In a category's settings, the Tags tab has two new fields to
specify the number of tags that must be added to a topic
from a tag group. When creating a new topic, an error will be
shown to the user if the requirement isn't met.
The routes for categories are changing. The scheme that I intend to move
us to is:
/c/*slug_path/(:id)/ENDPOINT
/c/*slug_path/(:id)
This commit adds support for the new scheme to the server side without
dropping support for existing URLs. It is necessary to support existing
URLs for two reasons:
* This commit does not change any client side routing code,
* Posts that contain category hashtags that refer to a root category
are baked into URLs that do not fit this new scheme, (/c/[id]-[slug])
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
Slugs can be the empty string, but the added index didn't account for
that. This commit changes the migration, stopping it from being unique
so that it can be applied everywhere and adds another migration that
recreates the index properly.
When a category has a subcategory, we ensure that no one who can see the
subcategory cannot see the parent. However, we don't take into account
the fact that, when no CategoryGroups exist, the default is that
everyone has full permissions.
If the setting is turned on, then the user will receive information
about the subject: if it was deleted or requires some special access to
a group (only if the group is public). Otherwise, the user will receive
a generic #404 error message. For now, this change affects only the
topics and categories controller.
This commit also tries to refactor some of the code related to error
handling. To make error pages more consistent (design-wise), the actual
error page will be rendered server-side.
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.
Previously users were still allowed to create topic via API even if
uncategorized was disabled.
Not 100% happy with all this special casing, but I guess we have to do
something.
This also splits up a mega spec now that we have fab! into a more easy to
understand structure (I hope)
- Correct create_category_definition to skip validations and use a
transaction, no longer able to create corrupt topics
- ensure_consistency now clears topic_id if pointing at deleted or missing
topic_id
- Stop creating category definition topics for uncategorized
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
Use this event to filter the list of auto bumped topics.
EG:
on(:filter_auto_bump_topics) do |_category, filters|
filters.push(->(r) { r.where(<<~SQL)
NOT EXISTS(
SELECT 1 FROM topic_custom_fields
WHERE topic_id = topics.id
AND name = 'accepted_answer_post_id'
)
SQL
})
end
- We spread out bumping through the day, if you are bumping
4 topics then a topic will be bumped every 6 hours
- We add a small, bumping action at the bottom of the post to
denote a topic got bumped
### navigate_to_first_post_after_read setting for categories
When enabled on categories logged on users will return to OP after
reading the entire category. (useful for documentation categories)
### num_auto_bump_daily
Set a number of topics that will automatically bump daily on a category.
- Every 15 minutes we will check if any category has this setting
- Categories with the setting are shuffled
- We exclude pinned, closed, category description and archived topics
- Maximum of 1 topic for the list of categories is bumped till limit reached per category
- We always try to bump oldest first
- Limit is elastic using a RateLimiter that ensures that we only bump N per day
Also some minor organisation on category settings
Froze strings on category.rb
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

This feature can be enabled by choosing a destination for the
`shared drafts category` site setting.
* Staff members can create shared drafts, choosing a destination
category for the topic when it is published.
* Shared Drafts can be viewed in their category, or above the
topic list for the destination category where it will end up.
* When the shared draft is ready, it can be published to the
appropriate category by clicking a button on the topic view.
* When published, Drafts change their timestamps to the current
time, and any edits to the original post are removed.
In the past we used suppress_from_homepage, it had mixed semantics
it would remove from category list if category list was on home and
unconditionally remove from latest.
New setting explicitly only removes from latest list but leaves the
category list alond
This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
Rails yanked out observers many many years ago, instead the functionality
was yanked out to a gem that is very lightly maintained.
For example: if we want to upgrade to rails 5 there is no published gem
Internally the usage of observers had quite a few problem.
The series of refactors renamed a bunch of classes to give us more clarity
and removed some magic.
