Without this, the new version of Stratigility complained about no
response being returned. Old versions were more graceful here, but
this is certainly more correct.
* Improve fulltext gambit
* Only search in visible posts
This change relies on the `visibility-scoping` branch to be merged.
* Change posts table to use InnoDB engine
Doing a JOIN between an InnoDB table (discussions) and a MyISAM table
(posts) is very very (very) bad for performance. FULLTEXT indexes are
fully supported in InnoDB now, and it is a superior engine in every
other way, so there is no longer any reason to be using MyISAM.
* Use ::class
* Only search for comment posts
* Add fulltext index to discussions.title
* Fix migration not working if there is a table prefix
* Update frontend appearance
* Apply fixes from StyleCI

* Overhaul the way model visibility scoping works
- Previously post visibility scoping required concrete knowledge of the
parent discussion, ie. you needed a Discussion model on which you
would call `postsVisibleTo($actor)`. This meant that to fetch posts
from different discussions (eg. when listing user posts), it was a
convoluted process, ultimately causing #1333.
Now posts behave like any other model in terms of visibility scoping,
and you simply call `whereVisibleTo($actor)` on a Post query. This
scope will automatically apply a WHERE EXISTS clause that scopes the
query to only include posts whose discussions are visible too. Thus,
fetching posts from multiple discussions can now be done in a single
query, simplifying things greatly and fixing #1333.
- As such, the ScopePostVisibility event has been removed. Also, the
rest of the "Scope" events have been consolidated into a single event,
ScopeModelVisibility. This event is called whenever a user must have
a certain $ability in order to see a set of discussions. Typically
this ability is just "view". But in the case of discussions which have
been marked as `is_private`, it is "viewPrivate". And in the case of
discussions which have been hidden, it is "hide". etc.
The relevant API on AbstractPolicy has been refined, now providing
`find`, `findPrivate`, `findEmpty`, and `findWithPermission` methods.
This could probably do with further refinement and we can re-address
it once we get around to implementing more Extenders.
- An additional change is that Discussion::comments() (the relation
used to calculate the cached number of replies) now yields "comments
that are not private", where before it meant "comments that are
visible to Guests". This was flawed because eg. comments in non-public
tags are technically not visible to Guests.
Consequently, the Approval extension must adopt usage of `is_private`,
so that posts which are not approved are not included in the replies
count. Fundamentally, `is_private` now indicates that a discussion/
post should be hidden by default and should only be visible if it
meets certain criteria. This is in comparison to non-is_private
entities, which are visible by default and may be hidden if they don't
meet certain criteria.
Note that these changes have not been extensively tested, but I have
been over the logic multiple times and it seems to check out.
* Add event to determine whether a discussion `is_private`
See https://github.com/flarum/core/pull/1153#issuecomment-292693624
* Don't include hidden posts in the comments count
* Apply fixes from StyleCI (#1350)
* Add Custom Footer HTML
Straight copy from Custom Header HTML
* Move Custom Footer HTML to exactly before `</body>` tag.
* Fix invalid class name
* Append CustomFooterHTML when preparing the view.
* Some consistency in placing the variable
ref #1025#1238. This should prevent the frontend from crashing when
opening the notifications menu, but we still need to make sure
notifications are deleted properly when subjects are deleted.
The various middleware can be registered in the service provider,
and the rest of the logic can all go through one single front
controller (index.php in flarum/flarum, and Flarum\Http\Server in
flarum/core).
This will also simplify the necessary server setup, as only one
rewrite rule remains.
They will probably be refactored away at a later stage (when we get
rid of the command bus). Until then, this lets us remove the
Flarum\Core namespace and actually feels quite clean.
* Introduce user display names
It is not uncommon for forums to be intergrated with sites where users
don't have a unique "handle" - they might just have their first name,
or a full name, which is not guaranteed to be unique.
This commit introduces the concept of "display names" for users. By
default display names are the same as usernames, but extensions may
override this and set them to something different. The important thing
is that all code should use `display_name` whenever intending to output
a human-readable name - `username` is reserved for cases where you want
to output a unique identifier (which may or may not be human-friendly).
The new "GetDisplayName" API is probably sub-optimal, but I didn't worry
too much because we can come up with something better in `next-back`.

Currently all of a post's replies are loaded in full whenever the post
is loaded, which is kind of overkill - we really just need to know that
they exist (and who posted them) in order to render the "X replied to
this" line.
