We don't actually use the reminder_type for bookmarks anywhere;
we are just storing it. It has no bearing on the UI. It used
to be relevant with the at_desktop bookmark reminders (see
fa572d3a7a)
This commit marks the column as readonly, ignores it, and removes
the index, and it will be dropped in a later PR. Some plugins
are relying on reminder_type partially so some stubs have been
left in place to avoid errors.
We don't need no stinkin' denormalization! This commit ignores
the topic_id column on bookmarks, to be deleted at a later date.
We don't really need this column and it's better to rely on the
post.topic_id as the canonical topic_id for bookmarks, then we
don't need to remember to update both columns if the bookmarked
post moves to another topic.
In order to include the new/unread count in the browse more message
under suggested topics, a couple of technical changes have to be made.
1. `PrivateMessageTopicTrackingState` is now auto-injected which is
similar to how it is done for `TopicTrackingState`. This is done so
we don't have to attempt to pass the `PrivateMessageTopicTrackingState`
object multiple levels down into the suggested-topics component. While
the object is auto-injected, we only fetch the initial state and start
tracking when the relevant private messages routes has been hit and only
when a private message's suggested topics is loaded. This is
done as we do not want to add the extra overhead of fetching the inital
state to all page loads but instead wait till the private messages
routes are hit.
2. Previously, we would stop tracking once the `user-private-messages`
route has been deactivated. However, that is not ideal since
navigating out of the route and back means we send an API call to the
server each time. Since `PrivateMessageTopicTrackingState` is kept in
sync cheaply via messageBus, we can just continue to track the state
even if the user has navigated away from the relevant stages.
PresenceChannel aims to be a generic system for allow the server, and end-users, to track the number and identity of users performing a specific task on the site. For example, it might be used to track who is currently 'replying' to a specific topic, editing a specific wiki post, etc.
A few key pieces of information about the system:
- PresenceChannels are identified by a name of the format `/prefix/blah`, where `prefix` has been configured by some core/plugin implementation, and `blah` can be any string the implementation wants to use.
- Presence is a boolean thing - each user is either present, or not present. If a user has multiple clients 'present' in a channel, they will be deduplicated so that the user is only counted once
- Developers can configure the existence and configuration of channels 'just in time' using a callback. The result of this is cached for 2 minutes.
- Configuration of a channel can specify permissions in a similar way to MessageBus (public boolean, a list of allowed_user_ids, and a list of allowed_group_ids). A channel can also be placed in 'count_only' mode, where the identity of present users is not revealed to end-users.
- The backend implementation uses redis lua scripts, and is designed to scale well. In the future, hard limits may be introduced on the maximum number of users that can be present in a channel.
- Clients can enter/leave at will. If a client has not marked itself 'present' in the last 60 seconds, they will automatically 'leave' the channel. The JS implementation takes care of this regular check-in.
- On the client-side, PresenceChannel instances can be fetched from the `presence` ember service. Each PresenceChannel can be used entered/left/subscribed/unsubscribed, and the service will automatically deduplicate information before interacting with the server.
- When a client joins a PresenceChannel, the JS implementation will automatically make a GET request for the current channel state. To avoid this, the channel state can be serialized into one of your existing endpoints, and then passed to the `subscribe` method on the channel.
- The PresenceChannel JS object is an ember object. The `users` and `count` property can be used directly in ember templates, and in computed properties.
- It is important to make sure that you `unsubscribe()` and `leave()` any PresenceChannel objects after use
An example implementation may look something like this. On the server:
```ruby
register_presence_channel_prefix("site") do |channel|
next nil unless channel == "/site/online"
PresenceChannel::Config.new(public: true)
end
```
And on the client, a component could be implemented like this:
```javascript
import Component from "@ember/component";
import { inject as service } from "@ember/service";
export default Component.extend({
presence: service(),
init() {
this._super(...arguments);
this.set("presenceChannel", this.presence.getChannel("/site/online"));
},
didInsertElement() {
this.presenceChannel.enter();
this.presenceChannel.subscribe();
},
willDestroyElement() {
this.presenceChannel.leave();
this.presenceChannel.unsubscribe();
},
});
```
With this template:
```handlebars
Online: {{presenceChannel.count}}
<ul>
{{#each presenceChannel.users as |user|}}
<li>{{avatar user imageSize="tiny"}} {{user.username}}</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
```
There are certain design decisions that were made in this commit.
Private messages implements its own version of topic tracking state because there are significant differences between regular and private_message topics. Regular topics have to track categories and tags while private messages do not. It is much easier to design the new topic tracking state if we maintain two different classes, instead of trying to mash this two worlds together.
One MessageBus channel per user and one MessageBus channel per group. This allows each user and each group to have their own channel backlog instead of having one global channel which requires the client to filter away unrelated messages.
This commit adds the number of drafts a user has next to the "Draft"
label in the user preferences menu and activity tab. The count is
updated via MessageBus when a draft is created or destroyed.
When configured, all topics in the category inherits the slow mode
duration from the category's default.
Note that currently there is no way to remove the slow mode from the
topics once it has been set.
Configuring staged users to watch categories and tags is a way to sign
them up to get many emails. These emails may be unwanted and get marked
as spam, hurting the site's email deliverability.
Users can opt-in to email notifications by logging on to their
account and configuring their own preferences.
If staff need to be able to configure these preferences on behalf of
staged users, the "allow changing staged user tracking" site setting
can be enabled. Default is to not allow it.

* FEATURE: add penalty history when silencing a user
Display penalty history (last 6 months) when silencing/suspending a user
* FEATURE: allow default penalty values to be chosen
Adds a site setting that designates default penalty values in hours.
Silence/suspend modals will auto-fill in the default values, but otherwise
will still allow moderators to pick and overwrite values as normal.
First silence/suspend: first value
Second silence/suspend: second value
etc.
Penalty counts are forgiven at the same rate as tl3 promotion requirements do.

User flair was given by user's primary group. This PR separates the
two, adds a new field to the user model for flair group ID and users
can select their flair from user preferences now.
And also move all the "top topics by period" routes to query string param.
/top/monthly => /top?period=monthly
/c/:slug/:id/l/top/monthly => /c/:slug/:id/l/top?period=monthly
/tag/:slug/l/top/daily => /tag/:slug/l/top?period=daily (new)
Users can invite people to topics from secured category, but they will
not be redirected to the topic after signing up unless they have the
permissions to view the topic. This commit shows a warning when invite
is saved if the topic is in a secured category and none of the invite
groups are allowed to see it.
We changed (https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/13407) behaviour of the topic level bookmark button recently. That PR made the button be opening the edit bookmark modal when there is only one bookmark on the topic instead of just removing that bookmark as it was before.
This PR fixes the next problems that weren't taken into account in the previous PR:
1. Everything should work fine even on very big topics when a bookmarked post is unloaded from the post stream. I've added code that loads the post we need and makes everything work as expected
2. When at least one bookmark on the topic has a reminder, we should always be showing the icon with a clock on the topic level bookmark button
3. We should show correct tooltips for the topic level bookmark button
The generated regular expressions did not contain \b which matched
every text that contained the word, even if it was only a substring of
a word.
For example, if "art" was a watched word a post containing word
"artist" matched.
The first thing we needed here was an enum rather than a boolean to determine how a directory_column was created. Now we have `automatic`, `user_field` and `plugin` directory columns.
This plugin API is assuming that the plugin has added a migration to a column to the `directory_items` table.
This was created to be initially used by discourse-solved. PR with API usage - https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved/pull/137/
Profiling showed that we were roughly 10% of a request time creating all
the ActiveRecord objects for categories in the `Site` model on a site with 61 categories.
Instead of querying for the categories each time based on which categories the user can see,
we can just preload all of the categories upfront and filter out the
categories that the user can not see.
It was not clear that replace watched words can be used to replace text
with URLs. This introduces a new watched word type that makes it easier
to understand.
I merged this PR in yesterday, finally thinking this was done https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12958 but then a wild performance regression occurred. These are the problem methods:
1aa20bd681/app/serializers/topic_tracking_state_serializer.rb (L13-L21)
Turns out date comparison is super expensive on the backend _as well as_ the frontend.
The fix was to just move the `treat_as_new_topic_start_date` into the SQL query rather than using the slower `UserOption#treat_as_new_topic_start_date` method in ruby. After this change, 1% of the total time is spent with the `created_in_new_period` comparison instead of ~20%.

History:

The issue with the original PR is addressed in 92ef54f402
If you went to the `x unread` link for a tag Chrome would freeze up and possibly crash, or eventually unfreeze after nearly 10 mins. Other routes for unread/new were similarly slow. From profiling the issue was the `sync` function of `topic-tracking-state.js`, which calls down to `isNew` which in turn calls `moment`, a change I had made in the PR above. The time it takes locally with ~1400 topics in the tracking state is 2.3 seconds.
To solve this issue, I have moved these calculations for "created in new period" and "unread not too old" into the tracking state serializer.
When I was looking at the profiler I also noticed this issue which was just compounding the problem. Every time we modify topic tracking state we recalculate the sidebar tracking/everything/tag counts. However this calls `forEachTracked` and `countTags` which can be quite expensive as they go through the whole tracking state (and were also calling the removed moment functions).
I added some logs and this was being called 30 times when navigating to a new /unread route because `sync` is being called from `build-topic-route` (one for each topic loaded due to pagination). So I just added a debounce here and it makes things even faster.
Finally, I changed topic tracking state to use a Map so our counts of the state keys is faster (Maps have .size whereas objects you have to do Object.keys(obj) which is O(n).)

Refactors `TrustLevel` and moves translations from server to client
Additional changes:
* "staff" and "admin" wasn't translatable in site settings
* it replaces a concatenated string with a translation
* uses translation for trust levels in users_by_trust_level report
* adds a DB migration to rename keys of translation overrides affected by this commit
When the client received a new notification, it prioritized only PM
notifications instead of maintaining the priority order. Later, the
check for missing notification deleted all notifications that were
in the wrong order because it could not match the IDs.
The correct order puts high_priority AND unread notifications first.
Low priority or read notifications (including high priority, but read
notifications) come after.

This overhauls the user interface for the group email settings management, aiming to make it a lot easier to test the settings entered and confirm they are correct before proceeding. We do this by forcing the user to test the settings before they can be saved to the database. It also includes some quality of life improvements around setting up IMAP and SMTP for our first supported provider, GMail. This PR does not remove the old group email config, that will come in a subsequent PR. This is related to https://meta.discourse.org/t/imap-support-for-group-inboxes/160588 so read that if you would like more backstory.
### UI
Both site settings of `enable_imap` and `enable_smtp` must be true to test this. You must enable SMTP first to enable IMAP.
You can prefill the SMTP settings with GMail configuration. To proceed with saving these settings you must test them, which is handled by the EmailSettingsValidator.
If there is an issue with the configuration or credentials a meaningful error message should be shown.
IMAP settings must also be validated when IMAP is enabled, before saving.
When saving IMAP, we fetch the mailboxes for that account and populate them. This mailbox must be selected and saved for IMAP to work (the feature acts as though it is disabled until the mailbox is selected and saved):
### Database & Backend
This adds several columns to the Groups table. The purpose of this change is to make it much more explicit that SMTP/IMAP is enabled for a group, rather than relying on settings not being null. Also included is an UPDATE query to backfill these columns. These columns are automatically filled when updating the group.
For GMail, we now filter the mailboxes returned. This is so users cannot use a mailbox like Sent or Trash for syncing, which would generally be disastrous.
There is a new group endpoint for testing email settings. This may be useful in the future for other places in our UI, at which point it can be extracted to a more generic endpoint or module to be included.
