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.
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 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`
