Right now we have buttons for "New conversation" and "New private message"
in different views, but both buttons do the same thing.
The current state is confusing for new users, since there is already a lot
of terminology one needs to learn in order to understand the Zulip
conversation model. It's very plausible a user would think a "conversation"
is something different from a "private message" or a "topic".
This changes the "new private message" button to be instead "new
conversation" when looking at PMs, to avoid confusion that the button
was the right thing to do to reply to the current private message
conversation.
Fixes#11679.
This adds a function that controls the whole process of applying
markdown and displaying the markdown rendering preview on request;
This is required to avoid code duplication when adding preview feature
to message-edit UI.
This code will correctly add video call link to the message
textarea based on whether 'Add video call' was selected from
message composition form or message edit form.
The implementation was semi-rewritten by tabbott to remove an
unnecessary global variable, with fixes for the unit tests from
showell.
Fixes#11188.
Previously, messages with more than one line did not parse '/me' at
the beginning of the message. Since there's a reasonable way to
render multi-line messages, this commit adds support for doing so.
This change does potentially break with the expected behavior of other
slash commands, but it seems worth providing useful functionality over
a blind focus on consistency.
Fixes#11025.
The stream/topic edit areas now have these ids:
#stream_message_recipient_stream
#stream_message_recipient_topic
They are pretty verbose, but being able to grep
for these without noise does have some value.
Fixes#10124.
Users in the waiting period category cannot subscribe other users to
a stream. When a user tries to mention another unsubscribed user, a
warning message appears with a subscribe button on it to subscribe
the other user.
This commit removes the subscribe button and changes the warning text
for users in the waiting period category.
Instead of displaying a fixed error message inside the yellow bar itself,
now the yellow bar disappears on error and a red compose_error is shown.
The error message is the one returned from the server.
If a user is narrowed by `is:private`, `pm-with`, or `group-pm-with`,
change the `New topic` button to say `New stream message` instead for
added clarity.
Also, add to the Casper and Node tests for this behavior.
Fix#9072.
We can now theoretically use this for any textarea
that supports our markdown (besides the compose box),
plus we keep the RTL code a bit more self-contained.
This implements right-to-left message automatic detection support in
the compose box as well as the message feed. Full unit tests and
support in the message-editing UI are for future work (as are
potentially more fancy things like supporting things like
right-to-left multi-word names for users/streams/etc.).
Fixes#3123.
This commit prepares the frontend code to be consumed by webpack.
It is a hack: In theory, modules should be declaring and importing the
modules they depend on and the globals they expose directly.
However, that requires significant per-module work, which we don't
really want to block moving our toolchain to webpack on.
So we expose the modules by setting window.varName = varName; as
needed in the js files.
This adds a /ping command that will be useful for users
to see what the round trip to the Zulip server is (including
only a tiny bit of actual server time to basically give a
200).
It also introduce the "/zcommand" endpoint and zcommand.js
module.
Fixes#9373.
`not_subscribed` warning is not shown for bots on either private or public
streams. Some of the bots have an interface such that they receive the
message mentioning them even if on a private stream where they are not
subscribed.
Partially fixes#4708.
Implements a first version (v1) for the feature. The next step would be
to allow admins to toggle `is_announcement_only` in the UI.
This is preparation for enabling an eslint indentation configuration.
90% of these changes are just fixes for indentation errors that have
snuck into the codebase over the years; the others are more
significant reformatting to make eslint happy (that are not otherwise
actually improvements).
The one area that we do not attempt to work on here is the
"switch/case" indentation.
This function replaces part of compose_fade.would_receive_message(),
which has a real janky interface of returning true, false, or
undefined.
We don't need to couple the semantics of compose fading to whether
we help subscribe a mentioned user. They're mostly similar, but they
will probably diverge for things like bots, and the coupling makes
it difficult to do email -> user_id conversions.
One thing that changes here is that we get the stream name from
compose_state, instead of compose_fade.focused_recipient. The
compose_fade code uses focused_recipient for kind of complicated
reasons that don't concern us here.
