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
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.
Staff can send a post to the review queue by clicking the "Flag Post" button next to "Take Action...". Clicking it flags the post using the "Notify moderators" score type and hides it. A custom message will be sent to the user.
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.
* DEV: Use Ember CLI middleware to decorate the index template
Previously we'd do this on the client side which did not support our
full plugin API. Now requests for the index template will contact the
dev server for a bootstrap.json and apply it to the current template.
* FIX: Allows logins in development mode for Ember CLI
* 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.
* FEATURE: Sort redeemed users by creation time
* UX: Improve show / hide advanced options link
* FIX: Show redeemed users even if invites were trashed
* UX: Change modal title when editing invite
* UX: Remove Get Link button
Users can get it from the edit modal
* FEATURE: Add limit for invite links generated by regular users
* FEATURE: Add option to skip email
* UX: Show better error messages
* FIX: Show "Invited by" even if invite was trashed

* FEATURE: Add button to save without sending email
Follow up to c86379a465f28a3cc64a4a8c939cf32cf2931659.
* DEV: Use a buffer to hold all changed data
* FEATURE: Close modal after save
* FEATURE: Rate limit resend invite email
* FEATURE: Make the save buttons smarter
* FEATURE: Do not always send email even for new invites
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.
We were sending 2 emails for user silencing if a message was provided in the UI. Also always send email for user silence and user suspend with reason regardless of whether message provided.
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.
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
Follow up https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/11968
Dismiss all new topics using the same DismissTopicService. In addition, MessageBus receives exact topic ids which should be marked as `seen`.
* FEATURE: Ability to dismiss new topics in a specific tag
Follow up of https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/11927
Using the same mechanism to disable new topics in a tag.
* FIX: respect when category and tag is selected
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.
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`.
