We consistently either pass a `then_select_id` into narrow.activate,
or were using the select_first_unread option. Now, we just compute
select_first_unread based on the value of then_select_id.
In the very early days of Zulip, we didn't have unread counts; just
the pointer, and the correct behavior when opening a new tab was to
place you near the pointer. That doesn't make any sense now that we
do have unread counts, and this corner case has been a wart for a long
time.
This commit does the main behavior change here. However, there's a
bug we need to fix, where we might end up trying to pre-render a view
of the narrow based on the `all_msg_list` data before `all_msg_list`
is caught up). We need to fix that bug before we can merge this; it
should be possible to determine that using `FetchStatus` on
`all_msg_list`, or with better performance by using the `unread_msgs`
structure to determine whether the message we should be selecting is
present locally.
Fixes#789.
Fixes#9070.
Apparently, we were incorrectly passing through something related to
opts.use_initial_narrow_pointer as the value for `use_first_anchor`.
If you read the logic in narrow.js carefully,
use_initial_narrow_pointer was unconditionally false.
The correct value for this attribute is when we're trying to narrow to
the first unread message in a given context. There are two things to
check:
* then_select_id is -1; i.e. we don't have a specific message ID we're
trying to narrow around.
* select_first_unread is True, i.e. we're trying to narrow to the
first unread message.
A bit more work should allow us to get rid of the second condition,
but I'm not quite confident enough to do that yet.
The refactor in 12509515ae had a subtle
bug, which is that we switched from accessing the message list "this"
(aka the message list being rerendered) to current_msg_list. This
meant that when the narrowed_msg_list was in view and code needed to
modify home_msg_list, we accessed the wrong `selected_row` to preserve
the scroll position of (namely, the one in current_msg_list, not the
one in home_msg_list).
Fix this, by moving the function to be a property of the
message_list_view object, which makes more sense structurally, anyway.
We may, in the future, want to do a similar migration for more of
message_viewport.js.
Fixes#8854.
Fixes#8965.
Mark_message(s)_as_read is used in marking a message as having been
read by the browser, rename it to notify_server_message(s)_read to
avoid any confusion.
Previously, when unnarrowing, we were calling this on the wrong
selector (this was missed years ago when we refactored Zulip to use
divs rather than table rows in the main message feed).
Noticed while debugging #5312.
We now attach a fetch_status to message lists, so that they
can track their fetch status individually. When you go
back in a narrow and get all the older messages, we turn
off future fetches.
The narrow.js code no longer needs to orchestrate anything
here. The "home" message list won't have as many redundant
fetches after this commit, because we don't need to reset
flags every time we do `narrow.deactivate`.
And then actual narrows get a new message list every time
you narrow, so their fetch status gets reset implicitly
as part of constructing the MessageList object.
We are going to remove message_fetch.reset_for_narrow() soon,
but its callers probably still want to hide any scrolling
indicators, and we just let them do that directly.
This helps us consolidate the fetching constants without
having to export them. It will also remove some
responsibility for narrow.js to track fetching state.
This mostly moves code from ui.js.
We change the arguments to `message_fetch.load_more_messages()`
to be `opts` with callbacks for `show_loading` and `hide_loading`.
We also defer starting the scroll handler until `message_fetch.js`
has been initialized.
This works simimlar to the "n" key for next topics.
This commit does a few things:
* It wires up the hotkey to an existing function
that could change narrows.
* It adds documentation.
* It adds logic to make sure the compose box does
not open.
@showell helped a bit with the wording of comments here.
Fixes#4874
This commit prefixes stream names in urls with stream ids,
so that the urls don't break when we rename streams.
strean name: foo bar.com%
before: #narrow/stream/foo.20bar.2Ecom.25
after: #narrow/stream/20-foo-bar.2Ecom.25
For new realms, everything is simple under the new scheme, since
we just parse out the stream id every time to figure out where
to narrow.
For old realms, any old URLs will still work under the new scheme,
assuming the stream hasn't been renamed (and of course old urls
wouldn't have survived stream renaming in the first place). The one
exception is the hopefully rare case of a stream name starting with
something like "99-" and colliding with another stream whose id is 99.
The way that we enocde the stream name portion of the URL is kind
of unimportant now, since we really only look at the stream id, but
we still want a safe encoding of the name that is mostly human
readable, so we now convert spaces to dashes in the stream name. Also,
we try to ensure more code on both sides (frontend and backend) calls
common functions to do the encoding.
Fixes#4713
This helper function will allow us to cycle through PM narrows
that are unread, once we map it to a hotkey and/or other UI.
(We intend to make something like the "n" key for topics, but
that works on PM narrows instead.)
We made this change because users often unnecessarily click "Home"
first in their use of Zulip, because it seems appealing. While "All
messages" isn't quite precise (it doesn't include muted streams), it
does describe relatively simply the interleaved view that this
represents.
This commit leaves everything as "home" in the code, and only changes
user-visible strings and docs. Changing the code will be a big project;
there are hundreds of relevant occurrences in variable names, etc.
Further, we'll probably want to convert those various variable names
in different ways.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the commit message and update a few comments.
This allows user to view all group private conversation messages
with a specific user. That is, it views all the the group private
messages from groups which include the given user.
Add search suggestion for group-pm-with. Add operator name
and description in "Search operators" tab.
Add change in tab name to "Group Messages" when using this operator.
Add frontend_tests for group-pm-with search operator.
Fixes: #3882.
We now use similar code for A/D hotkeys as we do for the "n"
key.
The old code was using jQuery operations that got tripped up
by our splitters between active and inactive streams.
Fixes#4569
Here are the functions in top_left_corner:
get_global_filter_li: pure code move
update_count_in_dom: simplifed copy of similar function in stream_list.js
update_dom_with_unread_counts: pure code move, split out from function
of same name in stream_list.js
delselect_top_left_corner_items: pure code move
handle_narrow_activated: pure code move + rename
handle_narrow_deactivated: pure code move, split out from from function
of smae name in stream_list.js
Previously, when you switched to a stream narrow with the central
message outside the range of messages cached in the browser, we would
reset the UI for loading more messages, but not actually reset the
state for whether it should be possible.
This seems to have been an oversight in refactoring back in 2014.
Fixes#6109.
The narrowing option from_reload was only used in
conjunction with use_initial_narrow_pointer, but the
latter option already takes into account whether a
reload happened.
This fixes a regression where we removed a call to
unread_ops.process_visible() inside of stream_list.js. Now
we call it from within narrow.activate() in the the
maybe_select_closest() callback.
The function modals.is_active() can see if modals are open
without having to look at the DOM. This should make it snappier
to type in the compose box. Even if the speedup is pretty minor,
not having to worry about jQuery slowness should make it easier
to diagnose future compose box issues.
The new function gets used in other places, too, where performance
isn't so much an issue.
Despite the length of this commit, it is a very straightforward
moving of code from narrow.js -> narrow_state.js, and then
everything else is just s/narrow.foo()/narrow_state.foo()/
(with a few tiny cleanups to remove some code duplication
in certain callers).
The only new functions are simple setter/getters that
encapsulate the current_filter variable:
narrow_state.reset_current_filter()
narrow_state.set_current_filter()
narrow_state.get_current_filter()
We removed narrow.predicate() as part of this, since it was dead
code.
Also, we removed the shim for narrow_state.set_compose_defaults(),
and since that was the last shim, we removed shim.js from the app.
This commit extracts the method compose_actions.on_narrow()
to handle changing the compose box (as appropriate) after
any narrowing action.
This change should be mostly non-user-facing, but it's not
exactly a trivial extraction.
For the case where the user already had content in their
compose box, we continue to leave the compose box alone,
but we now update compose fading 150+ lines later in
narrow.activate().
Likewise, for cases where we cancel composing, this will
also happen later in the function.
Finally, for PM narrows, where we auto-open the compose box, we
no longer call compose.cancel() before calling compose.start(),
because either a) the compose box would have not been open
in the first place or b) the start() function can handle
clearing the old fields.
