This will allow realm admins to remove others from private stream to
which the realm administrator is not subscribed; this is important for
managing those streams, because previously nobody could remove users
from private streams that didn't have any realm administrators
subscribed.
This will allow realm admins to access subscribers of unsubscribed
private stream. This is a preparatory commit for letting realm admins
remove those users.
This will allow realm admins to update the names and descriptions of
private streams even if they are not subscribed, which fixes the buggy
behavior that previously nobody could(!).
The main point of this change is to streamline the core
code for input pills, and we use also modify user groups.
The main change to input_pill.js is that you now
configure a function called `create_item_from_text`, and
that can return an arbitrary object, and it just needs
a field called `display_value`.
Other changes:
* You now call `input.create(opts)` to create the
widget.
* There is no longer a cache, because we can
write smarter code in typeahead `source` functions
that exclude ids up front.
* There is no value/optinalKey complexity, because
the calling code can supply arbitrary objects and
do their own external data management on the pill
items.
* We eliminate `prependPill`.
* We eliminate `data`, `keys`, and `values`, and just
have `items`.
The summary already has a qualifier that basically says it shouldn't
matter for most people -- making it simultaneously the most
complicated bullet there, and among the least likely to matter.
And in fact, this requirement shouldn't matter for *anyone* when first
experimenting with Zulip. If certbot won't work in a given admin's
environment, and the available ways to get a cert aren't convenient,
they can always let the installer generate a self-signed cert to get
going, and circle back to the issue later.
So, make that option clear in the main requirements text, and then
just cut the whole bullet from the summary.
This further reduces the wall of text on the install instructions.
Simultaneously it lightens up the pressure on this summary to be quite
so terse; expand a couple of items into multiple bullets (yet with
fewer words!) for greater readability.
Now down to just 4 steps!
This version tries to prioritize: just two items that we really want
all admins to look at even if they aren't already mentally committed
to running a big production service and reading all the docs.
Namely, the two required in order to really try out Zulip effectively
with one's colleagues.
The screenshots weren't doing much good without being embedded in the
text... and in fact, looking at them for I think the first time,
they're badly out of date with the app. So cut them.
We might add screenshots later, but on the other hand if we do a good
job with the forms themselves, they should be superfluous.
This further shortens the wall of text inside the instructions.
Note that thanks to embedded reST, we now have the power to provide
custom anchors at section headings! Which in particular means this
link won't break if we later tweak the wording of this heading.
This helps shorten the wall of text between the start of the
instructions and the end. Conversely, now that there are fewer
followup steps, the troubleshooting section at the end isn't so
far away to point.
This flips the experimental `--express` option to be the default.
We retain the old behavior, where the script exits before
`initialize-database`, as an option `--no-init-db`; it might be useful
in e.g. a migration scenario (from a Zulip install elsewhere, or
another chat system) where the admin wants to set up the database
separately.
The install instructions are adjusted to match, getting shorter by two
steps and a bunch of words. I think this opens up opportunities to
refactor the text to simplify things further, too, but leaving that
for another commit.
Also tweak the "production" test suite to match.
This didn't really make much sense - it presented a quickstart summary
of the instructions as an item in the list of differences from the
Ubuntu case, plus that quickstart only incorporated one of the two
actual differences so it didn't work anyway. Given the networking
stuff, an actual quickstart isn't in the cards, so just cut that.
Also fix some small things while we're here.
From here on we start to authenticate uploaded file request before
serving this files in production. This involves allowing NGINX to
pass on these file requests to Django for authentication and then
serve these files by making use on internal redirect requests having
x-accel-redirect field. The redirection on requests and loading
of x-accel-redirect param is handled by django-sendfile.
NOTE: This commit starts to authenticate these requests for Zulip
servers running platforms either Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) or above.
Fixes: #320 and #291 partially.
Update version of Vagrant from 1.8.6 to 2.0.2.
Update version of VirtualBox from 5.1.8 to 5.2.6.
We needed to update Vagrant because older versions have networking
problems on modern Macs, resulting in weird `apt` errors when
provisioning.
Commit message and some text tweaked by tabbott.
This commit also adds a tool to push translation sources to Transifex.
This tool makes sure that we don't push mobile source file. Mobile
source file is supposed to be handled from Zulip-Mobile repo.
This quiets the last of the warnings that Sphinx was giving us about
documents not being in any toctree, now that we've explicitly told it
with `:orphan:` about the documents we intentionally don't link there.
Now that we have `eval_rst` and can explicitly exclude pages from the
toctree completely, we no longer need to set `includehidden`, and we
can return to using upstream's template.
(Meanwhile, our feature request upstream was successful! See
rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme#485, which upstream implemented just a week
after we requested it. So that would have been another option.)
This reverts commit 11b8b8f48 "docs: Add rtd layout template."
This is what the Sphinx docs recommend when you actually don't want
the page to be included in navigation:
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/toctree.html
And now that we have `eval_rst`, we're able to take advantage of it!
One difference between doing this and the old way of making "hidden"
toctree entries is that with the latter, the "previous" and "next"
links at the bottom of each page would thread through the hidden
entries; which gets kind of confusing when they don't appear in the nav.
The careful testing with dozens of realms was a discrete thing
that happened, not a general state that the tool was in;
certainly not the last state it was known to be in, as the rest
of the sentence explains how it hasn't been so carefully tested
since then. So "as of" doesn't fit.
This is easy now, so make it known to admins who are looking for a
fast path for a test install.
Also totally cut the painfully complicated steps for generating a
self-signed cert by hand. Anyone who actually wants that can find a
hundred explanations on the Web, or can look at our script if they
want to specifically mirror how we do it (which is mercifully much
simpler than this.)
Take the core of the logic from how Debian generates the system's
/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem ; that gives me more confidence
in the various config choices, and it also demonstrates a much cleaner
way to use the `openssl` tool. Also replace the outer shell logic for
CLI and logging with a cleaner version.
This allows us to selectively use some of the powerful features of
ReST which Python projects with high-quality documentation (like
Python core, and Django) rely on.
It's now January 2018, so we can delete this caveat, right?
Not quite yet -- the original post we link to now has an
update saying 2018-02-27. Let's make it less specific,
in case the date changes again.
Bulleted information instead of prose, huzzah! Also I think we need
to explain the options a bit right here, or at least link to where
they're documented somewhere. (If the list gets much longer, we'll
want to shift toward the latter.)
Also reorganize existing information a bit, and clean up a couple
of nits.
What I really want is to give these sections nice stable slugs
to put on the anchors and use as the URL fragment, independent of
any wording tweaks on the text headings. But I don't think we
have that feature with Markdown and our current docs infrastructure.
At least for Certbot, the brevity helps make this heading clearer
than the previous one.
Hopefully this version makes it somewhat clearer how the different
methods relate to each other, how to choose between them, what
`ZulipRemoteUserBackend` is for, and how the latter works.
Previous versions of these links were removed earlier today because
Docker upstream had broken them.
To see what the links had been intended to point to, I used the
Wayback Machine (web.archive.org/web), the super-handy project of the
Internet Archive. These are the current equivalents.
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.
Sphinx was displaying "WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree"
for files we just don't want in the TOC. We can hide them from the index,
but the rtd theme defaults to display hidden index entries in the nav bar.
This commit excludes these files from such warnings, and patches layout.html
so that hidden index entries stay hidden from the navigation sidebar.
This commit also moves password-strength.md under docs/production and
adds it as a hidden entry in production/index.rst.
Fixes#7417.
The readthedocs theme overrides a few settings in their layout template.
We might want to change some settings back to their default values.
This commit copies the original readthedocs layout file from
https://github.com/rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme/blob/master/sphinx_rtd_theme/layout.html
to _templates/layout.html, and excludes it from lint and template checks.
Addresses #7417.
This doesn't touch the main path through the install docs; that will
see a broader rewrite soon as we make outbound email optional for a
nascent server, make the hostname and admin email into mandatory
installer flags, and then radically simplify the instructions by
removing mandatory editing of `settings.py` and folding most of what's
left into the installer.
This commit renames various source requirements files like `dev.txt`,
`mypy.txt` etc to `dev.in`, `mypy.in` etc and various locked requirements
files like `dev_lock.txt`, `mypy_lock.txt` etc to `dev.txt`, `mypy.txt`
etc. This will help in emphasizing to the user that *.in are actually
input to `update-locked-requirements` tool which should be run after
updating any of these.
