Changes:
* Make it so you can click or hover over a post's favorite count to see
the list of public favorites.
* Remove the "Show »" button next to the favorite count.
* Make the favorites list visible to all users. Before favorites were
only visible to Gold users.
* Make the /favorites page show the list of all public favorites,
instead of redirecting to the current user's favorites.
* Add /posts/:id/favorites endpoint.
* Add /users/:id/favorites endpoint.
This is for several reasons:
* To make viewing favorites work the same way as viewing upvotes.
* To make posts load faster for Gold users. Before, we loaded all the
favorites when viewing a post, even when the user didn't look at them.
This made pageloads slower for posts that had hundreds or thousands of
favorites. Now we only load the favlist if the user hovers over the favcount.
* To make the favorite list visible to all users. Before, it wasn't
visible to non-Gold users, because of the performance issue listed above.
* To make it more obvious that favorites are public by default. Before,
since regular users could only see the favcount, they may have
mistakenly believed other users couldn't see their favorites.
Stop updating the fav_string attribute on posts. The column still exists
on the table, but is no longer used or updated.
Like the pool_string in 7d503f08, the fav_string was used in the past to
facilitate `fav:X` searches. Posts had a hidden fav_string column that
contained a list of every user who favorited the post. These were
treated like fake hidden tags on the post so that a search for `fav:X`
was treated like a tag search.
The fav_string attribute has been unused for search purposes for a while
now. It was only kept because of technicalities that required
departitioning the favorites table first (340e1008e) before it could be
removed. Basically, removing favorites with `@favorite.destroy` was
slow because Rails always deletes object by ID, but we didn't have an
index on favorites.id, and we couldn't easily add one until the
favorites table was departitioned.
Fixes#4652. See https://github.com/danbooru/danbooru/issues/4652#issuecomment-754993802
for more discussion of issues caused by the fav_string (in short: write
amplification, post table bloat, and favorite inconsistency problems).
Remove the ability for users to lock ratings, note, and post statuses.
Historically the majority of locked posts were from 10+ years ago when
certain users habitually locked ratings and notes on every post they
touched for no reason. Nowadays most posts have been unlocked. Only a
handful of locked posts are left, none of which deserve to be locked.
The is_rating_locked, is_note_locked, and is_status_locked columns still
exist in the database, but aren't used.
* Remove the PostRegeneration model. Instead just use a mod action
to log when a post is regenerated.
* Change it so that IQDB is also updated when the image samples are
regenerated. This is necessary because when the images samples are
regenerated, the thumbnail may change, which means IQDB needs to be
updated too. This can happen when regenerating old images with
transparent backgrounds where the transparency was flattened to black
instead of white in the thumbnail.
* Only display one "Regenerate image" option in the post sidebar, to
regenerate both the images and IQDB. Regenerating IQDB only can be
done through the API. Having two options in the sidebar is too much
clutter, and it's too confusing for Mods who don't know the difference
between an IQDB-only regeneration and a full image regeneration.
* Add a confirm prompt to the "Regenerate image" link.
* Remove the data-is-favorited attribute from post thumbnails.
* Remove the is_favorited attribute from the /posts.json API.
* Remove the fav_string attribute from the /posts.json API (only visible
to moderators).
* Change `Post#favorited_by?` to not use the fav_string.
Further addresses #4652 by eliminating the last places where fav_string
was used.
Move html_data_attributes definitions from models to policies. Which
attributes are permitted as data-* attributes is a view level concern
and should be defined on the policy level, not the model level. Models
should be agnostic about how they're used in views.
Rework post deletion from using a separate page to using a dialog box,
like flagging.
* Add `DELETE /posts/:id` endpoint.
* Remove `POST /moderator/post/posts/:id/delete` endpoint.
Refactor models so that we define attribute API permissions in policy
files instead of directly in models.
This is cleaner because a) permissions are better handled by policies
and b) which attributes are visible to the API is an API-level concern
that models shouldn't have to care about.
This fixes an issue with not being able to precompile CSS/JS assets
unless the database was up and running. This was a problem when building
Docker images because we don't have a database at build time. We needed
the database because `api_attributes` was a class-level macro in some
places, which meant it ran at boot time, but this triggered a database
call because api_attributes used database introspection to get the list
of allowed API attributes.
