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
Previously when inheriting category auto-close settings for a topic, those settings were disrupted if another topic timer was assigned or if a topic was closed then manually re-opened.
This PR makes it so that when a topic is manually re-opened the topic auto-close settings are inherited from the category. However, they will now be based on the topic created_at date. As an example, for a topic with a category auto close hours setting of 72 (3 days):
* Topic was created on 2021-02-15 08:00
* Topic was closed on 2021-02-16 10:00
* Topic was opened again on 2021-02-17 06:00
Now, the topic will inherit the auto close timer again and will close automatically at **2021-02-18 08:00**, which is based on the creation date. If the current date and time is greater than the original auto-close time (e.g. we were at 2021-02-20 13:45) then no auto-close timer is created.
Note, this will not happen if the topic category auto-close setting is "based on last post".
Updating a topic's visibility did not increase or decrease the
topic_count of a category, but Category.update_stats does ignore
unlisted topics which resulted in inconsistencies when deleting
such topics.
This PR allows entering a float value for topic timers e.g. 0.5 for 30 minutes when entering hours, 0.5 for 12 hours when entering days. This is achieved by adding a new column to store the duration of a topic timer in minutes instead of the ambiguous both hours and days that it could be before.
This PR has ommitted the post migration to delete the duration column in topic timers; it will be done in a subsequent PR to ensure that no data is lost if the UPDATE query to set duration_mintues fails.
I have to keep the old keyword of duration in set_or_create_topic_timer for backwards compat, will remove at a later date after plugins are updated.
This is a try to simplify logic around dismiss new topics to have one solution to work in all places - dismiss all-new, dismiss new in a specific category or even in a specific tag.
This PR adds security_last_changed_at and security_last_changed_reason to uploads. This has been done to make it easier to track down why an upload's secure column has changed and when. This necessitated a refactor of the UploadSecurity class to provide reasons why the upload security would have changed.
As well as this, a source is now provided from the location which called for the upload's security status to be updated as they are several (e.g. post creator, topic security updater, rake tasks, manual change).
Moves the topic timer jobs from being scheduled ahead of time with enqueue_at to a 5 minute scheduled run like bookmark reminders, in a new job called Jobs::EnqueueTopicTimers. Backwards compatibility is maintained by checking if an existing topic timer job is enqueued in sidekiq for the timer, and if it is not running it inside the new job.
The functionality to close/open a topic if it is in the opposite state still remains in the after_save block of TopicTimer, with further commentary, which is used for Open/Close Temporarily.
This also removes the ensure_consistency! functionality of topic timers as it is no longer needed; the new job will always pick up the timers because they are not stored in a fragile state of sidekiq.
This PR fixes a race condition with the IMAP notification code. In the `Email::Receiver` we call the `NewPostManager` to create the post and enqueue jobs and sends alerts via `PostAlerter`. However, if the post alerter reaches the `notify_pm_users` and the `group_notifying_via_smtp` method _before_ the incoming email is updated with the post and topic, we unnecessarily send a notification to the person who just posted. The result of this is that the IMAP syncer re-imports the email sent to the user about their own post, which looks like this in the group inbox:
To fix this, we skip the jobs enqueued by `NewPostManager` and only enqueue them with `PostJobsEnqueuer` manually _after_ the incoming email record has been updated with the post and topic.
Other improvements:
* Moved code to calculate email addresses from `IncomingEmail` records into the topic, with a group passed in, for easier testing and debugging. It is not the responsibility of the post alerter to figure this stuff out.
* Add shortcut methods on `IncomingEmail` to split or provide an empty array for to and cc addresses to avoid repetition.
Splits the `ToggleTopicClosed` job into two distinct `OpenTopic` and `CloseTopic` jobs to make the code clearer. The old job cannot be deleted yet because of outstanding sidekiq schedules, so a todo has been added to do so later this year.
Also replaced mentions of `topic_status_update` with `topic_timer` in some files, because the `topic_status_update` model is obsolete and replaced by topic timer.
Added some shortcut methods for checking if a topic is open/whether a user can change an open topic.
- Only initialize the S3Helper when needed
- Skip initializing the S3Helper for S3Store#cdn_url
- Allow cook_url to be passed a `local` hint to skip unnecessary checks
It used to simply say "not allowed" without giving any hint what the
problem could be. This commit refactors the code and tries to improve
readability.
This commit adds a site setting `auto_close_topics_create_linked_topic`
which when enabled works in conjunction with `auto_close_topics_post_count`
setting and creates a new linked topic for the topic just closed.
The auto-created new topic contains a link for all the previous topics
and the topic titles are appended with `(Part {n})`.
The setting is enabled by default.
Adds a new slow mode for topics that are heating up. Users will have to wait for a period of time before being able to post again.
We store this interval inside the topics table and track the last time a user posted using the last_posted_at datetime in the TopicUser relation.
DEV: Replace instances of Discourse.base_uri with Discourse.base_path
This is clearer because the base_uri is actually just a path prefix. This continues the work started in 555f467.
This PR removes the user reminder topic timers, because that system has been supplanted and improved by bookmark reminders. The option is removed from the UI and all existing user reminder topic timers are migrated to bookmark reminders.
Migration does this:
* Get all topic_timers with status_type 5 (reminders)
* Gets all bookmarks where the user ID and topic ID match
* Loops through the found topic timers
* If there is no bookmark for the OP of the topic, then we just create a bookmark with a reminder
* If there is a bookmark for the OP of the topic and it does **not** have a reminder set, then just
update it with the topic timer reminder
* If there is a bookmark for the OP of the topic with a reminder then just discard the topic timer
* Cancels all outstanding user reminder topic timers
* **Trashes (not deletes) all user reminder topic timers**
Notes:
* For now I have left the user reminder topic timer job class in place; this is so the jobs can be cancelled in the migration. It and the specs will be deleted in the next PR.
* At a later date I will write a migration to delete all trashed user topic timers. They are not deleted here in case there are data issues and they need to be recovered.
* A future PR will change the UI of the topic timer modal to make it look more like the bookmark modal.
It's possible that the original topic image is broken in some form, so
we shouldn't try and generate a topic thumbnail for it. The fix will
prevent the generate_topic_thumbnails job being enqueued every time the
topic is viewed.
* DEV: Show message when cannot invite user to PM
When inviting a user to a PM return a message that says, "Sorry, this
user can't be invited." if they have been muted or are not in a users
allowed pm users list.
* Minor refactor & improved some text
This changes PG text search to only match the given title against
lexemes that are formed from the title. Likewise, the given raw will
only be matched against lexemes that are formed from the post's raw.
It's possible through an import or other means to have images larger
than the current max allowed image size in the db.
If this happens the thumbnail generation job will keep running
indefinitely trying to download a new copy of the original but
discarding it because it is larger than the max_file_size eventually
causing this error
`Job exception: undefined method `path' for nil:NilClass`
because the newly downloaded image is now nil.
This fix stops the enqueuing of the `GenerateTopicThumbnails` job for
all images that happen to be larger than the max image size.
If any value, including nil, is passed in as an argument the default
won't be set, so we need to handle when a non-Array value is passed in
to the `generate_thumbnails!` method.
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
* We now have a site setting "topic_excerpt_maxlength" that is used when the OP is created or revised to generate a topic excerpt.
* However, posts created before this setting was introduced cannot benefit from this change unless they are revised, and if the topic excerpt length setting is changed that situation is also not covererd.
* This PR makes a change to rebake! to update the topic excerpt IF the post is the OP.
If image uploads are missing a width/height, we re-download them to update the width/height in the database. However, this takes significant resources so we don't want to run this logic during topic serialization.
This introduces new APIs for obtaining optimized thumbnails for topics. There are a few building blocks required for this:
- Introduces new `image_upload_id` columns on the `posts` and `topics` table. This replaces the old `image_url` column, which means that thumbnails are now restricted to uploads. Hotlinked thumbnails are no longer possible. In normal use (with pull_hotlinked_images enabled), this has no noticeable impact
- A migration attempts to match existing urls to upload records. If a match cannot be found then the posts will be queued for rebake
- Optimized thumbnails are generated during post_process_cooked. If thumbnails are missing when serializing a topic list, then a sidekiq job is queued
- Topic lists and topics now include a `thumbnails` key, which includes all the available images:
```
"thumbnails": [
{
"max_width": null,
"max_height": null,
"url": "//example.com/original-image.png",
"width": 1380,
"height": 1840
},
{
"max_width": 1024,
"max_height": 1024,
"url": "//example.com/optimized-image.png",
"width": 768,
"height": 1024
}
]
```
- Themes can request additional thumbnail sizes by using a modifier in their `about.json` file:
```
"modifiers": {
"topic_thumbnail_sizes": [
[200, 200],
[800, 800]
],
...
```
Remember that these are generated asynchronously, so your theme should include logic to fallback to other available thumbnails if your requested size has not yet been generated
- Two new raw plugin outlets are introduced, to improve the customisability of the topic list. `topic-list-before-columns` and `topic-list-before-link`
We have the `# frozen_string_literal: true` comment on all our
files. This means all string literals are frozen. There is no need
to call #freeze on any literals.
For files with `# frozen_string_literal: true`
```
puts %w{a b}[0].frozen?
=> true
puts "hi".frozen?
=> true
puts "a #{1} b".frozen?
=> true
puts ("a " + "b").frozen?
=> false
puts (-("a " + "b")).frozen?
=> true
```

avg_time on posts and topics have not been used in a year.
This uses a re-runnable ddl transaction diasabled migration to
drop the column, cause it touchs very high traffic table and may
deadlock
If the feature is enabled, staff members can construct a URL and publish a
topic for others to browse without the regular Discourse chrome.
This is useful if you want to use Discourse like a CMS and publish
topics as articles, which can then be embedded into other systems.
New `duration` attribute is introduced for the `set_or_create_timer` method in the commit aad12822b7 for "based on last post" and "auto delete replies" topic timers.
### UI Changes
If `SiteSetting.enable_bookmarks_with_reminders` is enabled:
* Clicking "Bookmark" on a topic will create a new Bookmark record instead of a post + user action
* Clicking "Clear Bookmarks" on a topic will delete all the new Bookmark records on a topic
* The topic bookmark buttons control the post bookmark flags correctly and vice-versa
Disabled selecting the "reminder type" for bookmarks in the UI because the backend functionality is not done yet (of sending users notifications etc.)
### Other Changes
* Added delete bookmark route (but no UI yet)
* Added a rake task to sync the old PostAction bookmarks to the new Bookmark table, which can be run as many times as we want for a site (it will not create duplicates).
Add TopicUploadSecurityManager to handle post moves. When a post moves around or a topic changes between categories and public/private message status the uploads connected to posts in the topic need to have their secure status updated, depending on the security context the topic now lives in.
The following methods have long been deprecated in ruby due to flaws in their implementation per http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb/ruby/ruby-core/29293?29179-31097:
URI.escape
URI.unescape
URI.encode
URI.unencode
escape/encode are just aliases for one another. This PR uses the Addressable gem to replace these methods with its own encode, unencode, and encode_component methods where appropriate.
I have put all references to Addressable::URI here into the UrlHelper to keep them corralled in one place to make changes to this implementation easier.
Addressable is now also an explicit gem dependency.
This ensures we can very quickly figure out which topics are banners if
a banner is set.
Previously you would have to scan an entire table to find banners
Doing .pluck(:column).first is a very common pattern in Discourse and in
most cases, a limit cause isn't being added. Instead of adding a limit
clause to all these callsites, this commit adds two new methods to
ActiveRecord::Relation:
pluck_first, equivalent to limit(1).pluck(*columns).first
and pluck_first! which, like other finder methods, raises an exception
when no record is found
* FIX: Do not encode the URL twice
Now that we encode slugs in the server we don't need this anymore.
Reverts fe5na33
* FIX: More places do deal with encoded slugs
* the param is a string now, not a hash
* FIX: Handle the nil slug on /categories
* DEV: Add seeded? method to identity default categories
* DEV: Use SiteSetting to keep track of seeded categories
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.
Currently, the topic is only validated for censored words and should be validated for blocked words as well.
Blocked word validation is now used by both Post and Topic. To avoid code duplication, I extracted blocked words validation code into separate Validator, and use it in both places.
The only downside is that even if the topic contains blocked words validation message is saying "Your post contains a word that's not allowed: tomato" but I think this is descriptive enough.
Previously we relied on side effects to set tracking state correctly
when inviting groups to messages
Also has a minor optimisation in that we use pluck instead of pulling in
full record
Previously we would unconditionally issue an "invited_to_pm" notification
to all non muting users.
New behavior
- Watching and Watching first post get notified
- Tracking get a new "summary" message
- The rest get nothing
This is consistent with topic creation and way clearer
* FEATURE: Allow choice of category when making a PM public
Previously it would default to uncategorized, which was not ideal on
some forums. This gives the staff member more choice about what they'd
like to do.
* Make the optional category more explicit
* Joffrey's feedback
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
Before: 6:05
After: 5:42
Featuring topics for `list/categories` is a very expensive operation that
happened each time we created a topic. This introduces a test only bypass
This removes all uses of both `send` and `public_send` from consumers of
SiteSetting and instead introduces a `get` helper for dynamic lookup
This leads to much cleaner and safer code long term as we are always explicit
to test that a site setting is really there before sending an arbitrary
string to the class
It also removes a couple of risky stubs from the auth provider test
After careful analysis of large data-sets it became apparent that avg_time
had no impact whatsoever on "best of" topic scoring. Calculating avg_time
was a very costly operation especially on large databases.
We have some longer term plans of introducing other weighting that is read
time based into our scoring for "best of" and "top" topics, but in the
interim to stop a large amount of work that is not achieving any value we
are removing the jobs.
Column removal will follow once we decide on a new replacement metric.
If you turn it on now, default all users to approved since they were
previously. Also support approving a user that doesn't have a reviewable
record (it will be created first.)
This also includes a refactor to move class method calls to
`DiscourseEvent` into an initializer. Otherwise the load order of
classes makes a difference in the test environment and some settings
might be triggered and others not, randomly.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.
