This moves the documentation for this feature out of

We also add a bucket policy, which is part of what one would want to
use this in production.

This addresses much, but not all, of #9361.

Tim Abbott cfd22c6832 zilencer: Clean up logic around mobile push notifications signup.
This fixes exceptions when sending PMs in development (where we were
trying to connect to the localhost push bouncer, which we weren't
authorized for, but even if we were, it wouldn't work, since there's
no APNS/GCM certs).

At the same time, we also set and order of operations that ensures one
has the opportunity to adjust the server URL before submitting
anything to us.

Tim Abbott 76fba19d20 docs: Add a basic guide on the current guest users implementation.
This will likely change pretty quickly as we build this feature; I

Greg Price a70816c76e docs: Stop linking to specific versions of our docs entirely.
We started doing this for install docs in de2a2d0df, because `latest`
wasn't suitable and because I didn't know about readthedocs's `stable`
feature.  The result has been that even with a checklist item, we
don't reliably update the link.

Instead, use the special `stable` version identifier on readthedocs to
link automatically to the highest version it knows about.

Tim Abbott 6bab4e0aad narrow: Fix narrowing behavior when loading a new tab.
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.

Steve Howell ae92ec2b57 node docs: Simplify and fix node docs.
This is a first pass at fixing node docs.  This commit eliminates
some text that is either obsolete or just overly confusing, and
it fixes some of the code samples to reflect how the API has
evolved in the last couple years.  We also prominently tell
you how to run the tests.
2018-04-17 17:52:19 -07:00
Steve Howell fca5cec2af node tests: Remove features to output HTML to files.
I don't think anybody ever really used this feature, which I
developed but don't even use myself.  It kind of runs counter
to the minimalist approach of the rest of node tests.

I would eventually like to re-think the template tests altogether.
They're slow, and we could solve that somewhat by replacing
jsdon/jquery with an HTML parser library to verify structural
things.

It's also possible that we can just rely on our template linters
to catch the biggest class of errors (malformed tags) and let
code review do the rest.

And it's also possible that we should make a second attempt to
ramp up tooling on making it easy to verify templates, but it
doesn't have to be part of the node tests.  If we did that, we
would also potentially use tooling for Python-side templates.

Greg Price 8630eb43b3 docs: Sort changelog entries for 1.8 into categories.
These aren't perfect -- in particular "core chat experience" can
probably be broken up -- but I think they help in making a quick skim
work for getting some sense of what the changes are.

This change just reorders and adds headings, with virtually no wording
changes.
2018-04-16 18:37:38 -07:00
Greg Price 21045d8cf0 prod docs: Call out more the need for a chained cert bundle.
This is kind of easy to gloss over, especially with the framing
as a "format"; surely if things work at all, the file format
must have been right, right?  It's really a bit more substantive
than that; say so and also add a bit more description.

Greg Price 6396b3aef7 docs/production: Make an editing pass through the SMTP doc.
In addition to many small edits for formatting and clarity, a few more
significant changes:

* In the main instructions, refer specifically to restarting the
  server and to testing that the config works.

* Add SendGrid to the recommended list, as it seems like people
  give it a somewhat stronger reputation these days than Mailgun.

* Discuss EMAIL_USE_TLS and EMAIL_PORT along with host, user, and
  password in the "free services" section.  Though those bullets feel
  kind of duplicative to me already.
2018-04-05 21:24:48 -07:00
Greg Price b9f1f9c0ae docs/production: Reorganize SMTP docs a bit.
Let's get right to the point of how to configure SMTP once you know
what you want.  That section is pretty short anyway; and we can have
a first step direct the reader to our suggestions if they don't know
what service they want to use.

Also adjust the hierarchy of the headings: group the various
alternative email services under one heading, and group
troubleshooting together under an independent heading.

Also correct what we say about EMAIL_PORT: the Django default is
apparently 25, so if the provider *does* use the usual port 587
then we'll need the port to be set.

Rohitt Vashishtha 115b633551 markdown-tests: Allow ignoring certain fixtures while developing.
Usually, to debug a small change, you have to remove some tests from JSON
because of lack of support for comments in JSON. This commit allows to
ignore some tests by setting `"ignore" : true` in the bugdown fixtures.

Also, since this is only for while developing, the complete test suite will
throw an error if we leave an 'ignored' test in a commit.

YJDave 93ee0aace7 stream settings: Allow realm admins to remove others from any stream.
This will allow realm admins to remove others from private stream to

Steve Howell f0d101edf5 pills: Streamline input pills (for user groups).
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`.

Greg Price e022b9e7ea install docs: Cut SSL cert from requirements summary.
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.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price d99ec6426d install docs: Move requirements tl;dr to requirements doc.
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.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price c1d5364077 install docs: Consolidate follow-up steps.
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.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price 526e301177 install docs: Tighten "create organization" step.
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.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price 4edc121b49 install docs: Move background details to after main flow too.
This further shortens the wall of text inside the instructions.

Note that thanks to embedded reST, we now have the power to provide

link won't break if we later tweak the wording of this heading.
2018-03-06 19:43:02 -08:00
Greg Price 53f80336ee install docs: Consolidate troubleshooting at bottom.
This helps shorten the wall of text between the start of the

Greg Price f22712e8e8 install: Go straight through by default.
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.
