Creates `zerver.lib.url_redirects.py` to record old and new URLs
for documentation pages that have been renamed/moved and need URL
redirects.
This file is then used by `zproject.urls.py` to redirect links and
by `zerver.test.test_urls.py` to test that all of the old URLs
return a success response with a common page header/text depending
on the type of redirect (help center, policy, or API).
Adds a section to contributor docs on writing documentation for
how to use this redirect system when renaming a help center or api
documentation page.
Fixes#21946. Fixes#17897.
The only caller that passes the kwargs argument is the avatar rest_path.

Adds an API endpoint for accessing read receipts for other users, as
well as a modal UI for displaying that information.
Enables the previously merged privacy settings UI for managing whether
a user makes read receipts data available to other users.
Documentation is pending, and we'll likely want to link to the
documentation with help_settings_link once it is complete.
Fixes#3618.

If the emoji name contains forward slashes, the `str` converter
would treat it as a URL delimiter. Instead use the path converter, so
that forward slashes are included in the emoji name variable.
Fixes#22377
This is necessary for the mobile/terminal clients to build spectator
support down the line. We'll also be using it for the web application,
in an upcoming commit.
This commit adds 'GET /user_groups/{user_group_id}/members'
endpoint to get members of a user group. "direct_member_only"
parameter can be passed as True to the endpoint to get only
direct members of the user group and not the members of
subgroup.
This commit adds 'GET /user_groups/{id}/members/{id}' endpoint to check
whether a user is member of a group.
This commit also adds for_read parameter to access_user_group_by_id,
which if passed as True will provide access to read user group even
if it a system group or if non-admin acting user is not part of the
group.
The new release adds the commit:
20ac22b96d
Which allows us to get rid of the entire ugly override that was needed
to do this commit's job in our code. What we do here in this commit:
* Use django-scim2 0.17.1
* Revert the relevant parts of f5a65846a8
* Adjust the expected error message in test_exception_details_not_revealed_to_client
since the message thrown by django-scim2 in this release is slightly
different.
We do not have to add anything to set EXPOSE_SCIM_EXCEPTIONS, since
django-scim2 uses False as the default, which is what we want - and we
have the aforementioned test verifying that indeed information doesn't
get revealed to the SCIM client.
This replaces the TERMS_OF_SERVICE and PRIVACY_POLICY settings with
just a POLICIES_DIRECTORY setting, in order to support settings (like
Zulip Cloud) where there's more policies than just those two.
With minor changes by Eeshan Garg.
A confirmation link takes a user to the check_prereg_key_and_redirect
endpoint, before getting redirected to POST to /accounts/register/. The
problem was that validation was happening in the check_prereg_key_and_redirect
part and not in /accounts/register/ - meaning that one could submit an
expired confirmation key and be able to register.
We fix this by moving validation into /accouts/register/.
If realm is web_public, spectators can now view avatar of other
users.
There is a special exception we had to introduce in rest model to
allow `/avatar` type of urls for `anonymous` access, because they
don't have the /api/v1 prefix.
Fixes#19838.
As detailed in the comments, the default behavior is undesirable for us
because we can't really predict all possibilities of exceptions that may
be raised - and thus putting str(e) in the http response is potentially
insecure as it may leak some unexpected sensitive information that was
in the exception.
As a hypothetical example - KeyError resulting from some buggy
some_dict[secret_string] call would leak information. Though of course
we aim to never write code like that.
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.
This fixes error found with django-stubs and it is a part of #18777.
Note that there are various remaining errors that need to be fixed in
upstream or elsewhere in our codebase.
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 removes a bunch of non-functional duplicate JavaScript, HTML, and
CSS that was interfering with maintenance on the functional originals,
because it was never clear how to update the duplicates or how to
check that you’d updated the duplicates correctly.

These modern landing pages cover use cases previously not detailed on
our website. Technically, we had a /for/research page before, but it
wasn't finished or linked everywhere.
Removed "function-url-quotes" stylelint rule
since I need to use quotes in url to use an
svg as list bullet point. There are spacing issues
using it as an image. Also, using quotes in url
is actually the recommended way to do it otherwise
there could be issue with escaping.
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.

* 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.
Thumbor and tc-aws have been dragging their feet on Python 3 support

This commit adds an API to `zproject/urls.py` to edit/update
the realm linkifier. Its helper function to update the
database is added in `zerver/lib/actions.py`.
`zulip.yaml` is documented accordingly as well, clearly
stating that this API updates one linkifier at a time.
The tests are added for the API and helper function which
updates the realm linkifier.
Fixes#10830.
* This introduces a new event type `realm_linkifiers` and
a new key for the initial data fetch of the same name.
Newer clients will be expected to use these.
* Backwards compatibility is ensured by changing neither
the current event nor the /register key. The data which
these hold is the same as before, but internally, it is
generated by processing the `realm_linkifiers` data.
We send both the old and the new event types to clients
whenever the linkifiers are changed.
Older clients will simply ignore the new event type, and
vice versa.
* The `realm/filters:GET` endpoint (which returns tuples)
is currently used by none of the official Zulip clients.
This commit replaces it with `realm/linkifiers:GET` which
returns data in the new dictionary format.
TODO: Update the `get_realm_filters` method in the API
bindings, to hit this new URL instead of the old one.
* This also updates the webapp frontend to use the newer
events and keys.
This was used by the old native Zulip Android app
(zulip/zulip-android). That app has been undeveloped for enough years
that we believe it no longer functions; as a result, there's no reason
to keep a prototype API endpoint for it (that we believe never worked).
This endpoint was needed by the ancient pre-electron desktop app
written in QT; we removed support for that in practice a long time
ago, and even the custom error messages for it in
5a22e73cc6.
So we can delete this endpoint as well.
Similar to the previous commit, we have added a `do_*` function
which does the deletion from the DB. The next commit handles sending
the events when both adding and deleting a playground entry.
Added the openAPI format data to zulip.yaml for DELETE
/realm/playgrounds/{playground_id}. Also added python and curl
examples to remove-playground.md.
Tests added.
This endpoint will allow clients to create a playground entry
containing the name, pygments language and url_prefix for the
playground of their choice.
Introduced the `do_*` function in-charge of creating the entry in
the model. Handling the process of sending events which will be
done in a follow up commit.
Added the openAPI format data to zulip.yaml for POST
/realm/playgrounds. Also added python and curl examples for using
the endpoint in its markdown documented (add-playground.md).
Tests added.
Adds backend code for the mute users feature.
This is just infrastructure work (database
interactions, helpers, tests, events, API docs
etc) and does not involve any behavioral/semantic
aspects of muted users.
Adds POST and DELETE endpoints, to keep the
URL scheme mostly consistent in terms of `users/me`.
TODOs:
1. Add tests for exporting `zulip_muteduser` database table.
2. Add dedicated methods to python-zulip-api to be used
in place of the current `client.call_endpoint` implementation.
This is a prep change to eventually completely
replace the term "filter" with "linkifier" in
the codebase.
This only renames files. Code changes will be
done in further commits.
We're renaming "stream deletion" language to "stream archiving"
and these pages were moved in the process, so we should keep redirects
for them for a while.
This is part of our general process of replacing emails, which are not
static with time, with user_ids when referring to users in the API.
We still keep the `email` reference option, since it can be useful for
linking third-party applications to Zulip on an intranet that might
have a user's corporate email handy and not want to do the extra round
trip to lookup the user.
The name of the parameter, user_id_or_email, was chosen to to make it
clear that the default/preferred option is user_id.
Fixes#14304.
Add new rest api endpoint GET users/{email} for looking up a user by
email, which is useful especially for corporate API applications that
might already have a user's email address.
Fixes#14302.
As of Feb 15th 2019, Hipchat Cloud and Stride
have reached End Of Life and are no longer
supported by Atlassian. Since it is almost 2 years
now we can remove the migration guides.
We previously used to to redirect to config error page with
a different URL. This commit renders config error in the same
URL where configuration error is encountered. This way when
conifguration error is fixed the user can refresh to continue
normally or go back to login page from the link provided to
choose any other backend auth.
Also moved those URLs to dev_urls.py so that they can be easily
accessed to work on styling etc.
In tests, removed some of the asserts checking status code to be 200
as the function `assert_in_success_response` does that check.
Django treats path("<name>") like re_path(r"(?P<name>[^/]+)") and
path("<path:name>") like re_path(r"(?P<name>.+)").
This is more readable and consistent than the mix of slightly
different regexes we had before, and fixes various bugs:
• The r'apps/(.*)$' regex was missing a start anchor ^, so it
incorrectly matched all URLs that included apps/ as a substring
anywhere.
• The r'accounts/login/(google)/$' regex was missing a start anchor ^,
so it incorrectly matched all URLs that ended with
accounts/login/google/.
• The type annotation of zerver.views.realm_export.delete_realm_export
takes export_id as an int, but it was previously passed as a string.
• The type annotation of zerver.views.users.avatar takes medium as a
bool, but it was previously passed as a string.
• The [0-9A-Za-z]+ pattern for uidb64 was missing the - and _
characters that can validly be part of a base64url encoded
string (although I think the id is actually a decimal integer here,
in which case only 012345ADEIMNOQTUYcgjkwxyz are present in its
base64url encoding).

For web-public streams, clients can access full topic history
without being authenticated. They only need to additionally
send "streams:web-public" narrow with their request like all
the other web-public queries.
Extracting a section for presence endpoints and using path() rather
than re_path() results in a much cleaner implementation of this
concept.
This eliminates the last case where test_openapi couldn't correctly
match an endpoint documentation with the OpenAPI definitions for it.
Via API, users can now access messages which are in web-public
streams without any authentication.
If the user is not authenticated, we assume it is a web-public
query and add `streams:web-public` narrow if not already present
to the narrow. web-public streams are also directly accessible.
Any malformed narrow which is not allowed in a web-public query
results in a 400 or 401. See test_message_fetch for the allowed
queries.
This particular commit has been a long time coming. For reference,
!avatar(email) was an undocumented syntax that simply rendered an
inline 50px avatar for a user in a message, essentially allowing
you to create a user pill like:
`!avatar(alice@example.com) Alice: hey!`
---
Reimplementation
If we decide to reimplement this or a similar feature in the future,
we could use something like `<avatar:userid>` syntax which is more
in line with creating links in markdown. Even then, it would not be
a good idea to add this instead of supporting inline images directly.
Since any usecases of such a syntax are in automation, we do not need
to make it userfriendly and something like the following is a better
implementation that doesn't need a custom syntax:
`![avatar for Alice](/avatar/1234?s=50) Alice: hey!`
---
History
We initially added this syntax back in 2012 and it was 'deprecated'
from the get go. Here's what the original commit had to say about
the new syntax:
> We'll use this internally for the commit bot. We might eventually
> disable it for external users.
We eventually did start using this for our github integrations in 2013
but since then, those integrations have been neglected in favor of
our GitHub webhooks which do not use this syntax.
When we copied `!gravatar` to add the `!avatar` syntax, we also noted
that we want to deprecate the `!gravatar` syntax entirely - in 2013!
Since then, we haven't advertised either of these syntaxes anywhere
in our docs, and the only two places where this syntax remains is
our game bots that could easily do without these, and the git commit
integration that we have deprecated anyway.
We do not have any evidence of someone asking about this syntax on
chat.zulip.org when developing an integration and rightfully so- only
the people who work on Zulip (and specifically, markdown) are likely
to stumble upon it and try it out.
This is also the only peice of code due to which we had to look up
emails -> userid mapping in our backend markdown. By removing this,
we entirely remove the backend markdown's dependency on user emails
to render messages.

There is still some miscellaneous cleanup that
has to happen for things like analytics queries
and dead code in node tests, but this should
remove the main use of pointers in the backend.
(We will also still need to drop the DB field.)
This migrations use of url() to path() or re_path(). In this commit,
we only migration regular expressions to path where the translation is trivial:
* URLs with no parameters in them
* URLs with only integer parameters in them
* Strings where there regular expression just checked for `/`s
path; strings, which can have variable validation in the URLs that
need by-hand auditing, we leave for future commits that are easier to
review and think about the individual changes.
Modified by tabbott to convert back to `re_path` various URLs with
strings that had been converted to use `path()` with string
validation to simplify review.
