### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```
Currently to handle stub topics after merging, there are only options to (1) never delete a stub topic and (2) delete a stub topic after X amount of days. This adds the option to immediately delete a stub topic upon merge.

Following a recent refactor, some methods from `FlagSettings` have been
renamed (`custom_types` -> `additional_message_types`). The
`PostActionType` model was using `custom_types` but when the renaming
was done, it was renamed to `with_additional_message` instead of
`additional_message_types`, which under the right circumstances will
raise an error.
When creating a shared draft, we're recording topic view stats on the draft and then pass those on when the draft is published, conflating the actual view count.
This fixes that by not registering topic views if the topic is a shared draft.
Currently, when adding translation overrides, values aren’t validated
for MF strings. This results in being able to add invalid plural keys or
even strings containing invalid syntax.
This patch addresses this issue by compiling the string when saving an
override if the key is detected as an MF one.
If there’s an error from the compiler, it’s added to the model errors,
which in turn is displayed to the user in the admin UI, helping them to
understand what went wrong.
* FIX: Add post id to the anchor to prevent two identical anchors
We generate anchors for headings in posts. This works fine if there is
only one post in a topic with anchors. The problem comes when you have
two or more posts with the same heading. PrettyText generates anchors
based on the heading text using the raw context of each post, so it is
entirely possible to generate the same anchor for two posts in the same
topic, especially for topics with template replies
Post1:
# heading
context
Post2:
# heading
context
When both posts are on the page at the same time, the anchor will only
work for the first post, according to the [HTML specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsing-the-web.html#scroll-to-the-fragment-identifier).
> If there is an a element in the document tree whose root is document
> that has a name attribute whose value is equal to fragment, then
> return the *first* such element in tree order.
This bug is particularly serious in forums with non-Latin languages,
such as Chinese. We do not generate slugs for Chinese, which results in
the heading anchors being completely dependent on their order.
```ruby
[2] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文")
=> "<h1><a name=\"h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
Therefore, the anchors in the two posts must be in exactly the same by
order, causing almost all of the anchors in the second post to be
invalid.
This commit solves this problem by adding the `post_id` to the anchor.
The new anchor generation method will add `p-{post_id}` as a prefix when
post_id is available:
```ruby
[3] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文", post_id: 1234)
=> "<h1><a name=\"p-1234-h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#p-1234-h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
This way we can ensure that each anchor name only appears once on the
same topic. Using post id also prevents the potential possibility of the
same anchor name when splitting/merging topics.
Our old group SMTP SSL option was a checkbox,
but this was not ideal because there are actually
3 different ways SSL can be used when sending
SMTP:
* None
* SSL/TLS
* STARTTLS
We got around this before with specific overrides
for Gmail, but it's not flexible enough and now people
want to use other providers. It's best to be clear,
though it is a technical detail. We provide a way
to test the SMTP settings before saving them so there
should be little chance of messing this up.
This commit also converts GroupEmailSettings to a glimmer
component.
Allow admin to create custom flag which requires an additional message.
I decided to rename the old `custom_flag` into `require_message` as it is more descriptive.
The watch words controller creation function, create_or_update_word(), doesn’t validate the size of the replacement parameter, unlike the word parameter, when creating a replace watched word. So anyone with moderator privileges can create watched words with almost unlimited characters.
Allow admin to create custom flag which requires an additional message.
I decided to rename the old `custom_flag` into `require_message` as it is more descriptive.
This patch upgrades the MessageFormat library to version 3.3.0 from
0.1.5.
Our `I18n.messageFormat` method signature is unchanged, and now uses the
new API under the hood.
We don’t need dedicated locale files for handling pluralization rules
anymore as everything is now included by the library itself.
The compilation of the messages now happens through our
`messageformat-wrapper` gem. It then outputs an ES module that includes
all its needed dependencies.
Most of the changes happen in `JsLocaleHelper` and in the `ExtraLocales`
controller.
A new method called `.output_MF` has been introduced in
`JsLocaleHelper`. It handles all the fetching, compiling and
transpiling to generate the proper MF messages in JS. Overrides and
fallbacks are also handled directly in this method.
The other main change is that now the MF translations are served through
the `ExtraLocales` controller instead of being statically compiled in a
JS file, then having to patch the messages using overrides and
fallbacks. Now the MF translations are just another bundle that is
created on the fly and cached by the client.
Drafts used to be deleted instead of being destroyed. The callbacks that
clean up the upload references were not being called. As a result, the
upload references were not cleaned up and uploads were not deleted
either. This has been partially fixed in 9655bf3e.
This change eliminates a couple of instances where subfolder urls are badly formatted, in most cases we can use Discourse.base_url_no_prefix to prevent adding the subfolder to the base url.
Adds a report to show the top 100 most viewed topics in a date range,
combining logged in and anonymous views. Can be filtered by category.
This is a followup to 527f02e99f
and d1191b7f5f. We are also going to
be able to see this data in a new topic map, but this admin report
helps to see an overview across the forum for a date range.
This is a follow up to 005f623c42 where
we want to truncate the user agent string instead of nulling out the
column when the user agent string is too low. By truncating, we still
get to retain information that can still be useful.
Add a new column - `user_agent` - to the `SearchLog` table.
This column can be null as we are only allowing a the user-agent string to have a max length of 2000 characters. In the case the user-agent string surpasses the max characters allowed, we simply nullify the value, and save/write the log as normal.
When tag preference in group and site settings are both used with same default notification level it will break new users signups because it tries to create duplicate records in the tag_users table which can’t happen because we have a unique index set.
If an existing user (John) accepts an invite created by Kenny to a group, John may be seen as invited by Kenny, despite already having an account on the site.
This fix removes the bug by excluding invites that determine the invited_by after the user's creation date. The delay buffer in the query accounts for invites that also create the user at the same time.
Badges can have their associated image uploads deleted. When this happens, any user who has that badge will have their profile page error out.
After this fix, when deleting an upload that's associated with a badge, we nullify the foreign key ID on the badge. This makes the existing safeguard work correctly.
Followup 2f2da72747
When the "Consolidated Pageviews with Browser Detection (Experimental)"
report was introduced, we started counting the original
"page_view_logged_in" and "page_view_anon" ApplicationRequest
data as "Other Pageviews", subtracting
"page_view_anon_browser" and "page_view_logged_in_browser" from
this number.
However we unknowingly automatically started counting these
browser-based page views, which are a subset of the total
"page_view_logged_in" and "page_view_anon" counts, in the
original "Pageviews" report, leading to double counting
which meant that when you looked at the data for each
report side-by-side the data didn't add up.
This commit fixes the issue by not counting the "browser"
pageviews in the Pageviews report, and making the code where
we were only counting certain types of requests for this
report more plain, explicitly stating which types of requests
we want.
When a topic embed is run with either no tags argument or a nil tag argument
this should not affect any existing tags.
Only update topic tags when tags argument is explicitly empty.
* FIX: Division by zero error on WebHookEventsDailyAggregate
* DEV: Update implementation of WebHookEventsDailyAggregate to handle division by zero error
We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.

For Topic Embeds, we would prefer <article> to be the main article in a topic, rather than a table cell <td> with potentially a lot of data. However, in an example URL like here, the table cell (the very large code snippet) is seen as the Topic Embed's article due to the determined content weight by the Readability library we use.
In the newly released 0.7.1 cantino/ruby-readability#94, the library has a new option to exclude the library's default <td> element into content weighting. This is more in line with the original library where they only weighted <p>. So this PR excludes the td, as seen in the tests, to allow the actual article to be seen as the article. This PR also adds the details tag into the allow-list.

This commit contains 3 changes:
- update fixtures order;
- remove position and enable from fixtures (they can be overridden by admin and we don't want seed to restore them);
- migration to fix data if the order was not changed by admin.
This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This commit introduces the following changes which allows a site
administrator to mark `Upload` records with the `s3_file_missing`
verification status which will result in the `Upload` record being ignored when
`Discourse.store.list_missing_uploads` is ran on a site where S3 uploads
are enabled and `SiteSetting.enable_s3_inventory` is set to `true`.
1. Introduce `s3_file_missing` to `Upload.verification_statuses`
2. Introduce `Upload.mark_invalid_s3_uploads_as_missing` which updates
`Upload#verification_status` of all `Upload` records from `invalid_etag` to `s3_file_missing`.
3. Introduce `rake uploads:mark_invalid_s3_uploads_as_missing` Rake task
which allows a site administrator to change `Upload` records with
`invalid_etag` verification status to the `s3_file_missing`
verificaton_status.
4. Update `S3Inventory` to ignore `Upload` records with the
`s3_file_missing` verification status.
This gives us daily fidelity of topic view stats
New table stores a row per topic viewed per day tracking
anonymous and logged on views
We also have a new endpoint `/t/ID/views-stats.json` to get the statistics for the topic.
After flags were moved to the database, with each save they are changing available PostActionTypes. Therefore, flag specs should clear the state before and after each example not just before.
In addition, we need to clear `nil` counts for dynamically created flags from serializer.
* FEATURE: add agree and edit
adds agree and edit - an alias for agree and keep -- but with a client action to
edit the post in the composer before the flag is agreed with

We're planning to implement a feature that allows adding required fields for existing users. This PR does some preparatory refactoring to make that possible. There should be no changes to existing behaviour. Just a small update to the admin UI.
This commit updates `Post#each_upload_url` to reject URLs that do not
have a host which matches `Discourse.current_hostname` but follows the
`/uploads/short-url` uploads URL format. This situation most commonly
happen when users copy upload URL link between different Discourse
sites.
This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.
Whenever one creates, updates, or deletes a post, we should keep the `topic.word_count` counter in sync.
Context - https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/308062
The users directory is updated on a daily cadence. However, when a site is new and doesn't have many users, it can be confusing that a user who has just joined doesn't show up in the users until a day after they join. To eliminate this confusion, this commit triggers a refresh for the users directory as soon as as a user joins, if the site is in bootstrap mode. The reason for the conditional trigger is that refreshing the users directory is an expensive operation and doing it often on a large site with many users could lead to performance problems.
Internal topic: t/126076.
If there's ever a circular reference in categories, don't go into an infinite loop when generating the category slug.
Instead, keep track of parent ids, and bail out as soon as we're encountering one more than once.
In #22851 we added a dependent strategy for deleting upload references when a draft is destroyed. This, however, didn't catch all cases, because we still have some code that issues DELETE drafts queries directly to the database. Specifically in the weekly cleanup job handled by Draft#cleanup!.
This PR fixes that by turning the raw query into an ActiveRecord #destroy_all, which will invoke the dependent strategy that ultimately deletes the upload references. It also includes a post migration to clear orphaned upload references that are already in the database.
This commit introduces the `run_theme_migration` spec helper to allow
theme developers to write RSpec tests for theme migrations. For example,
this allows the following RSpec test to be written in themes:
```
RSpec.describe "0003-migrate-small-links-setting migration" do
let!(:theme) { upload_theme_component }
it "should set target property to `_blank` if previous target component is not valid or empty" do
theme.theme_settings.create!(
name: "small_links",
theme: theme,
data_type: ThemeSetting.types[:string],
value: "some text, #|some text 2, #, invalid target",
)
run_theme_migration(theme, "0003-migrate-small-links-setting")
expect(theme.settings[:small_links].value).to eq(
[
{ "text" => "some text", "url" => "#", "target" => "_blank" },
{ "text" => "some text 2", "url" => "#", "target" => "_blank" },
],
)
end
end
```
This change is being introduced because we realised that writting just
javascript tests for the migrations is insufficient since javascript
tests do not ensure that the migrated theme settings can actually be
successfully saved into the database. Hence, we are introduce this
helper as a way for theme developers to write "end-to-end" migrations
tests.
At the moment, there is no way to create a group of related watched words together. If a user needed a set of words to be created together, they'll have to create them individually one at a time.
This change attempts to allow related watched words to be created as a group. The idea here is to have a list of words be tied together via a common `WatchedWordGroup` record. Given a list of words, a `WatchedWordGroup` record is created and assigned to each `WatchedWord` record. The existing WatchedWord creation behaviour remains largely unchanged.

This commit introduces a few changes as a result of
customer issues with finding why a topic was relisted.
In one case, if a user edited the OP of a topic that was
unlisted and hidden because of too many flags, the topic
would get relisted by directly changing topic.visible,
instead of going via TopicStatusUpdater.
To improve tracking we:
* Introduce a visibility_reason_id to topic which functions
in a similar way to hidden_reason_id on post, this column is
set from the various places we change topic visibility
* Fix Post#unhide! which was directly modifying topic.visible,
instead we use TopicStatusUpdater which sets visibility_reason_id
and also makes a small action post
* Show the reason topic visibility changed when hovering the
unlisted icon in topic status on topic titles
In a large forum with millions of users and millions of user_fields
updating the list of dropdown user field options will result in a
502 now due to the large number of fields.
This commit moves the indexing into a job.
This ensures we only ever store correct post and topic timing when the client
notifies.
Previous to this change we would blindly trust the client.
Additionally this has error correction code that will correct the last seen
post number when you visit a topic with incorrect timings.
This commit addresses an issue for sites where secure_uploads
is turned on after the site has been operating without it for
some time.
When uploads are linked when they are used inside a post,
we were setting the access_control_post_id unconditionally
if it was NULL to that post ID and secure_uploads was true.
However this causes issues if an upload has been used in a
few different places, especially if a post was previously
used in a PM and marked secure, so we end up with a case of
the upload using a public post for its access control, which
causes URLs to not use the /secure-uploads/ path in the post,
breaking things like image uploads.
We should only set the access_control_post_id if the post is the first time the
upload is referenced so it cannot hijack uploads from other places.
When lazy load categories is enabled, categories should be loaded with
user activity items and drafts because the categories may not be
preloaded on the client side.
This method name is a bit confusing; with_secure_uploads implies
it may return a block or something with the uploads of the post,
and has_secure_uploads implies that it's checking whether the post
is linked to any secure uploads.
should_secure_uploads? communicates the true intent of this method --
which is to say whether uploads attached to this post should be
secure or not.
* DEV: Add `topic_embed_import_create_args` plugin modifier
This modifier allows a plugin to change the arguments used when creating
a new topic for an imported article.
For example: let's say you want to prepend "Imported: " to the title of
every imported topic. You could use this modifier like so:
```ruby
# In your plugin's code
plugin.register_modifier(:topic_embed_import_create_args) do |args|
args[:title] = "Imported: #{args[:title]}"
args
end
```
In this example, the modifier is prepending "Imported: " to the `title` in the `create_args` hash. This modified title would then be used when the new topic is created.
This PR improves the performance of the `most_replied_to_users` method on the `UserSummary` model.
### Old Query
```ruby
post_query
.joins(
"JOIN posts replies ON posts.topic_id = replies.topic_id AND posts.reply_to_post_number = replies.post_number",
)
# We are removing replies by @user, but we can simplify this by getting the using the user_id on the posts.
.where("replies.user_id <> ?", @user.id)
.group("replies.user_id")
.order("COUNT(*) DESC")
.limit(MAX_SUMMARY_RESULTS)
.pluck("replies.user_id, COUNT(*)")
.each { |r| replied_users[r[0]] = r[1] }
```
### Old Query with corrections
```ruby
post_query
.joins(
"JOIN posts replies ON posts.topic_id = replies.topic_id AND replies.reply_to_post_number = posts.post_number",
)
# Remove replies by @user but instead look on loaded posts (we do this so we don't count self replies)
.where("replies.user_id <> posts.user_id")
.group("replies.user_id")
.order("COUNT(*) DESC")
.limit(MAX_SUMMARY_RESULTS)
.pluck("replies.user_id, COUNT(*)")
.each { |r| replied_users[r[0]] = r[1] }
```
### New Query
```ruby
post_query
.joins(
"JOIN posts replies ON posts.topic_id = replies.topic_id AND posts.reply_to_post_number = replies.post_number",
)
# Only include regular posts in our joins, this makes sure we don't have the bloat of loading private messages
.joins(
"JOIN topics ON replies.topic_id = topics.id AND topics.archetype <> 'private_message'",
)
# Only include visible post types, so exclude posts like whispers, etc
.joins(
"AND replies.post_type IN (#{Topic.visible_post_types(@user, include_moderator_actions: false).join(",")})",
)
.where("replies.user_id <> posts.user_id")
.group("replies.user_id")
.order("COUNT(*) DESC")
.limit(MAX_SUMMARY_RESULTS)
.pluck("replies.user_id, COUNT(*)")
.each { |r| replied_users[r[0]] = r[1] }
```
# Conclusion
`most_replied_to_users` was untested, so I introduced a test for the logic, and have confirmed that it passes on both the new query **AND** the old query.
Thank you @danielwaterworth for the debugging assistance.
When a user is manually deactivated, they should not be deleted by our background job that purges inactive users.
In addition, site settings keywords should accept an array of keywords.
Previously the problem check registry simply looked at the subclasses of ProblemCheck. This was causing some confusion in environments where eager loading is not enabled, as the registry would appear empty as a result of the classes never being referenced (and thus never loaded.)
This PR changes the approach to a more explicit one. I followed other implementations (bookmarkable and hashtag autocomplete.) As a bonus, this now has a neat plugin entry point as well.
This enables the following in Discourse AI
```
plugin.register_modifier(:chat_allowed_bot_user_ids) do |user_ids, guardian|
if guardian.user
mentionables = AiPersona.mentionables(user: guardian.user)
allowed_bot_ids = mentionables.map { |mentionable| mentionable[:user_id] }
user_ids.concat(allowed_bot_ids)
end
user_ids
end
```
some bots that are id < 0 need to be discoverable in search otherwise people can not talk to them.
