The `notifications.id` has been migrated to bigint in previous commit
799a45a291. This commit migrates one of
the related columns, `user_badges.notification_id`, to `bigint`.
Follow-up to e3ae57ea7a
The previous commit added an `after_create` callback that triggers a refresh for the user directory whenever a `User` record is created. Theoretically, this approach should work, however, there's a gotcha in practice, because during a real user registration, when the `User` record is created in the database, it's not marked as active until the user verifies their email address and the user directory excludes inactive users, so the initial directory refresh triggered by the `after_create` callback becomes pointless.
To make a new user appear in the user directory immediately after sign up, we need to trigger a refresh via an `after_save` callback when they verify their email address and become active.
Prior this fix a topic created in the future could generate this exception:
```
Job exception: ERROR: a negative number raised to a non-integer power yields a complex result
```
This fix and spec should ensure we don't consider topics in the future as the rest of the `update_scores` function is doing at other places.
This check was checking the wrong scope, causing problems in certain edge conditions, for example:
1. Admin adds an "on signup" field that isn't editable after signup.
2. Admin adds a "for all users" field.
3. User goes and fills up the "for all users" field from 2.
4. User is now stuck on the required fields page without any fields showing.
With this change, we only consider "for all users" fields when asking if required custom fields are filled in.
The `notifications.id` column is the most probable column to run out of
values. This is because it is an `int` column that has only 2147483647
values and many notifications are generated on a regular basis in an
active community. This commit migrates the column to `bigint`.
These migrations do not use `ALTER TABLE ... COLUMN ... TYPE` in order
to avoid the `ACCESS EXCLUSIVE` lock on the entire table. Instead, they
create a new `bigint` column, copy the values to the new column and
then sets the new column as primary key.
Related columns (see `user_badges`, `shelved_notifications`) will
be migrated in a follow-up commit.

The change introduced above made it so the expired
bookmark reminders were cleared when using the bulk
action menu for bookmarks. However this also affected
clearing reminders for bookmarks when sending notifications.
When clearing bookmark reminders after sending notifications,
we take into account the auto delete preference:
* never - The bookmark `reminder_at` date should not be cleared,
and the bookmark is kept.
* clear_reminder - The bookmark `reminder_at` date is cleared and
the bookmark is kept
The `never` option made it so "expired" bookmark reminder show
on the user's bookmark list.
This commit fixes the change from the other commit and only
forces clearing of `reminder_at` if using the bookmark bulk
action service.
This commit moves the business logic in the `Admin::UsersController#suspend` and `Admin::UsersController#silence` actions to dedicated service classes. There's no functional changes in this commit.

This commit implements 2 new metrics/stats in the /about page for the _estimated_ numbers of unique visitors from the EU and the rest of the world. This new feature is currently off by default, but it can be enabled by turning on the hidden `display_eu_visitor_stats` site settings via the rails console.
There are a number of assumptions that we're making here in order to estimate the number of unique visitors, specifically:
1. we're assuming that the average of page views per anonymous visitor is similar to the average number of page views that a logged-in visitor makes, and
2. we're assuming that the ratio of logged in visitors from the EU is similar to the ratio of anonymous visitors from the EU
Discourse keeps track of the number of both logged-in and anonymous page views, and also the number of unique logged-in visitors and where they're from. So with those numbers and the assumptions above, we can estimate the number of unique anonymous visitors from the EU and the rest of the world.

We need a way to disable certain checks programatically, e.g. on Discourse hosting. This PR adds a configuration option for this, and makes it so that disabled checks aren't run as part of #run_all.
This commit fixes a bug where the silence button is incorrectly displayed on the admin page of a staff user. It's not actually possible to silence a staff user because the backend correctly prevents it, but the frontend isn't checking if the button should be displayed.
Another small bug that this commit fixes is the similar users list not showing up inside the silence/suspend modals due to also a bug in the frontend.
I've also changed the way similar users are loaded so that they're not returned by the `admin/users#show` endpoint anymore and moved them into a new endpoint that the penalize modals (suspend and silence) can call directly to retrieve the list of users. This is done because the similar users list is never shown on the admin user page (`/admin/users/:user_id/:username`); they're only needed when the suspend or silence modals are opened.

### Why?
Before, all flags were static. Therefore, they were stored in class variables and serialized by SiteSerializer. Recently, we added an option for admins to add their own flags or disable existing flags. Therefore, the class variable had to be dropped because it was unsafe for a multisite environment. However, it started causing performance problems.
### Solution
When a new Flag system is used, instead of using PostActionType, we can serialize Flags and use fragment cache for performance reasons.
At the same time, we are still supporting deprecated `replace_flags` API call. When it is used, we fall back to the old solution and the admin cannot add custom flags. In a couple of months, we will be able to drop that API function and clean that code properly. However, because it may still be used, redis cache was introduced to improve performance.
To test backward compatibility you can add this code to any plugin
```ruby
replace_flags do |flag_settings|
flag_settings.add(
4,
:inappropriate,
topic_type: true,
notify_type: true,
auto_action_type: true,
)
flag_settings.add(1001, :trolling, topic_type: true, notify_type: true, auto_action_type: true)
end
```

Adds a new statistics (hidden from the UI, but available via the API) that tracks daily participating users.
A user is considered as "participating" if they have
- Reacted to a post
- Replied to a topic
- Created a new topic
- Created a new PM
- Sent a chat message
- Reacted to a chat message

Currently to handle stub topics after merging, there are only options to (1) never delete a stub topic and (2) delete a stub topic after X amount of days. This adds the option to immediately delete a stub topic upon merge.

This commit continues on work laid out by 6039b513fe to redesign the /about page. In this commit, we add the site age and a section on the right hand side to show site activities/statistics such as topics, posts, sign-ups, likes etc.
Following a recent refactor, some methods from `FlagSettings` have been
renamed (`custom_types` -> `additional_message_types`). The
`PostActionType` model was using `custom_types` but when the renaming
was done, it was renamed to `with_additional_message` instead of
`additional_message_types`, which under the right circumstances will
raise an error.
Admin can create up to 50 custom flags. It is limited for performance reasons.
When the limit is reached "Add button" is disabled and backend is protected by guardian.
We support a low-level construct called "inline checks", which you can use to register a problem ad-hoc from within application code.
Problems registered by inline checks never show up in the admin dashboard, this is because when loading the dashboard, we run all realtime checks and look for problems. Because of an oversight, we considered inline checks to be "realtime", causing them to be run and clear their problem status.
To fix this, we don't consider inline checks to be realtime, to prevent them from running when loading the admin dashboard.
When creating a shared draft, we're recording topic view stats on the draft and then pass those on when the draft is published, conflating the actual view count.
This fixes that by not registering topic views if the topic is a shared draft.
When `SiteSetting.review_every_post` is true and the category `require_topic_approval` system creates two reviewable items.
1. Firstly, because the category needs approval, the `ReviewableQueuePost` record` is created - at this stage, no topic is created.
2. Admin is approving the review. The topic and first post are created.
3. Because `review_every_post` is true `queue_for_review_if_possible` callback is evaluated and `ReviewablePost` is created.
4. Then `ReviewableQueuePost` is linked to the newly generated topic and post.
At the beginning, we were thinking about hooking to those guards:
```
def self.queue_for_review_if_possible(post, created_or_edited_by)
return unless SiteSetting.review_every_post
return if post.post_type != Post.types[:regular] || post.topic.private_message?
return if Reviewable.pending.where(target: post).exists?
...
```
And add something like
```
return if Reviewable.approved.where(target: post).exists?
```
However, because the callback happens in point 3. before the `ReviewableQueuePost` is linked to the `Topic`, it was not possible.
Therefore, when `ReviewableQueuePost` is creating a `Topic`, a new option called `:reviewed_queued_post` is passed to `PostCreator` to avoid creating a second `Reviewable`.

* FIX: Ensure JsLocaleHelper to obly outputs up-to-date translations
The old implementation forgot to filter out deprecated
translations, causing these translations to incorrectly override the new
locale in the frontend.
This commit fills in the forgotten where clause, filtering only the
up-to-date part.
Related meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/outdated-translation-replacement-causing-missing-translation/314352
Currently, when adding translation overrides, values aren’t validated
for MF strings. This results in being able to add invalid plural keys or
even strings containing invalid syntax.
This patch addresses this issue by compiling the string when saving an
override if the key is detected as an MF one.
If there’s an error from the compiler, it’s added to the model errors,
which in turn is displayed to the user in the admin UI, helping them to
understand what went wrong.
* FIX: Add post id to the anchor to prevent two identical anchors
We generate anchors for headings in posts. This works fine if there is
only one post in a topic with anchors. The problem comes when you have
two or more posts with the same heading. PrettyText generates anchors
based on the heading text using the raw context of each post, so it is
entirely possible to generate the same anchor for two posts in the same
topic, especially for topics with template replies
Post1:
# heading
context
Post2:
# heading
context
When both posts are on the page at the same time, the anchor will only
work for the first post, according to the [HTML specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsing-the-web.html#scroll-to-the-fragment-identifier).
> If there is an a element in the document tree whose root is document
> that has a name attribute whose value is equal to fragment, then
> return the *first* such element in tree order.
This bug is particularly serious in forums with non-Latin languages,
such as Chinese. We do not generate slugs for Chinese, which results in
the heading anchors being completely dependent on their order.
```ruby
[2] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文")
=> "<h1><a name=\"h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
Therefore, the anchors in the two posts must be in exactly the same by
order, causing almost all of the anchors in the second post to be
invalid.
This commit solves this problem by adding the `post_id` to the anchor.
The new anchor generation method will add `p-{post_id}` as a prefix when
post_id is available:
```ruby
[3] pry(main)> PrettyText.cook("# 中文", post_id: 1234)
=> "<h1><a name=\"p-1234-h-1\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#p-1234-h-1\"></a>中文</h1>"
```
This way we can ensure that each anchor name only appears once on the
same topic. Using post id also prevents the potential possibility of the
same anchor name when splitting/merging topics.
Previously in these 2 PRs, we introduced a new site setting `SiteSetting.enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27547https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/27674
When disabled, it should enforce 2FA for local login with username and password and skip the requirement when authenticating with oauth2.
We stored information about the login method in a secure session but it is not reliable. Therefore, information about the login method is moved to the database.
* FEATURE: Clean up previously logged information after permanently deleting posts
When soft deleteing a topic or post, we will log some details in the
staff log, including the raw content of the post. Before this commit, we
will not clear the information in these records. Therefore, after
permanently deleting the post, `UserHistory` still retains copy of the
permanently deleted post. This is an unexpected behaviour and may raise
some potential legal issues.
This commit adds a behavior that when a post is permanently deleted, the
details column of the `UserHistory` associated with the post will be
overwritten to "(permanently deleted)". At the same time, for permanent
deletion, a new `action_id` is introduced to distinguish it from soft
deletion.

This commit introduces the foundation for a new design for the /about page that we're currently working on. The current version will remain available and still be the default until we finish the new version and are ready to roll out. To opt into the new version right now, add one or more group to the `experimental_redesigned_about_page_groups` site setting and members in those groups will get the new version.

* FEATURE: Add logging for CustomEmoji
We didn't provide any logs for CustomEmoji before, nor did we record the
person who added any emoji in the database. As a result, the staff had
no way to trace back who added a certain emoji.
This commit adds a new column `user_id` to `custom_emojis` to record the
creator of an emoji. At the same time, a log is added for staff logs to
record who added or deleted a custom emoji.
