Tweaked by tabbott to move most of the content into the remote
development documentation, both for brevity in the main docs as well
as clarity.
Fixes#10694.
We drop support for usage of `icon-vector` as base class when
including icons from font awesome icons package.
Now on, only icons as specified in font awesome v4.7.0 can be used
in the code base.
Surprisingly hard to find a good base example of a user doc. This one should
at least give the basic pointer to sidebar_index.md and where the new file
goes.
In particular, this improves:
* The explanation of how data is mapped into Zulip
* The explanation of what is printed out by `manage.py query_ldap`
* Makes sure users create their first account with EmailAuthBackend.
The term "username" confusingly refers both to the Django concept of
"username" (meaning "the name the user types into the login form") and
a concept the admin presumably already has in their existing
environment; which may or may not be the same thing, and in fact this
is where we document the admin's choice of whether and how they should
correspond. The Django concept in particular isn't obvious, and is
counterintuitive when it means something like an email address.
Explicitly explain the Django "username" concept, under the name of
"Zulip username" to take responsibility for our choice of how it's
exposed in the settings interface. Then use an explicit qualifier,
like "LDAP username", whenever referring to some other notion of
username. And make a pass over this whole side of the instructions,
in particular for consistent handling of these concepts.
Expand on a few things that tend to confuse people (especially the
`%(user)s` thing); move the `LDAPSearchUnion` example out to docs;
adjust the instructions to fit a bit better in their new docs/ home.
This makes it easier to iterate on these, and to expand supplemental
information (like troubleshooting, or unusual configurations) without
further straining the already-dauntingly-long settings.py.
It also makes it easier to consult the instructions while editing the
secrets file, or testing things, etc. -- most admins will find it more
natural to keep a browser open somewhere than a second terminal.
Fixes part of #10297.
Use FAKE_LDAP_NUM_USERS which specifies the number of LDAP users
instead of FAKE_LDAP_EXTRA_USERS which specified the number of
extra users.
There are several situations in which we want to create a Customer and
stripe.Customer object before we really have a billing relationship with a
customer. The main one is giving non-profit or educational discounts.
