Instead of using setInterval to call send_presence_to_server
repeatedly, we now simluate setInterval using setTimeout.
This change helps us to avoid the condition likely related to resume
from suspend, when the browser tries to catch up by running a large
number of "missed" copies of the setInterval hook, causing the server
to rate-limit the client.
Fixes#23438.
Fixes#23517.
While this feature was added to Zulip very early, it has been troubled
for most of that time; it never looked great visually, had a lot of
implementation complexity around resize.js, and has a weird model (a
setting that changes the UI only in certain window sizes).
This option is not commonly used; while a significant portion of users
have it enabled, many of them just don't use window sizes where it
actually has an effect. So it's not clear that it will be missed if
removed; we got very few bug reports when it was completely broken for
a few days after we first integrated the new left sidebar private
messages design.
Even with it no longer being broken, it does not work very well with
the addition of the new PMs section in the left sidebar. (Having two
scrollbars in the sidebar looks quite awkward.) The new private
messages section in the left sidebar also addresses some of the use
cases for always keeping the Users list always visible, even in narrow
windows.
This option is only removed from frontend for now. To make this
decision easily reversible, the backend code of this feature
is still kept.
Fixes#23284
The basic approach used by `text-area-edit` is same as we were
using, so there is no real change. There are some nice checks
in `text-area-edit` which we don't do that helps us avoid
common bugs.
This commit refactors the code for realm message retention
setting to make it more similar to code for other time-limit
realm settings. There are still separate functions for the
message retention setting but they are similar to that of
other time-limit settings and can probably help us to
deduplicate the code in future. This refactor also helps
us in reusing some code for stream message retention
setting for changes in #23013.
This commit also fixes a bug where save-discard widget
not being hidden when resetting the setting to original
value. This can only be reproduced when the original
setting value is "retain_forever".
Following changes have been done in this commit -
- Added data-setting-widget-type attribute which is set to
"message-retention-setting" similar to "time-limit" value for
message edit and delete limit settings.
- Added get_message_retention_setting_value function similar
to get_time_limit_setting_value function which is used by
get_input_element_value.
- Removed "message-retention" block from
get_complete_data_for_subsection and the message retention
setting is now added to request data in populate_data_for_request
itself using data-setting-widget-type attribute.
- Updated id and class of elements to support the above changes.
Showing section separators in the left sidebar ("Pinned streams",
"Active streams", etc.) is unnecessary when there is only one section,
and can feel confusing. We should show the separators only when there
is more than one section present.
Fixes#22843.
Instead of using "these people", we use "these users".
Note that the "pm-with" single user case has already been updated
to show the user's full name instead of "this person".
Private messages between a user and a bot are not restricted by
the organization's policy setting for sending private messages.
So, for the empty banner text, we set the default title for
a single bot for the "pm-with" narrow.
Group private messages that include a bot are restricted by
this policy setting, so those messages stay the same.
Also, since bot's aren't people, we update the text for valid
"pm-with", "sender" and "group-pm-with" operands to include the
user's full name in the title.
When there are multiple people in the "pm-with" narrow, we still
send a generic "these people" message instead of listing all the
users in the narrow.
Finally, we make the default message end in a period instead of
an exclamation mark.
For narrows that focus on private messages ("is:private", "pm-with",
"group-pm-with"), we want to check the organization private message
policy and set an empty narrow title that matches that policy.
For these narrows with invalid users, we prioritize that message
for the empty narrow title, instead of the private message policy
message.
Fixes#21889.
If an organization has disabled sending private messages, we do not
want to load the compose box automatically for "pm-with" narrows.
We still open the compose box for private messages narrows with a
single bot user as this is not limited by this organization setting.
Also, if the compose box was active/started in a narrow with a bot
user, but had no content, then we want to close/cancel that in a
new narrow with a person or group.
We used to hide and show topic rows in the DOM when topics are
updated. This resulted in incorrect calculations in the length of
visible topics. As a consequence, focus is sometimes set to hidden topic.
Removing hidden topics from DOM helps us keep
the calculations correct.
The fixes bugs related to focus being lost when trying to mute
or mark as read the last row.
Instead of topic filter box being a part of the list when keeps
updating, we move it out and fix its position.
This should reduce rendering time of topics list and provide
a smoother experience to users when waiting for topics list to
load.
The previous check looked at whether the settings overlay as a whole
was open, not whether the specific panel we're going to update was
rendered.
The other code paths calling from server_events_dispatch into this
module already correctly check meta.loaded.
When "group-pm-with" is the first operator and setting an empty
narrow banner, check that the operand matches a user and set the
title based on whether the user exists or not.
Updates the `filter.get_title` logic to return the list of users
for narrows that include the pm_with and near operators. That way
the browser/tab title remains the same for these views.
This change is made so that we are not accessing the global page_params
directly. Note that we also rename unread_msgs to params to match other
modules that follow this pattern.

This setting provides a more ergonomic experience when viewing a
message where only a small number of emoji reactions are present; you
no longer need to hover over the reaction to see who reacted, which is
often quite important to understanding what it means.
We added this setting (visible in the development environment only,
and implemented on mobile) a few months ago; so to complete this
feature, we just need to add the frontend rendering/live update logic
and publish it.
As documented in the code comments, the current rule is "messages with
3 or fewer reactions" for which messages will display the names of the
users reacting.
The previous set_reaction_count API made sense when the display of a
given reaction was a pure function of its data. However, we will soon
be making it a function of the total number of reactions on the
message.
Thus, view functions to update reaction display now need to call a
shared update_vote_text_on_message function in all code paths, even
code paths like "add the first vote for a reaction" and "remove the
sole vote of a reaction" which previously did not need to call
set_reaction_count.
Fixes#20890.
Since stream header is now sticky, we need to reduce it's height
when calculation position of the element we want to scroll into view
so that it doesn't hide under the sticky header.
This commit introduces the change of rendering private messages
section as collapsible, whose data-fetching logic came with zulip#21357.
We now have separated out `Private messages` from `top_left_corner`
section and shifted it below the `global_filters` in a different
separate section along with stream list with common scroll bar
in left-sidebar.
The new PM section will be opened by-default on loading the page
and will have a toggle-icon in its header, clicking on which makes the
section collapse/expand accordingly.
In default view, only recent 5 PM threads would be shown
and would append the active conversation as the 6th one at last
if not present in those 5, similar to how topics list work.
In PM section with unreads, a maximum of 8 conversations
would be shown and rest of them would be hidden behind
the 'more conversations' li-item, clicking on which takes
to the zoomedIn view of PM section where all the present
PM threads would be visible and rest of the sections of left-sidebar
will get collapsed.
Fixes#20870.

Removes call to reset_compose_message_max_height when clicking on
the markdown preview button, which due to the `#compose` div element
momentarily shrinking to be empty, caused the calculation of the
max-height to grow larger on each click.
Also refactors reset_compose_message_max_height to use the height
from `getBoundingClientRect`, which defaults to zero when empty.
And fixes a small discrepancy in how max-height is applied to
a div element vs a textarea element, so that the visible height
doesn't change between the preview and write modes in the compose
box.
Fixes#23277.
Updates the hash used for the recent conversations view to be
"#recent" instead of "#recent_topics".
We will need to keep the logic for handling "#recent_topics"
permanently because users potentially have messages from
Welcome Bot with links to that hash.
Including "recent_topics" as a web_public_allowed_hash in
hash_util.js can be changed once self-hosted servers cannot
upgrade directly to Zulip 5.x from the current version.
Fixes#23132.
The resize handler is a somewhat expensive operation, which we'd like
to avoid when processing the receipt of new messages. It's also
unclear why it would be necesssary; bottom_whitespace is fixed in
size, and the sidebars.
It should be very rare to discover new unread messages during a
message_fetch call. This can potentially happen due to races (fetching
just as a new message arrives), but it shouldn't be the common case.
Previously, we would trigger a full rerender of all UI displaying
unread messages every time a bulk message fetch operation returned
(including every time one narrowed), regardless of whether any actual
state had changed.
Fix this by actually checking if we discovered any new unread messages.
Because we can count on the unread.js data structures to be correct,
we no longer need this legacy code that tries to re-process all
messages the client has cached for whether any are present in the
target stream and marked as unread.
It's not clear we need this at all, since the current Zulip server
will mark all messages as read when unsubscribing from a stream, but
having this call protects us from future bugs should that behavior
change.
This cleanup also revealed a possible bug, where we would fail to
update global unread counts properly when unsubscribing from a stream
until the deferred_work queue processor sends us the
update_message_flags event associated with that change.
We change the "pm-with" and "sender" narrow urls
to be of "{user-id}-{encoded_name}" form instead
of using email. This change improves performance
of changing between PM views since parseOneAddress
function was slow and we remove its usage now by
using name instead of email.
The name is encoded such that the characters that
would be encoded by the browsers are replaced by
"-".
We should not show UI for moving locally echoed or failed messages.
For the edit/move icon in message controls -
- After 2451002, we showed "Move message" icon for locally echoed
messages when moving messages was allowed as per org permissions.
This was clearly a bug and this commit fixes it and we instead
show "View source" icon.
For "m" hotkey -
- After 2451002, pressing "m" opened "Move messages" modal for
locally echoed messages when moving messages was allowed as per
org permissions. This was clearly a bug and this commit fixes it
and pressing "m" does nothing.
For pencil icon in recipient header -
- Previously, the pencil icon was showed even if first message
below the recipient bar was locally echoed and the topic edit
failed silently with locally echoed or failed messages again
showing under old topic after reload. This commit fixes it
to hide the icon in such cases. The original behavior was
that server returned an error with not so appropriate
response.
- Note that we can only check the first message below the header
since it will be inefficient to check all the messages whether
each of them is successfully sent.
And in such cases when any of the later messages is locally
echoed, the topic edit succeeds but the locally echoed or failed
messages are shown under old topic after reload.
- The behavior is same for the "checkmark" icon for resolving
topics in the header.
For three-dot message menu -
- We don't need to do anything here since the three-dot icon
is not shown for locally echoed or failed messages.
For the "Move topic" option in topic popover in left sidebar -
- We cannot do anything here since it will be inefficient
to check all messages in the topic whether they are locally
echoed or not everytime we open the popover.
- If the first message in topic is locally echoed or a failed
message, then the id of first message of the topic returned
from server is undefined and we see an error in client while
trying to get message from that id. And if one or multiple of
the later messages is locally echoed, then only successful and
server-acked messages are moved.
Note that this cannot handle all cases like a user can use
a successfully sent message to access the topic edit UI
and then choose "change_all" and "change_later" propagate
modes. In such cases the locally echoed and failed messages
will remain in the old topic only.
We now do not test is_topic_editable function in
get_editability test for better readability and
this will be helpful when we will need to test
more cases as part of #21739.
This fixes a couple significant issues with the drafts logic:
* Previously, we would move drafts even when !going_forward_change; this
is inconsistent with the compose box logic on the previous line.
* The drafts.rename_topic() function did not handle drafts with
incomplete stream/topic fields correctly, throwing an exception in
that case; this resulted in user-visible live update problems
because code after the drafts.rename_topic call would not be
executed.
Replaces instances of "recent topics" in the web-app and documentation
to be "recent conversations".
Renames both `recent-topics.md` files in the help center to be
`recent-conversations.md` and updates/redirects links to new URL.
Does not update instances of "recent topics" in frontend code comments
and does not update the main overview changelog, for now.
Does not change case study text where "recent topics" was referenced
in a quote, but does change generic text references to be "recent
conversations".
Fixes#22984
Add an `@` icon in unread topics where user is mentioned.
We track a new set of `stream_id:topic` pairs for the unread mentions
so that recent topics instantly knows if a topic is unread and mentioned
or not.
Previously, we allowed editing topic of "no topic" message, when other
conditions were not met, only from recipient bar but it is allowed
irrespective of other condtions. This commit fixes it to show the
"Move message" option and icon for "no topic" messages irrespective
of other conditions.
Previously, NO_LONGER type was just used to display
the text in the bottom-right of message edit form
which we have removed now, so we can remove `NO_LONGER`
type now.
Sets a default value of "Search results" for complicated narrow search
views and updates logic to use `filter.get_title` as a helper to
generate better titles for some common search views.
Does not update the existing behavior for narrow searches that have
"pm-with" or "group-pm-with" operators.
Note as of this change, the default search title and titles generated
from `filter.get_title` will be translated into the user's preferred
language.
Fixes#22952.
Updates `filter.get_title` to return 'undefined' for any narrow
with a search operator. Previously it would return a title if
the search operator was paired with a common narrow, but those
results were not being used when building the message view
header and will not be used for setting the browser title.
Prep commit for rewriting `update_narrow_title` to use
`filter.get_title` as a helper for setting browser title text.
When the narrow/search for a stream is undefined because either the
stream does not exist or the user is not subscribed to the private
stream, format the title that's used in the message view header to
include the stream name that was searched for.
Prep commit for rewriting `update_narrow_title` to use
`filter.get_title` as a helper for setting browser title text.
Updates default title for `streams:public` narrow to be
"Messages in all public streams".
Prep commit for rewriting `update_narrow_title` to use
`filter.get_title` as a helper for setting browser title text.
In `filter.get_title`, add cases for the two missing "is" operators,
"alerted" and "unread".
Prep commit for rewriting `update_narrow_title` to use
`filter.get_title` as a helper for setting browser title text.
This commit adds private messages to the Recent topics view, to make
it an all-encompassing overview of recent activity visible to the user.
We add a filter "Include PM" to toggle whether PMs should be shown in
recent topics.
