Here we have migrated checkboxes of all general notifications to the table.
By general notifications we mean, Mobile, Email, Desktop audio, and visual
notifications.
This is a part of a bigger migration to simply our notifications setting
changing infrastructure for all streams and individual streams. Later we
will add more row to this for different categories of notifications in
addition to the current ones ("Streams" and "PMs, mentions, alerts").
Fixes: #12182.
The matrix integration folder in python-zulip-api changed its name
from matrix to bridge_with_matrix but this was not reflected in
the docs. Change the docs accordingly.
Solves issue #545 in the python-zulip-api directory.
This refactors remove_reaction in python_examples.py to validate the
result with validate_against_openapi_schema. Minor changes and some
additions have been made to the OpenAPI format data for
/messages/{message_id}/reactions endpoint.
This refactors add_reaction in python_examples.py to use the
openapi_test_function decorator and validate result with
validate_against_openapi_schema. Minor changes have been made to the
OpenAPI format data for /messages/{message_id}/reactions endpoint.
This also adds add-emoji.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
add-emoji to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
This extends our email address visibility settings to deny access to
user email addresses even to organization administrators.
At the moment, they can of course change the setting (which leaves an
audit trail), but in the future only organization owners will be able
to change that setting.
While we're at this, we rewrite the settings_data.js test to cover all
the cases in a more consistent way.
Fixes#14111.
This adds update_user to python_examples.py in zerver/openapi.
This also adds update-user.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
update-user to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
This adds deactivate_user to python_examples.py in zerver/openapi.
This also adds delete-user.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
delete-user to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
This adds get_single_user to python_examples.py in zerver/openapi.
This also adds get-single-user.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
get-single-user to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
This commit includes a new `stream_post_policy` setting,
by replacing the `is_announcement_only` field from the Stream model,
which is done by mirroring the structure of the existing
`create_stream_policy`.
It includes the necessary schema and database migrations to migrate
the is_announcement_only boolean field to stream_post_policy,
a smallPositiveInteger field similar to many other settings.
This change is done to allow organization administrators to restrict
new members from creating and posting to a stream. However, this does
not affect admins who are new members.
With many tweaks by tabbott to documentation under /help, etc.
Fixes#13616.
Closes#13484.
These options tell zulip whether to prefer the plaintext or html version
of the email message. prefer-text is the default behavior, so including
the option doesn't change anything as of now, but we're adding it to
prepare to potentially change the default behavior in the future.
This experimental setting disables sending private messages in Zulip
in a crude way (i.e. users get an error when they try to send one).
It makes no effort to adjust the UI to avoid advertising the idea of
sending private messages.
Fixes#6617.
For new user onboarding, it's important for it to be easy to verify
that Zulip's mobile push notifications work without jumping through
hoops or potentially making mistakes. For that reason, it makes sense
to toggle the notification defaults for new users to the more
aggressive mode (ignoring whether the user is currently actively
online); they can set the more subtle mode if they find that the
notifications are annoying.
Adds required API and front-end changes to modify and read the
wildcard_mentions_notify field in the Subscription model.
It includes front-end code to add the setting to the user's "manage
streams" page. This setting will be greyed out when a stream is muted.
The PR also includes back-end code to add the setting the initial state of
a subscription.
New automated tests were added for the API, events system and front-end.
In manual testing, we checked that modifying the setting in the front end
persisted the change in the Subscription model. We noticed the notifications
were not behaving exactly as expected in manual testing; see
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/13073#issuecomment-560263081 .
Tweaked by tabbott to fix real-time synchronization issues.
Fixes: #13429.
* Moves "Management commands" to a top-level section.
* Moves "Scalability" as a subsection at the bottom of "Requirements".
* Moves "Monitoring" as a subsections at the bottom of "Troubleshooting".
* Replaces "API and your Zulip URL" with a link to REST API docs. This
documentation text has been irrelevant for some time.
* Removes maintain-secure-upgrade from the TOC but the file remains to
avoid breaking old links from release blog posts and emails.
This change makes it possible for users to control the notification
settings for wildcard mentions as a separate control from PMs and
direct @-mentions.
Merges the "Upgrades" section from production/maintain-secure-upgrade.md
with production/modifying-zulip.md.
Contains significant textual changes by tabbott to read more clearly.
- Merges the "Backups" section from production/maintain-secure-upgrade.md
with existing "Backups" section in production/export-and-import.md.
- Cleans up and makes content more clear/explicit.
- Adds short missing section on how to use wal-e configuration.
- Removes a lot of previously duplicate text explaining the difference between
the tools.
- Various textual tweaks by tabbott.
Fixes#13184 and resolves#293.
When a user performs a search that might contain historical public
streams messages that the user has access to (but doesn't because
we're searching the user's own personal history), we add a notice
above the first search result to let the user know that not all
messages may have been searched.
Fixes#12036.
These docs had a number of typos, and also didn't fully clarify how to
handle lists of integers for `pm-with`.
Also makes some tweaks to the user docs to make this clearer as well.
Fixes#13167.
Add ability to search entire message history of all public streams at
once. It includes all subscibed, non subscribed public streams messages
and even historical public stream messages sent before user had joined
an organization or stream.
Fixes#8859.
Delete trailing newlines from all files, except
tools/ci/success-http-headers.txt and tools/setup/dev-motd, where they
are significant, and static/third, where we want to stay close to
upstream.

That we are working to fix the caveats is implied by the (beta) label.
More generally, for /help articles, explanations, apologies, etc can go in a
section at the top, but the rest of the text should be a straightforward
description of the current state.
We're not sure this feature is the best solution to this category of
problem, in that use of this feature might cause spam to stick around
longer, vs features that encourage immediate deletion.
We were using these hollowed out arrows characters (⇽ , ⇾) in a few
places, these were inconsistent with the solid up and down arrow
characters (↑ , ↓) we use otherwise. This commit replaces them
everywhere in the codebase.
Tweaked by tabbott to briefly describe the reason for Zulip's default;
this rough description has been satisfying for many people who've
asked in the past on chat.zulip.org.
This lets us handle directly in our tooling the user experience that
we document for exporting a realm with member consent (before, it
required unpleasant manual work).
Jitsi Meet is the correct name for the product we integrate with. There is
one other reference to Jitsi, but it's in the db and will require a
migration.
This commit creates a new organization setting that determines whether
a user can invite other users to streams. Previously this was linked
to the waiting period threshold, but this was both not documented and
overly limiting.
With significant tweaks by tabbott to change the database model to not
involve two threshhold fields, edit the tests, etc.
This requires follow-up work to make the create stream policy setting
work how this code implies it should.
Fixes#12042.
Just updating this to no longer be incorrect; I expect we'll update this and
the rest of the Notifications section once we're done with the larger
notifications refactoring project.
This is in response to a support ticket where the user had a closed left
sidebar, had added an organization, and then couldn't figure out how to
switch organizations. They had googled and found "The desktop app makes it
easy to switch between different organizations" in our help docs, which was
not sufficiently helpful.
This renames references to user avatars, bot avatars, or organization
icons to profile pictures. The string in the UI are updated,
in addition to the help files, comments, and documentation. Actual
variable/function names, changelog entries, routes, and s3 buckets are
left as-is in order to avoid introducing bugs.
Fixes#11824.
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.
