Adds a sentence at the end of the intro section of each help center
page explaining that you can pull up a Keyboard shortcuts, Message
formatting, and Search filters reference from inside the app.
Adds/updates the in-app help section at the bottom of the page with
instructions for opening the reference.
Fixes#23758.
- Organize search terms into categories.
- To avoid technical-sounding jargon, use the term "filter" rather "operator".
- Be more specific and consistent in describing search queries.
- Change how user search is described, as we now show user name pills.
Previously, CSS rules were added inline for emails page in
dev server. This commit adds a new file which contains
CSS rules for the emails page in dev server. This will
also help us in adding focus for the radio buttons in
the page, which cannot be added inline to the elements,
when we remove the use of bootstrap for this page.
Removes images of the bot type dropdown menus for creating new
bots because they are no longer up-to-date and picking an option
from a dropdown does not seem like it would require a screenshot.
Removes the three remaining instances of `settings_html` links in
the integrations documentation. Use of `settings_html` was removed
from the general shared `create-an-incoming-webhook.md` and
`create-a-generic-bot.md` files in e9e2721.
Updates the Hello World integration documentation and the section
of the related tutorial on documenting the example integration
for the currently used shared macro `create-bot-construct-url.md`.
Also, updates them to use the numbered style currently used in
the majority of the integrations documentation pages.
Before 2017, Zulip's manage streams and settings UIs were tab in the
same pane position as our current message feed and recent topics.
That original implementation was implemented using Bootstrap tabs;
while it hasn't been in use for years, we had a bunch of stale code
related to it leftover in this module.
Previous algorithm was not correct if we didn't have full data for
the current narrow loaded from the server. #23512 adds the support
to mark messages in a narrow unread after a give message_id.
Added a new alert banner to indicate loading and success states of
an ongoing request. This is useful when requests can take a long
time to complete.
Fixes#23517.
While this feature was added to Zulip very early, it has been troubled
for most of that time; it never looked great visually, had a lot of
implementation complexity around resize.js, and has a weird model (a
setting that changes the UI only in certain window sizes).
This option is not commonly used; while a significant portion of users
have it enabled, many of them just don't use window sizes where it
actually has an effect. So it's not clear that it will be missed if
removed; we got very few bug reports when it was completely broken for
a few days after we first integrated the new left sidebar private
messages design.
Even with it no longer being broken, it does not work very well with
the addition of the new PMs section in the left sidebar. (Having two
scrollbars in the sidebar looks quite awkward.) The new private
messages section in the left sidebar also addresses some of the use
cases for always keeping the Users list always visible, even in narrow
windows.
This option is only removed from frontend for now. To make this
decision easily reversible, the backend code of this feature
is still kept.
We can reuse the content from multiple sections of the Slack article
to update "Import from Mattermost/Gitter/Rocket.Chat" by making small
wording tweaks.
- Renames the page to "Usage statistics" (title & left sidebar).
- Adds an intro section that outlines the types of information
that can be found on the stats page.
Fixes#23449.
Adds "View your mentions" page to document how to access @-mentions
and the @ indicator for unread @-mentions on desktop/web and mobile.
Fixes#23422.
Co-authored-by: Alya Abbott <alya@zulip.com>
Fixes small error in the example at the top of the article, and
adds a short statement about narrows searching the current user's
personal message history with a link to the help center article.
Gives the final section a subheader and adds the two other narrow
operators that take an ID.
Updates the relevant help center articles to reflect that the
sections for Pinned and Inactive streams in the left sidebar
now have labels.
Fixes#23423.
It is better not to use a tab in the instructions for how to
"Toggle whether names of reacting users are displayed", as this setting
applies to both web/desktop and mobile apps.
The instructions themselves still indicate that the setting is controlled
via the web/desktop app.
Updates the first part of the article to discuss the basics of
the search feature. Adds sub-headers / sections to the list of
search operators. Makes the exluding messages a section header
instead of a sub-section of the list.
Updates the help center article on searching for messages to have
the correct format for the "group-pm-with" operator.
Also, reorders the list so that the private message searches are
all together, and the `streams:public` operator is last so that
it stands out a bit more.
The previous error page was inadequate for serving the two different
scenarios where we show errors in realm_creations, in particular
containing a misleading sentence about realm creation being disabled
(even in the case where it was actually enabled and the user simply had
an expired link).
Some options in the profile menu are not documented in the help center.
Documents "View messages sent".
Documents "View messages with yourself".
Links `sender:me` search operator to the relevant section on this page.
Fixes: #23203.
Change URLs on "Choosing between Zulip Cloud and self-hosting" page
to be non-relative when pointing to the Zulip landing page or `/new`
for creating a new Zulip Cloud organization.
Replaces instances of "recent topics" in the web-app and documentation
to be "recent conversations".
Renames both `recent-topics.md` files in the help center to be
`recent-conversations.md` and updates/redirects links to new URL.
Does not update instances of "recent topics" in frontend code comments
and does not update the main overview changelog, for now.
Does not change case study text where "recent topics" was referenced
in a quote, but does change generic text references to be "recent
conversations".
Renames the help article on custom profile fields to reflect that
its content is not just about adding fields.
Adds a redirect from the old URL to the new URL and updates internal
links, linking to #add-a-custom-profile-field where appropriate.
Fixes#23170.
- Consolidate /help/starting-a-new-private-thread and /help/private-messages.
- Tweak the wording on compose-and-send-message.md.
- Use compose-and-send-message.md where appropriate (and not otherwise).
Corrects "Reply mentioning user" option which is available in the
user menu if accessed from a message.
Documents "Copy mention syntax" option which is available from the
right sidebar.
Fixes: #23202.
Adds new tab to `zerver/lib/markdown/tabbed_sections.py` to document
managing bots from both personal settings and organization settings.
Documents adding bots from the organization settings Bots panel.
Separates instructions for deactivating and reactivating a bot from
both personal settings and organization settings.
Fixes a few formatting issues such as missing bold formatting and
heading level.
Fixes: #23066.
This documents how to access the options from the three-dot menu in a
user's profile summary.
Refactors and updates the steps for muting a user into a single set of
instructions. Updates instructions for the "Manage this user" option.
Fixes#23204.
Updates all help center documentation according to the latest changes to
the three-dot message menu and the UI for moving and editing messages.
Fixes#23217.
These used to only be shown conditional on the
{% if password_auth_enabled %} in the template. Meaning that if you had
an org with email auth disabled and a deactivated user tried to log in,
they wouldn't see the error shown and get confused.
This switches the position of where these error will be shown (above the
login+password form instead of below it), but it looks fine.
Documents the new "Mark as unread from here" option in the three-dot
message menu.
Adds new page "Marking messages as unread", just below "Marking
messages as read" in the sidebar index.
Fixes: #23052.
This commit updates description for "e" shortcut to
"Edit selected message or view message source" in
shortcuts menu and to "Edit message or view message source"
in help docs.
Previously we did not send notification for topic-only edits.
Now, we add backend support for sending notification to topic-only
edits as well.
We would add support for this in webapp in further commits since
message edit UI will be updated as well. We just make sure that no
notifications are sent when editing topic using pencil icon in
message header.
We also change the API default for moving a topic to only notify the
new location, not the old one; this matches the current defaults in
the web UI.
Includes many tests.
We also update the puppeteer tests to test only content edit as
we are going to change the UI to not allow topic editing from
message edit UI. Also fixing the existing tests to pass while
doing topic edits is somewhat complex as notification message
is also sent to new topic by default.
Fixes#21712.

Previously "Move message" option was not shown when content editing
was also allowed and also when only moving messaages between streams
was allowed but not topic edits.
Now we show "Move message" option when editing topics or moving
messages between streams is allowed irrespective of whether content
editing is allowed or not.
Split the View source / Move message option into two menu options that
take you to the same UI: Move message and View message source.
Previously, it was confusing to have this double option,
and hard to parse it at a glance.
-View message source uses the current icon.
-Move message uses the arrows icon from the Move topic menu option.
-New option order: (1) Move message, (2) Quote and reply or forward,
(3) View message source.
Also remove the "Topic editing only" and "View source" text on the
bottom right of the message edit UI along with the tooltips. Only
the timer text is shown (along with tooltip) when content editing
is allowed.
Adds a bullet point about muted users being excluded from read
receipts for all messages, and that the read receipts feature
doesn't share if the user has read messages for their muted users.
- Remove unnecessary screenshot with old Zulip branding.
- In the intro, clarify how the organization profile picture is used.
- Extract org profile intro into an included file.
- Describe the Preview organization profile button.
Add #stream_name to wildcard mention because it is important
information for interpreting the wildcard mention (larger streams may
mean something very different to you than small ones).
Fixes#22885.
Add {{ realm_name }} to the "Reply to this email directly ..." line.
This ensures the realm name is always present in the email
notification footer area, in a consistent location.
This commit renames Edit to Edit message and Collapse to Collapse message
for better readability and to match the Delete message and
Copy link to message options.
Previously, we included all three message edit related settings
("allow_message_editing", "message_content_edit_limit_seconds" and
"edit_topic_policy") in the event data and api response irrespective
of which of these settings were changed. Now, we only include changed
settings and separate events are sent for each setting if more than
one of them is changed.
Note that the previous typed in event_schema.py for
`message_content_edit_limit_seconds` incorrectly did not allow `None`
as a value, which is used to encode no limit.
Unfortunately, doing so requires forking common API documentation
text, since we're not making any changes to other endpoints that don't
allow unauthenticated requests at all.
Follow-up on #21995.
Makes the footer content on doc pages more contextually appropriate
for self-hosted organizations, when `settings.CORPORATE_ENABLED` is
false.
When `settings.CORPORATE_ENABLED` is true, there is specific footer
content for the policy documentation pages, and for the help center
and API documentation pages.
Fixes#23068.
Updates the help center article on 'Status and availability' to
describe invisible mode as a feature and removes all mentions of
the unavailable feature.
Fixes#21178.
Updates API documentation and changelog for user status `away`
now being a deprecated way to access a user's `presence_enabled`
setting for clients supporting older servers.
Final step in making user status `away` a deprecated way to access
`presence_enabled` for clients supporting older servers.
Part of transitioning from 'unavailable' user status feature to
'invisible mode' user presence feature.
This help center article should include more features rather than just
focusing on the "go to conversation" button. We should broaden and
restructure this page to cover other advanced features.
Refactors the "Go to conversation" section as step-by-step instructions,
and adds a `keyboard_tip`.
Adds new section "Toggle between Ctrl+Enter and Enter".
Deletes the "Enable Enter to send" help center article, and adds its
content as a new subheading in this section.
Updates existing links accordingly and adds a URL redirect.
Documents "Enable Control + Enter to send".
Tweaks intro paragraph of "Mastering the compose box".
Fixes: #22817.
Fixes#22821.
As explained in the comment in the code:
Topics can be large enough that this request will inevitably time out.
In such a case, it's good for some progress to be accomplished, so that
full deletion can be achieved by repeating the request. For that purpose,
we delete messages in atomic batches, committing after each batch.
The additional perk is that the ordering of messages should prevent some
hypothetical deadlocks - ref #19054
Adds section on how to configure whether messages are automatically
marked as read.
Adds instructions to manually mark all messages as read, or mark all
messages in a stream or topic as read.
Adds the all messages tab image icon.
Fixes: #22915.
This help center article needs to be restructured before adding
documentation for mobile app users.
Splits the article into three sections so that we can document how
to mark messages as read on scroll or manually mark all messages
as read.
Adds "Related articles" section with cross-links.
Adds a new help center article to document the ability to edit bots,
both in personal and organization settings.
Adds a note about bot editing to "View all bots in your organization".
Fixes#21641.

To allow `custom_profile_field` to display in user profile popover,
added new boolean field "display_in_profile_summary" in its model class.
In `custom_profile_fields.py`, functions are edited as per conditions,
like currently we can display max 2 `custom_profile_fields` except
`LONG_TEXT` and `USER` type fields.
Default external account custom profile fields made updatable for only
this new field, as previous they were not updatable.
Fixes part of: #21215
Removes the default title element of "Zulip" from `base.html` and
the default meta-description sentence from `meta_tags.html`. Also
removes default open graph metadata.
For portico templates that would would fail tests, set both
`PAGE_TITLE` and `PAGE_DESCRIPTION` variables with appropriate
content.
Co-authored-by: Alya Abbott <alya@zulip.com>
Adds HTML title elements to templates that extend either `base.html`,
`portico.html` or `portico_signup.html`, and that are not website
portico landing pages that will use the `PAGE_TITLE` variable to set
the HTML title element (see following commit in series).
Also, updates some templates for missing translation tags.
As a general rule, we want the title element (and page content)
translated. Exceptions that are updated in this commit are templates
used in the development environment, analytics templates that are used
by staff and templates related to Zephyr.
This has no impact because zulip.com is not attacker-controlled, but
we should be consistent in protecting external target="_blank" links.
Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <anders@zulip.com>
Adds a new page titled "Import your settings" in the "Account basics"
section to document how to import user settings from an existing Zulip
account to a new Zulip account, and which settings will be imported.
Adds a question mark (?) icon linking to this help page from the
registration form when the import settings option is available.
Adds cross-links on related articles.
Fixes: #20918.
This commit adds do_change_can_remove_subscriber_group function for
changing can_remove_subscribers_group field of a stream. We also add
can_remove_subscribers_group_id field to stream and subscription
objects.
This function will be helpful for writing tests in next commit.
We would add API and UI support to change this setting in further
commits.
Updates references to keyboard keys in the help center docs to use
`<kbd>` HTML elements, which also means updating them to be as the
key would appear on a keyboard.
Previously, uppercase and lowercase letters were used to indicate
when/if the `Shift` key was being used, and even that was not
consistent throughout the documentation.
For CSS styling, adds a similar rule for `<kbd>` elements that is
used in `/static/styles/app_components.css`. And updates the CSS
class used in `/static/js/portico/help.js` for `adjust_mac_shortcuts`
accordingly.
Also, takes advantage of revising these pages for making small
updates for current help center documentation practices.
Although our POST /messages handler accepts the ‘to’ parameter with or
without JSON encoding, there are two problems with passing it as an
unencoded string.
Firstly, you’d fail to send a message to a stream named ‘true’ or
‘false’ or ‘null’ or ‘2022’, as the JSON interpretation is prioritized
over the plain string interpretation.
Secondly, and more importantly for our tests, it violates our OpenAPI
schema, which requires the parameter to be JSON-encoded. This is
because OpenAPI has no concept of a parameter that’s “optionally
JSON-encoded”, nor should it: such a parameter cannot be unambiguously
decoded for the reason above.
Our version of openapi-core doesn’t currently detect this schema
violation, but after the next upgrade it will.

Adds a legend to the "org-registration" fieldset where the user
inputs info about the new organization. Previously, there was only
a legend for the "user-registration" fieldset. Also, increases
the opacity of CSS rule for the legend color so that they are
more visible.
Removes the hint text about what the organization URL value is
used for since it is pretty clear from the field's name.
Removes the prefilled support email content in `500.html` and
`unsubscribe_link_error.html` templates since both cases are rather
rare and the prefilled content is not useful for organizations that
do not use English as their main communication language.
There are a handful of integration docs that instruct users to create
a bot and select the "Generic bot" type without using a helper macro.
Adds a new macro to replace these instructions, including a screenshot
of the latest UI for selecting a bot type.
Several integration docs instruct the user to create a bot, but don't
specify that the type of bot should be "Incoming webhook".
Renames create-a-bot.md -> create-an-incoming-webhook.md for clarity,
and replaces all incomplete instructions with this macro.
Renames bot_types.png -> bot_types_incoming_webhook.png and updates
the image with a screenshot of the latest UI.
Added a user_list_style personal user setting to the bottom of
Settings > Display settings > Theme section which controls the look
of the right sidebar user list.
The radio button UI includes a preview of what the styles look like.
The setting is intended to eventually have 3 possible values: COMPACT,
WITH_STATUS and WITH_AVATAR; the final value is not yet implemented.

We create "event-filter-instruction.md" and add it to
"create-bot-construct-url.md". This allows the user to keep track of the
supported event types for most of the integrations that implement this
feature. Note that not all integrations use "create-bot-construct-url.md".
We also need to rename "function" to "view_function" to make this change
type-check.
This is relevant to #18392.

Renames article about organization language used for automated
messages and invitation emails. Creates URL redirect and updates
links in repository (web app, help center and api documentation).
Prior to this change, the article was named:
'change-the-default-language-for-your-organization'.
Fixes#21949.
Renames existing template variables starting with `OPEN_GRAPH` to be
either `PAGE` or `PAGE_METADATA` since these variables are used for
adding both open graph metdata and page titles/descriptions for SEO.
- Add a reminder to ensure users send the correct export token
- Ask administrators to inform users about their new Zulip account
prior to doing an automated password reset.
The logo were only used in the integration documentation and belong in
static/images/integrations/giphy/; the in-app image is given its own
directory.
Fixes#22464.
We move the markdown class to the element which directly contains
the markdown text. This avoids markdown properties being applied
to other elements unintentionally like `h1` elements.
Documents in help center `/keyboard-shortcuts` and in the app `?`
menu the shortcuts used by browsers for navigating back and forward
through the open tab's history, which are made to work in Zulip.
Also, updates `adjust_mac_shortcuts` to update the shortcut keys
for users with Mac user agents.
Fixes#18542.
Disables submit buttons on billing / upgrade page for demo
organizations since they will need to become permanent
organizations before upgrading to Zulip Cloud Standard.
Also creates an alert banner on the same page that links to
the help center article on demo organizations.
Updates sub-headers on demo organizations help center
article to match link text and to follow general convention
of using imperative verb forms in help center subheaders.
Part of #19523.

Updates in-app and documentation references to automated messages
sent by the notification bot as automated notices (or automated
messages where more appropriate/clear), instead of notifications.
Also, makes some small related revisions / general clean ups to
`resolve-a-topic.md`.
Fixes#22188.
Fixes#21037.
This is part of fixing #19371. To bulk-add new emoji regularly,
mobile needs to know which servers support which emoji.
`staticfiles_storage.url` generates a unique URL with a hash
based on the file content, which lets mobile know if it needs
to update its locally stored data.
This commit adds a header above the plain text view of the digest to
be more clear about what the user is seeing.
A bit hacky, but the page is an internal development tool.
Fixes#21165.
We should rearrange Zulip's developer docs to make it easier to
find the documentation that new contributors need.
Name changes
Rename "Code contribution guide" section -> "Contributing to Zulip".
Rename "Contributing to Zulip" page -> "Contributing guide".
Organizational changes to the newly-named "Contributing to Zulip":
Move up "Contributing to Zulip", as the third link in sidebar index.
Move up renamed "Contributing guide" page to the top of this section.
Move up "Zulip code of Conduct", as the second link of this section.
Move down "Licensing", as the last link of this section.
Move "Accessibility" just below "HTML and CSS" in Subsystems section.
Update all links according to the changes above.
Redirects should be added as needed.
Fixes: #22517.
Adds step-by-step instructions for mobile app users including the
corresponding image icons for the buttons that they should tap on
their screen.
Makes individual SVG image icons, for the help center docs, available
in `/static/images/help/`, instead of importing the entire set of
icons as dependencies.
Adds the icons for the "PMs" tab from https://feathericons.com, and
"Checkmark" and "Send" buttons from https://materialdesignicons.com.
Adds a new nested CSS selector to `.markdown img` so that the default
white border for images does not get applied to these icons.
Some preliminary work is needed before documenting mobile feature.
Adds Desktop/Web tab and improves wording.
Splits instructions into "Send PM" / "Send group PM".
Documents sending a PM via the user actions menu.
Dedicated overlay for user group settings is added as part of
addressing zulip#19526.
The newely added overlay is currently empty and more UI
related to settings is to be added in further commits.
In Zulip 2.1.0, the `is_muted` stream subscription property was
added and replaced the `in_home_view` property. But the server has
still only been sending subscription update events with the
`in_home_view` property.
Updates `do_change_subscription_property` to send a subscription
update event for both `is_muted` and `in_home_view`, so that
clients can fully migrate away from using `in_home_view` allowing
us to eventually remove it completely.
Adds a shared note to both help center articles with sections on
subscribing users to streams, documenting that an automated private
message from the notification bot is sent to a user when subscribed
to a stream by another user.
Links to the article on the notification bot, and clarifies text in
that article regarding automated private messages.
This commit changes the code to consider zero as an invalid value for
message_content_edit_time_limit_seconds. Now to represent the setting that
user can edit the message anytime, the setting value will be "None" in
database and "unlimited" will be passed to API from clients.
Adds an API endpoint for accessing read receipts for other users, as
well as a modal UI for displaying that information.
Enables the previously merged privacy settings UI for managing whether
a user makes read receipts data available to other users.
Documentation is pending, and we'll likely want to link to the
documentation with help_settings_link once it is complete.
Fixes#3618.

This commit adds support to change enable_read_receipts
setting through API and also adds the field to response
of "/register" endpoint so that the setting value
is available to clients.
We now allow changing access to history of the stream by only passing
"history_public_to_subscribers" parameter. Previously, "is_private"
parameter was also required to change history_public_to_subscribers
otherwise the request was silently ignored.
We also raise error when only history_public_to_subscribers parameter
is passed with value False without "is_private: True" for a public
or web-public stream since we do not allow public streams with
protected history.
In compose box, the "x" button tooltip text changed to
"Cancel compose and save draft" except when unsent
message length is short(<3).
Also in help(?) > keyboard shortcuts, text for `Esc`
changed to "Cancel compose and save draft".
The help center page updated with the above changes.
Fixes#21599.
We now send a new user_topic event while muting and unmuting topics.
fetch_initial_state_data now returns an additional user_topics array to
the client that will maintain the user-topic relationship data.
This will support any future addition of new features to modify the
relationship between a user-topic pair.
This commit adds the relevent backend code and schema for the new
event.
Updates documentation to include information about user presence
objects with `aggregated` key (instead of the user's email) where
appropriate.
Also, cleans up spelling, grammar and formatting errors in the
descriptive text for these objects / endpoints.
Updates the instruction block to directly reference the section
header (Notifications triggers) for clarity and consistency with
other help center references to this user settings area.
