Previously, we included a special subscribe button in new stream
notifications, but that had 2 problems:
(1) The subscribe button would render badly if the stream was renamed.
(2) There wasn't an easy way to look at the stream when deciding
whether to subscribe.
This fixes the second problem, but not really the first.
This adds support for only allowing normal users with account age
equal or greater than a "waiting period" threshold to create streams;
this is useful for open organizations that want new members to
understand the community before creating streams.
If create_stream_by_admins_only setting is set to True, only admin users
were able to create streams. Now normal users with account age greater
or equal than waiting period threshold can also create streams.
Account age is defined as number of days passed since the user had
created his account.
Fixes: #2308.
Tweaked by tabbott to clean up the actual can_create_streams logic and
the tests.
This includes making the default stream description setting into a
dict. That is an API change; we'll discuss it in the changelog but it
seems small enough to be OK.
With some small tweaks by tabbott to remove unnecessary backwards
compatibility code for the settings.
Fixes#2427.
Modify backend test of create_streams_if_needed so that the newly
created streams have descriptions.
Modify casperjs test of filling out stream_creation_form so that
the newly created stream has a description.
Fixes: #2428.
Refactor list_to_streams and create_streams_if_needed to take a list
of dictionaries, instead of a list of stream names. This is
preparation for being able to pass additional arguments into the
stream creation process.
An important note: This removes a set of validation code from the
start of add_subscriptions_backend; doing so is correct because
list_to_streams has that same validation code already.
[with some tweaks by tabbott for clarity]
We are prone to case-sensitivity bugs, so I added AARON and ZOE.
Also, for good measure, I insert them in non-alphabetical order
to try to drive out bugs from non-consistent sorting of user ids.
If a stream is public, we now send notifications to all realm users
if the name or description of the stream changes. For private
streams, the behavior remains the same.
We do this by introducing a method called
can_access_stream_user_ids().
(showell helped with this fix)
Fixes#2195
Adds a database migration, adds a new string_id argument to the management
realm creation command, and adds a short name field to the web realm
creation form when REALMS_HAVE_SUBDOMAINS is False.
Note that we still need the equivalent function in our
user-facing API, so there is not much code removal yet.
(Also, we will probably always keep this in our API,
as bot authors will usually just want a simple endpoint
here, whereas our client code gets page_params and events.)
We now send peer_remove events to folks who have never subscribed
to the streams (except for private streams and zephyr).
We also use logic that is more similar to how
bulk_add_subscriptions() works.
This moves the logic for renaming a stream to the REST API
update_stream_backend method, eliminating the legacy API endpoint for
doing so.
It also adds a nice test suite covering international stream names.
This commit extracts compose_views() from update_subscriptions_backend(),
and it implements the correct behavior for forcing transactions to roll
back, which is to raise an exception.
There were really three steps in this commit:
- Extract buggy code to compose_views().
- Add tests on compose_views().
- Fix bugs exposed by the new tests by converting errors to exceptions.
This makes us more consistent, since we have other wrappers
like client_patch, client_put, and client_delete.
Wrapping also will facilitate instrumentation of our posting code.
