The previous explanation of generic bots was inaccurate.
This page needs a lot more cleanup, but this at least fixes the
clearest inaccuracies.
Fixes#19978.
Previously, users found it annoying that the automated "Resolve topic"
notifications triggered an unread for everyone in the stream; this
discouraged some users from using the feature on older threads for
fear of being annoying. We change this to a better default, of only
users who participated in the topic (via either messages or reactions)
being eligible for the new message being unread.
We will likely want to create global and stream-level notifications
settings to control this behavior as a follow-up -- some users, like
me, might prefer the simpler "Always unread" behavior in some streams.
Note that the automated notifications that a topic was resolved will
still result in the topic being moved to the top of the left sidebar.
This would be somewhat difficult to change, since the left sidebar
algorithm just looks at the highest message ID in the topic.
Fixes#19709.

In English, compound adjectives should essentially always be
hyphenated. This makes them easier to parse, especially for users who
might not recognize that the words “web public” go together as a
phrase.

We recently changed /developer-community to /development-community.
Now that this change is in production, we can also migrate the
external links in our ReadTheDocs documentation.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
These were added at some point in the past, but were not complete, and
it makes sense to document the current feature level as and when they
become available, since clients should not use the drafts endpoints on
older feature levels.
This commit updates the documentation to mention that
only owners can change who can send invitations.
We also add the newly added "Nobody" option for this
setting in the documentation.
This API change removes unnecessary complexity from a client that
wants to change a user's personal settings, and also saves developers
from needing to make decisions about what sort of setting something is
at the API level.
We preserve the old settings endpoints as mapping to the same function
as the new one for backwards-compatibility. We delete the
documentation for the old endpoints, though the documentation for the
merged /settings endpoint mentions how to use the old endpoints when
needed.
We migrate all backend tests to the new endpoints, except for
individual tests for each legacy endpoint to verify they still work.

Currently, the "Home" link at the top takes one to the doc root,
i.e., /help or /api. This is a little misleading since "Home"
seems to be more synonymous with the Zulip homepage.
This commit adds a proper backlink to the top logo that takes you to
the homepage and renames "Home" to be more specific. The text after
"|" will now take you to the doc root instead (/help or /api). Note
that this allows us to link the /help and /api pages from the
homepage while ensuring that backlinks allow the visitor to get back
to the homepage.
The presence setting is more suited in 'Account & privacy'
section as it is not related to notifications in anyway
and resembles privacy of user by allowing user to hide
his status of being online.
The user timezone is only used for user's profile, so we can
move this setting to the Profile panel of settings and this
will also help us in covering some space when there are no
custom profile fields for the organization.
This commit fixes the documentation of settings as we have
replaced "Your account" section into two new sections -
"Profile" and "Account & privacy".
This commit also fixes a comment in the test for settings
documentation in test_middleware.py.
This commit addresses @timabbott 's comments, by adding a new article
"Move content to another topic".
Thanks to the new article, I also simplified a step from the "Rename a
topic" article to keep it focused on renaming only.
* Move content on moving topics between streams to a dedicated
article. We advertise it as "move content" to hint that one can move
messages or split topics, and link to it.
* This deletes change-the-topic-of-a-message, because the same content
is already covered in rename-a-topic.
* This commit mostly just moves content between articles. Most of that
content was redundant with the first few paragraphs of the surviving
"rename a topic" article. The former "This is useful for" se ntence
was adapted to the remaining article.
* This commit also adds a redirect for the removed article, and
updates related links.
After adding owner role, we allow last admin to deactivate
but not allow the last owner to deactivate, and this commit
fixes the warning about not allowing last admin.
This isn't the best writing, but it'll help us remember to cover these
details when we do a major pass on this article after adding upcoming
status changes.
The Hubot project looks to be abandoned; it hasn’t been updated in
years and its own installation instructions don’t work anymore.
Remove our special placement of Hubot alongside Zapier and IFTTT.

This commit updates the docs as the setting for invites
is separated into two UI elements - a checkbox for
'are invites required to join organization' and a
dropdown for setting 'who can invite new users'.
The message-editing section of settings is moved from "Organization
Settings" to "Organization Permissions", which feels like a more
natural place for these settings.
Because our mention logic now has a way to distinguish a user with one of these
weird names from a wildcard mention, we no longer need this explicit warning.
(It'd still be a bit confusing, but no more so than various other weird names you could
invest).
The command:
codespell --skip='./locale,*.svg,./docs/translating,postgresql.conf.template.erb,.*fixtures,./yarn.lock,./docs/THIRDPARTY,./tools/setup/emoji/emoji_names.py,./tools/setup/emoji/emoji_map.json,./zerver/management/data/unified_reactions.json' --ignore-words=codespell_ignore_words.txt .

We don't want to claim something so strong as the first of this text,
because the mutee can still guess that they have been muted if the
muter suddenly starts completely ignoring messages, especially PMs.
But this framing is better in retaining the perspective as you.
We use styling same as that of the number shown for overflow
(e.g "+3") which has a gray background.
To keep these avatars up-to-date, we need to rerender the
recent topics view after receiving a `muted_users` event.
Also update the user documentation to mention this detail.
We deliberately avoid mentioning "recent topics" because
this applies to mobile too.
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.
In 215320bc72, we added the typeahead for
the `pygments_name` field which helped lookup the human-readable
`pretty_name`. However, we forgot to remove the workaround method
mentioned in the docs to lookup the name before the typeahead was
introduced.
As we change the icon for Group PMs in #18160, the docs related
to it is now outdated. This commit removes the documentation part
that is outdated from status-and-availability section.
* 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.
