Bug: database timeouts were set only on the main database, not on the
post and pool versions database, so users effectively had an unlimited
timeout when dealing with these things.
Make the timestamp beneath the username on forum posts into a permalink
that links to the post in full context of the thread. For comments, make
the timestamp link to the comment in full context of the post.
* Make the timestamp in forum posts link to /forum_posts/123.
* Make the timestamp in comments link to /posts/456#comment_123.
* Make /forum_posts/123 redirect to /forum_topics/456#forum_post_123.
* Make /comments/123 redirect to /posts/456#comment_123.
* Remove the "ID: ###" and "Permalink" fields from forum posts.
* Factor out common sidebar layout template.
* Convert wiki pages and posts to use this template.
* Add data-layout attribute to <body> element indicating the current layout.
This was a mod-only report that used Google BigQuery to search post
versions by tag. 2b4ee0ee8 allows all users to search post versions by
tag, so this report is no longer necessary.
Remove all infrastructure around approving or rejecting user name
changes. Name changes haven't been moderated for several years.
* Remove status, approver_id, change_reason, and rejection_reason fields.
* Remove approve and reject controller actions.
* Automatically fix all tags with incorrect counts during daily
maintenance (previously only tags with negative counts were fixed).
* Log fixed tags to NewRelic.
* Remove the ability to manually fix tag counts with the "Fix" button on
the /tags listing. This is no longer necessary now that tags are
fixed automatically.
Replace the `method_attributes` and `hidden_attributes` methods with
`api_attributes`. `api_attributes` can be used as a class macro:
# include only the given attributes.
api_attributes :id, :created_at, :creator_name, ...
# include all default attributes plus the `creator_name` method.
api_attributes including: [:creator_name]
or as an instance method:
def api_attributes
[:id, :created_at, :creator_name, ...]
end
By default, all attributes are included except for IP addresses and
tsvector columns.
In xml responses, if the result is an empty array we want the response
to look like this:
<posts type="array"/>
not like this (the default):
<nil-classes type="array"/>
This refactors controllers so that this is done automatically instead of
having to manually call `@things.to_xml(root: "things")` everywhere. We
do this by overriding the behavior of `respond_with` in `ApplicationResponder`
to set the `root` option by default in xml responses.
Make /favorites redirect to a ordfav:<user> search instead of having a
separate view just for favorites. This duplicated a lot of code for no
good reason.
Comments have three states: visible, hidden, and invisible. Visible
comments are always shown. Hidden comments are not shown until the user
clicks 'Show all comments'. Invisible comments are never shown to the
user. Deleted comments are treated as hidden for moderators and
invisible for normal users. Thresholded comments are treated as hidden
for all users.
Rewrite the implementation of related tags to be simpler, faster, and
more accurate:
* The related tags are now calculated by taking a random sample of 1000
posts, finding the top 250 most frequent tags among those posts, then
ordering those tags by cosine similarity.
* Related tags can generally be calculated in 50-300ms at these sample
sizes. Very high sample sizes (25000+ posts) are still relatively fast
(1-3 seconds), but generally they don't improve accuracy much.
* Related tags are now cached in redis rather than in the tags table.
The related_tags column in the tags table is no longer used.
* Only the related tags in the search taglist are cached. The related
tags returned by the 'Related tags' button are not cached.
* The cache lifetime is a fixed 4 hours.
* The 'Related tags' button now works with metatags.
* The /related_tag page now works with metatags and multitag searches.
Fixes#4134, #4146.
This fixes InvalidAuthenticityToken errors caused by Reportbooru trying to
use this endpoint to update related tags. Reportbooru uses a secret key
to authenticate rather than using apikey-based authentication, which
makes it fail the CSRF protection.
Bug: if all the comments on a post were deleted then the deleted
comments wouldn't be visible to moderators.
This was because we assumed that if `last_commented_at` was nil it meant
that the post had no comments, but this was wrong. `last_commented_at`
only counts undeleted comments. It's reset to nil if all the commnets
have been deleted.
Refactor to use `render_error_page` to handle User::PrivilegeError
exceptions. This way these exceptions are logged to New Relic.
Changes:
* Anonymous users aren't automatically redirected to the login page.
Instead they're taken to the access denied page, which links to the
login/signup pages.
* JSON/XML error responses return `message` instead of `reason`.
* Refactor api_check to use render_error_page so that api limit errors
get logged to New Relic for analysis.
* Also standardize json error responses to return the error message in
`message` instead of `reason`.
