Some WriteFreely instances are completely private, and thus have no need for public-
oriented features like Web Monetization. Like federation, this gives admins control
over whether or not the feature is enabled for users.
Ref T773
This moves app config to a "Settings" page and the application monitor
to a "Monitor" page. It also reworks the admin navigation bar a bit and
adds some instance stats on the dashboard.
Ref T694
This resets user password to something random that also reminds the user
they should change it immediately after logging in, instead of a
completely random jumble of characters.
Ref T695
- update error messages to be correct
- move suspended message into template and include for other pages
- check suspended status on all relevant pages and show message if
logged in user is suspended.
- fix possible nil pointer error
- remove changes to db schema files
- add version comment to migration
- add UserStatus type with UserActive and UserSuspended
- change database table to use status column instead of suspended
- update toggle suspended handler to be toggle status in prep for
possible future inclusion of further user statuses
includes cache of latest version and page to view if updates are
available with a link to the latest update's release notes and a link to
check for the latest update now, refreshing the cache manually.
This renders all requests for that user's posts, collections and related
ActivityPub endpoints with 404 responses.
While suspended, users may not create or edit posts or collections.
User status is listed in the admin user page
Admin view of user details shows status and now has a button to activate
or suspend a user.
GetCollections and GetPublishableCollections now take a hostname
parameter to allow setting the collecion hostname.
All collections used in memory now have their hostname set.
This enables admins to customize their landing / home page via the Admin
dashboard -- including the text at the top of the page and the section
below it. It keeps the current default text, falling back to it if the
user hasn't overwritten it.
Ref T565
Now admins can choose a title for their About and Privacy pages; now
editable through the instance page editor.
This adds `title` and `content_type` fields to the `appcontent` table,
requiring a migration by running `writefreely --migrate`
The content_type field specifies that items we're currently storing in
this table are all "page"s; queries for fetching these have been updated
to filter for this type. In the future, this field will be used to
indicate when an item is a stylesheet (ref T563) or other supported
type.
Ref T566
This adds a "Pages" section to the admin part of the site, and enables
admins to edit the pre-defined About and Privacy pages there, instead of
on the dashboard itself.
It also restructures how these pages get sent around in the backend and
lays the groundwork for dynamically adding static pages. The backend
changes were made with more customization in mind, such as an
instance-wide custom stylesheet (T563).
Ref T566
This includes:
- A new `user_invites` config value that determines who can generate
invite links
- A new page for generating invite links, with new user navigation link
- A new /invite/ path that allows anyone to sign up via unique invite
link, even if registrations are closed
- Tracking who (of registered users) has been invited by whom
It requires an updated database with `writefreely --migrate` in order to
work.
This closes T556
This enables admins on multi-user instances to see all users registered,
and view the details of each, including:
- Username
- Join date
- Total posts
- Last post date
- All blogs
- Public info
- Views
- Total posts
- Last post date
- Fediverse followers count
This is the foundation for future user moderation features.
Ref T553
This adds a "Reader" section of the site for admins who want to enable
it for their instance. That means visitors can go to /read and see who
has publicly shared their writing. They can also follow all public posts
via RSS by going to /read/feed/. Writers on an instance with this
`local_timeline` setting enabled can publish to the timeline by going
into their blog settings and choosing the "Public" visibility setting.
The `local_timeline` feature is disabled by default, as is the Public
setting on writer blogs. Enabling it adds a "Reader" navigation item and
enables the reader endpoints. This feature will also consume more
memory, as public posts are cached in memory for 10 minutes.
These changes include code ported over from Read.Write.as, and thus
include some experimental features like filtering public posts by tags
and authors. These features aren't well-tested or complete.
Closes T554
