Previously, this wasn't an explicit feature of the export tool.
Note that the current version still includes metadata on private
streams and private message recipients, just not their messages.
This fixes an issue where passing a path like `~/exports/foo` would
result in a `~` directory being created and the export/import not
working correctly.
ScheduledJob was written for much more generality than it ended up being
used for. Currently it is used by send_future_email, and nothing
else. Tailoring the model to emails in particular will make it easier to do
things like selectively clear emails when people unsubscribe from particular
email types, or seamlessly handle using the same email on multiple realms.
The MitUser table was removed in df525ad.
confirm_mituser.html could have been accessed through the last few lines of
confirmation/views.py:
templates.insert(0, 'confirmation/confirm_%s.html'
% (obj._meta.model_name,))
The commit message on df525ad suggests there was another way
confirm_mituser.html could have been called, but I don't currently see
evidence for it in the code.
This system hasn't been in active use for several years, and had some
problems with it's design. So it makes sense to just remove it to declutter
the codebase.
Fixes#5655.
This better sets expectatations for the fact that in Zulip, the
Organization settings UI is available read-only to non-administrator
users.
Tweaked by tabbott to update some additional references.
Finishes the refactoring started in c1bbd8d. The goal of the refactoring is
to change the argument to get_realm from a Realm.domain to a
Realm.string_id. The steps were
* Add a new function, get_realm_by_string_id.
* Change all calls to get_realm to use get_realm_by_string_id instead.
* Remove get_realm.
* (This commit) Rename get_realm_by_string_id to get_realm.
Part of a larger migration to remove the Realm.domain field entirely.
We no longer have an in-process code path to export
UserMessage rows. We want to only maintain the
subprocess code, which we'll always use in production,
and which will work fine in dev.
The previous export tool would only work properly for small realms,
and was missing a number of important features:
* Export of avatars and uploads from S3
* Export of presence data, activity data, etc.
* Faithful export/import of timestamps
* Parallel export of messages
* Not OOM killing for large realms
The new tool runs as a pair of documented management commands, and
solves all of those problems.
Also we add a new management command for exporting the data of an
individual user.
