We're soon gonna have user circles in four different places,
and the fourth place, Private Messages, will have different
size/position CSS.
Now each component does positioning and sizing in its
main CSS file:
user info, group info -- popovers.scss
buddy list, group PMs -- right-sidebar.scss
(We also use the more explicit syntax for padding each
side.)
We now have a function get_user_circle_class
that returns one of these values:
"user_circle_green"
"user_circle_orange"
"user_circle_empty"
And we put that in the templates.
And then CSS renders the circle of the appropriate
color.
The unit tests now explicitly capture whether
we are rendering the correct kind of circle.
This is a pure code move.
We want to use user circles in the left sidebar,
so this code will no longer belong in
right-sidebar.scss.
This code is just related to drawing the circles.
We can still position in size in other CSS files
(with more context-specific selectors).
This fixes a longstanding UI issue when you have way too many recent
private message conversations, as you can now scroll down the list to
find what you're looking for.
Fixes#5384.
Date separator exists inside the message_row, which causes the
message controls to be visible even when hovering on date
separator. These two rules are redundant and cause this buggy
action. Other rules handle the behaviour of message controls
being visible on message box hover. Hence these can be removed.
Previously, if you scrolled down all the way in the left sidebar, and kept
your mouse hovered over a link, you had a feeling that there was still "more
stuff", since you could see the top of "Back to Zulip" peeking out over the
top of the URL Chrome (and maybe some other browsers) add in the bottom left
corner.
This just adds a bit of margin so that "Back to Zulip" is above that when
scrolled all the way down.
The function that was called here has no side
effects. If you don't use its value, it's just
wasted computation. The real action happens
in the subsequent calls to `rebuild_recent`.
Having it say "Clear" when you delete an existing status was a nice touch,
but it's confusing when you first open the modal and the text of the button
says "Clear".
I think the right medium-term solution here is for this modal to have "Save"
and "Cancel" buttons, and for there to be a small UI element in the user
popover itself that allows you to clear your current status.
We now use `fix_positions` to avoid cropping the emoji
picker. You can see cropping pretty easily on a short
screen if you click the smiley icon for reactions on a
message. It's a bit tricky to repro, since some
of the current top/bottom placements are correct, but
it's definitely reproducible.
I think there are opportunities to both simplify
and optimize `popovers.compute_placement`, so that it
plays nicer with `fix_positions`. For example, I would
bias it even more strongly toward favoring right/left
placement. But there are complicating factors--it is
also used by the hotspot code.
And I wanted to especially preserve the current
behavior when you launch the picker from the compose
box. That's one place where it looks pretty bad if
you select "right" instead of "bottom".
The fix_positions argument here fixes the horizontal
position of the stream popover.
It also fixes the vertical position, both in the default case, and
also doing an appropriate adjustment for the case that the color
picker is open.
This contains a few changes by tabbott to, rather than hiding the
arrow unconditionally, only do so when it would no longer point at the
right part of the screen.
Fixes#2374.
Fixes#6059.
Fixes#7290.
We use the `fix_positions` options every time
we launch a user popover, whether it is from
the message pane avatar or the buddy list
chevron.
For the message pane case, we can eliminate
some complexity related to trying to put
the menu above or below the avatar. We now
always suggest "right", and if there are
constraints due to being close to the edge
of the screen, the fix_positions code
will take care of it.
The patch to bootstrap will make the position smarter, but we still
want to preserve the 100px default vertical offset we chose for visual
reasons.
Tweaked by tabbott to preserve the visual design.
Changed <h5> to <p>, and removed the special formatting of
.empty_search_text to make this more in line with the formatting we
generally use with empty narrows.
This removes the left border extending the stream label from the
recipient bar in from the drafts in drafts modal. Those borders are
important in the message feed for containing several messages, but
here we're only ever going to show individual drafts, and this change
avoids potential color clashes with the blue box surrounding the
recipient blocks.
This removes the change in background to a darker one for active draft,
also removes the change in recipient_row_date color to blue; adds a blue
border around the draft box.
Since the bootstrap popovers are destroyed asynchronously so opening a
emoji popover in quick succession like by clicking the reaction button
on another message was causing a race condition which was causing some
operations to be applied on a destroyed emoji popover. This commit
fixes it by making sure to apply any operations only to the currently
active popover.
Fixes: #9851.
I'm torn about this, since there is good content here. But ultimately I think
* This page is a lot of work to write and maintain.
* In most cases, the right thing is for people to find the page that
explains the full feature. E.g. if you don't know what an "administrator"
is, the page I hope you find is "Roles and Permissions". For bots, it's
"Bots and Integrations". Writing a punchy short summary for a glossary
that does better than that is possible, but not fast.
* People find things via search, e.g. by Googling "What is X in Zulip",
rather than looking for a glossary.
* This page was written more than 3 years ago, before we had 100+ help
articles. So it may have served a purpose in the past that no longer
exists.
Adds three helper functions - `row_with_focus`, `row_before_focus` and
`row_after_focus` to get the focused, previous and next to focused
draft rows respectively.
`delete_id` in `drafts.js` referred to the next draft row which was
to be focused when deleting using hot keys. The var name was absurd
and is hence renamed.
Adds a `remove_draft` function which deletes the draft and updates the ui
by removing it from the list of drafts.
Also adds comments to increase readability.
Show "sent to different narrow" notification and other such notification by
notifications.notify_local_mixes for non locally echoed message sent by
current client.
With significant new comments added by tabbott.
Fixes: #11488.
Previously, this was only available in the Zulip development
environment.
Further work is needed on documenting this and how to use it for
managing work to follow up on.
The width of the messages div is set to 600px, while the
digest-email-container can be 500px at the most. Increasing the width
of the digest-email-container makes the /digest slightly more
readable.
The padding changes move the number a bit to the right and down, towards
where the bottom right corner of an unread count box would have been. This
makes the number look better aligned with the unread count boxes above it.
We swallow the error if our python_to_js_filter code is
unable to parse some python regex properly. This ensures
that the web app stays responsive.
We would fail to show an accurate local echo for these
regexes, however, the backend would act as the final
authority for handling the realm pattern conversion.
Since on replacing the first 'P<>' group, we remove this text from
the string, we have to make the RegExp start looking from index 0
again to properly convert later 'P<>' groups to JS regex syntax.
We want the search widget, when visible, to be
outside the scroll container for the stream list.
One obvious use case is if you start scrolling, and
then realize it might be less effort to search.
Also, for user search, it already worked this way.
We have to add a couple resizing hooks here, but
it's not necessary to change the actual resize
calculation, since we move the section inside
of #streams_header, which is already accounted
for.
The only markup change here is to add
a `stream_search_section` class. I don't
know why we use `notdisplayed` here instead of
jQuery, or what `input-append` is for, but I
considered them outside the scope of this change.
We can also remove some crufty CSS that was
compensating for it being inside the container.
First, we are not removing Group PMs from the
right sidebar, where most people see it.
There is a setting called:
[ ] User list in left sidebar in narrow windows
There are probably very few people that turn that on,
and even when they do, the setting only takes effect
when your window is less than a certain width.
This feature bitrots very quickly, because very few
core maintainers use it.
It's already kind of broken. It gets very crowded,
and we get CSS bugs when we move the right sidebar
into the left sidebar. (We can fix those bugs, but
they crop up unexpectedly due to the nature of CSS.)
We historically tried to maintain a ratio between
stream list, single-user buddy list, and group-user
buddy list, but the group-user buddy list gets
particularly crowded out, and it's basically useless
now.
We want to revisit the entire feature eventually, but
this commit at least gives the normal buddy list some
breathing room.
Also, if you need to see the info in the group PM
list, you can basically expand "Private Messages" to
see your recent group PM conversations. And if you
want to see who's actually online, that info is
already implicit from the normal buddy list.
If users have the option to put user lists in
the left sidebar for narrow windows, they will
now get 15px more of real estate in the left
sidebar.
I just removed the `-15` fudge factor.
We were double-counting the keyboard icon's
margin (8px) when figuring out how much room
we had for the two users lists.
Now we just use the safe outer height of
the anchor tag.
This change only impacts users who have the setting
to put the user lists in the left sidebar when they
have a narrow window.
First, we move ".right-sidebar-items" as an entire
group.
Second, we append the items to "#left-sidebar"
instead of ".narrows_panel".
The name `bottom_sidebar` was misleading, because it
includes the entire "normal" left sidebar.
It includes the 4 narrow links at the top plus the
stream/topic list.
We now call is narrows_panel.
Note that the left sidebar sometimes also includes
the user list (with a display setting turned on).
And it will eventually include other views.
We also remove an intermediate value in the resize
calculations.
This adds date dividers within a single message group when the only
reason we had previously been splitting apart two message groups is a
change of date. The overall effect is a cleaner message list user
experience.
The downside of this change would be that the recipient bars no longer
will always show a new date for date changes; to fix that, we rewrite
how the floating recipient bars both set the date field on the
floating recipient bar itself, as well as ensure that non-floating
recipient bars don't show duplicate dates.
In a future design update where we modify how message recipient bars
look, we may very well be able to simplify this logic by removing some
of the dynamic nature of the recipient bar calculations. But this is
a good implementation of what remains.
Tweaked significantly by tabbott from Steve Howell's original, both to
extract these changes from a larger PR as well as to modify the
first_visible_message logic to handle some tricky corner cases.
Fixes#10171.
On clicking the edit button for a stream description, the stream's
unrendered description should be made editable as text instead of
the stream's rendered description (which would be displayed as HTML
instead of text).
This completes the effort to use backend-rendered stream descriptions
here. Fixes#11272.
Use the results of commit #73d26c8 to remove the method
`render_stream_description` in static/js/stream_data.js and instead
use the rendered_description attribute now being sent by the backend.
This will be a valuable optimization and a step towards removing the
need for the marked.js markdown parser and speeding up the client end.
This changes the border-radius to 6px for the tabbed display, which is not
in line with the current Zulip style for border-radius (4px). However 6px
really looks a lot better for this (possibly because it's a bigger box than
most of our other boxes?)
The message_edit_history UI was incorrectly inheriting its content
div's structure from message_edit_content, i.e. the form for editing
message content, and not message_content, i.e. the class for rendering
the content of messages in the message feed (which we also use for
drafts).
Fix this by changing the inheritance, while also adding a (currently
unused) class for any future customizations.
Fixes: #5629.
This extract functions `get_mention_candidates_data` &
`filter_mention_name` to make code reusable and cleaner and further use
the logic in silent mention syntax.
Having a tiny bit of margin below the stream list
makes it possible to see the bottom of the scrollbar.
It also makes it so that the scrollbar activates
for a tiny range of list sizes where before the
last element would have been right up against the
bottom of the page, but we wouldn't scroll.
We need to move the update_group_date_divider call to run when a
message group is created. This achieves a few things:
* Fixes calling this multiple times useless for long message groups.
* It will soon no longer be correct to assume that every message
within a group has the same date, and in that case, we want to process
the date of the first message in the group, not of the last.
We only generate message_containers in one place, and that code path
already calls update_timestr. And update_timestr's effect only
depends on the message. Thus, this code was useless.
In small screen sizes, when the user presses shortcut `w` to search
for another user, the hide_all function calls in the search code path
would hide the right sidebar, immediately after opening it, making the
hotkey basically unusable.
We fix this by extracting a separate hide method that hides all true
popovers, but not the user list sidebar.
Fixes#11463.
The `uploadFinished` code switches on the composing mode, if we aren't
in the composing mode already. This causes the focus to be incorrect
when this code path runs due to an upload from the message edit
box. This commit fixes that logic to turn on the composing mode or
switches focus to the message edit box, depending on where the upload
was triggered.
So the top navbar is above the left sidebar
on the z-axis, not the y-axis.
So it doesn't make sense to use the top
navbar in calculating the size of the left
sidebar.
It kind of coincidentally works, since these
two numbers are closely related:
left sidebar top margin = 50
navbar height = 40
Calculating `bottom_sidebar_height` correctly
decreases its value by 10.
And then the only value that depends on it
is `stream_filters_max_height`. We were
subtracting out 10 there to make it work,
since `bottom_sidebar_height` was inaccurate
by +10. Now that's fixed.
The comment there was inaccurate--the
`stream_filter` div actually has a bottom
margin of 22px. The bottom margin does
have some consequences for scrolling,
but the main goal here is to make the
calculation return the same value but
be more accurate about what happens
toward the top of the screen.
We have always intended to have 10px of whitespace
below the navbar, and this enforces it directly
and explicitly in the CSS.
Note that the three major panels still should
have a margin of 50px, which is equal to
the safe outer height of the header (40px + 10px).
The border makes the alignment look nicer. Without
a border your eyes plays tricks on you and makes it
seem like numbers are not in the same column.
The border color is the same subtle color as the
backgrounds in others.
Because CSS is annoying, you have to tweak the padding
to make room for the border.
(It should look ok in night mode, too.)
Since the main autoscroll feature was implemeneted, the
maybe_advance_to_recently_sent_message logic had an unfortunate
structure, where the code for this potentially large scroll was
running AFTER the autoscroll decision was made, but before an actual
scroll could have occurred.
This resulted in code that was very difficult to reason about, as
there were 2 potential sources of scrolling when you send a new
message, with little connection between their implementations either
in location or implementation.
Moving this into the main autoscrolling code path clarifies the code,
with the added benefit of fixing a bug where we would report to the
user that they needed to scroll down when in fact we were just about
to scroll the bottom of the feed into view (via
maybe_advance_to_recently_sent_message).
With this change, we never display the "you need to scroll manually"
message in the cast that we just scrolled you there via selecting a
message.
When you just sent a large message, our logic for "you need to scroll"
notifications did not correctly take into account the height of the
compose box. This was easily reproduced when sending very long
messages. The correct solution requires a bit of math to compute what
the visible area will look like after the compose box is closed.
This should be the final fix to #11138.
This adds a function that controls the whole process of applying
markdown and displaying the markdown rendering preview on request;
This is required to avoid code duplication when adding preview feature
to message-edit UI.
We had disabled reference style links in bugdown, however,
we hadn't disabled them in marked. This commit rectifies
that and adds test cases for the same.
Fixes#11350.
The beforeSubmit function was a feature of the jquery-form plugin that
we removed months ago; the appropriate similar feature of jQuery's
built-in AJAX library is beforeSend.
This code will correctly add video call link to the message
textarea based on whether 'Add video call' was selected from
message composition form or message edit form.
The implementation was semi-rewritten by tabbott to remove an
unnecessary global variable, with fixes for the unit tests from
showell.
Fixes#11188.
This is primarily a feature for onboarding, where an organization
administrator might send a bunch of random test messages as part of
joining, but then want a pristine organization when their users later
join.
But it can theoretically be used for other use cases (e.g. for
moderation or removing threads that are problematic in some way).
Tweaked by tabbott to handle corner cases with
is_history_public_to_subscribers.
Fixes#10912.
This replaces the current usage of stream names with stream ids.
This commit also removes the `traditional` attribute from the invite
form as now we are sending stream_ids as an argument; this was the
only place in the codebase we used traditional=true, and it's great to
have it removed.
This function unlike `invite_streams()` returns an array of objects having
various info (name, stream_id, invite_only, default_stream) related to
streams rather than an array of names of streams.
We now compute the class that drives the tiny
green/orange/empty dot in the user popover using
the same logic as the buddy list.
This was broken in the early implementation of
set/clear-away, but it was never released.
Fixes#11413
This makes it possible to mention a user with a name like Gaël that
contains diacritics by typing e.g. "Gael", significantly reducing the
need to use a special keyboard to mention other users.
Fixes#11183.
The only time we set the `home` flag to true
is when it's the last (and only) item in the
list, in which case we flip `hash` to false
at the end of `make_tab_data()`.
So the section of code where both `home` and
`flag` were true is dead code.
Also, we can use `else` instead of `unless`.
The following elements in the top left corner
are major components of our app:
All messages
Private messages
Starred messages
Mentions
We can now find them directly:
$('.top_left_all_messages')
$('.top_left_private_messages')
$('.top_left_starred_messages')
$('.top_left_mentions')
Before this, we had to build up complicated selectors
like below:
exports.get_global_filter_li = function (filter_name) {
var selector = "#global_filters li[data-name='"
+ filter_name + "']";
return $(selector);
};
I don't think any newbie would know to grep for "global_filter",
and I've seen a PR where somebody added specific markup here
to "Private messages" because they couldn't grok the old scheme.
Another thing to note is that we still have a "home-link"
class for "All messages", which overlapped with portico
code that had the same name. (There were some inaccurate
comments in the code relating to the tab bar, but we don't
actually have a way to click to the home view in the tab
bar any more.) I'll eliminate that cruft in another commit.
For this commit the four elements still have the
"global-filter" class, since there's some benefit to being
able to style them all as a group, although we should give
it a nicer name in a subsequent commit.
Most of this PR is basic search/replace, but I did add a
two-line helper: `top_left_corner.update_starred_count`
