* Redirect the show_or_new action to either the show page or the new
page. Don't use show_or_new to render nonexistent wikis; do that in the
regular show action instead.
* Make the show action return 404 for nonexistent wikis.
Change wiki page search to redirect to exact matches only when using the
quick search bar. Fixes searches sometimes unexpectedly redirecting when
doing a regular (non-quick) search that happens to return a single result.
Also remove the logic that tries to expand the search when no results
are found. This will eventually be replaced with a smarter "did you mean?"
search.
* Move forum post vote tests from test/controllers to test/functional.
* Fix forum post vote tests to work with new routes.
* Fix obsolete wiki page tests dealing with updater_id.
* Remove the single alias and implication request forms. From now
on, bulk update requests are the only way to request aliases or
implications.
* Remove the forum topic ID field from the bulk update request form.
Instead, to attach a BUR to an existing topic you go to the topic then
you click "Request alias/implication" at the top of the page.
* Update the bulk update request form to give better examples for the
script format and to explain the difference between aliases and
implications.
* Change cutoffs on upload page to max 5 results, min. 20% similarity.
* Change cutoffs on standalone /iqdb_queries page to max 20 results, min. 0% similarity.
* /iqdb_queries.json: add `limit` and `similarity` params to change default cutoffs.
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.
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.
* Add ability to search /post_versions by added tags, removed tags, or
changed tags (added or removed).
* Add 'History' link to the sidebar of the /posts index. This is a
shortcut for a /post_versions search of the current tag.
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.
Use git clean to delete stale files from an earlier checkout. These
files interfered with various things (specifically, a comment vote test
failed because there was an old comment_votes/create.json.erb template
hanging around that changed the behavior of the POST /comment_votes endpoint).
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.
Stop using the pool_string field internally, but keep maintaining it
until we can drop it later.
* Stop using the pool_string for `pool:<name>` metatag searches.
* Stop using the pool_string in the `Post#pools` method. This is used to
get the list of pools on post show pages.
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.
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.
