Original PR was reverted because of broken migration https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/12058
I fixed it by adding this line
```
AND topics.id IN(SELECT id FROM topics ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT :max_new_topics)
```
This time it is left joining a limited amount of topics. I tested it on few databases and it worked quite smooth
Follow up https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/11968
Dismiss all new topics using the same DismissTopicService. In addition, MessageBus receives exact topic ids which should be marked as `seen`.
* FEATURE: Ability to dismiss new topics in a specific tag
Follow up of https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/11927
Using the same mechanism to disable new topics in a tag.
* FIX: respect when category and tag is selected
This is a try to simplify logic around dismiss new topics to have one solution to work in all places - dismiss all-new, dismiss new in a specific category or even in a specific tag.
* 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.
PostDestroyer should accept the option to permanently destroy post from the database. In addition, when the first post is destroyed it destroys the whole topic.
Currently, that feature is limited to private messages and creator of the post. It will be used by discourse-encrypt to explode encrypted private messages.
We previously did not account for completely untagged topics when
looking at muted tags, this caused new/unread counts to be off if
1. You had muted tags
2. You had an unread/new topic
3. This topic had no tags
This feature allows certain plugins to output tag information
to topic tracking state, this allows per tag stats which can be
used by sidebars and other plugins that need per tag stats
Not enabled by default cause this would add cost to a critical
query
Recently, we added feature that we are sending `/muted` to users who muted specific topic just before `/latest` so the client knows to ignore those messages - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/9482
Same `/muted` message should be included when the post is edited
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
```

* FEATURE: don't display new/unread notification for muted topics
Currently, even if user mute topic, when a new reply to that topic arrives, the user will get "See 1 new or updated topic" message. After clicking on that link, nothing is visible (because the topic is muted)
To solve that problem, we will send background message to all users who recently muted that topic that update is coming and they can ignore the next message about that topic.
6e1fe22 introduced the possiblity for category_users to have a NULL notification_level, so that we can store `last_seen_at` dates without locking the notification level. At the time, this did not affect the topic-tracking-state query. However, the query changes in f434de2 introduced a slight change in behavior.
Previously, a subquery would look for a category_user with notification_level=mute. f434de2 refactored this to remove the subquery, and inverted some of the logic to suit.
The new query checked for `notification_level <> :muted`. If `notification_level` is NULL, this comparison will return NULL. In this scenario, notification_level=NULL means that we should fall back to the default tracking level (regular), and so we want the expression to resolve as true, not false. There was already a check for the existence of the category_users row, but it did not check for the existence of a NOT NULL notification_level.
This commit amends the expression so that the notification_level will only be compared if it is non-null.
When the tag is muted and topic contains that tag, we should not mark that message as NEW.
There are 3 possible settings which site admin can set.
remove_muted_tags_from_latest - always
It means that if the topic got at least one muted tag, we should not mark that topic as NEW
remove_muted_tags_from_latest - only muted
Similar to above, however, if at least one tag is not muted, the topic is marked as NEW
remove_muted_tags_from_latest - never
Basically, mute tag setting is ignored and all topics are set as NEW
When category is dismissed, `dismiss_new` message is sent to fronted to clean state.
In addition, I noticed that when old dismiss new button is clicked, no message is sent so I decided to kill two birds with one stone.
* The read indicator now shows up when no member has read the last post of the topic (written by a non-member)
* The read indicator works on mobile and receives live updates from message bus
* The icon we display in the topic list was changed
* Added a title to the indicator to indicate its purpose when hovering over it
* Revert "Revert "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989) [Undo revert] (#8024)""
This reverts commit 36425eb9f04cfac7201632d648050cb43a035bc1.
* Fix: Show who read only if the attribute is enabled
* PERF: Precalculate the last post readed by a group member
* Use book-reader icon instear of far-eye
* FIX: update topic groups correctly
* DEV: Tidy up read indicator update on write
* Reenable: "FEATURE: Publish read state on group messages. (#7989)"
This reverts commit 67f5cc1ce8da8d6301db0ab6ebcd6fc497f28455.
* FIX: Read indicator only appears when the group setting is enabled
* Enable or disable read state based on group attribute
* When read state needs to be published, the minimum unread count is calculated in the topic query. This way, we can know if someone reads the last post
* The option can be enabled/disabled from the UI
* The read indicator will live-updated using message bus
* Show read indicator on every post
* The read indicator now shows read count and can be expanded to see user avatars
* Read count gets updated everytime someone reads a message
* Simplify topic-list read indicator logic
* Unsubscribe from message bus on willDestroyElement, removed unnecesarry values from post-menu, and added a comment to explain where does minimum_unread_count comes from
restructure query so it avoids ORs
It appears postgres is picking suboptimal indexes if too many ORs exist
despite how trivial the condition is.
This bypasses conditional in the query and evals them upfront.
On meta for my user this made a 10x perf difference.
This boils down to either having `OR u.admin` or not having `OR u.admin` in
the query.
This optimisation avoids large scans joining the topics table with the
topic_users table.
Previously when a user carried a lot of read state we would have to join
the entire read state with the topics table. This operation would slow down
home page and every topic page. The more read state you accumulated the
larger the impact.
The optimisation helps people who clean up unread, however if you carry
unread from years ago it will only have minimal impact.
