We used to add sharpen filter for all the image sizes whereas it was
intended for resized images only which would have been smoothened
out a bit by the resize operation.
This unnecessary use of the filter used to result in weird issues
with full size images.
For example: Image located at this url:-
http://arqex.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/trees.png
When rendered in full size would have just boundaries visible.
This is a preparatory commit which will help us with removing camo.
In the upcoming commits we introduce a new endpoint which is based
out on the setting CAMO_URI. Since camo could have been hosted on
a different server as well from the main Zulip server, this change
will help us realise in tests how that scenerio might be dealt with.
We seemed to have been doing too much of sharpening on the thumbnails.
The purpose of sharpening here was to just counter the softening
effects of a resize on an image but overdoing it is bad.
Value sharpen(0.5,0.2,true) seems to look good for achieving the
best results here on different displays as revealed in the manual
hit and trial based testing.
Thanks to @borisyankov for pointing out the issue and suggesting
the values.
In this commit we fix a bug due to which url preview images for urls
to custom emojis, realm icons or user avatars appeared broken when
such urls would be part of a Zulip message.
This is a preparatory commit to fix a bug in which a user posts
a link of custom emoji, user avatar or realm icon in a Zulip
message.
In this commit we are just adjusting the url generation in the
backend to have the '/user_uploads/' in the encrypted url generated
which the user is supposed to be redirected to and therefore
essentially reaching thumbor with the encrypted url.
This is necessary because 'user_uploads' and 'user_avatars' (or any
other item under 'user_avatars' endpoint) have a different folder
location under the local file storage backend. 'user_uploads'
endpoint's stuff is stored in a 'files' directory whereas stuff
'user_avatars' endpoint's stuff is stored in a 'avatars' directory.
Thumbor needs to know from which directory a particular local file
needs to be retrieved and therefore the zthumbor/loaders.py adds
a prefix location for the directory.
Since in an upcoming commit we are going to add user_avatars
directory location 'avatars' folder as a prefix this preparatory
commit helps simply doing the changes.
Now reading API keys from a user is done with the get_api_key wrapper
method, rather than directly fetching it from the user object.
Also, every place where an action should be done for each API key is now
using get_all_api_keys. This method returns for the moment a single-item
list, containing the specified user's API key.
This commit is the first step towards allowing users have multiple API
keys.
Various pieces of our thumbor-based thumbnailing system were already
merged; this adds the remaining pieces required for it to work:
* a THUMBOR_URL Django setting that controls whether thumbor is
enabled on the Zulip server (and if so, where thumbor is hosted).
* Replaces the overly complicated prototype cryptography logic
* Adds a /thumbnail endpoint (supported both on web and mobile) for
accessing thumbnails in messages, designed to support hosting both
external URLs as well as uploaded files (and applying Zulip's
security model for access to thumbnails of uploaded files).
* Modifies bugdown to, when THUMBOR_URL is set, render images with the
`src` attribute pointing /thumbnail (to provide a small thumbnail
for the image), along with adding a "data-original" attribute that
can be used to access the "original/full" size version of the image.
There are a few things that don't work quite yet:
* The S3 backend support is incomplete and doesn't work yet.
* The error pages for unauthorized access are ugly.
* We might want to rename data-original and /thumbnail?size=original
to use some other name, like "full", that better reflects the fact
that we're potentially not serving the original image URL.
