As noted in the /help/ docs, this feature isn't fully implemented yet.
However, it's useful to merge this documentation, which explains how the
feature will work, to help make sure we've thought through all the details
around how this feature should work and be presented to users as we
plan to final changes to implement it.
This commit does not edit other help pages to reflect the existence of
web public streams.

This change is intended to reduce confusion between zulip-bot-shell
(test bots interactively without a server) and the zulip/zulip-terminal
project and its associated command (zulip-term).
This commit renames "Automatic" option in color scheme setting
dropdown to "Sync with compute". We do not change any variables
used in code just the text in the dropdown visible to user.
Fixes part of #20228.
We restrict access of messages from web public streams if
anonymous login is disabled via `enable_spectator_access`.
Display of `Anonymous login` button is now controlled by
the value of `enable_spectator_access`.
Admins can toggle `enable_spectator_access` via org settings in UI.
This helps increase the probability that folks read the guidelines for how the
chat.zulip.org community works and what streams to use before arriving there.
Fixes#19827.
We had an incident where someone didn't notice for a week that they'd
accidentally enabled a 30-day message retention policy, and thus we
were unable to restore the deleted the content.
After some review of what other products do (E.g. Dropbox preserves
things in a restoreable state for 30 days) we're adjusting this
setting's default value to be substantially longer, to give more time
for users to notice their mistake and correct it before data is
irrevocably deleted.
OneLogin has removed the old app. The new app is nearly identical, just
with some additional configurable settings, that we don't want to touch
anyway as the default are fine - and changing the default Parameters
that are set up, so we also update the screenshot to match how it looks
with the new app.
The user id is a very useful piece of information that the mobile
client should have access to - instead of only getting the email. This
makes it much simpler to impleent clients that might be robust to
changes in email address.
Note from tabbott: It's not clear we want fundamentally dynamic
corporate website elements like this jobs page to be in zulip/zulip,
but there's even less reason for there to be an out-of-date copy there.
Previously, our codebase contained links to various versions of the
Django docs, eg https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/
request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest and https://
docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-SERVER_EMAIL
opening a link to a doc with an outdated Django version would show a
warning "This document is for an insecure version of Django that is no
longer supported. Please upgrade to a newer release!".
Most of these links are inside comments.
Following the replacement of these links in our docs, this commit uses
a search with the regex "docs.djangoproject.com/en/([0-9].[0-9]*)/"
and replaces all matches with "docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/".
All the new links in this commit have been generated by the above
replace and each link has then been manually checked to ensure that
(1) the page still exists and has not been moved to a new location
(and it has been found that no page has been moved like this), (2)
that the anchor that we're linking to has not been changed (and it has
been found that no anchor has been changed like this).
One comment where we mentioned a Django version in text before linking
to a page for that version has also been changed, the comment
mentioned the specific version when a change happened, and the history
is no longer relevant to us.
Generally when we send confirmation emails to addresses the user has
not already proven that they control, we want to avoid including in
the email any user-controlled data. Doing so makes it hard for
malicious actors to use the feature to send spam, since they won't
have a way to include the URL for their malicious website in our
emails.
This links to the release lifecycle documentation and is a bit more
explicit about how to use this.
Probably further improvement would be useful as well.
This commit adds functionality to import messages from the
Discussions having direct channels as their parent. As we don't
have topics in the PMs, the messages are imported in interleaved
form in the imported direct channels/PMs.
This was completely unsupported earlier and would have resulted in
an error.
Add `escape_navigates_to_default_view` as a bool setting in
UserBaseSettings model and implement it as a checkbox that toggles
the hotkey implementation of escape to the default view in the
advanced user display settings.
With /help/ documentation edits from Alya Abbott.
Fixes#20043.
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.
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
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.
It is confusing to have the plan type constants not be namespaced
by the thing they represent. We already have a namespacing
convention in place for constants, so we should use it for
Realm.plan_type as well.
* Remove unnecessary json_validator for full_name parameter.
* Update frontend to pass the right parameter.
* Update documentation and note the change.
Fixes#18409.
Oops, I have a couple of changes here:
1) Adding a "Create user groups" section to the new org guide.
2) Moving a tip out of how-to-invite-users-to-join.md, so that I
can reuse that section in the Zulip for clases guide I'm working
on without having the tip in it.
This will be useful to let users enable/disable
sharing read receipts once we add that feature.
Note: Added "I've" to IGNORED_PHRASES in
tools/lib/capitalization.py to avoid capitalization
errors for the label text of this setting.
Note: These are not functional in enabling/disabling sending of
typing notifications with this commit.
Refactored the privacy settings update to keep the code less
duplicated along with making the addition of new settings easier.
For users who are not logged in and for those who don't have
'prefers_web_public_view' set in session, we redirect them
to the default login page where they can choose to login
as spectator or authenticated user.
This commit adds create_web_public_stream_policy
field to Realm table which controls the roles that
can create web-public streams and by default its
value is set to POLICY_OWNERS_ONLY.
This fixes the issue where 'None' would appear in the rendered
html in case of a missing tab display_name. Now,
'test-help-documentation' will fail in case of any tab display_name
being missing.
In case of a tab_section with no tabs, currently a single tab with
the name 'null_tab' gets added. Added the display name 'None' for
'null_tab', to keep in line with the existing behaviour.
Fixes#19822
Users wanted a feature where they could specify
which users can create public streams and which users can
create private streams.
This splits stream creation code into two parts,
public and private stream creation.
Fixes#17009.
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.
We make zero invalid value for message_content_delete_limit_seconds and
for handling the case of "Allow to delete message any time", the API-level
value of message_content_delete_limit_seconds is "anytime" and "None"
as the DB-level value. We also use these values for message retention
setting, so it helps maintain consistency.
A recent commit removed the "Thanks for you request!" at the start
of the find accounts email. As Alya Abbott pointed out, this line
actually helps us point out to the user that they are the ones who
requested the email in the first place, lowering the chances that
they'll misinterpret it as spam.
This is a follow-up to issue #19659.
Apparently, our slack compatible outgoing webhook format didn't
exactly match Slack, especially in the types used for values. Fix
this by using a much more consistent format, where we preserve their
pattern of prefixing IDs with letters.
This fixes a bug where Zulip's team_id could be the empty string,
which tripped up using GitLab's slash commands with Zulip.
Fixes#19588.
This commit removes the existing default_twenty_four_hour_time field in
Realm table which was used to set the twenty_four_hour_time setting of
new user on joining and instead we now use the twenty_four_hour_time
field of RealmUserDefault table for the same.
With some tweaks by tabbott to clarify the documentation.
We allow clients to make existing streams web public via the API.
This feature is still disabled via settings in production
environments, because we may have additional policy rules or UI
warnings we wish to add to this sort of conversion.
User can now create web public stream via the /subscribe API.
So, when a web public stream present in the API request does not
exist, it will be created now by specifying the is_web_public
parameter. The parameter would have been ignored without this
commit.
The previous heading was one size too small, and thus was easily
missed when visually skimming for the information.
Additionally, give it a more natural label.
Currently we used to redirect to /new when the user click on buy
standard from the root domain. Instead we redirect to /upgrade page.
The /upgrade page redirect would ask user to enter the subdomain
of their organization and would then redirect them to /upgrade
page of their organization.
This better matches the title of the page and more generally our
conventions around naming /help/ articles. We include a redirect
because this is referenced from Welcome Bot messages, and we
definitely don't want those links to break.
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.
Now, when we add a custom animated emoji to the realm
we also save a still image of it (1st frame of the gif). So
we can avoid showing an animated emoji every time.
SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN was potentially very confusing when opened by a
user, as it had various Login/Signup buttons as if there was a realm on
it. Instead, we want to display a more informative page to the user
telling them they shouldn't even be there. If possible, we just redirect
them to the realm they most likely came from.
To make this possible, we have to exclude the subdomain from
ROOT_SUBDOMAIN_ALIASES - so that we can give it special behavior.
This commit adds do_set_realm_user_default_setting which
will be used to change the realm-level defaults of settings
for new users.
We also add a new event type "realm_user_settings_defaults"
for these settings and a "realm_user_settings_default" object
in '/register' response containing all the realm-level default
settings.
On zulipchat.com we use SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN='auth', meaning
python-social-auth backend flows go through auth.zulipchat.com rather
than staying on the original subdomain.
This commit adds `demo_organization_scheduled_deletion_date` to
the `realm` section of the `/register` response so that it is
available to clients when enabled.
This is a part of #19523.
On our Markdown help docs, ordered lists that aren't encapsulated
in tabs don't have custom CSS that tells them how to display
themselves with proper indentation. An example of a doc that has
this issue is /help/saml-authentication. This commit adds some CSS
that targets such ordered lists.
We will use this modal for any narrow / hash or other UI element that
requires an actual account to use, to provide something reasonable to
occur when a user clicks on those things.
We ideally will also add a /help/ page explaining these with an
example, but it seems appropriate to make the labels frame it around
what sort of emails we actually intend to send (newsletters with
updates about Zulip, not a "drip campaign").
This is a prep commit for adding UI for realm-level defaults
of user settings.
This commit renames notification-sound-audio element to
user-notification-sound-audio because we will be adding similar
element for realm-level default of user settings also.
We also change the child elements to have current id as their
class for the same reason.
This commit indicates that the realm_message_retention_days field can have
a special value, similar to its stream counterpart, and also explains how
the special value changed over different server versions.
With an extension from tabbott to double-enter the changelog entry.
Related discussion: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/378-api-design/topic/realm_message_retention_days
We ran into a bug in production caused by two issues:
- Some users came from orgs that didn't have a website and since
the URL field was required, they submitted invalid URLs.
- We didn't properly respond to invalid form submissions, which
led to UnboundLocalError exceptions in another part of the
code.
This commit solves this by doing the following:
- We now allow blank URLs and have a convenient placeholder text
label that tells users that they may leave the URL field blank.
- This commit refactors the code such that invalid form submissions
result in an informative error message about what exactly went
wrong.
These changes are all independent of each other; I just didn’t feel
like making dozens of commits for them.

This commit updates both the stream-level and realm-level message
retention setting to use 'unlimited' instead of 'forever' to set
message retention setting to "retain messages forever".
We rework the landing page for companies in the same way we've
recently revamped the landing pages for other use cases.
This implementation unfortunately duplicates a lot of content from
/plans; we should clean that up at some point.
