Also link to it from the API documentation page,
other help pages, and the confirmation dialog for
muting a user.
With substantial edits by tabbott and alya.
* Move the extended documentation of code blocks to a separate page.
* Merge "code playgrounds" documentation to be a section of that page.
* Document copy widget on code blocks.
* This commit changes how we refer to "```python" type syntax for code
blocks. Instead of being called a syntax highlighting label, this is
now referred to as a "language tag", since it serves both syntax
highlighting and playgrounds.
* Remap all the links.
* Advertise this new page in various places that previously did not have a link.
Linked the Help Center document in places like
- zulip.yaml (/events, /register/, realm/playgrounds,
/realm/playgrounds/{playground_id})
- /help/format-your-message-using-markdown (Linked to make
users reading the markdown code block style, aware of this
feature)
- /templates/settings/playground_settings_admin.hbs (Linked
as a reference to read more about playgrounds before
configuring one)
Also showcase the feature on /features and /for/open-source.
There was no proper documentation to guide user to request an integration.
The following changes documents the whole process and links it from the
`/integrations/` page making it visible to the end-user.
Fixes#7935
We use GIPHY web SDK to create popover containing GIFs in a
grid format. Simply clicking on the GIFs will insert the GIF in the compose
box.
We add GIPHY logo to compose box action icons which opens the GIPHY
picker popover containing GIFs with "Powered by GIPHY"
attribution.
TextField is used to allow users to set long stream + topic narrow
names in the urls.
We currently restrict users to only set "all_messages" and
"recent_topics" as narrows.
This commit achieves 3 things:
* Removes recent topics as the default view which loads when
hash is empty.
* Loads default_view when hash is empty.
* Loads default_view on pressing escape key when it is unhandled by
other present UI elements.
NOTE: After this commit loading zulip with an empty hash will
automatically set hash to default_view. Ideally, we'd just display
the default view without a hash, but that involves extra complexity.
One exception is when user is trying to load an overlay directly,
i.e. zulip is loaded with an overlay hash. In this case,
we render recent topics is background irrespective of default_view.
We consider this last detail to be a bug not important enough to block
adding this setting.
As of Feb 15th 2019, Hipchat Cloud and Stride
have reached End Of Life and are no longer
supported by Atlassian. Since it is almost 2 years
now we can remove the migration guides.
This commit moves the wildcard mentions documentation to a top-level page.
Edited by tabbott to deduplicate with the existing docs, and add cross-links.
Zulip Desktop version 5.3.0 only supported adding custom certificates
inside the application. Starting in version 5.4.0, it also supports
reading from the system certificate store; in the next release (likely
5.5.0) the support for the internal store will be removed.
Document the change, and add explicit instructions on how to add
certificates into the system store on each of the operating systems.

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.
These are now subsumed by compose-and-reply. Probably we'll want to write a
"PMs and Group PMs" doc at some point so that we have something if people
search for whether Zulip has Group PMs.
