Before, whispers were only available for staff members.
Config has been changed to allow to configure privileged groups with access to whispers. Post migration was added to move from the old setting into the new one.
I considered having a boolean column `whisperer` on user model similar to `admin/moderator` for performance reason. Finally, I decided to keep looking for groups as queries are only done for current user and didn't notice any N+1 queries.
The query is very inefficient without any constraints on large sites and
the average of all time to first response since the beginning of time is
not useful as well.
We were calling `dup` on the hash and using that to check for changes. However, we were not duplicating the values, so changes to arrays or nested hashes would not be detected.
Discourse has the Discourse Connect Provider protocol that makes it possible to
use a Discourse instance as an identity provider for external sites. As a
natural extension to this protocol, this PR adds a new feature that makes it
possible to use Discourse as a 2FA provider as well as an identity provider.
The rationale for this change is that it's very difficult to implement 2FA
support in a website and if you have multiple websites that need to have 2FA,
it's unrealistic to build and maintain a separate 2FA implementation for each
one. But with this change, you can piggyback on Discourse to take care of all
the 2FA details for you for as many sites as you wish.
To use Discourse as a 2FA provider, you'll need to follow this guide:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/32974. It walks you through what you need to
implement on your end/site and how to configure your Discourse instance. Once
you're done, there is only one additional thing you need to do which is to
include `require_2fa=true` in the payload that you send to Discourse.
When Discourse sees `require_2fa=true`, it'll prompt the user to confirm their
2FA using whatever methods they've enabled (TOTP or security keys), and once
they confirm they'll be redirected back to the return URL you've configured and
the payload will contain `confirmed_2fa=true`. If the user has no 2FA methods
enabled however, the payload will not contain `confirmed_2fa`, but it will
contain `no_2fa_methods=true`.
You'll need to be careful to re-run all the security checks and ensure the user
can still access the resource on your site after they return from Discourse.
This is very important because there's nothing that guarantees the user that
will come back from Discourse after they confirm 2FA is the same user that
you've redirected to Discourse.
Internal ticket: t62183.
Previously cached counting made redis calls in main thread and performed
the flush in main thread.
This could lead to pathological states in extreme heavy load.
This refactor reduces load and cleans up the interface
Previously we were calling `EXPIRE` every time we incremented a given key. Instead, we can call EXPIRE once when the key is first populated. A LUA script is used to make this as efficient as possible.
Consumers of this Concern use daily keys. Since we're now calling EXPIRE only at the beginning of the day, rather than throughout the day, the expire time has been increased from 3 to 4 days.
If a model class calls preload_custom_fields twice then
we have to clear this otherwise the fields are cached inside the
already existing proxy and no new ones are added, so when we check
for custom_fields[KEY] an error is likely to occur
This commit makes a more specific N1NotPreLoadedError from
StandardError to raise when a custom field is loaded before
being preloaded, so it is easier to test that this does
not happen from plugins. Also adds the name of the class
trying to load the custom field to the error message.
* DEV: Sanitize HTML admin inputs
This PR adds on-save HTML sanitization for:
Client site settings
translation overrides
badges descriptions
user fields descriptions
I used Rails's SafeListSanitizer, which [accepts the following HTML tags and attributes](018cf54073/lib/rails/html/sanitizer.rb (L108))
* Make sure that the sanitization logic doesn't corrupt settings with special characters
We want to put the name of the trust level in to generated URLs, not the human-readable form.
i.e.:
`/admin/users/list/newuser`
rather than:
`/admin/users/list/new user`
Refactors `TrustLevel` and moves translations from server to client
Additional changes:
* "staff" and "admin" wasn't translatable in site settings
* it replaces a concatenated string with a translation
* uses translation for trust levels in users_by_trust_level report
* adds a DB migration to rename keys of translation overrides affected by this commit
Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
* DEV: Remove with_deleted workarounds for old Rails version
These workarounds using private APIs are no longer required in the latest version of Rails. The referenced issue (https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/4306) was closed in 2013. The acts_as_paranoid workaround which this was based on was removed for rails > 5.
Switching to using a scope also allows us to use it within a `belongs_to` relation (e.g. in the Poll model). This avoids issues which can be caused by unscoping all `where` clauses.
Predicates are not necessarily strings, so calling `.join(" AND ")` can sometimes cause weird errors. If we use `WhereClause#ast`, and then `.to_sql` we achieve the same thing with fully public APIs, and it will work successfully for all predicates.
* FEATURE: set notification levels when added to a group
This feature allows admins and group owners to define default
category and tag tracking levels that will be applied to user
preferences automatically at the time when users are added to the
group. Users are free to change those preferences afterwards.
When removed from a group, the user's notification preferences aren't
changed.
* FIX: Improve category hashtag lookup
This commit improves support for sub-sub-categories and does not include
the ID of the category in the slug, which fixes the composer preview.
* FIX: Sub-sub-categories can be mentioned using only two levels
* FIX: Remove support for three-level hashtags
* DEV: Simplify code
We have the `# frozen_string_literal: true` comment on all our
files. This means all string literals are frozen. There is no need
to call #freeze on any literals.
For files with `# frozen_string_literal: true`
```
puts %w{a b}[0].frozen?
=> true
puts "hi".frozen?
=> true
puts "a #{1} b".frozen?
=> true
puts ("a " + "b").frozen?
=> false
puts (-("a " + "b")).frozen?
=> true
```

This is because the TOTP gem identifies as a colon as an addressable
protocol. The solution for now is to remove the colon in the issuer
name.
Changing the issuer changes the token values, but now it was completely
broken for colons so this should not be breaking anyone new.
This fix ensures that the site setting `post_edit_time_limit` does not
bypass the limit of the site setting `min_trust_to_edit_post`. This
prevents a bug where users that did not meet the minimum trust level to
edit could edit the title of topics.
The ROTP gem is only used in a very small amount of places in the app, we don't need to globally require it.
Also set the Addressable gem to not have a specific version range, as it has not been a problem yet.
Some slight refactoring of UserSecondFactor here too to use SecondFactorManager to avoid code repetition
The following methods have long been deprecated in ruby due to flaws in their implementation per http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb/ruby/ruby-core/29293?29179-31097:
URI.escape
URI.unescape
URI.encode
URI.unencode
escape/encode are just aliases for one another. This PR uses the Addressable gem to replace these methods with its own encode, unencode, and encode_component methods where appropriate.
I have put all references to Addressable::URI here into the UrlHelper to keep them corralled in one place to make changes to this implementation easier.
Addressable is now also an explicit gem dependency.
