We now attach a fetch_status to message lists, so that they
can track their fetch status individually. When you go
back in a narrow and get all the older messages, we turn
off future fetches.
The narrow.js code no longer needs to orchestrate anything
here. The "home" message list won't have as many redundant
fetches after this commit, because we don't need to reset
flags every time we do `narrow.deactivate`.
And then actual narrows get a new message list every time
you narrow, so their fetch status gets reset implicitly
as part of constructing the MessageList object.
We are going to remove message_fetch.reset_for_narrow() soon,
but its callers probably still want to hide any scrolling
indicators, and we just let them do that directly.
This helps us consolidate the fetching constants without
having to export them. It will also remove some
responsibility for narrow.js to track fetching state.
This mostly moves code from ui.js.
We change the arguments to `message_fetch.load_more_messages()`
to be `opts` with callbacks for `show_loading` and `hide_loading`.
We also defer starting the scroll handler until `message_fetch.js`
has been initialized.
This works simimlar to the "n" key for next topics.
This commit does a few things:
* It wires up the hotkey to an existing function
that could change narrows.
* It adds documentation.
* It adds logic to make sure the compose box does
not open.
@showell helped a bit with the wording of comments here.
Fixes#4874
This commit prefixes stream names in urls with stream ids,
so that the urls don't break when we rename streams.
strean name: foo bar.com%
before: #narrow/stream/foo.20bar.2Ecom.25
after: #narrow/stream/20-foo-bar.2Ecom.25
For new realms, everything is simple under the new scheme, since
we just parse out the stream id every time to figure out where
to narrow.
For old realms, any old URLs will still work under the new scheme,
assuming the stream hasn't been renamed (and of course old urls
wouldn't have survived stream renaming in the first place). The one
exception is the hopefully rare case of a stream name starting with
something like "99-" and colliding with another stream whose id is 99.
The way that we enocde the stream name portion of the URL is kind
of unimportant now, since we really only look at the stream id, but
we still want a safe encoding of the name that is mostly human
readable, so we now convert spaces to dashes in the stream name. Also,
we try to ensure more code on both sides (frontend and backend) calls
common functions to do the encoding.
Fixes#4713
This helper function will allow us to cycle through PM narrows
that are unread, once we map it to a hotkey and/or other UI.
(We intend to make something like the "n" key for topics, but
that works on PM narrows instead.)
We made this change because users often unnecessarily click "Home"
first in their use of Zulip, because it seems appealing. While "All
messages" isn't quite precise (it doesn't include muted streams), it
does describe relatively simply the interleaved view that this
represents.
This commit leaves everything as "home" in the code, and only changes
user-visible strings and docs. Changing the code will be a big project;
there are hundreds of relevant occurrences in variable names, etc.
Further, we'll probably want to convert those various variable names
in different ways.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the commit message and update a few comments.
This allows user to view all group private conversation messages
with a specific user. That is, it views all the the group private
messages from groups which include the given user.
Add search suggestion for group-pm-with. Add operator name
and description in "Search operators" tab.
Add change in tab name to "Group Messages" when using this operator.
Add frontend_tests for group-pm-with search operator.
Fixes: #3882.
We now use similar code for A/D hotkeys as we do for the "n"
key.
The old code was using jQuery operations that got tripped up
by our splitters between active and inactive streams.
Fixes#4569
Here are the functions in top_left_corner:
get_global_filter_li: pure code move
update_count_in_dom: simplifed copy of similar function in stream_list.js
update_dom_with_unread_counts: pure code move, split out from function
of same name in stream_list.js
delselect_top_left_corner_items: pure code move
handle_narrow_activated: pure code move + rename
handle_narrow_deactivated: pure code move, split out from from function
of smae name in stream_list.js
Previously, when you switched to a stream narrow with the central
message outside the range of messages cached in the browser, we would
reset the UI for loading more messages, but not actually reset the
state for whether it should be possible.
This seems to have been an oversight in refactoring back in 2014.
Fixes#6109.
The narrowing option from_reload was only used in
conjunction with use_initial_narrow_pointer, but the
latter option already takes into account whether a
reload happened.
This fixes a regression where we removed a call to
unread_ops.process_visible() inside of stream_list.js. Now
we call it from within narrow.activate() in the the
maybe_select_closest() callback.
The function modals.is_active() can see if modals are open
without having to look at the DOM. This should make it snappier
to type in the compose box. Even if the speedup is pretty minor,
not having to worry about jQuery slowness should make it easier
to diagnose future compose box issues.
The new function gets used in other places, too, where performance
isn't so much an issue.
Despite the length of this commit, it is a very straightforward
moving of code from narrow.js -> narrow_state.js, and then
everything else is just s/narrow.foo()/narrow_state.foo()/
(with a few tiny cleanups to remove some code duplication
in certain callers).
The only new functions are simple setter/getters that
encapsulate the current_filter variable:
narrow_state.reset_current_filter()
narrow_state.set_current_filter()
narrow_state.get_current_filter()
We removed narrow.predicate() as part of this, since it was dead
code.
Also, we removed the shim for narrow_state.set_compose_defaults(),
and since that was the last shim, we removed shim.js from the app.
This commit extracts the method compose_actions.on_narrow()
to handle changing the compose box (as appropriate) after
any narrowing action.
This change should be mostly non-user-facing, but it's not
exactly a trivial extraction.
For the case where the user already had content in their
compose box, we continue to leave the compose box alone,
but we now update compose fading 150+ lines later in
narrow.activate().
Likewise, for cases where we cancel composing, this will
also happen later in the function.
Finally, for PM narrows, where we auto-open the compose box, we
no longer call compose.cancel() before calling compose.start(),
because either a) the compose box would have not been open
in the first place or b) the start() function can handle
clearing the old fields.
We now auto-open the compose box whenever somebody narrows to
a "pure" PM narrow. We already did this for buddy list clicks,
so this make it work the same for other ways of narrowing to
PM conversation. Here, we optimize for composing, vs. reading,
since PM conversations tend to have lots of back and forth.
(Contrast this to stream conversations, where there's a higher
likelihood of lurking or doing a quick narrow to re-read some
message from the stream.)
We don't want to auto-open the compose box for topic
sidebar clicks, because we want to convenience folks
reading messages, not writing messages, since on
stream narrows, people tend to do much more reading
than writing. (Also, opening the compose box explicitly
is super easy.)
The part of this change that affects behavior is that
we remove the call to compose_actions.start('stream').
Then the simplification is that we replace the checks
to narrowed_by_reply() and !narrowed_to_topic() with
a single call to narrowed_by_pm_reply().
Fixes#3886.
This fixes the mobile web experience for Chrome on iOS.
Apparently, Chrome-on-iOS silently has a `viewport` module that
overrides and user-defined module by that name, causing all of our
code that accesses the viewport module to not work on that platform.
We fix this by renaming it.
The slugs for PM-with narrows now have user ids in them, so they
are more resilient to email changes, and they have less escaping
characters and are generally prettier.
Examples:
narrow/pm-with/3-cordelia
narrow/pm-with/3,5-group
The part of the URL that is actionable is the comma-delimited
list of one or more userids.
When we decode the slugs, we only use the part before the dash; the
stuff after the dash is just for humans. If we don't see a number
before the dash, we fall back to the old decoding (which should only
matter during a transition period where folks may have old links).
For group PMS, we always say "group" after the dash. For single PMs,
we use the person's email userid, since it's usually fairly concise
and not noisy for a URL. We may tinker with this later.
Basically, the heart of this change is these two new methods:
people.emails_to_slug
people.slug_to_emails
And then we unify the encode codepath as follows:
narrow.pm_with_uri ->
hashchange.operators_to_hash ->
hashchange.encode_operand ->
people.emails_to_slug
The decode path didn't really require much modication in this commit,
other than to have hashchange.decode_operand call people.slug_to_emails
for the pm-with case.
This experiment has been disabled for everyone for a while: if we
bring something like this back, it is not likely to be exactly the same,
and will be different enough to require a different implementation.
As it is, the summarization code was making a few code paths (rendering
especially) more complex, and is worth removing for simplicity's sake.

Previously, we saved the current_msg_list selected id and then
restored it as the home_msg_list selected id, which could result in
the home view loading to the wrong place.
This takes some already bad code and makes it even more in need of
refactoring, but it does fix a pressing bug. We should definitely
refactor both:
* the top of narrow.js
* the save/restore code in reload.js
after this, though.
(imported from commit bb2040219e4f545ba90bb04a696996cec2831484)
This does have a small functional change of using use_closest even for
the current_msg_list.last().id case, but that's harmless; and it does
reduce a lot of code duplication and confusing logic here.
(imported from commit 7c4ecaa197120cc6d5c05ce4887f33c7d94a9c59)
This implementation is somewhat hackish in large part because I think
we're going to be wanting to redo the get_old_messages API somewhat
soon, and this may naturally become a lot cleaner as a result, but
this isn't a lot of code and fixes#2235 part (A) and substantially
mitigates #1510.

Even in the case where we are running embedded narrows,
we want narrow.operators() to return new-style operators
that you get with Filter objects, so that callees do
not need to support the legacy tuple format.
(imported from commit a6649881a926a2304e9f7cc8ca53b406e2c8828e)
Have narrow.activate() user filter.operators() to produce
operators that have operand/operator fields, so that its callees
don't need to be backward compatible with the tuple format.

Change the offset to hold of the selected message as an offset from the
top of the screen. Then use the current offset and scrollTop to compute
the new scrollTop.
