The menu works with HTML/CSS only, and JS support will also allow
closing it by clicking outside of it (instead of closing allow when
clicking on the menu icon again).
It appears as though performing a lot of requests is the most costly
aspect of listing comment counts per topic; this change aims to address
that by reading all the counts in a single request.
On my computer, this changes loading times from an absolute 100-200 ms to
50-100 ms most of the time. The request impact is not easy to measure as a
couple ms is small enough to fall in the range of disk access and other
semi-random events.
* Sorted privileges into categories, similar to the v4.3 style
Added privilege check utilities:
* Forum: is_news(), is_default_accessible() and is_default_postable()
* Member: can_access_forum(), can_post_in_forum(), can_edit_post(),
and can_delete_post()
Unfortunately current_user is not a Guest when logged out, so one
cannot usually write current_user.can_*() without checking for
authentication first, so the checks are still somewhat verbose.
Reviewed forum permissions; the following permission issues have been
fixed (I have tested most but not all of them prior to fixing):
* app/routes/forum/index.py: Users that were not meant to access a
forum could still obtain a listing of the topics
* app/routes/forum/topic.py: Users that were not meant to see topics
could still read them by browsing the URL
* app/routes/forum/topic.py: Authenticated users could post in any
topic, including ones that they should not have access to
* app/routes/posts/edit.py: Users with edit.posts (eg. mods) could edit
and delete messages in forums they can't access (eg. creativecalc)
* app/templates/account/user.html: Users with admin panel access would
see account editing links they can't use (affects developers)
* app/templates/base/navbar/forum.html: The "Forum" tab would list all
forums including ones the user doesn't have access to
* app/templates/forum/index.html: Users would see every single forum,
including ones they can't access
* app/template/widgets/thread.html: Anyone would see Edit/Delete links
on every message, even though most were unusable
Miscellaneous changes:
* app/routes/forum/topic.py: Ordered comments by date as intended,
which I assume worked by chance until now
* Removed the old assets/privs.txt files which is now superseded by the
list implemented in app/data/groups.yaml
This commit changes group and forum information, run master.py with:
@> forums update
@> groups update
This commit introduces a client-side table filter that supports regexes
and propositional logic to filter table rows.
A table can be filtered if it has the [filter-target] class and its
first row has <th> tags with a [data-filter] attribute specifying column
names.
The filter itself is a div with the [form] and [filter] classes, and a
[data-target] attribute pointing to the table to filter. The filter
contains a text <input> which is passed to filter_update() when the
filter expression is validated.
The client-side filter code runs the expression through a basic lexer
and parser, then matches the result for every row in the target table.
The [textContent] of each cell is used for string and regex matching.
Autofocus prompts the browser to scroll to the editor when the page
loads, which makes little to no sense on topic pages where the important
information is at the top.
