_precedence_over_muted was introduced - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22252
In this PR, we are allowing users to override it. The option is only displayed when the user has watched categories and muted tags, or vice versa.
Recently, SQL query returning users who have muted category or tag were introduced, and it is causing performance issues.
It is much more effective to first get IDs of users who have CategoryUser/TagUsers related to specific topic and then in second query get relevant users.
New setting which allow admin to define behavior when topic is in watched category and muted topic and vice versa.
If watched_precedence_over_muted setting is true, that topic is still visible in list of topics and notification is created.
If watched_precedence_over_muted setting is false, that topic is not still visible in list of topics and notification is skipped as well.
At the moment, PMs to groups with default notification level set to
`watching_first_post` do not generate "emailable" notifications. This happens
because, topic user notification level which is indirectly derived
from the group's default notification level is set to `tracking` if the
group's notification level happens to be `watching_first_post`.
This leads to a `group_message_summary` notification being created
instead of a `private_message` notification which results in no email
alerts being sent when a topic is created.
As this `watching_first_post` --> `tracking` switcheroo appears to be
intentional instead being a bug, this change extends `PostAlerter`'s
`notify_pm_users` method to create a `private_message` notification for
first posts created in a `watching_first_post` group even if the topic
user notification level is set to `tracking`
When user.last_seen was less than push_notification_time_window_mins we
where delaying the notification for the whole
push_notification_time_window_mins PLUS the time the user was away from.

* FIX: do not notify admins on suppressed categories
Avoid notifying admins on categories where they are not explicitly members
in cases where SiteSetting.suppress_secured_categories_from_admin is
enabled.
This helps keep notification stream clean and avoids admins mistakenly
being invited to discussions that should be suppressed
The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
There was an issue where if hashtag-cooked HTML was sent
to the ExcerptParser without the keep_svg option, we would
end up with empty </use> and </svg> tags on the parts of the
excerpt where the hashtag was, in this case when a post
push notification was sent.
Fixed this, and also added a way to only display a plaintext
version of the hashtag for cases like this via PrettyText#excerpt.
* DEV: Skip push notifications for active online users
Currently, users with active push subscriptions get push notifications
regardless of their "presence" on the site.
This change introduces a `push_notification_time_window_mins`
site setting which is used in conjunction with a user's `last_seen_at` to
determine if push notifications should be sent. A user is considered to
be actively online if their `last_seen_at` is within `push_notification_time_window_mins`
minutes. `push_notification_time_window_mins` is set to 10 by default.
* DEV: Remove client param for push_notification_time_window_mins site setting

When user is watching category or tag (watching or watching first post) notifications are moved to other tab.
To achieve that and distinguish between post create to directly watched topics and indirectly watched topics, new notification type called `watching_category_or_tag` was introduced.
Related to aeee7ed.
Before the change in aeee7ed, notifications for direct replies to your posts and notifications for replies in watched topics looked the same in the notifications menu -- they both used the arrow icon.
We decided in aeee7ed to distinguish them by changing "watched topics" notifications to use the bell icon because it was confusing for users who watch topics to see the same icon for direct replies and "watched topics". However, that change also means that non-power/new users who receive replies to topics _they create_ will get notifications with the bell icon because technically they're watching the topic, but the arrow icon is more appropriate for this case because we use it throughout the app to indicate "replies".
This commit adds a special-case so that if a user is watching a topic AND the topic is created by them, they receive notifications with the arrow icon (type `replied`) instead of the bell icon (type `posted`) for new posts in the topic.
Internal topic: t/79051.
A user could receive more than a notification for the same post if they
watched both the categories and tags at different levels. This commit
makes sure that only the watching notification is created.
* Add DiscourseEvent before post notifications are created
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.
All users are members of the EVERYONE group, but this group is special and
is omitted from the group_users table. When checking permission we need to
make sure we also add a bypass.
This also fixes a very buggy test in post_alerter, it was confirming the
broken behavior due to fabricator flow.
When it defined the tag group the everyone group automatically had full access
then the additional permission fabricated just added one more group. After
fix was made to code the test started failing. Fabricators can be risky.
When emailing a group inbox and including other support-type
emails (or even just regular ones with autoresponders) in the
CC field, each automated reply to the group inbox triggered
more emails to be sent out to all CC addresses to notify them
of the new reply, which in turn caused more automated emails
to be sent to the group inbox.
This commit fixes the issue by preventing any emails being sent
by the PostAlerter when the new post has an incoming email record
which is_auto_generated, which we detect in Email::Receiver.
I plan to use this in an upcoming discourse-reactions PR, where I want to like a post without notifying the user, so I can instead create a reaction notification.
Additionally, we decouple the a11y attributes from the icon itself, which will let us extend the widget's icon without losing them.
This PR moves the behavior from the PostAlerter. We delete an existing liked notification and set the `username2` attribute to the previous `display_username`. We repeat this process unless the last one is old enough or it's not in the most recent ones.
* REFACTOR: Improve support for consolidating notifications.
Before this commit, we didn't have a single way of consolidating notifications. For notifications like group summaries, we manually removed old ones before creating a new one. On the other hand, we used an after_create callback for likes and group membership requests, which caused unnecessary work, as we need to delete the record we created to replace it with a consolidated one.
We now have all the consolidation rules centralized in a single place: the consolidation planner class. Other parts of the app looking to create a consolidable notification can do so by calling Notification#consolidate_or_save!, instead of the default Notification#create! method.
Finally, we added two more rules: one for re-using existing group summaries and another for deleting duplicated dashboard problems PMs notifications when the user is tracking the moderator's inbox. Setting the threshold to one forces the planner to apply this rule every time.
I plan to add plugin support for adding custom rules in another PR to keep this one relatively small.
* DEV: Introduces a plugin API for consolidating notifications.
This commit removes the `Notification#filter_by_consolidation_data` scope since plugins could have to define their criteria. The Plan class now receives two blocks, one to query for an already consolidated notification, which we'll try to update, and another to query for existing ones to consolidate.
It also receives a consolidation window, which accepts an ActiveSupport::Duration object, and filter notifications created since that value.
Use @here to mention all users that were allowed to topic directly or
through group, who liked topics or read the topic. Only first 10 users
will be notified.
We are pushing /notification-alert/#{user_id} and /notification/#{user_id}
messages to MessageBus from both PostAlerter and User#publish_notification_state.
This can cause memory issues on large sites with many users. This commit
stems the bleeding by only sending these alert messages if the user
in question has been seen in the last 30 days, which eliminates a large
chunk of users on some sites.
When 31035010af
was done it failed to take into account the case where the smtp_enabled
site setting was true, but the topic had no allowed groups / no
incoming email record, which caused errors for topics even with
nothing to do with group SMTP.
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.
Calling create_notification_alert could still send a notification to a
suspended user. This just moves the check if user is suspended right
before sending the notification.
Also promote the `create_notification_alert` and `push_notification`
methods from instance methods to class methods so that plugins can call
them. This is temporary until we add a more comprehensive API for
extending `PostAlerter`.
