Side effects:
* The data-current-user-is-voter <body> attribute has been removed.
* {{upvote:self}} no longer works. {{upvote:<name>}} should be used instead.
* Add ability to report dmails.
* Enable reports for comments, forum posts, and dmails.
* Allow Members to send reports.
* Don't allow users to report the same thing twice.
The use of any? and count was forcing new SQL requests for each statement.
Instead, present? and length were used which act on the reports once loaded.
Although unneeded, the comment and forum views were changed as well for consistency.
- Posts and topics have an added moderation_reports function
-- This is so all moderation reports can be loaded in a single query
- Those moderation reports are passed into the render functions separately
-- This is so the individual comments/posts don't have to be queried
- Limited to Builders+
-- Moderator+ can also use as they may be too busy ATM
- Only on users, comments, and forum posts
- Multiple reports can be generated per instance
- Primarily posts to a moderator-only topic for viewability
- Secondarily has a table for searchability
-- Viewable only by moderators
Removed IP addresses from comments and from most other listing pages.
IPs take up a lot of space in many places (especially IPv6 addresses),
and in most of these pages they're rarely useful for catching
sockpuppets.
DText is processed in three phases: a preprocessing phase, the regular
parsing phases, and a postprocessing phase.
In the preprocessing phase we extract all the wiki links from all the
dtext messages on the page (more precisely, we do this in forum threads
and on comment pages, because these are the main places with lots of
dtext). This is so we can lookup all the tags and wiki pages in one
query, which is necessary because in the worst case (in certain forum
threads and in certain list_of_* wiki pages) there can be hundreds of
tags per page.
In the postprocessing phase we fixup the html generated by the ragel
parser to add CSS classes to wiki links. We do this in a postprocessing
step because it's easier than doing it in the ragel parser itself.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Refactor tag_list_html, split_tag_list_html, and inline_tag_list_html to
take the `show_extra_links` and `current_query` options explicitly,
rather than implicitly relying on CurrentUser or taking `params[:tags]`
from the template.
* Restore behavior of thresholded comments being greyed out (lost in 6fa0ae2cf).
* Set the `below-threshold` class for thresholded comments in the html instead of in javascript.
* Remove `include_below_threshold` param; it was always true when clicking "Show all comments".
Mark the edit form, new comment form, and unvote links as hidden in
html, instead of showing them by default then hiding them later in
Javascript. This eliminates flickering on page load.
Eager load post comments' creators and updaters. Fixes an N+1 queries
problem when rendering commenter names at:
views/comments/partials/show/_comment.html.erb:6
views/comments/partials/show/_comment.html.erb:20
while rendering /posts/:id pages.
* Add 'post as moderator' option to comment form. This creates a so-called sticky comment.
* Downvotes have no effect on stickied comments; they're always visible, regardless of comment thresholds.
* Only mods may sticky comments.
* Mods may sticky comments by other users.
