Tim Abbott 5dd8fbdf19 help: Clarify descriptions of public/private streams.
Most important is adding the icons to help users understand the
recipients of the stream, but we also use clearer language that better
matches that present in the user interface.

Alya Abbott 7494115b2a user docs: Update documentation following up on #20039. 2021-10-22 13:45:45 -07:00
Lauryn Menard 0d0b4eb9d4 documentation_api: Deduplicate ignored_parameters_unsupported.
Created a schema for the ignored_parameters_unsupported that is
returned by the /settings and /realm/user_settings_defaults endpoints
and removed the duplicated text in the api documentation.

Also cleaned up some small errors in the /realm/user_settings_default
definition and sidebar link /api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults.

Fixes #19674

Mateusz Mandera 068dd6bdae docs: Tweak Keycloak SAML instructions.
Keycloak docs say:

https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-docker
```
By default there is a single realm in Keycloak called master. This is
dedicated to manage Keycloak and should not be used for your own
applications.
```

Thus we should change what we assume the Keycloak realm to be to avoid
assuming as a default a practice
that Keycloak disourages.

can reuse that section in the Zulip for clases guide I'm working
on without having the tip in it.

sahil839 909a3cde76 realm: Replace allow_message_deleting with delete_own_message_policy.
This commit replaces 'allow_message_deleting' boolean setting
with an integer setting 'delete_own_message_policy'. We have a
separate dropdown now for deciding which user-roles can delete
messages sent by themselves and the time-limit setting droddown
is different.

This new setting has two options - everyone and admins only. Other
options including moderators will be added further.

We also remove the "Never" option from the original time-limit
dropdown, as admins are always allowed to delete message. This
never option resembled the case of only admins being allowed to
delete but this state is now resembled by setting the dropdown
to "admins only" and we also disable the time-limit dropdown in
this case as admins are allowed to delete irrespective of limit.

Note, this setting is only for deleting messages sent by the
deleting user themselves, and only admins are allowed to delete
messages sent by others as before.

Mateusz Mandera d1d0e484ea docs: Fix Entity ID values in instructions in saml-authentication.md.
The Entity ID for zulipchat.com is `https://zulipchat.com` currently.
Some of these errors happened in the big zulipchat->zulip rename commit
71078adc50, then it was repeated in
10d356d2de and there was also some
confusion when coming up with the instructions for Keycloack in
10d356d2de. Client-ID value in Keycloack
is the expected Issuer for SAMLRequests and thus needs to match our
Entity ID.

Tim Abbott 256091dc15 settings: Merge settings API endpoints.
This API change removes unnecessary complexity from a client that
wants to change a user's personal settings, and also saves developers
from needing to make decisions about what sort of setting something is
at the API level.

We preserve the old settings endpoints as mapping to the same function
as the new one for backwards-compatibility. We delete the
documentation for the old endpoints, though the documentation for the
merged /settings endpoint mentions how to use the old endpoints when
needed.

We migrate all backend tests to the new endpoints, except for
individual tests for each legacy endpoint to verify they still work.

Eeshan Garg 5a94bfcb88 docs: Add proper backlink to the homepage from /help and /api.
Currently, the "Home" link at the top takes one to the doc root,
i.e., /help or /api. This is a little misleading since "Home"
seems to be more synonymous with the Zulip homepage.

This commit adds a proper backlink to the top logo that takes you to
the homepage and renames "Home" to be more specific. The text after
"|" will now take you to the doc root instead (/help or /api). Note
that this allows us to link the /help and /api pages from the
homepage while ensuring that backlinks allow the visitor to get back
to the homepage.

Abhijeet Prasad Bodas 9a64f741ec help: Clarify what muting means for the muted user.
We don't want to claim something so strong as the first of this text,
because the mutee can still guess that they have been muted if the
muter suddenly starts completely ignoring messages, especially PMs.

But this framing is better in retaining the perspective as you.

We use styling same as that of the number shown for overflow
(e.g "+3") which has a gray background.
To keep these avatars up-to-date, we need to rerender the
recent topics view after receiving a `muted_users` event.

Also update the user documentation to mention this detail.
We deliberately avoid mentioning "recent topics" because
this applies to mobile too.

Alex Vandiver ec12a6128a scripts: Add a start-server as well.
In general, `./scripts/restart-server` will already work in any
circumstance where the server is already stopped and needs to be
started.  However, it will output a couple minor warnings, and it is
not readily obvious that it *will* work correctly.

Add an alias for `restart-server` named `start-server`, for
parallelism with `stop-server`, which omits the steps of
`restart-server` which would stop the server first.

Alex Vandiver 476524c0c1 scripts: Add a script to stop the server.
Using `supervisorctl stop all` to stop the server is not terribly
discoverable, and may stop services which are not part of Zulip
proper.

Add an explicit tool which only stops the relevant services.  It also
more carefully controls the order in which services are stopped to
minimize lost requests, and maximally quiesce the server.

Locations which may be stopping _older_ versions of Zulip (without
this script) are left with using `supervisorctl stop all`.
