This page isn't polished properly and I'm not sure it's the best
decision tree here, but it's definitely better to have this page than
not, and we can always adjust forward.
Fixes#10033.
We've completed the production performance testing that had been
blocking us from advertising this feature, so we're declaring the
feature implemented by documenting it.
As of this commit, you need to edit fields using `manage.py shell` to
configure it and manually configure the cron job, but those should be
addressed in the next few days.
Fixes#106.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
