For the admin plugin list we want to be able to link to
a meta topic for plugins, but we have no standard way to
do this at the moment. This adds support for meta_topic_id
alongside other plugin metadata like authors, URL etc,
that gets built into a Meta topic URL in the serializer.
This plugin is no longer supported, and so we no longer need to run its tests in CI
(removing the comment and the 'Canned Replies' value from the array caused syntax_tree to change to the `%w` syntax)
- Move the old '`define_include_method`' arg to a `respect_plugin_enabled` kwarg
- Introduce an `include_condition` kwarg which can be passed a lambda with inclusion logic. Lambda will be run via `instance_exec` in the context of the serializer instance
This is backwards compatible - old-style invocations will trigger a deprecation message

Update chat and poll plugins to new pattern
Introduces a new API for plugin data modification without class-based extension overhead.
This commit introduces a new API that allows plugins to modify data in cases where they return different data rather than additional data, as is common with filtered_registers in DiscoursePluginRegistry. This API removes the need for defining class-based extension points.
When a plugin registers a modifier, it will automatically be called if the plugin is enabled. The core will then modify the parameter sent to it using the block registered by the plugin:
```ruby
DiscoursePluginRegistry.register_modifier(plugin_instance, :magic_sum_modifier) { |a, b| a + b }
sum = DiscoursePluginRegistry.apply_modifier(:magic_sum_filter, 1, 2)
expect(sum).to eq(3)
```
Key features of these modifiers:
- Operate in a stack (first registered, first called)
- Automatically disabled when the plugin is disabled
- Pass the cumulative result of all block invocations to the caller
Follow up to 098ab29d4150a5a39880d59ef6cad5f6795a18fd. Since
we just used a `cattr_reader` on `About` this was not safe
for multisite, since some sites could have the chat plugin
enabled and some may not. Using `DiscoursePluginRegistry` gets
around this issue, and makes it so the chat stats only show
for a site if `chat_enabled` is true.
The guardian is useful for plugins to determine if the callback should
do anything. A common use case is to not do anything in the callback if
the user is anonymous.
This commit introduce a new API for registering callbacks, which we'll execute when a user gets destroyed, and the `delete_posts` opt is true. The chat plugin registers one callback and queues a job to destroy every message from that user in batches.
This commit introduces a new plugin API to register
a group of stats that will be included in about.json
and also conditionally in the site about UI at /about.
The usage is like this:
```ruby
register_about_stat_group("chat_messages", show_in_ui: true) do
{
last_day: 1,
"7_days" => 10,
"30_days" => 100,
count: 1000,
previous_30_days: 120
}
end
```
In reality the stats will be generated any way the implementer
chooses within the plugin. The `last_day`, `7_days`, `30_days,` and `count`
keys must be present but apart from that additional stats may be added.
Only those core 4 stat keys will be shown in the UI, but everything will be shown
in about.json.
The stat group name is used to prefix the stats in about.json like so:
```json
"chat_messages_last_day": 2322,
"chat_messages_7_days": 2322,
"chat_messages_30_days": 2322,
"chat_messages_count": 2322,
```
The `show_in_ui` option (default false) is used to determine whether the
group of stats is shown on the site About page in the Site Statistics
table. Some stats may be needed purely for reporting purposes and thus
do not need to be shown in the UI to admins/users. An extension to the Site
serializer, `displayed_about_plugin_stat_groups`, has been added so this
can be inspected on the client-side.
It's very easy to forget to add `require 'rails_helper'` at the top of every core/plugin spec file, and omissions can cause some very confusing/sporadic errors.
By setting this flag in `.rspec`, we can remove the need for `require 'rails_helper'` entirely.
