Remove the enable_sequential_post_navigation option. This option was
used to disable the next/previous post navbar below posts.
This option was originally added in issue #674 because of people
complaining about the navbar when it was originally added. Also there
were complaints about URLs being uglier because of search params in the
URL (e.g. /posts/1234?q=touhou). There were also various minor bugs with
it at the time, such as keyboard shortcuts not working correctly, or the
page not remembering your search after a tag edit.
These complaints are irrelevant nowadays because a) people are used to
the navbar by now (and more often complain about it *not* being there
for order:score searches), b) post URLs always contain the search now,
this option hasn't disabled that for years, and c) the initial bugs with
it were fixed years ago.
Only ~1000 users disabled this option and only ~600 were seen in the last year.
Users still wishing to hide the search navbar can use custom CSS instead.
Refactor page limits to a) be explicitly listed in the User class (not
hidden away in the Danbooru config) and b) explicitly depend on the
CurrentUser (not implicitly by way of Danbooru.config.max_numbered_pages).
Add tracking of certain important user actions. These events include:
* Logins
* Logouts
* Failed login attempts
* Account creations
* Account deletions
* Password reset requests
* Password changes
* Email address changes
This is similar to the mod actions log, except for account activity
related to a single user.
The information tracked includes the user, the event type (login,
logout, etc), the timestamp, the user's IP address, IP geolocation
information, the user's browser user agent, and the user's session ID
from their session cookie. This information is visible to mods only.
This is done with three models. The UserEvent model tracks the event
type (login, logout, password change, etc) and the user. The UserEvent
is tied to a UserSession, which contains the user's IP address and
browser metadata. Finally, the IpGeolocation model contains the
geolocation information for IPs, including the city, country, ISP, and
whether the IP is a proxy.
This tracking will be used for a few purposes:
* Letting users view their account history, to detect things like logins
from unrecognized IPs, failed logins attempts, password changes, etc.
* Rate limiting failed login attempts.
* Detecting sockpuppet accounts using their login history.
* Detecting unauthorized account sharing.
Add a Restricted user level. Restricted users are level 10, below
Members. New users start out as Restricted if they sign up from a proxy
or an IP recently used by another user.
Restricted users can't update or edit any public content on the site
until they verify their email address, at which point they're promoted
to Member. Restricted users are only allowed to do personal actions
like keep favorites, keep favgroups and saved searches, mark dmails as
read or deleted, or mark forum posts as read.
The restricted state already existed before, the only change here is
that now it's an actual user level instead of a hidden state. Before it
was based on two hidden flags on the user, the `requires_verification`
flag (set when a user signs up from a proxy, etc), and the `is_verified`
flag (set after the user verifies their email). Making it a user level
means that now the Restricted status will be shown publicly.
Introducing a new level below Member means that we have to change every
`is_member?` check to `!is_anonymous` for every place where we used
`is_member?` to check that the current user is logged in.
* Refactor various user limit methods to class methods from instance
methods so they can be used outside the context of a single user.
* Remove the Danbooru.config.base_tag_query_limit option.
Add a model to store the status of user upgrades.
* Store the upgrade purchaser and the upgrade receiver (these are
different for a gifted upgrade, the same for a self upgrade).
* Store the upgrade type: gold, platinum, or gold-to-platinum upgrades.
* Store the upgrade status:
** pending: User is still on the Stripe checkout page, no payment
received yet.
** processing: User has completed checkout, but the checkout status in
Stripe is still 'unpaid'.
** complete: We've received notification from Stripe that the payment
has gone through and the user has been upgraded.
* Store the Stripe checkout ID, to cross-reference the upgrade record on
Danbooru with the checkout record on Stripe.
This is the upgrade flow:
* When the user clicks the upgrade button on the upgrade page, we call
POST /user_upgrades and create a pending UserUpgrade.
* We redirect the user to the checkout page on Stripe.
* When the user completes checkout on Stripe, Stripe sends us a webhook
notification at POST /webhooks/receive.
* When we receive the webhook, we check the payment status, and if it's
paid we mark the UserUpgrade as complete and upgrade the user.
* After Stripe sees that we have successfully processed the webhook,
they redirect the user to the /user_upgrades/:id page, where we show
the user their upgrade receipt.
New rules for user promotions:
* Moderators can no longer promote other users to moderator level. Only
Admins can promote users to Mod level. Mods can only promote up to Builder level.
* Admins can no longer promote other users to Admin level. Only Owners
can promote users to Admin. Admins can only promote up to Mod level.
* Admins can no longer demote themselves or other admins.
These rules are being changed to account for the new Owner user level.
Also change it so that when a user upgrades their account, the promotion
is done by DanbooruBot. This means that the inviter and the mod action
will show DanbooruBot as the promoter instead of the user themselves.
Add a new Owner user level for the site owner. Highly sensitive
operations like manually changing the passwords of other users will be
restricted to the site owner.
The old flag limits were:
* 1 flag per day for regular members.
* 10 flags per day for Gold users.
* Unlimited flags for approvers.
The new flag limits are:
* 10 flags in the modqueue at once for regular users.
* Unlimited flags for approvers.
* Unlimited flags for users with a high enough flag success rate. If you
have at least 30 flags in the last 3 months, and you have at least a
70% flag success rate, then you get unlimited flags.
10 flags at once means you can have up to 10 flagged posts in the
modqueue at the same time. Because flags stay in the modqueue for 3
days, this means you can flag on average 10 posts every 3 days, or just
over 3 posts per day.
The old limit was one appeal per day. The new limit is based on your
upload limit. Each appeal costs 3 upload slots. If you have 15 upload
slots, then you can appeal up to 5 posts at once, but you won't be able
to appeal or upload more until your appeals are approved or rejected. If
you have unlimited uploads, then you have unlimited appeals.
* Show a banner if the user is restricted because they signed up from a
proxy or VPN.
* Add an option to resend the confirmation email if your account has an
unverified email address.
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.
Partial fix for #4389.
* Fix invalid username searches returning all posts instead of no posts.
* Fix "user:A user:B" returning results for user:B instead of no results.
* Fix "approver:A approver:B" returning results for approver:B instead of no results.
* Add support for negated -commenter, -noter, -noteupdater, -upvote, -downvote metatags.
* Add support for "any" and "none" values for all username metatags,
including negated metatags that didn't support "any" or "none" before.
* Change noter:any and commenter:any to include posts with deleted notes
or comments. Note that commenter:<username> already included deleted
comments before. This is so that commenter:any has the same behavior
as commenter:<username>
Remove the ability to authenticate to the API with the `login` and
`password_hash` url parameters. This is a legacy authentication method
from Danbooru 1. How to actually generate the password_hash for this
method hasn't been fully documented for many years now. It required
taking the SHA1 hash of your password combined with an undocumented salt
value (i.e., password_hash = sha1("choujin-steiner--#{password}")).
This authentication method was also slow because it required checking
the password on every API call. Checking passwords is deliberately slow
because passwords are hashed with BCrypt. BCrypt takes about ~200ms per
request, so using this method effectively limited you to ~5 requests per
second in a single thread.
* Make authentication methods into User instance methods instead of
class methods.
* Fix API key authentication to use a secure string comparison. Fixes a
hypothetical (unlikely to be exploitable) timing attack.
* Move login logic from SessionCreator to SessionLoader.
Require users who signup using proxies to verify their email addresses
before they can perform any edits. For verification purposes, the email
must be a nondisposable address from a whitelist of trusted email
providers.
Pull the password reauthentication logic out of the user model and put
it in the password update controller where it belongs.
This fixes an issue where when a new user was created the user model had
an incorrect password error set on it by `encrypt_password_on_update`.
It was trying to verify the old password even though we don't have one
when creating a new user. This error caused the user create action to
redirect back to the signup page because `respond_with` thought that
creating the user failed.
Side effects:
* The data-current-user-is-voter <body> attribute has been removed.
* {{upvote:self}} no longer works. {{upvote:<name>}} should be used instead.
Fix discrepancy between index action and show action. The index
action allowed members to see name changes for undeleted users, but the
show action didn't.
* Move emails from users table to email_addresses table.
* Validate that addresses are formatted correctly and are unique across
users. Existing invalid emails are grandfathered in.
* Add is_verified flag (the address has been confirmed by the user).
* Add is_deliverable flag (an undeliverable address is an address that bounces).
* Normalize addresses to prevent registering multiple accounts with the
same email address (using tricks like Gmail's plus addressing).
