This commit moves topic view tracking from happening
every time a Topic is requested, which is susceptible
to inflating numbers of views from web crawlers, to
our request tracker middleware.
In this new location, topic views are only tracked when
the following headers are sent:
* HTTP_DISCOURSE_TRACK_VIEW - This is sent on every page navigation when
clicking around the ember app. We count these as browser page views
because we know it comes from the AJAX call in our app. The topic ID
is extracted from HTTP_DISCOURSE_TRACK_VIEW_TOPIC_ID
* HTTP_DISCOURSE_DEFERRED_TRACK_VIEW - Sent when MessageBus initializes
after first loading the page to count the initial page load view. The
topic ID is extracted from HTTP_DISCOURSE_DEFERRED_TRACK_VIEW.
This will bring topic views more in line with the change we
made to page views in the referenced commit and result in
more realistic topic view counts.
I am changing many of these to notes or resolving them as is,
most of these I have not actively worked on in years so someone
else can work on them when we get to these areas again.
This commit continues work laid out by ffec8163b0 for the admin config page for the /about page. The last commit set up the user interface, and this one sets up all the wiring needed to make the input fields and save buttons actually work.
Internal topic: t/128544.
We want to allow admins to make new required fields apply to existing users. In order for this to work we need to have a way to make those users fill up the fields on their next page load. This is very similar to how adding a 2FA requirement post-fact works. Users will be redirected to a page where they can fill up the remaining required fields, and until they do that they won't be able to do anything else.
Adds a checkbox to filter untranslated text strings in the admin UI, behind a hidden and default `false` site setting `admin_allow_filter_untranslated_text`.

Many site settings can be distructive or have huge side-effects
for a site that the admin may not be aware of when changing it.
This commit introduces a `requires_confirmation` attribute that
can be added to any site setting. When it is true, a confirmation
dialog will open if that setting is changed in the admin UI,
optionally with a custom message that is defined in client.en.yml.
If the admin does not confirm, we reset the setting to its previous
clean value and do not save the new value.
Some tooling may rely on an unsafe-none cross origin opener policy to work. This change adds a hidden site setting that can be used to list referrers where we add this header instead of the default one configured in cross_origin_opener_policy_header.
A new admin setting called `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`. It allows users to authenticate using external providers even when 2FA is forced with `enforce_second_factor` site setting.

This commit adds ability to fetch a subset of site settings from the `/admin/site_settings` endpoint so that it can be used in all places where the client app needs access to a subset of the site settings.
Additionally, this commit also introduces a new service class called `UpdateSiteSetting` that encapsulates all the logic that surrounds updating a site setting so that it can be used to update site setting(s) anywhere in the backend. This service comes in handy with, for example, the controller for the flags admin config area which may need to update some site settings related to flags.
Internal topic: t/130713.
This commits introduces the `sidekiq_report_long_running_jobs_minutes`
global setting which allows a site administrator to log a warning in the
Rails log when a Sidekiq job has been running for too long.
The warning is logged with the backtrace of the thread that is
processing the Sidekiq job to make it easier to figure out what a
sidekiq job is stuck on.
This commit introduces a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site setting which
replaces the `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site setting.
The reason `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site settings are removed is because this feature has technically been
broken since it was introduced. When the `enable_s3_inventory` feature
is turned on, the app will because configure a daily inventory policy for the
`s3_upload_bucket` bucket and store the inventories under a prefix in
the bucket. The problem here is that once the inventories are created,
there is nothing cleaning up all these inventories so whoever that has
enabled this feature would have been paying the cost of storing a whole
bunch of inventory files which are never used. Given that we have not
received any complains about inventory files inflating S3 storage costs,
we think that it is very likely that this feature is no longer being
used and we are looking to drop support for this feature in the not too
distance future.
For now, we will still support a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site
setting which site administrators can configure via the
`DISCOURSE_S3_INVENTORY_BUCKET` env.

when I introduced the pluralisation for the
password.too_short message I didn't change the
key name to `count`, which is necessary.
This commit includes various UX improvements to the reset
password page:
* Introduce a `hide-application-header-buttons` helper to do the following:
* Hide Sign Up and Log In buttons, they are not necessary on this flow
* Hide the sidebar, it is a distraction on this flow
* Improve messaging when a 2FA confirmation is required first
* Improve display of server-side ActiveRecord model validation errors
in password form, e.g. instead of "is the same as your current password"
we do "The password is the same as your current password"
* Move password tip to next line below input and move caps lock hint
inline with Show/Hide password toggle
* Add system specs for 2FA flow on reset password page
* Fixes a computed property conflict issue on the password reset
page when toggling 2FA methods
Continued work on moderate flags UI.
In this PR admins are allowed to change the order of flags. The notify user flag is always on top but all other flags can be moved.
This makes it more obvious what's happening, and makes it much less likely that users will send repeated reset emails (and thereby hit the rate limit)

This commit adds the ability for site administrators to mark users'
passwords as expired. Note that this commit does not add any client side
interface to mark a user's password as expired.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Adds a `user_passwords` table and `UserPassword` model. While the
`user_passwords` table is currently used to only store expired
passwords, it will be used in the future to store a user's current
password as well.
2. Adds a `UserPasswordExpirer.expire_user_password` method which can
be used from the Rails console to mark a user's password as expired.
3. Updates `SessionsController#create` to check that the user's current
password has not been marked as expired after confirming the
password. If the password is determined to be expired based on the
existence of a `UserPassword` record with the `password_expired_at`
column set, we will not log the user in and will display a password
expired notice. A forgot password email is automatically send out to
the user as well.
This commit removes the `/admin-revamp` routes which were introduced as a part of an experiment to revamp the admin pages. We still want to improve the admin/staff experience, but we're going to do them within the existing `/admin` routes instead of introducing a completely new route.
Our initial efforts to improve the Discourse admin experience is this commit which introduces the foundation for a new subroute `/admin/config` which will house various new pages for configuring Discourse. The first new page (or "config area") will be `/admin/config/about` that will house all the settings and controls for configuring the `/about` page of Discourse.
Internal topic: t/128544
This commit introduces the following changes:
1. Introduce the `SignalTrapLogger` singleton which starts a single
thread that polls a queue to log messages with the specified logger.
This thread is necessary becasue most loggers cannot be used inside
the `Signal.trap` context as they rely on mutexes which are not
allowed within the context.
2. Moves the monkey patch in `freedom_patches/unicorn_http_server_patch.rb` to
`config/unicorn.config.rb` which is already monkey patching
`Unicorn::HttpServer`.
3. `Unicorn::HttpServer` will now automatically send a `USR2` signal to
a unicorn worker 2 seconds before the worker is timed out by the
Unicorn master.
4. When a Unicorn worker receives a `USR2` signal, it will now log only
the main thread's backtraces to `Rails.logger`. Previously, it was
`put`ing the backtraces to `STDOUT` which most people wouldn't read.
Logging it via `Rails.logger` will make the backtraces easily
accessible via `/logs`.
This commit re-introduces the "Move to Inbox" and "Move to Archive"
bulk topic actions, which we had in the old modal but had not yet added
to the new "experimental" dropdown, which isn't really experimental at
this point.
Once this is merged we can remove the old modal and only
rely on the new dropdown.
This adds a small indicator of the Ctrl+/ shortcut that
exists for the admin sidebar filter, since it's not very
obvious that you can do that. This should help people
who are struggling with the long list of links -- it's
much faster to use the keyboard and search for what
you are looking for.
This commit updates all Sidekiq signal handling event logs to go through
Unicorn's logger instead of logging to STDOUT. Going through a proper logger
means the log messages are logged in the format which the logger has configured.
This means we get proper timestamp for the log messages.
This commit updates various spots in `config/unicorn.conf.rb` which were
doing `STDERR.puts` to either use `server.logger` which is unicorn's
logger or `Rails.logger` which is Rails' logger. The reason we want to
do so is because `STDERR.puts` doesn't format the logs properly and is a
problem especially when custom loggers with structured formatting is
enabled.
This gives us daily fidelity of topic view stats
New table stores a row per topic viewed per day tracking
anonymous and logged on views
We also have a new endpoint `/t/ID/views-stats.json` to get the statistics for the topic.
This commit adds a `DISCOURSE_DUMP_BACKTRACES_ON_UNICORN_WORKER_TIMEOUT`
environment that will allow us to dump all backtraces for all threads of
a Unicorn worker 2 seconds before it times out. In development,
backtraces are dumped to `STDOUT` and in production we will dump it to
`unicorn.stdout.log`.
We want to dump all the backtraces to make it easier to identify the
cause of a Unicorn worker timing out.
* FIX: When creating new message via URL do not redirect
If a user clicks on `/new-message` route from inside the instance we're
redirecting the user to `/latest` page which is only intended if the
user is coming from an external site. This commit checks for this
condition and only redirects when user is coming from external source.
This also makes the behavior consistent with `new-topic` route.

We're planning to implement a feature that allows adding required fields for existing users. This PR does some preparatory refactoring to make that possible. There should be no changes to existing behaviour. Just a small update to the admin UI.
For plugins with only an "enabled" site setting, it doesn't
make sense to take them to the site settings page, since the
toggle switch in the list can be used to change enabled/disabled.
This will not be the case for plugins that have their own custom
config page (like Automation), but we will deal with this when
we actually overhaul this plugin to use the new show page.
Also adds another rspec fixture of a test plugin.
This PR introduces a basic AdminNotice model to store these notices. Admin notices are categorized by their source/type (currently only notices from problem check.) They also have a priority.
This PR aims to add bulk actions to the user's bookmarks.
After this feature, all users should be able to select multiple bookmarks and perform the actions of "deleting" or "clear reminders"
Instead of creating two separate Topics when a user (1) requests to join a group and (2) gets accepted in, this makes the acceptance message into a Post under the origin group request Topic.
(experimental)
The initial implementation of glimmer topic-list and related components. Does not include new APIs and isn't compatible with existing customization. That's gonna come in future PRs.
Enabled by adding groups to `experimental_glimmer_topic_list_groups` setting.
Using the CategoryDrop on the categories page redirected the user to the
"latest topics" page with topics only from that category. With these
changes, selecting a category will take the user to a "subcategories
page" where only the subcategories of the selected property will be
displayed.
This commit adds a different message to the users directory (`/u`) that's shown when there are no results for the search term instead of showing the one for when there are no users on the site yet.
Internal topic: t/126076.
Per https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/overview-google-crawlers
> GoogleOther is the generic crawler that may be used by various product teams for fetching publicly accessible content from sites. For example, it may be used for one-off crawls for internal research and development.
This commit will ensure it's served the crawler view, and included in crawler metrics
This commit changes request method for "categories/search" from GET to
POST to make sure that long filters can be passed to the server. For
example, category selectors with many categories are setting the full
list of selected category IDs to ensure these are filtered out from the
list of choices. This can result in a long URL that exceeds the maximum
length.
The watched word group's create, update and delete action logs were missing the translations. This PR will add those strings and will use the group key instead of watched word key where needed.
This commit switches `DiscourseIpInfo.mmdb_download` to use the
permalinks supplied by MaxMind to download the MaxMind databases as
specified in
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/updating-databases#directly-downloading-databases
which states:
```
To directly download databases, follow these steps:
1. In the "Download Links" column, click "Get Permalink(s)" for the desired database.
2. Copy the permalink(s) provided in the modal window.
3. Provide your account ID and your license key using Basic Authentication to authenticate.
```
Previously we are downloading from `https://download.maxmind.com/app/geoip_download` but this is not
documented anyway on MaxMind's docs so this URL can in theory break
in the future without warning. Therefore, we are taking a proactive
approach to download the databases from MaxMind the recommended way
instead of relying on a hidden URL. This old way of downloading the
databases with only a license key will be deprecated in 3.3 and be
removed in 3.4.
This keeps coming up in user testing as something
we want to get rid of. The `navigation_menu` setting
has been set to sidebar by default for some time now,
and we are rolling out admin sidebar widely. It just
doesn't make sense to let people turn this off in
the first step of the wizard -- we _want_ people to
use the sidebar.
At the moment, there is no way to create a group of related watched words together. If a user needed a set of words to be created together, they'll have to create them individually one at a time.
This change attempts to allow related watched words to be created as a group. The idea here is to have a list of words be tied together via a common `WatchedWordGroup` record. Given a list of words, a `WatchedWordGroup` record is created and assigned to each `WatchedWord` record. The existing WatchedWord creation behaviour remains largely unchanged.

This commit introduces a few changes as a result of
customer issues with finding why a topic was relisted.
In one case, if a user edited the OP of a topic that was
unlisted and hidden because of too many flags, the topic
would get relisted by directly changing topic.visible,
instead of going via TopicStatusUpdater.
To improve tracking we:
* Introduce a visibility_reason_id to topic which functions
in a similar way to hidden_reason_id on post, this column is
set from the various places we change topic visibility
* Fix Post#unhide! which was directly modifying topic.visible,
instead we use TopicStatusUpdater which sets visibility_reason_id
and also makes a small action post
* Show the reason topic visibility changed when hovering the
unlisted icon in topic status on topic titles
Our 'page_view_crawler' / 'page_view_anon' metrics are based purely on the User Agent sent by clients. This means that 'badly behaved' bots which are imitating real user agents are counted towards 'anon' page views.
This commit introduces a new method of tracking visitors. When an initial HTML request is made, we assume it is a 'non-browser' request (i.e. a bot). Then, once the JS application has booted, we notify the server to count it as a 'browser' request. This reliance on a JavaScript-capable browser matches up more closely to dedicated analytics systems like Google Analytics.
Existing data collection and graphs are unchanged. Data collected via the new technique is available in a new 'experimental' report.
Made another effort to improve the description of the personal_message_enabled _groups site setting, to clarify who can already create and reply to messages no matter which groups are specified in this setting.
This service-worker caching functionality was disabled by default in 1c58395bca, and the setting to re-enable was marked as experimental. Now we are dropping all the related logic.
- Run the CSP-nonce-related middlewares on the generated response
- Fix the readonly mode checking to avoid empty strings being passed (the `check_readonly_mode` before_action will not execute in the case of these re-dispatched exceptions)
- Move the BlockRequestsMiddleware cookie-setting to the middleware, so that it is included even for unusual HTML responses like these exceptions
This commit adds the most common AI bot crawlers seen
on our hosting (claudebot, gptbot, anthropic-ai, brightbot)
to our `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` and `crawler_user_agents`
site settings by default.
This means these AI bots will be rate limited by default instead
of site admins having to remember to do it for themselves.
LinkedIn has grandfathered its old OAuth2 provider. This can only be used by existing apps. New apps have to use the new OIDC provider.
This PR adds a linkedin_oidc provider to core. This will exist alongside the discourse-linkedin-auth plugin, which will be kept for those still using the deprecated provider.
When the user sees no results in their admin sidebar query,
we are adding two additional links:
* "Search site settings" - Navigates to the site settings page
with the filter prefilled in the search
* "Admin user list" - Navigates to the user list with the filter
prefilled in the username search
This will bridge the gap until we have a full admin-wide search.
Also make admin site setting search param refresh on filter changes

This commit ensures that additional keywords for admin
sidebar links (which are also stored in the admin sidebar state
manager) are translated with I18n, which was discussed
in https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-experimental-admin-sidebar-navigation/289281/58?u=martin
This also changes the admin sidebar state manager keywords to
not be a TrackedObject -- this is not necessary as keywords are
only set once, and it was causing rendering issues because
the keywords were being set at the same time they were read.
Finally this adds a "theme" keyword to the "Components" link
because we often refer to components as Theme Components

The bulk actions menu for topics has multiple options to work
with tags on topics (append, replace, remove). Our tagging system
along with categories allows for some complicated tag restrictions
to be applied via tag groups. This was a problem for the topic bulk
actions because you couldn't append restricted tags to topics.
This commit allows restricted tags to be used in bulk tagging actions
as long as all selected topics are for a sole category. The category
information will be shown in the modal, and the category ID is used
for the tag search.
This will automatically enable the glimmer header when all installed themes/plugins are ready. This replaces the old group-based site setting.
In 'auto' mode, we check for calls to deprecated APIs (e.g. decorateWidget) which affect the old header. If any are present, we stick to the old header implementation and print a message to the console alongside the normal deprecation messages.
To override this automatic behavior, a new `glimmer_header_mode` site setting can be set to 'disabled' or 'enabled'.
This change also means that our test suite is running with the glimmer header. This unveiled a couple of small issues (e.g. some incorrect `aria-*` and `alt` text) which are now fixed. A number of selectors had to be updated to ensure the tests were clicking the actual `<button>` elements rather than the surrounding `<li>` elements.
Display additional confirmation when:
- The public section is going to be updated;
- The public section is going to be deleted;
- The public section is going to be marked as private.
It's mostly fine to use the plural form instead of writing something like "topic(s)" when one or more topics could be meant, but the actual count is not known.
This also removes some unused strings from the locale files.
This commmit removes the unused `/u/:username/preferences/categories`
route which was merged into the `/u/:username/preferences/tracking`
route in 2fc2d7d828.
Adds the new quick menu for bookmarking. When you bookmark
a post (chat message behaviour will come later) we show this new quick
menu and bookmark the item straight away.
You can then choose a reminder quick option, or choose Custom... to open
the old modal. If you click on an existing bookmark, we show the same quick menu
but with Edit and Delete options.
A later PR will introduce a new bookmark modal, but for now we
are using the old modal for Edit and Custom... options.
To remove the Getting Started button manually, you have to disable bootstrap mode by setting bootstrap_mode_min_users to 0. I clarified this in the description for the setting.
- Add a "Skip tips" button to first notification tip
- Add a "Skip tips" button to the admin guide tip

- Fixes post menu tip showing when no "..." button is present
- Adds system tests

clicking outside, etc. won't show it again
- Change just above means we no longer need a MessageBus track
