This adds a new config value: `chorus` that signifies an instance is
more about the Reader view than individual blogs / writers. When
enabled, user navigation will show on all pages, including About,
Reader, and Privacy (ref T680).
It also uses different collection templates that keep the instance-wide
navigation at the top of the page, instead of the author's name --
again, branded more for the collective than the individual.
Ref T681
This adds a new `wf_modesty` config option that removes the copious
mentions of WriteFreely in places like the About page and site
footers.
WriteFreely remains boastful and bumptious by default; but enabling
the modesty option will tone it down and likely lead to less confusion
among average users.
Ref T676
This adds a new "Secure (port 443), auto certificate" option to the "Web
server mode" prompt when running `writefreely --config`. When chosen,
it'll set `autocert` to `true` and set the path for certs and keys to
`certs`.
Ref T542
This adds a new config option in the `[server]` section: `autocert`.
When true, WF will automatically generate certificates instead of using
ones from the provided cert path. However, all generated certificates
will be stored in the configured `tls_cert_path`.
Ref T542
Use the split argument list (slice) just for validation purposes
as it's substantially easier to do `.contains` in a string instead
of a slice. As such, pass the `configSections` arguments to
`Configure()` and check the existence of each one before showing
the options to the user.
An empty argument list is replaced by "server db app" so everything
is there negating the need to check anything else in `Configure()`.
In the same vein the default is "server db app".
The parsing is done in `app.go` alongside the other flags instead
of `main.go` as described in T657.
Add --sections flag to app.go according to T657, parse them
into a string array (check for invalid arguments and abort)
and pass them to Configure(). For now Configure() doesn't do
anything with them yet.
This is the start of all changes needed to support entirely private
instances, where all blogs are only visible to other authenticated users
on an instance (ref T576). It begins by changing how Handler methods check an
endpoint's permissions.
- Renames UserLevelLEVEL consts to UserLevelLEVELType
- Adds UserLevelLEVEL funcs with same names as previous consts. Each
returns a UserLevel
- Adds a new UserLevelReader that restricts access based on app
configuration. This is now used on collections and posts.
- Changes routing a bit so static files are always accessible
This adds a new `landing` value in the [app] section of config.ini.
If non-empty, unauthenticated users on multi-user instances will be
redirected to the path given there.
This closes T574
This adds new configuration values that specify the parent directory of
application resources:
- templates_parent_dir
- static_parent_dir
- pages_parent_dir
- keys_parent_dir
For any values not specified, the application will default to the
current directory.
This closes T560
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 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
This allows users to load a different configuration file instead of the
default config.ini. It works in combination with other configuration
actions, like --config and --create-config.
Minimal changes, definitely WIP, to resolve:
- how to support dualstack when not using localhost?
- net/http package uses string, mentions IP address instead of bind,
need info.
This supports running the server on port 443, serving secure pages, with
automatic redirects from the insecure site. It also modifies the
configuration process to better guide users through configuring for
running behind a reverse proxy or as a standalone server.
This closes T537
