* 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.
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.
There are a handful of places where we need to strip markup from a piece
of dtext, primarily in <meta> description tags in the wiki. Currently
the dtext parser handles this by having a special mode where it parses
the text but doesn't output html tags. Here we refactor to instead parse
the text normally then strip out the html tags after the fact.
This is more flexible and allows us to simplify a lot of things in the
dtext parser. This also produces more readable output than before in
certain cases.
Previously the page-based (numbered) paginator would always count the
total_pages, even in API calls when it wasn't needed. This could be very
slow in some cases. Refactor so that total_pages isn't calculated unless
it's called.
While we're at it, refactor to condense all the sequential vs. numbered
pagination logic into one module. This incidentally fixes a couple more
bugs:
* "page=b0" returned all pages rather than nothing.
* Bad parameters like "page=blaha123" and "page=a123blah" were accepted.
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.
Don't create a neutral feedback, create a mod action, or dmail the user
after changing a user's name. The name change is already recorded in
/user_name_change_requests, so creating feedbacks and mod actions is
redundant. They also expose private information (when a user deletes
their account, old name changes aren't supposed to be visible any more).
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.
`User.find_by_name` used `where_ilike` to do a case-insensitve name
search, but it didn't escape `*` or `\` characters first, so it didn't
handle names containing these characters properly.
* Always display 'Saved searches' link in subnav bar, even if the user
hasn't created any saved searches yet.
* Eliminate use of `has_saved_searches` bitpref on users.
* Only check for conflicts with existing aliases/implications when
requests are created or approved, not when requests are rejected.
* Use `update!(status: "deleted")` instead of `update(status: "deleted")`
so that if rejecting the request fails we fail immediately instead of
continuing on and updating the forum topic.
* Wrap `reject!` and `TagChangeRequestPruner.reject_expired` in
transactions so that if updating either the request or the forum
fails, they both get rolled back.
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).
Stop maintaining pool category pseudo tags (pool:series, pool:collection)
in pool strings. They're no longer used and the changes to the
`Post#pools` method in dc4d2e54b caused issues with this.
Also allow Members to change the category of large pools again. This was
only restricted because maintaining these pseudotags forced us to update
every post in the pool whenever a pool's category was changed.
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.
