We move the stream subscribed/unsubscribed bookend info from
js files to bookend handlebar.
Tweaked by tabbott to override the check-templates indentation logic.
This avoids the somewhat confusing visuals of showing messages as
EDITED where the content had not been changed, which also obscured
situations where a message had both been edited and moved.
It's possible we could do better with some sort of fancier block-move
visual styling, but it's a bit tricky to do well given that we support
moving multiple messages at once.
Fixes#20451.
It can be pretty annoying to lose your place when replying to an old
message, even though every other chat application does this. And it
doesn't really buy us much; the user can always scroll down if they
want to, we have a helpful notification about where their message is
(which could be improved), and then we don't need to add some sort of
new complicated logic to avoid marking messages as read unexpectedly,
which the existing logic for this block badly needed.
(It had existing logic of that form dating from the pre-unread counts
pointer era).
Fixes#11462.
The from_scroll=true setting has been present since essentially the
beginning of time (6ae117ea5f), and has
moved around a number of times since. It's possible that it was
correct with the UI model as originally implemented, but the behavior
it creates now is that sending a message in the home view does not
move the cursor, and sending in a narrow does, without any intent
behind that behavior.
Further, the logic for controlling whether to display a "Scroll down"
notification clearly expects that this code path will actually trigger
a scroll to the current message, which would be the case without the
from_scroll setting.
Previously, the "resolve/unresolve topic" checkmark option was displayed in recipient bars
was presented to users regardless of whether they had permission to resolve topics in that
stream, which was confusing.
Fixes#19880.
We use subs as a common variable name for a collection of stream
data structure used in settings, in lot of modules. So this
rename clears a bunch of related shadowed variables.
We split recent_topics module into recent_topics_(ui + data + util).
This allows us to reduce cyclical dependencies which were
created due to large list of imports in recent topics. Also, this
refactor on its own makes sense.
* We show a "Click here to reveal." hyperlink in the hidden
message dialog for user to click on and read a hidden message.
* The "reveal" action is temporary, in the sense that a revealed
message will again be hidden once the broswer tab reloads or
if the user renarrows.
* When a message is revealed, we make sure to show the sender
of that message, even if it isn't the first message of it's group.
This is because the first message of that message group (which
would have otherwise shown the sender) can still be hidden.
* Reactions and background color after revealing a message are
the same as if the message hadn'e been hidden at all in the
first place.
* We hide the sender and reactions on messages sent by muted
users, and replace the content with a "This message was hidden"
dialog.
* Ideally, we should collapse a series of consequetive
messages sent by muted users into one such dialog, but
that could break the cursor behaviour and `near/<message_id`
links, so we as of now show one dialog per muted message.
* Because we hide the sender, there is a chance of the first
hidden message in a group looking like it was sent by the
author of the message above it. To tackle this, we intentionally
make the hidden message dialog float-left, so that it is clear
that this is a special type of message.
* For context, we still show the timestamp of the message.
* Starring, editing, deleting etc a message still work just like
before.
A further commit will add the ability to reveal a
hidden message.
Earlier, a user can only mute a topic from its recipient bar but can't
unmute it from there (and in fact we displayed an option to mute even
if the topic was already muted!). This commit fixes that bug and
allows a user also to unmute the topic from its recipient bar.
There are two core issues here;
* We did not have code, an icon, etc. for the "already muted" case in
the recipient bar logic at all.
* We did not rerender messages in !excludes_muted_topics views when
muting state changed.
See: 660475bd0c for background on when
we started only rerendering the streams with excludes_muted_topics
after muting changes. Rerendering of newly muted topics are important
for live rendering if a user is narrowed to that topic itself, which
are essentially all excludes_muted_topics narrows anyway.
Hence, now, we rerender by calling the `rerender` function for muted
topics (which is done just before we update the items for muting via
the function: `update_items_for_topic_muting`).
Tweaked by tabbott to add comments explaining the reasoning and
long-term plans.
Fixes#15223.
This reduces the complexity of our dependency graph.
It also makes sub_store.get parallel to message_store.get.
For both you pass in the relevant id to get the
full validated object.
This commit takes the blocks of code from "build_message_groups" that are the
same as "_rerender_message", and move those into a function called
"set_calculated_message_container_variables". This helps to avoid bugs in
future as in #17663. Like timestr was being updated in one of them, but needed
in both. So, it takes care that message variables are correctly set.
Part of #17663
This commit updates the _rerender_message to update the message_time
string with the current timestamp on the message rerender.
When we locally echo a message, we store a local timestamp that will
generally not be used as it is replaced by the server time in
echo.process_from_server when we confirm receipt of the message.
echo.process_from_server correctly updates the .timestamp field on
the message and triggers a rerender but that rerender reuses
the message_container object without recomputing the
message_container.timestr due to which wrong older timestr was shown
on the message box.
This commit fix this by calling set_timestr in the rerender code path,
alongside calls to update similar data structures like
this._maybe_format_me_message.
Fixes#17655
