When Discourse first introduced brotli support, reverse-proxy/CDN support for passing through the accept-encoding header to our NGINX server was very poor. Therefore, a separate `/brotli_assets/...` path was introduced to serve the brotli assets. This worked well, but introduces additional complexity and inconsistencies.
Nowadays, Brotli encoding is well supported, so we don't need the separate paths any more. Requests can be routed to the asset `.js` URLs, and NGINX will serve the brotli/gzip version of the asset automatically.
For deprecated site settings, we log out a warning when
the old setting is used. However when we convert all the client
settings to JSON, we are creating a lot of log noise like this:
> Deprecation notice: `SiteSetting.anonymous_posting_min_trust_level` has been deprecated.
We don't need to do this because we are just dumping the JSON.
This commit introduces a new feature that allows theme developers to manage the transformation of theme settings over time. Similar to Rails migrations, the theme settings migration system enables developers to write and execute migrations for theme settings, ensuring a smooth transition when changes are required in the format or structure of setting values.
Example use cases for the theme settings migration system:
1. Renaming a theme setting.
2. Changing the data type of a theme setting (e.g., transforming a string setting containing comma-separated values into a proper list setting).
3. Altering the format of data stored in a theme setting.
All of these use cases and more are now possible while preserving theme setting values for sites that have already modified their theme settings.
Usage:
1. Create a top-level directory called `migrations` in your theme/component, and then within the `migrations` directory create another directory called `settings`.
2. Inside the `migrations/settings` directory, create a JavaScript file using the format `XXXX-some-name.js`, where `XXXX` is a unique 4-digit number, and `some-name` is a descriptor of your choice that describes the migration.
3. Within the JavaScript file, define and export (as the default) a function called `migrate`. This function will receive a `Map` object and must also return a `Map` object (it's acceptable to return the same `Map` object that the function received).
4. The `Map` object received by the `migrate` function will include settings that have been overridden or changed by site administrators. Settings that have never been changed from the default will not be included.
5. The keys and values contained in the `Map` object that the `migrate` function returns will replace all the currently changed settings of the theme.
6. Migrations are executed in numerical order based on the XXXX segment in the migration filenames. For instance, `0001-some-migration.js` will be executed before `0002-another-migration.js`.
Here's a complete example migration script that renames a setting from `setting_with_old_name` to `setting_with_new_name`:
```js
// File name: 0001-rename-setting.js
export default function migrate(settings) {
if (settings.has("setting_with_old_name")) {
settings.set("setting_with_new_name", settings.get("setting_with_old_name"));
}
return settings;
}
```

Plugins can use a new modifier to change which site settings are hidden using the :hidden_site_settings modifier. For example:
```
register_modifier(:hidden_site_settings) do |hidden|
(hidden + [:invite_only, :login_required]).uniq
end
```
This commit fixes an issue where clicking the default
"Take Action" option on a flag for a post doesn't always
end up with the post hidden.
This is because the "take_action" score bonus doesn’t take into account
the final score required to hide the post.
Especially with the `hide_post_sensitivity` site setting set to `low`
sensitivity, there is a likelihood the score needed to hide the post
won’t be reached.
Now, the default "Take Action" button has been changed to "Hide Post"
to reflect what is actually happening and the description has been
improved, and if "Take Action" is clicked we _always_ hide the post
regardless of score and sensitivity settings. This way the action reflects
expectations of the user.
The message: :signup_not_allowed option to the IP address validator does nothing, because the AllowedIpAddressValidator chooses one of either:
- ip_address.blocked or
- ip_address.max_new_accounts_per_registration_ip
internally. This means that the translation for this was also never used.
This PR removes the ineffectual option and the unused translation. It also moves the translated error messages for blocked and max_new_accounts_per_registration_ip into the correct location so we can pass a symbol to ActiveModel::Errors#add.
There is no actual change in behaviour.
Plugins can use a new modifier to change which site settings are
hidden using the :hidden_site_settings modifier. For example:
register_modifier(:hidden_site_settings) do |hidden|
(hidden + [:invite_only, :login_required]).uniq
end
In the past we would build the stack of Omniauth providers at boot, which meant that plugins had to register any authenticators in the root of their plugin.rb (i.e. not in an `after_initialize` block). This could be frustrating because many features are not available that early in boot (e.g. Zeitwerk autoloading).
Now that we build the omniauth strategy stack 'just in time', it is safe for plugins to register their auth methods in an `after_initialize` block. This commit relaxes the old restrictions so that plugin authors have the option to move things around.
Using Wizard.exclude_steps applies to all sites in a multisite cluster.
In order to exclude steps for individual sites at run-time, a new
instance method `remove_step` is being added.
* FIX: Secure upload post processing race condition
This commit fixes a couple of issues.
A little background -- when uploads are created in the composer
for posts, regardless of whether the upload will eventually be
marked secure or not, if secure_uploads is enabled we always mark
the upload secure at first. This is so the upload is by default
protected, regardless of post type (regular or PM) or category.
This was causing issues in some rare occasions though because
of the order of operations of our post creation and processing
pipeline. When creating a post, we enqueue a sidekiq job to
post-process the post which does various things including
converting images to lightboxes. We were also enqueuing a job
to update the secure status for all uploads in that post.
Sometimes the secure status job would run before the post process
job, marking uploads as _not secure_ in the background and changing
their ACL before the post processor ran, which meant the users
would see a broken image in their posts. This commit fixes that issue
by always running the upload security changes inline _within_ the
cooked_post_processor job.
The other issue was that the lightbox wrapper link for images in
the post would end up with a URL like this:
```
href="/secure-uploads/original/2X/4/4e1f00a40b6c952198bbdacae383ba77932fc542.jpeg"
```
Since we weren't actually using the `upload.url` to pass to
`UrlHelper.cook_url` here, we weren't converting this href to the CDN
URL if the post was not in a secure context (the UrlHelper does not
know how to convert a secure-uploads URL to a CDN one). Now we
always end up with the correct lightbox href. This was less of an issue
than the other one, since the secure-uploads URL works even when the
upload has become non-secure, but it was a good inconsistency to fix
anyway.
There are cases where a user can copy image markdown from a public
post (such as via the discourse-templates plugin) into a PM which
is then sent via an email. Since a PM is a secure context (via the
.with_secure_uploads? check on Post), the image will get a secure
URL in the PM post even though the backing upload is not secure.
This fixes the bug in that case where the image would be stripped
from the email (since it had a /secure-uploads/ URL) but not re-attached
further down the line using the secure_uploads_allow_embed_images_in_emails
setting because the upload itself was not secure.
The flow in Email::Sender for doing this is still not ideal, but
there are chicken and egg problems around when to strip the images,
how to fit in with other attachments and email size limits, and
when to apply the images inline via Email::Styles. It's convoluted,
but at least this fixes the Template use case for now.
Why this change?
This ensures that malicious requests cannot end up causing the logs to
quickly fill up. The default chosen is sufficient for most legitimate
requests to the Discourse application.
When truncation happens, parsing of logs in supported format like
lograge may break down.
Why this change?
The `PostsController#create` action allows arbitrary topic custom fields
to be set by any user that can create a topic. Without any restrictions,
this opens us up to potential security issues where plugins may be using
topic custom fields in security sensitive areas.
What does this change do?
1. This change introduces the `register_editable_topic_custom_field` plugin
API which allows plugins to register topic custom fields that are
editable either by staff users only or all users. The registered
editable topic custom fields are stored in `DiscoursePluginRegistry` and
is called by a new method `Topic#editable_custom_fields` which is then
used in the `PostsController#create` controller action. When an unpermitted custom fields is present in the `meta_data` params,
a 400 response code is returned.
2. Removes all reference to `meta_data` on a topic as it is confusing
since we actually mean topic custom fields instead.
Currently, `window.I18n` is defined in an old school hand written
script, inlined into locale/*.js by the Rails asset pipeline, and
then the global variable is shimmed into a pseudo AMD module later
in `module-shims.js`.
This approach has some problems – for one thing, when we add a new
V2 addon (e.g. in #23859), Embroider/Webpack is stricter about its
dependencies and won't let you `import from "I18n";` when `"I18n"`
isn't listed as one of its `dependencies` or `peerDependencies`.
This moves `I18n` into a real package – `discourse-i18n`. (I was
originally planning to keep the `I18n` name since it's a private
package anyway, but NPM packages are supposed to have lower case
names and that may cause problems with other tools.)
This package defines and exports a regular class, but also defines
the default global instance for backwards compatibility. We should
use the exported class in tests to make one-off instances without
mutating the global instance and having to clean it up after the
test run. However, I did not attempt that refactor in this PR.
Since `discourse-i18n` is now included by the app, the locale
scripts needs to be loaded after the app chunks. Since no "real"
work happens until later on when we kick things off in the boot
script, the order in which the script tags appear shouldn't be a
problem. Alternatively, we can rework the locale bundles to be more
lazy like everything else, and require/import them into the app.
I avoided renaming the imports in this commit since that would be
quite noisy and drowns out the actual changes here. Instead, I used
a Webpack alias to redirect the current `"I18n"` import to the new
package for the time being. In a separate commit later on, I'll
rename all the imports in oneshot and remove the alias. As always,
plugins and the legacy bundles (admin/wizard) still relies on the
runtime AMD shims regardless.
For the most part, I avoided refactoring the actual I18n code too
much other than making it a class, and some light stuff like `var`
into `let`.
However, now that it is in a reasonable format to work with (no
longer inside the global script context!) it may also be a good
opportunity to refactor and make clear what is intended to be
public API vs internal implementation details.
Speaking of, I took the librety to make `PLACEHOLDER`, `SEPARATOR`
and `I18nMissingInterpolationArgument` actual constants since it
seemed pretty clear to me those were just previously stashed on to
the `I18n` global to avoid polluting the global namespace, rather
than something we expect the consumers to set/replace.
For the admin plugin list we want to be able to link to
a meta topic for plugins, but we have no standard way to
do this at the moment. This adds support for meta_topic_id
alongside other plugin metadata like authors, URL etc,
that gets built into a Meta topic URL in the serializer.
We have a custom implementation of #symbolize_keys in our Onebox helpers. This is likely a legacy from when Onebox was a standalone gem. This change replaces all usages with either #deep_symbolize_keys from ActiveSupport, or appropriate option to the JSON parser gem used.
We have a custom implementation of #blank? in our Onebox helpers. This is likely a legacy from when Onebox was a standalone gem. This change replaces all usages with respective incarnations of #blank?, #present?, and #presence from ActiveSupport. It changes a bunch of "unless blank" to "if present" as well.
This is part 1 of 3, split up of PR #23529. This PR refactors the
webauthn code to support passkey authentication/registration.
Passkeys aren't used yet, that is coming in PRs 2 and 3.

If a user somehow is looking at an old version of the page and attempts
to like a post they already like. Display a more reasonable error message.
Previously we would display:
> You are not permitted to view the requested resource.
New error message is:
> Oops! You already performed this action. Can you try refreshing the page?
Triggering this error condition is very tricky, you need to stop the
message bus. A possible reason for it could be bad network connectivity.
* FIX: min_personal_message_post_length not applying to first post
Due to the way PostCreator is wired, we were not applying min_personal_message_post_length
to the first post.
This meant that admins could not configure it so PMs have different
limits.
The code was already pretending that this works, but had no reliable way
of figuring out if we were dealing with a private message
This commit adds limits to themes and theme components on the:
- file size of about.json and .discourse-compatibility
- file size of theme assets
- number of files in a theme
This extends search so it can have consumers that:
1. Can split off "term" from various advanced filters and orders
2. Can build a relation of either order or filter
It also moves a lot of stuff around in the search class for clarity.
Two new APIs are exposed:
`.apply_filter` to apply all the special filters to a posts/topics relation
`.apply_order` to force a particular order (eg: order:latest)
This can then be used by semantic search in Discourse AI
In #20135 we prevented invalid inputs from being accepted in category setting form fields on the front-end. We didn't do anything on the back-end at that time, because we were still discussing which path we wanted to take. Eventually we decided we want to move this to a new CategorySetting model.
This PR moves the require_topic_approval and require_reply_approval from custom fields to the new CategorySetting model.
This PR is nearly identical to #20580, which migrated num_auto_bump_daily, but since these are slightly more sensitive, they are moved after the previous one is verified.
This adds a new secure_uploads_pm_only site setting. When secure_uploads
is true with this setting, only uploads created in PMs will be marked
secure; no uploads in secure categories will be marked as secure, and
the login_required site setting has no bearing on upload security
either.
This is meant to be a stopgap solution to prevent secure uploads
in a single place (private messages) for sensitive admin data exports.
Ideally we would want a more comprehensive way of saying that certain
upload types get secured which is a hybrid/mixed mode secure uploads,
but for now this will do the trick.
Admins are always able to send PMs, so it doesn't make
sense that they shouldn't be able to convert topics just
because they aren't in personal_message_enabled_groups.
Previously we would respect it if the filter was `nil`, but if `default` was explicitly passed then it would ignore the category order settings. This explicit passing of `filter=default` happens for some types of navigations in the JS app.
This extends the fix from 92bc61b4be
Our Ember build compiles assets into multiple chunks. In the past, we used the output from ember-auto-import-chunks-json-generator to give Rails a map of those chunks. However, that addon is specific to ember-auto-import, and is not compatible with Embroider.
Instead, we can switch to parsing the html files which are output by ember-cli. These are guaranteed to have the correct JS files in the correct place. A <discourse-chunked-script> will allow us to easily identify which chunks belong to which entrypoint.
In future, as we update more entrypoints to be compiled by Embroider/Webpack, we can easily introduce new wrappers.
Previously applied in 2c58d45 and reverted in 24d46fd. This version has been updated for subfolder support.
They're both constant per-instance values, there is no need to store them
in the session. This also makes the code a bit more readable by moving
the `session_challenge_key` method up to the `DiscourseWebauthn` module.
Followup to eea74e0e32. Site settings
which are a list without a list_type should also have the _map
extension added which returns an array based on split("|").
For example:
```
SiteSetting.post_menu_map
=> ["read", "like"]
```
When navigating around, we make ajax requests with a parameter like `?filter=latest`. This results in the TopicQuery being set up with `filter: "latest"` as a string. The logic introduced in fd9a5bc0 checks for equality with `:latest` and `:unseen` symbols, which didn't work correctly in this situation
This commit makes the logic detect both strings and symbols, and adds a spec for the behaviour.
This adds support for oneboxing WEBP and AVIF images in posts and fixing
oneboxing fixes download remote images for those formats too.
