With the introduction of the sidebar navigation menu, the design team at
Discourse redesigned the user profile navigation to better coexist with
the sidebar.
What does this change do?
This commit the client to override the navigation menu setting
configured by the site temporarily based on the value of the
`navigation_menu` query param. The new query param replaces the old
`enable_sidebar` query param.
Why do we need this change?
The motivation here is to allow theme maintainers to quickly preview
what the site will look like with the various navigation menu site
setting.
The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
Remove the per user groups based site setting in favor of a global site setting as we want to roll the glimmer topic timeline out to anon users as well as site users.
- Add `enable_experimental_topic_timeline` site setting
- Remove `enable_experimental_topic_timeline_groups` site setting
Allows users to configure their own custom sidebar sections with links withing Discourse instance. Links can be passed as relative path, for example "/tags" or full URL.
Only path is saved in DB, so when Discourse domain is changed, links will be still valid.
Feature is hidden behind SiteSetting.enable_custom_sidebar_sections. This hidden setting determines the group which members have access to this new feature.
## Why do we need this change?
When loading the ember app, [MessageBus does not start polling immediately](f31f0b70f8/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/initializers/message-bus.js (L71-L81)) and instead waits for `document.readyState` to be `complete`. What this means is that if there are new messages being created while we have yet to start polling, those messages will not be received by the client.
With sidebar being the default navigation menu, the counts derived from `topic-tracking-state.js` on the client side is prominently displayed on every page. Therefore, we want to ensure that we are not dropping any messages on the channels that `topic-tracking-state.js` subscribes to.
## What does this change do?
This includes the `MessageBus.last_id`s for the MessageBus channels which `topic-tracking-state.js` subscribes to as part of the preloaded data when loading a page. The last ids are then used when we subscribe the MessageBus channels so that messages which are published before MessageBus starts polling will not be missed.
## Review Notes
1. See https://github.com/discourse/message_bus#client-support for documentation about subscribing from a given message id.
When we introduce new color scheme colors, they are not immediately persisted to the database for all color schemes. Previously, this meant that they would be unavailable in the admin UI for editing. The only way to work with the new colors was to create a new color scheme.
This commit updates the serializer so that all colors are serialized, even if they are not yet persisted to the database for the current scheme. This means that they now show up in the admin UI and can be edited.
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information.
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope.
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.
Prior to this change, we were parsing `Post#cooked` every time we
serialize a post to extract the usernames of mentioned users in the
post. However, the only reason we have to do this is to support
displaying a user's status beside each mention in a post on the client side when
the `enable_user_status` site setting is enabled. When
`enable_user_status` is disabled, we should avoid having to parse
`Post#cooked` since there is no point in doing so.
These accidental inclusions are mostly no-ops (because the method name is also included as an explicit symbol). The mistakes were made more obvious because syntax_tree adjusted the indentation of these methods
Links to category settings were created using the category name. If the name was a single word, the link would be valid (regardless of capitalization).
For example, if the category was named `Awesome`
`/c/Awesome/edit/settings`
is a valid URL as that is a case-insensitive match for the category slug of `awesome`.
However, if the category had a space in it, the URL would be
`/c/Awesome%20Name/edit/settings`
which does not match the slug of `awesome-name`.
This change uses the category slug, rather than the name, which is the expected behaviour (see `Category.find_by_slug_path`).
We show live user status on mentions starting from a76d864. But status didn’t appear on the post that appears on the bottom of the topic just after a user posted it (status appeared only after page reloading). This adds status to just posted posts.
Note this is a very large PR, and some of it could have been splited, but keeping it one chunk made it to merge conflicts and to revert if necessary. Actual new code logic is also not that much, as most of the changes are removing js tests, adding system specs or moving things around.
To make it possible this commit is doing the following changes:
- converting (and adding new) existing js acceptances tests into system tests. This change was necessary to ensure as little regressions as possible while changing paradigm
- moving away from store. Using glimmer and tracked properties requires to have class objects everywhere and as a result works well with models. However store/adapters are suffering from many bugs and limitations. As a workaround the `chat-api` and `chat-channels-manager` are an answer to this problem by encapsulating backend calls and frontend storage logic; while still using js models.
- dropping `appEvents` as much as possible. Using tracked properties and a better local storage of channel models, allows to be much more reactive and doesn’t require arbitrary manual updates everywhere in the app.
- while working on replacing store, the existing work of a chat api (backend) has been continued to support more cases.
- removing code from the `chat` service to separate concerns, `chat-subscriptions-manager` and `chat-channels-manager`, being the largest examples of where the code has been rewritten/moved.
Future wok:
- improve behavior when closing/deleting a channel, it's already slightly buggy on live, it's rare enough that it's not a big issue, but should be improved
- improve page objects used in chat
- move more endpoints to the API
- finish temporarily skipped tests
- extract more code from the `chat` service
- use glimmer for `chat-messages`
- separate concerns in `chat-live-pane`
- eventually add js tests for `chat-api`, `chat-channels-manager` and `chat-subscriptions-manager`, they are indirectly heavy tested through system tests but it would be nice to at least test the public API

We were changing the user's user_option.bookmark_auto_delete_preference
to whatever they changed it to in the bookmark modal to use as default
for future bookmarks. However this was leading to a lot of confusion
since if you wanted to set it for one bookmark you had to remember to
change it back on the next one.
This commit removes that automatic functionality, and instead moves
the bookmark auto delete preference to User Preferences > Interface
in an explicit dropdown.
* FEATURE: Show similar users when penalizing a user
Moderators will be notified if other users with the same IP address
exist before penalizing a user.
* FEATURE: Allow staff to penalize multiple users
This allows staff members to suspend or silence multiple users belonging
to the same person.
This new site setting replaces the
`enable_experimental_sidebar_hamburger` and `enable_sidebar` site
settings as the sidebar feature exits the experimental phase.
Note that we're replacing this without depreciation since the previous
site setting was considered experimental.

In this PR, we introduced an option, that when all authenticators are disabled, but backup codes still exists, user can authenticate with those backup codes. This was reverted as this is not expected behavior.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/18982
Instead, when the last authenticator is deleted, backup codes should be deleted as well. Because this disables 2fa, user is asked to confirm that action by typing text.
In addition, UI for 2fa preferences was refreshed.
Note that we don't have a database table and a model for post mentions yet, and I decided to implement it without adding one to avoid heavy data migrations. Still, we may want to add such a model later, that would be convenient, we have such a model for mentions in chat.
Note that status appears on all mentions on all posts in a topic except of the case when you just posted a new post, and it appeared on the bottom of the topic. On such posts, status won't be shown immediately for now (you'll need to reload the page to see the status). I'll take care of it in one of the following PRs.
User options were serialized at the root level of CurrentUserSerializer,
but UserSerializer has a user_option field. This inconsistency caused
issues in the past because user_option fields had to be duplicated on
the frontend.
In an effort to modernize our codebase to the latest Ember version we have selected the Topic Timeline as a candidate to be refactored. The topic timeline component was originally built with `Widgets` and this PR will upgrade it to `Glimmer Components`.
The refactored timeline is hidden by default behind a group flag, `SiteSetting.enable_experimental_topic_timeline_groups`. Being part of a group included in this site setting will make the new timeline available for testing.
## Other points of interest
This PR introduces a `Draggable Modifier` available to all components, which will take the place of the existing _drag functionality_ exclusive to widgets.
It can be included like so:
```
{{draggable didStartDrag=@didStartDrag didEndDrag=@didEndDrag dragMove=@dragMove }}
```
Users who can access the review queue can claim a pending reviewable(s) which means that the claimed reviewable(s) can only be handled by the user who claimed it. Currently, we show claimed reviewables in the user menu, but this can be annoying for other reviewers because they can't do anything about a reviewable claimed by someone. So this PR makes sure that we only show in the user menu reviewables that are claimed by nobody or claimed by the current user.
Internal topic: t/77235.
This PR adds separate notification indicators for PMs and reviewables that have arrived since the last time the user opened the notifications menu.
The PM indicator is the strongest one of all three indicators followed by the reviewable indicator and then finally the blue indicator. This means that if there's a new PM and a new reviewable, then the PM indicator will be shown.

This commit fleshes out and adds functionality for the new `#hashtag` search and
lookup system, still hidden behind the `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete`
feature flag.
**Serverside**
We have two plugin API registration methods that are used to define data sources
(`register_hashtag_data_source`) and hashtag result type priorities depending on
the context (`register_hashtag_type_in_context`). Reading the comments in plugin.rb
should make it clear what these are doing. Reading the `HashtagAutocompleteService`
in full will likely help a lot as well.
Each data source is responsible for providing its own **lookup** and **search**
method that returns hashtag results based on the arguments provided. For example,
the category hashtag data source has to take into account parent categories and
how they relate, and each data source has to define their own icon to use for the
hashtag, and so on.
The `Site` serializer has two new attributes that source data from `HashtagAutocompleteService`.
There is `hashtag_icons` that is just a simple array of all the different icons that
can be used for allowlisting in our markdown pipeline, and there is `hashtag_context_configurations`
that is used to store the type priority orders for each registered context.
When sending emails, we cannot render the SVG icons for hashtags, so
we need to change the HTML hashtags to the normal `#hashtag` text.
**Markdown**
The `hashtag-autocomplete.js` file is where I have added the new `hashtag-autocomplete`
markdown rule, and like all of our rules this is used to cook the raw text on both the clientside
and on the serverside using MiniRacer. Only on the server side do we actually reach out to
the database with the `hashtagLookup` function, on the clientside we just render a plainer
version of the hashtag HTML. Only in the composer preview do we do further lookups based
on this.
This rule is the first one (that I can find) that uses the `currentUser` based on a passed
in `user_id` for guardian checks in markdown rendering code. This is the `last_editor_id`
for both the post and chat message. In some cases we need to cook without a user present,
so the `Discourse.system_user` is used in this case.
**Chat Channels**
This also contains the changes required for chat so that chat channels can be used
as a data source for hashtag searches and lookups. This data source will only be
used when `enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete` is `true`, so we don't have
to worry about channel results suddenly turning up.
------
**Known Rough Edges**
- Onebox excerpts will not render the icon svg/use tags, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Selecting a hashtag + pressing the Quote button will result in weird behaviour, I plan to address that in a follow up PR
- Mixed hashtag contexts for hashtags without a type suffix will not work correctly, e.g. #ux which is both a category and a channel slug will resolve to a category when used inside a post or within a [chat] transcript in that post. Users can get around this manually by adding the correct suffix, for example ::channel. We may get to this at some point in future
- Icons will not show for the hashtags in emails since SVG support is so terrible in email (this is not likely to be resolved, but still noting for posterity)
- Additional refinements and review fixes wil
Currently, we have available three 2fa methods:
- Token-Based Authenticators
- Physical Security Keys
- Two-Factor Backup Codes
If the first two are deleted, user lose visibility of their backup codes, which suggests that 2fa is disabled.
However, when they try to authenticate, the account is locked, and they have to ask admin to fix that problem.
This PR is fixing the issue. User still sees backup codes in their panel and can use them to authenticate.
In next PR, I will improve UI to clearly notify the user when 2fa is fully disabled and when it is still active.
Since the system user is a regular user, it can have its
`allow_private_messages` user option turned off, which
with our current `can_send_private_message?(Discourse.system_user)`
check inside the CurrentUserSerializer, will prevent any
user from sending messages in the UI if the system user is not
accepting PMs.
This commit adds a new `can_send_private_messages?` method to
the Guardian, which can be used in serializers and not depend
on the system user. When the user actually sends a message
we still rely on the old `can_send_private_message?(target)`
call to see if they are allowed to send the message to the target.
The new method is just to say they can "generally" send
private messages.
Before this commit, we did not have guardian checks in place to determine if a
topic's title associated with a user badge should be displayed or not.
This means that the topic title of topics with restricted access
could be leaked to anon and users without access if certain conditions
are met. While we will not specify the conditions required, we have internally
assessed that the odds of meeting such conditions are low.
With this commit, we will now apply a guardian check to ensure that the
current user is able to see a topic before the topic's title is included
in the serialized object of a `UserBadge`.
The previous sidebar default tags and categories implementation did not
allow for a user to configure their sidebar to have no categories or
tags. This commit changes how the defaults are applied. When a user is being created,
we create the SidebarSectionLink records based on the `default_sidebar_categories` and
`default_sidebar_tags` site settings. SidebarSectionLink records are
only created for categories and tags which the user has visibility on at
the point of user creation.
With this change, we're also adding the ability for admins to apply
changes to the `default_sidebar_categories` and `default_sidebar_tags`
site settings historically when changing their site setting. When a new
category/tag has been added to the default, the new category/tag will be
added to the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the changes historically.
Like wise when a tag/category is removed, the tag/category will be
removed from the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the
changes historically.

Before, `sidebar_list_destination` was an attribute on UserOptionSerializer. The problem was that this attribute was added to user model only when the user entered the preferences panel. We want that attribute to be available all the time, therefore it was moved to CurrentUserSerializer.
This commit introduces a new framework for building user tutorials as
popups using the Tippy JS library. Currently, the new framework is used
to replace the old notification spotlight and tips and show a new one
related to the topic timeline.
All popups follow the same structure and have a title, a description and
two buttons for either dismissing just the current tip or all of them
at once.
The state of all seen popups is stored in a user option. Updating
skip_new_user_tips will automatically update the list of seen popups
accordingly.
Adds a new upload field for a second dark mode category logo.
This alternative will be used when the browser is in dark mode (similar to the global site setting for a dark logo).
This commit makes pending reviewables show up in the main tab (a.k.a. "all notifications" tab). Pending reviewables along with unread notifications are always shown first and they're sorted based on their creation date (most recent comes first).
The dismiss button currently only shows up if there are unread notifications and it doesn't dismiss pending reviewables. We may follow up with another change soon that allows makes the dismiss button work with reviewables and remove them from the list without taking any action on them.
