We have found when receiving and posting inbound emails to the handle_mail route, it is better to POST the payload as a base64 encoded string to avoid strange encoding issues. This introduces a new param of `email_encoded` and maintains the legacy param of email, showing a deprecation warning. Eventually the old param of `email` will be dropped and the new one `email_encoded` will be the only way to handle_mail.
Uncategorized was sometimes visible even if allow_uncategorized_topics
was false. This was especially happening on mobile, if at least one
topic was uncategorized.
* FEATURE: Small improvements to the topic list embed
- Ability to wrap the list in a custom class so you can styles different
lists using specific CSS
- Adds a topic link to the thumbnail when using the complete template
* FIX: Be more strict about allowed chars in class name
This commit allows site admins to run theme tests in production via a new `/theme-qunit` route. When you visit `/theme-qunit`, you'll see a list of the themes/components installed on your site that have tests, and from there you can select a theme or component that you run its tests.
We also have a new rake task `themes:install_and_test` that can be used to install a list of themes/components on a temporary database and run the tests of the themes/components that are installed. This rake task can be useful when upgrading/deploying a Discourse instance to make sure that the installed themes/components are compatible with the new Discourse version being deployed, and if the tests fail you can abort the build/deploy process so you don't end up with a broken site.
If the "use_site_small_logo_as_system_avatar" setting is enabled, the site's small logo is displayed as the selected option by the avatar-selector. Choosing a different avatar disables the setting.

The old share modal used to host both share and invite functionality,
under two tabs. The new "Share Topic" modal can be used only for
sharing, but has a link to the invite modal.
Among the sharing methods, there is also "Notify" which points out
that existing users will simply be notified (this was not clear
before). Staff members can notify as many users as they want, but
regular users are restricted to one at a time, no more than
max_topic_invitations_per_day. The user will not receive another
notification if they have been notified of the same topic in past hour.
The "Create Invite" modal also suffered some changes: the two radio
boxes for selecting the type (invite or email) have been replaced by a
single checkbox (is email?) and then the two labels about emails have
been replaced by a single one, some fields were reordered and the
advanced options toggle was moved to the bottom right of the modal.
Rails 6.1.3.1 deprecates a few API and has some internal changes that break our tests suite, so this commit fixes all the deprecations and errors and now Discourse should be fully compatible with Rails 6.1.3.1. We also have a new release of the rails_failover gem that's compatible with Rails 6.1.3.1.
The server used to respond with a generic 'error, contact admin' message
which did not offer any hint what the error was. This happened even when
the error could be easily corrected by the user (for example, if they
chose a very common password).
When invited by email, users will receive an invite URL which contains
a token. If that token is present when the invite is redeemed, their
account will be automatically activated.
This PR adds a new category setting which is a column in the `categories` table, `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post`.
What this does is:
* Inside the `can_edit_post?` method of `PostGuardian`, if the current user editing a post is the owner of the post, it is the first post, and the topic's category has `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post`, then we bypass the check for `LimitedEdit#edit_time_limit_expired?` on that post.
* Also, similar to wiki topics, in `PostActionNotifier#after_create_post_revision` we send a notification to all users watching a topic when the OP is edited in a topic with the category setting `allow_unlimited_owner_edits_on_first_post` enabled.
This is useful for forums where there is a Marketplace or similar category, where topics are created and then updated indefinitely by the OP rather than the OP making new topics or additional replies. In a way this acts similar to a wiki that only one person can edit.
This makes behavior consistent with documentation:
API:
> Will send an email with this message when present
Web UI:
> Optionally, provide more information about the suspension and it will be emailed to the user
This commit allows themes and theme components to have QUnit tests. To add tests to your theme/component, create a top-level directory in your theme and name it `test`, and Discourse will save all the files in that directory (and its sub-directories) as "tests files" in the database. While tests files/directories are not required to be organized in a specific way, we recommend that you follow Discourse core's tests [structure](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/tests).
Writing theme tests should be identical to writing plugins or core tests; all the `import` statements and APIs that you see in core (or plugins) to define/setup tests should just work in themes.
You do need a working Discourse install to run theme tests, and you have 2 ways to run theme tests:
* In the browser at the `/qunit` route. `/qunit` will run tests of all active themes/components as well as core and plugins. The `/qunit` now accepts a `theme_name` or `theme_url` params that you can use to run tests of a specific theme/component like so: `/qunit?theme_name=<your_theme_name>`.
* In the command line using the `themes:qunit` rake task. This take is meant to run tests of a single theme/component so you need to provide it with a theme name or URL like so: `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[name=<theme_name>]` or `bundle exec rake themes:qunit[url=<theme_url>]`.
There are some refactors to how Discourse processes JavaScript that comes with themes/components, and these refactors may break your JS customizations; see https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-core-changes-that-may-break-some-themes-components-april-12/186252?u=osama for details on how you can check if your themes/components are affected and what you need to do to fix them.
This commit also improves theme error handling in Discourse. We will now be able to catch errors that occur when theme initializers are run and prevent them from breaking the site and other themes/components.
We introduced a cap on the number of bookmarks the user can add in be145ccf2f. However this has caused unintended side effects; when the `jobs/scheduled/bookmark_reminder_notifications.rb` runs we get this error for users who already had more bookmarks than the limit:
> Job exception: Validation failed: Sorry, you have too many bookmarks, visit #{url}/my/activity/bookmarks to remove some.
This is because the `clear_reminder!` call was triggering a bookmark validation, which raised an error because the user already had to many, holding up other reminders.
This PR also adds `max_bookmarks_per_user` hidden site setting (default 2000). This replaces the BOOKMARK_LIMIT const so we can raise it for certain sites.

There are some refactors to internal code that's responsible for processing themes/components in Discourse, most notably:
* `<script type="text/discourse-plugin">` tags are automatically converted to modules.
* The `theme-settings` service is removed in favor of a simple `lib` file responsible for managing theme settings. This was done to allow us to register/lookup theme settings very early in our Ember app lifecycle and because there was no reason for it to be an Ember service.
These refactors should 100% backward compatible and invisible to theme developers.
In Improve invite system, a newly created link only invite cannot
be retrieved via API with the invitee's email once created. A new
route, /invites/retrieve, is introduced to fetch an already
created invite by email address.
For 'local logins', the UX for staged users is designed to be identical to unregistered users. However, staged users logging in via external auth were being automatically unstaged, and skipping the registration/invite flow. In the past this made sense because the registration/invite flows didn't work perfectly with external auth. Now, both registration and invites work well with external auth, so it's best to leave the 'unstage' logic to those endpoints.
This problem was particularly noticeable when using the 'bulk invite' feature to invite users with pre-configured User Fields. In that situation, staged user accounts are used to preserve the user field data.
Admins can use bulk invites to pre-populate user fields. The imported
CSV file must have a header with "email" column (first position) and
names of the user fields (exact match).
Under the hood, the bulk invite will create staged users and populate
the user fields of those.
Find & Replace and Autotag watched words were not completely exported
and import did not work with these either. This commit changes the
input and output format to CSV, which allows for a secondary column.
This change is backwards compatible because a CSV file with only one
column has one value per line.
This PR allows invitations to be used when the DiscourseConnect SSO is enabled for a site (`enable_discourse_connect`) and local logins are disabled. Previously invites could not be accepted with SSO enabled simply because we did not have the code paths to handle that logic.
The invitation methods that are supported include:
* Inviting people to groups via email address
* Inviting people to topics via email address
* Using invitation links generated by the Invite Users UI in the /my/invited/pending route
The flow works like this:
1. User visits an invite URL
2. The normal invitation validations (redemptions/expiry) happen at that point
3. We store the invite key in a secure session
4. The user clicks "Accept Invitation and Continue" (see below)
5. The user is redirected to /session/sso then to the SSO provider URL then back to /session/sso_login
6. We retrieve the invite based on the invite key in secure session. We revalidate the invitation. We show an error to the user if it is not valid. An additional check here for invites with an email specified is to check the SSO email matches the invite email
7. If the invite is OK we create the user via the normal SSO methods
8. We redeem the invite and activate the user. We clear the invite key in secure session.
9. If the invite had a topic we redirect the user there, otherwise we redirect to /
Note that we decided for SSO-based invites the `must_approve_users` site setting is ignored, because the invite is a form of pre-approval, and because regular non-staff users cannot send out email invites or generally invite to the forum in this case.
Also deletes some group invite checks as per https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12353
* FIX: Be able to handle long file extensions
Some applications have really long file extensions, but if we truncate
them weird behavior ensues.
This commit changes the file extension size from 10 characters to 255
characters instead.
See:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/182824
* Keep truncation at 10, but allow uppercase and dashes
Currently the process of adding a custom image to badge is quite clunky; you have to upload your image to a topic, and then copy the image URL and pasting it in a text field. Besides being clucky, if the topic or post that contains the image is deleted, the image will be garbage-collected in a few days and the badge will lose the image because the application is not that the image is referenced by a badge.
This commit improves that by adding a proper image uploader widget for badge images.
The cluster name can be configured by setting the `DISCOURSE_CLUSTER_NAME` environment variable. If set, you can then call /srv/status with a `?cluster=` parameter. If the cluster does not match, an error will be returned. This is useful if you need a load balancer to be able to verify the identity, as well as the presence, of an application container.
When creating a PM target_usernames has been deprecated for some time
now but the api docs have yet to reflect this.
The api docs now specify to use target_recipients.
See: eef21625c6
The user and an admin could create multiple email change requests for
the same user. If any of the requests was validated and it became
primary, the other request could not be deleted anymore.
* FEATURE: allow category group moderators to pin/unpin topics
Category group moderators should be able to pin/unpin any topics within a category where they have appropraite category group moderator permissions.
Previously, we blocked search engines in tag pages since they may get marked as a duplicate content.
* DEV: block tag inner pages from search engines crawling.
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
* FIX: Do not show expired invites under Pending tab
* DEV: Controller action was renamed in previous commit
* FEATURE: Add 'Expired' tab to invites
* FEATURE: Refresh model after removing expired invites
* FEATURE: Do not immediately add invite to the list
Opening the 'create-invite' modal used to automatically generate an
invite to reserve an invite link. If the user did not save it and
closed the modal, the invite would be destroyed. This operations caused
the invite list to change in the background and confuse users.

Mailing list mode can generate significant email volume, especially on sites with a large user base. Disable mailing list mode via site settings by default so sites don't experience an unexpectedly large cost from outgoing email.
The urls that we generate for mobile post notifications don't take into
account the subfolder url if a site happens to have one configured. When
this happens when you tap on a new mobile notification it takes you to
a url that doesn't work because it is missing the subfolder portion.
I honestly think this should be handled in the Post model like we do
with the Topic model. `Post.url` should know how to handle subfolder
installs, but that seemed like a very risky change because there are
lots of other places in the codebase where we tack on the base_path and
I didn't want to risk duplicating it.
I also found a small typo in the topics controller spec.
A missing email when accepting an invite link does not make sense so we
should make it a required param which helps to catch bugs in our test
suite and also prevent potential bugs in our code base when the code
trips on a `nil` email.
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.
The API now accepts an array called "ids" to select specific items. This parameter is not present on the UI.
Example usage: "yoursite.com/review.json?ids[]=1&ids[]=2"
This commit includes other various improvements to watched words.
auto_silence_first_post_regex site setting was removed because it overlapped
with 'require approval' watched words.
Some users somehow manage to keep a topic open for a very long time that it causes the post read time to exceed the max integer value (2^31 - 1) which causes errors when we try to update the read time in the database to values above the integer limit.
This PR will cap posts read time at 2^31 - 1 to prevent these errors.
Adding a scope from a plugin was broken. This commit fixes it and adds a test.
It also documents the instance method and renames the serialized "id" attribute to "scope_id" to avoid a conflict when the scope also has a parameter with the same name.
The server responds with a redirect to URLs with wrong slugs, even when
the slug was the correct but in the encoded form (if it contained
special characters).
Original PR was reverted because of broken migration https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12058
I fixed it by adding this line
```
AND topics.id IN(SELECT id FROM topics ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT :max_new_topics)
```
This time it is left joining a limited amount of topics. I tested it on few databases and it worked quite smooth
* DEV: Show warning message when using ember css selectors
When editing the theme css via the admin UI a warning message
will be displayed if it detects that the `#emberXXX` or `.ember-view`
css selectors are being used. These are dynamic selectors that ember
generates, but they can change so they should not be used.
* Update error message text to be more helpful
* Display a warning instead of erroring out
This allows the theme to still be saved, but a warning is displayed.
Updated the tests to check for the error message.
Updated the pre tags css so that it wraps for long messages.

Using the same mechanism to disable new topics in a tag.
* FIX: respect when category and tag is selected
* DEV: Escape backslashes in curl example
We need to escape these backslashes otherwise they get filtered out when
generating the api docs.
* FIX: uniqItems should be uniqueItems
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
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.
If a list of email addresses is pasted into a group’s Add Members form
that has one or more email addresses of users who already belong to the
group and all other email addresses are for users who do not yet exist
on the forum then no invites were being sent. This commit ensures that
we send invites to new users.
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 moves all the rate limiting for user second factor (based on `params[:second_factor_token]` existing) to the one place, which rate limits by IP and also by username if a user is found.
A more general, lower-level change in addition to #11950.
Most code paths already check if SSO is enabled or if local logins are disabled before trying to create an email invite.
This is a safety net to ensure no invalid invites sneak by.
Also includes:
FIX: Don't allow to bulk invite when SSO is on (or when local logins are disabled)
This mirrors can_invite_to_forum? and other email invite code paths.
Issue originally reported in https://meta.discourse.org/t/bypass-sso-by-adding-unkown-email-to-group/177339
Inviting people via email address to a group when SSO is enabled (or local logins are disabled) led to a situation where user records were being created bypassing single sign-on.
We already prevent that in most places. This adds required checks to `GroupsController`.
This pull requests contains a series of improvements to groups
settings and member management such as:
- Showing which users have set a group as primary
- Moving similar settings together under Effects
- Adding bulk select and actions to members page
