If some bug in Bugdown results in a rendered message content that is
bigger than twice the message size, we now just throw an exception
from Bugdown. This is considerably better than the old behavior,
which might result in an enormous message being placed in the database
(potentially, bigger than the 1MB limit to store in memcached), which
would in turn result in tragic consequences.
This fixes#8322, in that it prevents the super bad outcome seen there
(where basically Zulip became unusable for everyone on the stream
where the message is posted). Now, the failure mode is just the
message failing to send. Still not ideal (and requires further work
on the URL embed feature), but not a minor problem, not a major one.
Adds a check for newline that was present on backend, but missing in the
frontend markdown implementation. Updating messages uses is_me_message flag
received from server instead of its own partial test. Similarly, rendering
previews uses markdown code.
Fixes#6493.
This also amends a commit from Brock Whittaker <brock@zulipchat.com>
that merges two separate functions for YouTube videos and Vimeo videos
into a generic video recall function.
Fixes#7550.
Hides URL if the message content == image url so that sending gifs or
images feels less cluttered. Uses the url_to_a() function to generate
the expected url string for matching.
Fixes#7324.
Appends "Test: " text to some tests to make changes to the image preview
rendering. In the future, if the message is only a link to an image,
the link will be hidden.
Generally emails are not written with markdown in mind and hence
sometimes render in strange ways. This commit fixes a particular
issue that was causing whitespace before paragraphs to be treated
as code block due to which email content was being rendered in a
box that scrolls in right direction a lot.
Fixes: #7045.
This adds the data model and bugdown support for the new UserGroup
mention feature.
Before it'll be fully operational, we'll still need:
* A backend API for making these.
* A UI for interacting with that API.
* Typeahead on the frontend.
* CSS to make them look pretty and see who's in them.
This commit switches to use sprite sheets for rendering emojis
in all the remaining places, i.e., message bodies and composebox
typeahead. This commit also includes some changes to notifications.py
file so that the spans used for rendering emojis can be converted
to corresponding image tags so that we don't break the emoji rendering
in missed message emails since we can't use sprite sheets there.
As part of switching the bugdown system to use sprite sheets, we need
to switch the name_to_codepoint mappings to match the new sprite
sheets. This has the side effect of fixing a bunch of emoji like
numbers and flag emoji in the emoji pickers.
Fixes: #3895.
Fixes: #3972.
We now triage message content for possible mentions before
going to the cache/DB to get name info. This will create an
extra data hop for messages with mentions, but it will save
a fairly expensive cache lookup for most messages. (This will
be especially helpful for large realms.)
[Note that we need a subsequent commit to actually make the speedup
happen here, since avatars also cause us to look up all users in
the realm.]
There is no reason for either render_incoming_message() or
render_markdown() to require full UserProfile objects just to
triage alert words.
By only asking for user_ids, we save extra queries in two
callpaths and we make it easier to start using user_ids in
do_send_messages().
Given typeahed and the fact that this only worked if the person had a
full name that didn't contain whitespace, this side effect of the
original @shortname mentionfeature that we removed was experienced by
users as a bug.
Fixes#6142.
Process the unicode emojis in twitter link previews and render them
properly. Before this we were not processing the unicode emojis in
twitter link previews and hence on the systems which don't have
fonts for displaying them they were rendered as blank boxes.
Fixes: #5427.
Unicode emojis when rendered should display canonical short name.
Similarly, the alt text should be of the format `:<short_name>:`.
For both of these we currently display the actual unicode symbol.
As some systems don't have the fonts necessary for displaying them
properly, they are rendered as empty square blocks. This commit also
ensures that the markup generated for emoji generated by canonical
name and by an unicode emoji is same.
Fixes: #5555.
We used shortnames for mentioning users before we had autocomplete
feature. Since we now have autocomplete typeahead, this syntax is
no more useful and just causes problems. This commit removes the
shortname mention syntax.
Fixes: #4189.
