Refactor Frontend + Asset code
- Use Laravel's Filesystem component for asset IO, meaning theoretically
assets should be storable on S3 etc.
- More reliable checking for asset recompilation when debug mode is on,
so you don't have to constantly delete the compiled assets to force
a recompile. Should also fix issues with locale JS files being
recompiled with the same name and cached.
- Remove JavaScript minification, because it will be done by Webpack
(exception is for the TextFormatter JS).
- Add support for JS sourcemaps.
- Separate frontend view and assets completely. This is an important
distinction because frontend assets are compiled independent of a
request, whereas putting together a view depends on a request.
- Bind frontend view/asset factory instances to the container (in
service providers) rather than subclassing. Asset and content
populators can be added to these factories – these are simply objects
that populate the asset compilers or the view with information.
- Add RouteHandlerFactory functions that make it easy to hook up a
frontend controller with a frontend instance ± some content.
- Remove the need for "nojs"
- Fix cache:clear command
- Recompile assets when settings/enabled extensions change
* Run extenders exported by extensions
* Add some basic extenders
* Patch Mithril as the very first thing so extension code can run safely
* Load the payload into the app before booting extensions
* Setup default routes before booting extensions
* Replace gulp with webpack and npm scripts for JS compilation
* Set up Travis CI to commit compiled JS
* Restructure `js` directory; only one instance of npm, forum/admin are "submodules"
* Refactor JS initializers into Application subclasses
* Maintain partial compatibility API (importing from absolute paths) for extensions
* Remove minification responsibility from PHP asset compiler
* Restructure `less` directory
* Update FontAwesome to v5.0.6
* Adapt DiscussionListItem-count icon to match FontAwesome 5 syntax
* Change icon name to match FontAwesome 5.0.6 fas icon
* Add font type prefix parameter to icon helper
* Add Enable Icon Prefix to show icon in Extension Page
* Fix invalid icon behavior
* Change icon name to match FontAwesome 5.0.6 far icon
* Use iconPrefix property on component
* Use full icon class name
* Update icon helper docblock
* Full icon class syntax
* Improve fulltext gambit
* Only search in visible posts
This change relies on the `visibility-scoping` branch to be merged.
* Change posts table to use InnoDB engine
Doing a JOIN between an InnoDB table (discussions) and a MyISAM table
(posts) is very very (very) bad for performance. FULLTEXT indexes are
fully supported in InnoDB now, and it is a superior engine in every
other way, so there is no longer any reason to be using MyISAM.
* Use ::class
* Only search for comment posts
* Add fulltext index to discussions.title
* Fix migration not working if there is a table prefix
* Update frontend appearance
* Apply fixes from StyleCI

* Show search result excerpts on mobile
* Add Custom Footer HTML
Straight copy from Custom Header HTML
* Move Custom Footer HTML to exactly before `</body>` tag.
* Fix invalid class name
* Append CustomFooterHTML when preparing the view.
* Some consistency in placing the variable
* Manage Composer height in a separate class with overridable methods
* Use a computed method
* Keep everything in Composer.js
* Drop usage of computed property for the Composer height
Because the Composer height also depends on the page height and is rarely called without position, height or page height changing anyway
Currently not user-customizable. Just needed to display statistics for a
client, so figured I'd make a start at this. Nothing too fancy for now,
but I'm sure some people will be happy to have this information at their
fingertips.
There is a Mithril bug which causes context.retain to be ineffective for
children nodes. https://github.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/issues/1300
Thus, we have to assume that the children nodes (like the textarea)
may be recreated and thus we need to update its height on each redraw.
fixes#948
- Don't scroll to the bottom of the discussion when selecting "Reply"
from the menu if the composer is in full screen mode (ie. on mobile).
ref #1271
- After posting a reply, scroll to the end of the discussion
- Reduce the textarea height - previously it was 100vh, but this doesn't
account for the height of the iOS keyboard, so I've just arbitrarily
chosen 300px instead. There may be a better solution for this.
ref #1269
#1074 changed the input type for these fields to "color", but it turns
out the browser support for this input type sucks (they give you a very
limited color picker, and make it hard to input hex codes).
Not sure why this started happening now, but the admin navigation
dropdown wasn't receiving its children properly. This commit fixes a
flaw in our Mithril patch and allows an array of children to be passed
in the normal JSX way, rather than as an attribute.
* Introduce user display names
It is not uncommon for forums to be intergrated with sites where users
don't have a unique "handle" - they might just have their first name,
or a full name, which is not guaranteed to be unique.
This commit introduces the concept of "display names" for users. By
default display names are the same as usernames, but extensions may
override this and set them to something different. The important thing
is that all code should use `display_name` whenever intending to output
a human-readable name - `username` is reserved for cases where you want
to output a unique identifier (which may or may not be human-friendly).
The new "GetDisplayName" API is probably sub-optimal, but I didn't worry
too much because we can come up with something better in `next-back`.
ref #557

The behaviour is not overly intuitive, and the icon wasn't helping
(hamburger icon usually means "menu"). Now the back button always goes
back to the index, no matter where you are, and there's a tooltip that
says "Back to discussion list".
Turns out the click handler was bound to the surrounding element
rather than the one that wraps the rendered bio when it is not
being edited.
Fixes#1145.
* Added option to hide the language selector in the header
* Added `hide_language_selector` Switch to BasicsPage
* Added `hideLanguageSelector` property to ForumSerializer
* Apparently fixed the "Add Extension" button locale.... someone must not have compiled their changes :P
* Changed hideLanguageSelector (and such) to showLanguageSelector
* Change `core.admin.basics.show_language_selector_heading` to be `_label`
* Change showLanguageSelector in ForumSerializer to be boolean, default: true
* Ooops! Remove console.log 🤦♂️
* Changed "Rename Discussion" prompt into a modal.
* Added DiscussionRenameModal component (Modal)
* Changed DiscussionControls.renameAction to use the modal (I may have removed the ability to return a promise)
* Added punycode.js back to js/forum dist
* Fixed some formatting, removed some unnecessary variables
* Add session option to Rememberer class
* Update session login function to allow send additional data
* Add Remember me checkbox
* Cleanup login modal
* Added type search to search bar (forum)
* Added CSS `box-sizing: inherit` to search <input> because bootstrap styles mess up the search box
* Added type color to both color settings in appearance (admin)
Interesting bug. Turns out that the JSX for the post header item list was producing m('ul', null, [children]), as you would expect. But Mithril 0.1.x interprets the null as another child rather than an attributes splat. This results in an empty text node being added to the DOM, which mucks up Mithril's diffing algorithm when it tries to add/move the items that we provide in the children array. The workaround is to not use JSX so we can get rid of that null/empty text node. This behaviour has been fixed in Mithril 1.0 so we will be able to remove the workaround.
* When clicking "refresh" button for discussion list (on homepage) refresh notifications
* When clicking forum title (on homepage) refresh notifications
Closes#268. Not going to bother with a preview SVG or anything fancy for now – we can think about that as part of #746. Right now it's just good to finally get this functionality in!
Also need to think about apple-touch-icon, msTile stuff, and social sharing image. Not sure if this is all too much for core, but it's definitely too much for the current Appearance page layout. Again, something to think about as part of #746.
Code is a bit rough around the edges, but figured there's not much point in using the command bus properly since #870.
Extensions may wish to add attributes/content to all posts, regardless of type, by extending methods on the Post component. Now the subclasses will not overwrite, but rather append to, these additions.
Previously a discussion was classified on the front-end as "hidden" if it had zero posts. This was technically a correct statement as the discussion would not be visible to the public... but it also meant that a discussion with zero posts (like one awaiting approval) was impossible for the OP to delete/hide (i.e. indicate that they made a mistake and they don't want the discussion to be approved).
- Introduce the concept of "required permissions" - basically a permission dependency tree. In order for a group to be granted one permission, they must also have another.
- Improve redraw performance by not building dropdown menu contents until dropdown is opened
ref #904
- All custom JS variables are now preloaded into the `app.data` object, rather than directly on the `app` object. This means that admin settings are available in `app.data.settings` rather than `app.settings`, etc.
- Cleaner route handler generation
- Renamed ConfigureClientView to ConfigureWebApp, though the former still exists and is deprecated
- Partial fix for #881 (strips ?nojs=1 from URL if possible, so that refreshing will attempt to load JS version again)
Showing the username and time of edit is TMI (too much information). This commit changes the visible text to "Edited", and shows the full edit information in a tooltip.
ref #446
This allows front-end translations to use basic (attributeless) HTML tags freely, without the need for the translator call to supply a matching vdom element. Translations can thus make use of styling (<em>, <code>, etc.) as they see fit. The translator call can still optionally supply a vdom element to substitute in more complex tags where necessary (e.g. hyperlinks).

* Fixes#945 - Incorrect Scrubber count value
Clicking and dragging the Scrubber beyond the final post causes the counter to exceed the total post count. This commit fixes that issue.
* Updated post calculating logic
This also adds a little button for expanding / collapsing this additional information.
It is expanded by default right now because I could not get the toggling to work yet.
Refs #428.
- Make sure is_activated is serialized to a bool (otherwise "0" will evaluate to true)
- Remove "error" class from message so it's more friendly
- Make the alert more prominent by mounting it into a new div at the top of the page
- Add loading UX to the resend button
Must be something in the latest version of Chrome that caused this to start being a problem, because @franzliedke started experiencing it a few days ago, and I only just experienced it for the first time yesterday.
Since Mithril doesn't really offer granular redraw control, typing in a text input on a modal would trigger a redraw for the whole page (including the page content behind the modal) on every keystroke. This commit allows components to be "paused" so that their vdom subtree will be retained instead of reconstructed on subsequent redraws. When a modal is opened, we pause the main page component, and when it's closed, we unpause it. This means that while a modal is visible, only the content inside of the modal will be redrawn, dramatically improving performance.
- On the front-end, correct the check to see if the discussion has no more posts
- On the back-end, run a query to count the posts instead of using the comments_count, because the comments_count does not include other deleted posts
Unfortunately we have no way to calculate the number of comment posts that are previous to the current viewing position of the discussion, without loading all of the posts which is going to be too expensive (even if we do it selectively somehow).
Also fixes a couple of miscellaneous bugs:
- Minimise the Composer when clicking the preview button in full-screen mode on desktop.
- Minimise the Composer when clicking the link to the discussion/post in the header on mobile/full-screen mode.
Turns out there's a little more to the regression in e5a7013. First, we need to give the spaces in between list items a key too. Second, there's a bug in the latest Mithril code where using string keys can break the diffing algorithm. I've patched it manually in our dist JS files for now, and reported the issue: https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js/issues/934
- In Mithril, `finally` has been removed from promise objects as it is not part of the ES spec. See https://gist.github.com/jish/e9bcd75e391a2b21206b for info on the substitute.
- Fix a regression introduced in e5a7013 which broke some redraws
Fixes#667. This issue was due to the fact that Mithril would change the "Lock" badge into a "Sticky" badge, but the tooltip initialization would not be triggered because it was using the same element. By maintaining element identity, the "Lock" badge will remain untouched, and a new element for the "Sticky" badge will be inserted before it. See https://lhorie.github.io/mithril/mithril.html#dealing-with-focus for more information.
Newly-created accounts are allowed to log in straight away, but they still have the permissions of a guest until they've confirmed their email address. Instead of showing a success message after registration, we reload the page since they're already logged in.
Still todo: show a message explaining that they need to verify their email address to do anything, and allow it to be resent.
- Use cookies + CSRF token for API authentication in the default client. This mitigates potential XSS attacks by making the token unavailable to JavaScript. The Authorization header is still supported, but not used by default.
- Make sensitive/destructive actions (editing a user, permanently deleting anything, visiting the admin CP) require the user to re-enter their password if they haven't entered it in the last 30 minutes.
- Refactor and clean up the authentication middleware.
- Add an `onhide` hook to the Modal component. (+1 squashed commit)
Extracts strings that were missed previously in:
- Dashboard page of admin interface.
- Edit Custom CSS modal of admin interface.
- Settings modal of admin interface.
- Post activity list on user page of forum UI.
Hopefully there aren't any more!
