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.
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.
Previously if a pool had >100 posts then the 'Order' link wouldn't
appear in the navbar, but it was still possible to visit the pool order
page directly. If a user did so, only the first 100 posts in the pool
would be shown in the drag-and-drop widget. If they tried to reorder the
pool anyway, then everything beyond the first 100 posts would be
silently removed from the pool.
Now we always show the 'Order' link, but we disable the drag-and-drop
reordering widget when the pool has >100 posts to prevent posts from
being silently removed.
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`.
Fixes a conflict with `Enumerable#excluding` in Rails 6.
Rename Array#without and Enumerable#without to Array#excluding and
Enumerable#excluding. Old method names are retained as aliases.
Certain parts of comment rendering triggered sql queries that we didn't
really need to do. Rework things to avoid this.
* Preload comment creators in order to display commenter names with link_to_user.
* Preload comment votes in order to display "undo vote" links. Only preload
votes for members since anonymous users can't vote and don't have "undo
vote" links.
* Rework various conditionals to do the filtering in Ruby so that we
avoid issuing any extra queries in sql.
* Avoid issuing any queries at all when the post doesn't have any
comments (when last_commented_at is blank).
In production the name input is really big because the artist name
column in the production db is `text` rather than `character varying`,
and simpleform treats text columns as textbox inputs.
Changes to the /wiki_page_versions global listing:
* Add "diff" links that show you what changed in the given edit.
* Add "?" links that take you to the current version of the wiki.
* Add "»" links next to wiki page titles that take you to the wiki's full edit history.
* Add "»" links next to usernames that take you to the user's full edit history.
* Add a "Status" column that shows whether the wiki page was created,
deleted, undeleted, or renamed.
* Link to /wiki_page_versions in sidebar, not /wiki_pages?order=time.
Changes:
* Drop Users.id_to_name.
* Don't cache Users.name_to_id.
* Replace calls to name_to_id with find_by_name when possible.
* Don't autodefine creator_name in belongs_to_creator.
* Don't autodefine updater_name in belongs_to_updater.
* Instead manually define creator_name / updater_name only on models that need
to return these fields in the api.
id_to_name was cached to reduce the impact of N+1 query patterns in
certain places, especially in api responses that return creator_name /
updater_name fields. But it still meant we were doing N calls to
memcache. Using `includes` to prefetch users avoids this N+1 pattern.
name_to_id had no need be cached, it was never used in any performance-
sensitive contexts.
Avoiding caching also avoids the need to keep these caches consistent.
Instead of having custom code check whether the artist name is already
in use, just enable autocomplete on the artist name field. This is an
easier and more robust way to indicate tag name conflicts.
* Clean up javascript.
* Return HTTP 422 instead of HTTP 500 on "you have already voted for
this post" errors.
* In json/xml error responses, return the error message in the `message`
field, not `reason`.
* In json/xml success responses, return the post itself instead of a
plain `{ success: true }` object.
* Simplify code.
* Show backtraces for all users, not just builders.
* Show backtraces only for unexpected server errors (status 5xx), not
for normal client errors (status 4xx).
* Log expected errors at info level (reduce noise in production logs).
This causes the browser to prefetch the next page in a search, which may
make browsing seem faster to the end user, but it effectively doubles
the load on the server.
Avoid some queries used in wiki page excerpts:
* Only try to load the artist if the tag is an artist tag.
* Avoid using `exists?` queries for wiki pages.
* Bugfix: don't show wiki excerpts for deleted wikis.
