Site data is preloaded on the first page load, which includes categories
data. For sites with many categories, site data takes a long time to
serialize and to transfer.
In the future, preloaded category data will be completely removed.
This commit introduces a new endpoint to search categories and uses it
instead of the categories map that is preloaded using SiteSerializer.
This feature is enabled only when the hidden site setting
lazy_load_categories is enabled and should be used only on sites with
many categories.
At this moment, this feature is under a site setting named
lazy_load_categories.
In the future, categories will no longer be preloaded through site data.
This commit add information about categories in topic list and ensures
that data is used to display topic list items.
Parent categories are serialized too because they are necessary to
render {{category-link}}.
Some sites have a large number of categories and fetching the category
IDs or category topic IDs just to build another query can take a long
time or resources (i.e. memory).
Some plugins call require_plugin with a wrong argument instead of the
plugin name. In a production environment that used to be a warning, but
there is no reason to keep it like that in a testing environment
because the issue will continue to be ignored.
Usually, when a user is promoted to TL2 two messages are sent. The
first one is a system message 'tl2_promotion_message' which triggers a
'system_message_sent' Discourse event.
When the event is fired and if Discourse Narrative Bot is enabled, then
a second message is sent to the recipient of the first message. The
recipients was determined by looking at the list of users that can
access that topic and pick the last one. This method does not work if
'site_contact_group_name' site setting is set because it adds the group
in the list of recipients.
A solution to this problem would have been to select the last user in
the list of 'topic_allowed_users', but an even better solution is to
pass the name of the recipients when the 'system_message_sent'
Discourse event is fired.
Privacy Policy and Terms of Service topics are no longer created by
default for communities that have not set a company name. For this
reason, some URLs were pointing to 404 page.
Legal topics, such as the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy topics
do not make sense if the entity creating the community is not a company.
These topics will be created and updated only when the company name is
present and deleted when it is not.
The welcome topic user tip was for admins only, but in general, user
tips should be used for guiding new users through the features that
Discourse offers. For this reason, we decided to remove the user tip.
This commit also includes a few more copy tweaks to the welcome topic.
The old method updated only existing records, without considering that
new tags might have been created or some tags might not exist anymore.
This was usually not a problem because the stats were also updated by
other code paths.
However, the ensure consistency job should be more solid and help when
other code paths fail or after importing data.
Also, update category tag stats too should happen when updating other
category stats as well.
Watched words were converted to regular expressions containing \W, which
handled only ASCII characters. Using [^[:word]] instead ensures that
UTF-8 characters are also handled correctly.
- Update welcome topic copy
- Edit the welcome topic automatically when the title or description changes
- Remove “Create your Welcome Topic” banner/CTA
- Add "edit welcome topic" user tip
Large or broken images are removed from oneboxes, but sometimes images
were removed when they were oneboxed too. The reason is that images can
be oneboxed by the AllowlistedGenericOnebox or ImageOnebox and only
AllowlistedGenericOnebox was handled correctly.
The status should use the word "user" instead of "flag", for example
"approved user" instead of "approved flag". The problem was caused by
a mismatched type.
Invite only and Discourse connect could not be enabled at the same time
because of some legacy reason. This is a follow up commit to ce04db8,
355d51a and 40f6ceb.
The translation key is built using the name of the reviewable as it was
defined in Ruby. The chat plugin uses the `Chat` namespace and defines
`Chat::ReviewableMessage`. This was then transformed to
`chat::reviewable_message`, but it should be `chat_reviewable_message`
to resemble the other translation keys.
Sites with many categories and many of them in muted by default (see
`default_categories_muted`) reported bad performance when requesting
the homepage as an anonymous user. This was the case because of the
long query that iterated over topics and categories trying to remove
those from the muted categories.
This commit implements many changes to topic and comments embedding. It
deprecates the class_name field from EmbeddableHost and suggests using
the className parameter. discourse_username parameter has been
deprecated and it will fetch it from embedded site from the author or
discourse-username meta.
See the updated code sample from Admin > Customize > Embedding page.
* FEATURE: Add className parameter for Discourse embed
* DEV: Hide class_name from EmbeddableHost
* DEV: Deprecate class_name field of EmbeddableHost
* FEATURE: Use either author or discourse-username meta tag
* DEV: Deprecate discourse_username parameter
* DEV: Improve embed code sample
Regular users should be redirected to the homepage after the topic is
no longer accessible by them (only staff members can view deleted
topics). There was a problem with permission checking for category
moderators which stopped the redirect from happening.
Partial username or name matches were shown together with metadata
matched results. This created a bad user experience because results
that look unrelated were before even partial or exact group matches.
This commits adds a database migration to limit the user status to 100
characters, limits the user status in the UI and makes sure that the
emoji is valid.
Follow up to commit b6f75e231c.
* FIX: Ensure soft-deleted topics can be deleted
The topic was not found during the deletion process because it was
deleted and `@post.topic` was nil.
* DEV: Use @topic instead of finding the topic every time
The check used to be necessary because we validated the referrer too and
this bypass was a workaround a bug that is present in some browsers that
do not send the correct referrer.
If unaccent is called with quote-like Unicode characters then it can
generate invalid queries because some of the transformed quotes by
unaccent are not escaped and to_tsquery fails because of bad input.
This commits replaces more quote-like Unicode characters before
unaccent is called.
* DEV: Remove enable_whispers site setting
Whispers are enabled as long as there is at least one group allowed to
whisper, see whispers_allowed_groups site setting.
* DEV: Always enable whispers for admins if at least one group is allowed.
This commit promotes all post_deploy migrations which existed in
Discourse v2.8.0 (timestamp <= 20220107014925).
This commit includes a fix to the promote_migrations script to promote
all migrations of the first version of the previous stable version. For
example, if the current stable version is v2.8.13, the version used as
a cutoff for promoting migrations is v2.8.0.
The tsquery used for searching is generated using both functions from
Ruby and Postgresql (for example, unaccent function). Depending on the
term used, it generated an invalid tsquery. For example "can’t"
generated "''can''t''" instead of "''can''''t''".
* 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.
* FIX: Save only visible fields from the sidebar page
* FIX: Do not reset seen popups when set to false
If the option was unchecked, but it was not changed at all by the user
it was still sent to the server as a 'false' value which reset all seen
popups. This removes that behavior and resetting the list of seen popups
must be done using the "skip new user tips" button.
When a screened IP address is matched because it is either blocked or
allowed it should update match_count. This did not work because it
tried to validate the IP address and it failed as it matched with
itself.
* FEATURE: Show warning if group cannot be mentioned
A similar warning is displayed when the user cannot be mentioned because
they have not been invited to the topic.
* FEATURE: Resolve mentions for new topic
This commit improves several improvements and refactors
/u/is_local_username route to a better /composer/mentions route that
can handle new topics too.
* FEATURE: Show warning if only some are notified
Sometimes users are still notified even if the group that was mentioned
was not invited to the message. This happens because its members were
invited directly or are members of other groups that were invited.
* DEV: Refactor _warnCannotSeeMention
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.
It used to fail without displaying an error message if no upload
extensions were authorized. This also disables the button in the
first place to avoid displaying an error to the user (the error
will be displayed only when drag and dropping a file).
Adds stats for API and user API requests similar to regular page views.
This comes with a new report to visualize API requests per day like the
consolidated page views one.
Opening of links in a new tab was difficult because it used a hack to
remove the 'href' attribute and adding it back to prevent the event
taking place instead of calling preventDefault.
This hack is no longer necessary because event handling has been
normalized since it has been implemented (see commit
0221855ba7).
The user attributes are not updated between clients and that is a
problem with user tips because the same user tip will be displayed
multiple times, once for every client.
* FIX: Update user options only once
Performing actions that updated list of seen popups used to update user
options everytime instead of checking if the change has any effect.
* FIX: Load updated user data from response
* DEV: Add utility to hide all user tips
* DEV: Add UserTip Glimmer component
* DEV: Add tests for existing user tips
* FEATURE: Add user tip for post menu
* FEATURE: Add user tip for topic notification level
* FEATURE: Add user tip for suggested topics
* FEATURE: Hide new popups for existing users
Linking a commit from a GitHub pull request included the complete commit
message, instead of just the first line. The rest of the commit message
will be added to the body of the Onebox.
* DEV: Use list controller and action
It used an empty action handler which just returned the app and it
required another request to get the topic list. By using the correct
controller and action we can preload the topic list.
When PostRevisor is called with 'skip_validations: true' it can save
the post twice and one of the calls passes the correct 'validate: false'
argument, but the other one does not.
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.
