Right now we have buttons for "New conversation" and "New private message"
in different views, but both buttons do the same thing.
The current state is confusing for new users, since there is already a lot
of terminology one needs to learn in order to understand the Zulip
conversation model. It's very plausible a user would think a "conversation"
is something different from a "private message" or a "topic".
We now use a Proxy to wrap zjquery elements, so
that we can detect callers trying to invoke methods
(or access attributes) that do not exist. We try
to give useful error messages in those cases.
The main impact here is that we force lots of tests
to explicitly stub `length`.
Also, we can't do equality checks on zjquery
objects any more due to the proxy object, but the
easy workaround is to compare selectors. (This
is generally an unnecessary technique, anyway.)
The proxy wrapper is fairly straightforward, and
we just have a few special cases for things like
"inspect" that happen when you try to print out
objects.
This changes the "new private message" button to be instead "new
conversation" when looking at PMs, to avoid confusion that the button
was the right thing to do to reply to the current private message
conversation.
Fixes#11679.
This code will correctly add video call link to the message
textarea based on whether 'Add video call' was selected from
message composition form or message edit form.
The implementation was semi-rewritten by tabbott to remove an
unnecessary global variable, with fixes for the unit tests from
showell.
Fixes#11188.
This seems like a small change (apart from all the
test changes), but it fundamentally changes how
the app finds "topic" on message objects. Now
all code that used to set "subject" now sets "topic"
on message-like objects. We convert incoming messages
to have topic, and we write to "topic" all the way up
to hitting the server (which now accepts "topic" on
incoming endpoints).
We fall back to subject as needed, but the code will
emit a warning that should be heeded--the "subject"
field is prone to becoming stale for things like
topic changes.
The stream/topic edit areas now have these ids:
#stream_message_recipient_stream
#stream_message_recipient_topic
They are pretty verbose, but being able to grep
for these without noise does have some value.
Fixes#10124.
Users in the waiting period category cannot subscribe other users to
a stream. When a user tries to mention another unsubscribed user, a
warning message appears with a subscribe button on it to subscribe
the other user.
This commit removes the subscribe button and changes the warning text
for users in the waiting period category.
Instead of displaying a fixed error message inside the yellow bar itself,
now the yellow bar disappears on error and a red compose_error is shown.
The error message is the one returned from the server.
