To add a components link to the sidebar refactoring was required to create unique URLs for themes and components. Before the query param was used. After changes, we have two URLs `/admin/customize/themes` and `/admin/customize/components`.
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.
When a user is manually deactivated, they should not be deleted by our background job that purges inactive users.
In addition, site settings keywords should accept an array of keywords.
Currently, a new sidebar link for what's new and reports is going to the main dashboard page and activates the proper tab.
It might be problematic, especially, when the instance has a lot of problems. In that case, it would be difficult for admin to find reports or what’s new which is rendered at the bottom of the page.
Therefore separate pages for reports and what's new were created.
Reports were moved to a component that is shared between a separate page and the dashboard.
With the new admin sidebar restructure, we have a link to "Installed plugins". We would like to ensure that when the admin is searching for a plugin name like "akismet" or "automation" this link will be visible. Also when entering the plugins page, related plugins should be highlighted.
Before, the `back to forum` link was part of experimental admin navigation. It means that the link could be filtered out.
Because it is essential navigation, it should not be part of sidebar links and should be moved above the filter.
Currently, the trust level method is calculating trust level based on maximum value from:
- locked trust level
- group automatic trust level
- previously granted trust level by admin
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/trust_level.rb#L33
Let's say the user belongs to groups with automatic trust level 1 and in the meantime meets all criteria to get trust level 2.
Each time, a user is removed from a group with automatic trust_level 1, they will be downgraded to trust_level 1 and promoted to trust_level 2
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/120a2f70a9ea3b08a39fc1fbb251f59ecf968cde/lib/promotion.rb#L142
This will cause duplicated promotion messages.
Therefore, we have to check if the user meets the criteria, before downgrading.
In this PR, the admin panel remembers the previous state and restores it when the admin panel is deactivated.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/25781
However, it would be better to have a more generic solution. When the panel is changed, the previous state is saved in the sidebarState. When a user returns to the specific panel, a previously remembered state is restored.
Recently we changed the code to check permission in the backend. Example PR https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/25735
After those changes, `isInAnyGroups` and `userInAnyGroups` functions are not used anymore.
Affects the following settings:
delete_all_posts_and_topics_allowed_groups
experimental_new_new_view_groups
enable_experimental_admin_ui_groups
custom_summarization_allowed_groups
pm_tags_allowed_for_groups
chat_allowed_groups
direct_message_enabled_groups
chat_message_flag_allowed_groups
This turns off client: true for these group-based settings,
because there is no guarantee that the current user gets all
their group memberships serialized to the client. Better to check
server-side first.
`create topic allowed groups` site setting controls permission to create a new topic.
If a user cannot create a topic, a reply as a new topic button should not be visible as well.
In this PR we introduced the enabled/disabled components filter.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/25105
However, components are slightly more complicated and can be used/unused/enabled/disabled.
A bug that allowed TL1 to convert other's posts to wiki.
The issue was introduced in this PR: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24999/files
The wiki can be created if a user is TL3 and it is their own post - default 3 for setting `SiteSetting.min_trust_to_allow_self_wiki`
In addition, a wiki can be created by staff and TL4 users for any post.
Ability to automatically generate migration when site setting is changed from trust level to groups.
Example usage:
rails generate site_setting_move_to_groups_migration min_trust_to_create_topic create_topic_allowed_groups
Using min_trust_to_create_topic and create_topic_allowed_groups together was part of #24740
Now, when plugins specs are fixed, we can safely remove that part of logic.
This change converts the min_trust_to_create_topic site setting to
create_topic_allowed_groups.

Admin can add tag description up to 1000 characters.
Full description is displayed on tag page, however on topic list it is truncated to 80 characters.
Recently, we disabled the option to reorder links directly from the sidebar. Instead, user has to go to edit modal.
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/24188
However, move cursor was left, which is misleading.
Two changes were introduced:
1. Reorder links on sidebar section is removed. Clicking and holding the mouse for 250ms was unintuitive;
2. Fixed bugs when reorder is done in edit modal.
There is a case when developer would like to go to separated mode but not show switch panel buttons. We need additional functions to show/add buttons to support this case.
Bug when you click fast on the switch panel button. It is happening because we are not waiting for the transition to finish before update state.
In addition, unused currentPanel property was removed.
Edit community section button is hidden in secondary/more section. However, when there are no secondary links, then more section is not shown. In that case, we should still display an edit button for admins, so they can edit the section.
Change to drag move event handling. When position of mouse changed, we can assume it is not drag and drop, and we should keep default behaviour.
Otherwise, we stop propagation of the event to handle drag and drop correctly. s
New API to change sidebar mode. We defined two:
Separated - only sections belonging to specific panel are displayed, and buttons to switch the panel are available as well.
Combined - all sections are displayed together and switch panel buttons are not visible.
In addition, as a part of refactoring, a new service called SidebarState was introduced.
* FEATURE: allow sidebar section api to create external links
Right now, sidebar API allows creating sections with internal links. It should be extended to allow creating links to external URLs as well.
* FIX: after rebase
Define new concept of panels in sidebar. Panels are wrappers around sidebar sections. In the future, it allows creating full focus mode by switching between panels.
A new API method called addSidebarPanel was added. Default main panel is already registered and by default all API sections are mounted to main.
Simplified query based on SiteSettings to join only relevant user_options rows.
In addition, index was added to 'watched_precedence_over_muted` column in `user_options` table to speed up query
In previous PR https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22340 bug was introduced. Notifications were blocked when, even if topic was watched directly. New query is taking TopicUser into consideration.
In addition, in user interface, when `watched_precedence_over_muted` is not set, then value from SiteSetting should be displayed.
Recently, site setting watched_precedence_over_muted was introduced - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/22252
In this PR, we are allowing users to override it. The option is only displayed when the user has watched categories and muted tags, or vice versa.
Recently, SQL query returning users who have muted category or tag were introduced, and it is causing performance issues.
It is much more effective to first get IDs of users who have CategoryUser/TagUsers related to specific topic and then in second query get relevant users.
Before this change, links which required full reload because they are not in ember routes like `/my/preferences` or links to docs like `/pub/*` were treated as real external links. Therefore, they were opening in self window or new tab based on user `external_links_in_new_tab` setting.
To be consistent with behavior when full reload links are in the post, they are treated as internal and always open in the same window.
Recently, we added the option for watched tag/categories to take precedence over muted tag/categories. Therefore, `remove_muted_tags` is using `category_users` to check if categories are not watched. There was missing join in CategoryList which was causing an error.
New setting which allow admin to define behavior when topic is in watched category and muted topic and vice versa.
If watched_precedence_over_muted setting is true, that topic is still visible in list of topics and notification is created.
If watched_precedence_over_muted setting is false, that topic is not still visible in list of topics and notification is skipped as well.
There is a problem that unread and new count is not updated to reflecting topicTrackingState.
It is because discourseComputed on Category is not working properly with topicTrackingState. Moving it to component level is making counter reliable.
1. `everything` was changed to `topics`
2. Path for my posts translation is `sidebar.sections.community.links.my_posts.content` not `sidebar.sections.community.links.my/posts.content`
Communities can use sidebar or header dropdown, therefore navigation menu is a better name settings in 2 places:
- Old user sidebar preferences;
- Site setting about default tags and categories.
Display modal for combined new and unread view with options:
- [x] Dismiss new topics
- [x] Dismiss new posts
- [ ] Stop tracking these topics so they stop appearing in my new list
Before, the review button was shown in `primary section` when there were items to review. Otherwise, it was hidden in `more section`.
Because we are allowing admins to customize community section and reorder link, it makes sense to simplify that logic and review link should follow admin's decision.
Allow admins to edit Community section. This includes drag and drop reorder, change names, delete and reset to default.
Visual improvements introduced in edit community section modal are available in edit custom section form as well. For example:
- drag and drop links to change their position;
- smaller icon picker.
Change mechanism handling `more` button for sidebar.
Before it was using HTML details tag.
To make tests more reliable, we are switching to use ember runloop.
* DEV: move sidebar community section to database
Before, community section was hard-coded. In the future, we are planning to allow admins to edit it. Therefore, it has to be moved to database to `custom_sections` table.
Few steps and simplifications has to be made:
- custom section was hidden behind `enable_custom_sidebar_sections` feature flag. It has to be deleted so all forums, see community section;
- migration to add `section_type` column to sidebar section to show it is a special type;
- migration to add `segment` column to sidebar links to determine if link should be displayed in primary section or in more section;
- simplify more section to have one level only (secondary section links are merged);
- ensure that links like `everything` are correctly tracking state;
- make user an anonymous links position consistence. For example, from now on `faq` link for user and anonymous is visible in more tab;
- delete old community-section template.
