* With the new JWT signatures on photo URLs, it was no longer possible for
creative users to embed their gallery photos on their profile page.
* Add a function to ReSignPhotoLinks that finds/replaces (on the server side)
all references to paths under "/static/photos/" and gives them a fresh
?jwt= query string signature.
* Note: only applies to the profile page essays, ReSignPhotoLinks is a
template func that must be opted-in on a per page basis.
Other miscellaneous fixes
* Add "Edit" buttons in the corners of profile cards, when the current user
looks at their profile page. They link to URIs like
"/settings#profile/about_me" which will now:
1. Select the "Profile settings" tab like #profile
2. Scroll and focus the profile essay field that the user clicked to edit.
* The photo signing JWT tokens carry more fields to validate against:
* The username the token is assigned to (or '@' for anyone)
* An 'anyone' boolean for widely public images, such as for the chat room
and public profile pages.
* A short filename hash of the image in question (whether a Photo or a
CommentPhoto) - so that the user can't borrow a JWT token from the chat
room and reveal a different picture.
* Refactored where the VisibleAvatarURL function lives, to avoid a cyclic
dependency error.
* Originally: (*models.User).VisibleAvatarURL(other *models.User)
* Now: (pkg/photo).VisibleAvatarURL(user, currentUser *models.User)
* Add support for authenticated static photo URLs, leveraging the NGINX module
ngx_http_auth_request. The README is updated with an example NGINX config
how to set this up on the proxy side.
* In settings.json a new SignedPhoto section is added: not enabled by default.
* PhotoURL will append a ?jwt= token to the /static/photos/ path for the
current user, which expires after 30 seconds.
* When SignedPhoto is enabled, it will enforce that the JWT token is valid and
matches the username of the current logged-in user, or else will return with
a 403 Forbidden error.
Add minimum quotas for users to earn the ability to create custom forums.
The entry requirements that could earn the first forum include:
1. Having a Certified account status for at least 45 days.
2. Having written 10 posts or replies in the forums.
Additional quota is granted in increasing difficulty based on the count of
forum posts created.
Other changes:
* Admin view of Manage Forums can filter for official/community.
* "Certified Since" now shown on profile pages.
* Update FAQ page for Forums feature.
* Add a transparency page where regular user accounts can list the roles and
permissions that an admin user has access to. It is available by clicking on
the "Admin" badge on that user's profile page.
* Add additional admin scopes to lock down more functionality:
* User feedback and reports
* Change logs
* User notes and admin notes
* Add friendly descriptions to what all the scopes mean in practice.
* Don't show admin notification badges to admins who aren't allowed to act on
those notifications.
* Update the admin dashboard page and documentation for admins.
* Add a Search page to the forums to filter by user ID and find threads and
replies matching your search terms, with "quoted phrases" and -negation
support.
* On user profile pages, add an "Activity" box showing statistics on their
forum threads/comments, likes given/received, photo counts, etc.
* On the "Newest" and Search page for Forums: show an indicator whenever a
post includes an attached photo.
Got initial Poll table and UI started:
* Polls can be attached to any NEW forum post (can't edit poll details
after creation)
* Max 100 options (theoretically unlimited), expiration time.
* UI: shows radio button list on posts having a poll, no submit handler
yet created.
* Enhance user experience replying to a forum thread. An inline reply textarea
is added to page footers, "Quote" buttons on posts will quote the markdown
source and focus the reply textarea, and "Reply" buttons will put an
"@ mention" and focus the reply textarea. Users with scripts disabled will
still be sent to the regular reply page as before.
* Improve all pagers by adding a "QueryPlus" template function that merges the
page number with other current query parameters.
* Fix private profile picture avatars not displaying in your Notifications for
profile pics you're allowed to see.
* Add a "Newest" tab to the Forums landing page to order ALL forum posts
(comments) by most recent, paginated.
* Add a "Views" cooldown in Redis: viewing the same post multiple times
within 1 hour doesn't ++ the view count with every page load, per user
per thread ID.
* Update the paginators to handle unlimited numbers of pages: shows max
7 page buttons with your current page towards the middle.
* General ability to jump to the "last page" of anything: use a negative
page size like ?page=-1 and it acts like the last page.
* Add permalink URL for photos to view their comment threads.
* Commenters can Edit or Delete their own comments.
* Photo owners can Delete any comment on it.
* Update Privacy Policy
Adds initial code for basically functional forums:
* Forums landing page shows hard-coded list of Categories along with any
forums in the DB that use those categories.
* Admin: Create, Edit forums and view forums you own or have admin rights
to modify.
* Landing page forums list shows the title/description and dynamic count of
number of Topics and total number of Posts in each forum. TODO: distinct
count of Users who posted in each forum.
* Board Index page shows list of Threads (posts) with a Replies count and
Views count on each thread.
* Thread view is basically an array of Comments. Users can post, edit and
delete (their own) comments. Deleting the first comment removes the
entire Thread - the thread points to a first Comment to provide its body.
* Reply and Quote-Reply options working.
* Add photo upload quotas.
* Non-certified users can upload few photos; certified users more
* Fix foreign key issues around deleting user profile photos for psql
* Add "forgot password" workflow.
* Add ability to change user email address (confirmation link sent)
* Add ability to change user's password.
* Add rate limiter to deter brute force login attempts.
* Add user deep delete functionality (delete account).
* Ping user LastLoginAt every 8 hours for long-lived session cookies.
* Add age filters to user search page.
* Add sort options to user search (last login, created, username/name)
* Add "Site Gallery" page showing all public+gallery member photos.
* Add "Certification Required" decorator for gallery and other main pages.
* Add the Certification Photo workflow:
* Users have a checklist on their dashboard to upload a profile pic
and post a certification selfie (two requirements)
* Admins notified by email when a new certification pic comes in.
* Admin can reject (w/ comment) or approve the pic.
* Users can re-upload or delete their pic at the cost of losing
certification status if they make any such changes.
* Users are emailed when their photo is either approved or rejected.
* User Preferences: can now save the explicit pref to your account.
* Explicit photos on user pages and site gallery are hidden if the
current user hasn't opted-in (user can always see their own explicit
photos regardless of the setting)
* If a user is viewing a member gallery and explicit pics are hidden, a
count of the number of explicit pics is shown to inform the user that
more DO exist, they just don't see them. The site gallery does not do
this and simply hides explicit photos.
* Add the user photo gallery for profile pages. Paginated, grid or full (blog
style) view options. In grid view clicking a photo opens a large modal to
see it; full view already shows large photos.
* Edit page: can also re-crop and set an existing pic to be your profile pic.
* Delete page: remove photos from the DB and hard drive.
* Photos are cleaned up from disk when not needed, e.g. during a re-crop the
old cropped photo is removed before the new one replaces it.
* Fixed bug with cropping pictures.
