This flag affects page_params and the
payload you get back from POSTs to this
url:
users/me/presence
The flag does not yet affect the
presence events that get sent to a
client.
In Django 2.0, request.user.is_authenticated stops supporting
`.is_authenticated()` and becomes just a property. In 1.11, it's a
CallableProperty (i.e. can be used either way), and we already use it
as a property in several other places, so we should just switch to
using it consistently now to get it off of our Django 2.x migration
checklist.
This extracts a function for computing show_invites and
show_add_streams, for better readability and testability.
This commit was substantially cleaned up by tabbott.
This legacy cross-realm bot hasn't been used in several years, as far
as I know. If we wanted to re-introduce it, I'd want to implement it
as an embedded bot using those common APIs, rather than the totally
custom hacky code used for it that involves unnecessary queue workers
and similar details.
Fixes#13533.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

Fixes#1727.
With the server down, apply migrations 0245 and 0246. 0246 will remove
the pub_date column, so it's essential that the previous migrations
ran correctly to copy data before running this.
This sidesteps tricky escaping issues, and will make it easier to
build a strict Content-Security-Policy.

Added a new button at the bottom of the stream list which redirects
users to '/#streams/all' where they can create new streams or subscribe
to new streams.
The button is not visible to guests.
Fixes#11642.
This commit migrates the Subscription's notification fields from a
BooleanField to a NullBooleanField where a value of None means to
inherit the value from user's profile.
Also includes a migrations to set the corresponding settings to None
if they match the user profile's values. This migration helps us in
getting rid of the weird "Apply to all" widget that we offered on
subscription settings page.
The mobile apps can't handle None appearing as the stream-level
notification settings, so for backwards-compatibility we arrange to
only send True/False to the mobile apps by applying those defaults
server-side. We introduce a notification_settings_null value within a
client_capabilities structure that newer versions of the mobile apps
can use to request the new model.
This mobile compatibility code is pretty effectively tested by the
existing test_events tests for the subscriptions subsystem.
If MAX_FILE_UPLOAD_SIZE is set to 0, then UI elements like the upload
icon in the compose and message edit UI and "Attachments" menu in
"/#settings" are not displayed.
A different error message is also displayed if a user tries to drag and
drop or paste a file into the compose message box.
Fixes#12152.
Fixes#12251.
Previously when disabling name changes in server settings, instead
of realm settings, the name edit button did not get disabled.
Changing name resulted in a message stating `no changes made`.
Fixes#12132.
Realm setting to disable avatar changes is already present.
The `AVATAR_CHANGES_DISABLED` setting now follows the same
2-setting model as `NAME_CHANGES_DISABLED`.
Previously, we had some expensive-to-calculate keys in
zulip_default_context, especially around enabled authentication
backends, which in total were a significant contributor to the
performance of various logged-out pages. Now, these keys are only
computed for the login/registration pages where they are needed.
This is a moderate performance optimization for the loading time of
many logged-out pages.
Closes#11929.
The night logo synchronization on the settings page was perfect, but
the actual display logic had a few problems:
* We were including the realm_logo in context_processors, even though
it is only used in home.py.
* We used different variable names for the templating in navbar.html
than anywhere else the codebase.
* The behavior that the night logo would default to the day logo if
only one was uploaded was not correctly implemented for the navbar
position, either in the synchronization for updates code or the
logic in the navbar.html templates.
Add all the stop words to page_params, reading from the
`zulip_english.stop` database, with caching to avoid loading the file
on every page load.
Part of #10592.
Since we have already added the `invite_as` field to models, we can now
replace usage of `invite_as_admin` properly with its equivalent `invite_as
== PreregistrationUser.INVITE_AS['REALM_ADMIN']`.
Hence, also removed now redundant `invite_as`.
If `TEXT_EMOJISET` is currently selected emojiset then fallback to
`GOOGLE_EMOJISET` for displaying emojis in emoji picker and
composebox typeahead. We should pre-load the spritesheets in`emoji.js`
even in case of text emojiset otherwise on slow networks emoji picker
will appear empty initially.
This setting isn't intended to exist long term, but instead to make it
possible to merge our search pills code before we're ready to cut over
production environments to use it.
We now have a simple algorithm: First, look at the URL path
(e.g. /de/, which is intended to be an override). Second, look at the
language the user has specified in their settings.
We haven't seen significant traffic from the legacy desktop app in
over a year, and users using it get a warning to upgrade since last
summer, so it's probably OK to stop providing special fonts for it.
The handlebars error message is just for the manual development
environment; this prevents the state of compiling handlebars templates
from run-dev.py from potentially causing the unit tests to fail.
This should make it easier to find the templates that are actually
part of the core webapp, instead of having them all mixed together
with the portico pages.
This bot was basically a duplicate of NOTIFICATION_BOT for some
specific corner cases, and didn't add much value. It's better to just
eliminate it, which also removes some ugly corner cases around what
happens if the user account doesn't exist.
This commit adds a setting to limit creation of generic bots
to admins for realms that want that restriction. (Generic
bots, apart from being considered spammy on some realms,
have less locked down permissions than webhook bots).
Fixes#7066.
This commit allows clients to register client_gravatar=True, and
then we recognize that flag for message events. If the flag is
True, we will not calculate gravatar URLs and let the clients do
it themselves. (Clients can calculate gravatar URLs based on
emails with just a little bit of code.)
Do you call get_recipient(Recipient.STREAM, stream_id) or
get_recipient(stream_id, Recipient.STREAM)? I could never
remember, and it was not very type safe, since both parameters
are integers.
These are just instances that jumped out at me while working on the
subdomains code, mostly while grepping for get_subdomain call sites.
I haven't attempted a comprehensive search, and there are likely
still others left.
In the UI we use locale as the code for the language. Django expects
language code. For Simplified Chinese, 'zh_Hans' is the locale which
maps to a directaory under static/locale, and 'zh-hans' is the language
code, which is used in settings.LANGUAGES setting found in Django.
The original "quality score" was invented purely for populating
our password-strength progress bar, and isn't expressed in terms
that are particularly meaningful. For configuration and the core
accept/reject logic, it's better to use units that are readily
understood. Switch to those.
I considered using "bits of entropy", defined loosely as the log
of this number, but both the zxcvbn paper and the linked CACM
article (which I recommend!) are written in terms of the number
of guesses. And reading (most of) those two papers made me
less happy about referring to "entropy" in our terminology.
I already knew that notion was a little fuzzy if looked at
too closely, and I gained a better appreciation of how it's
contributed to confusion in discussing password policies and
to adoption of perverse policies that favor "Password1!" over
"derived unusual ravioli raft". So, "guesses" it is.
And although the log is handy for some analysis purposes
(certainly for a graph like those in the zxcvbn paper), it adds
a layer of abstraction, and I think makes it harder to think
clearly about attacks, especially in the online setting. So
just use the actual number, and if someone wants to set a
gigantic value, they will have the pleasure of seeing just
how many digits are involved.
(Thanks to @YJDave for a prototype that the code changes in this
commit are based on.)
This system hasn't been in active use for several years, and had some
problems with it's design. So it makes sense to just remove it to declutter
the codebase.
Fixes#5655.
The change password form http://localhost:9991/#settings/your-account
don't have data-min-length and data-min-quality attributes. The
account_settings.handlebar which has the change password form is
rendered client side. So we have to pass the value of min length
and quality in page params to set the data-min-length and
data-min-quality attributes.
This page describes software the user will get from upstream for
their own devices, independent of what's on the server they're
using. So it should live in a place maintained together with
that other software, rather than be distributed and versioned
with the server.
The use of ZILENCER_ENABLED to tell the difference is rather a hack
but is currently how we do this in the small handful of similar
spots; see #5245.
Fixes#5234.
This is probably not the right long-term solution to the cross-realm
bots problem (that solution is probably to eliminate cross-realm bots
and replace them with per-realm bots). But in the short term, this
will at least make it possible for mobile apps to interact with these
cross-realm bots using the `realm_user` data set.
Move the user_profile data section down into fetch_initial_state_data
so it entirely pulls from register_ret for #3853.
This field requires some changes to the events race handling.
