- In a recent change to ownership verification email flow, we changed the FROM address of ownership verification mails to use the same email as the one we are verifying, aka TO address.
- Email clients like Gmail flags off such emails as possible spam
- Fix updates the `FROM` address to `noreply@domain.com` where domain.com is domain for TO address
- In case the TO is already noreply@domain.com, we use no-reply@domain.com to bypass the same address restriction.
no issue
- The new Portal config flag allows switching on Portal conditionally with config
- The dev experiment flag still works for enabling Portal
- The flag currently defaults to `false` as Portal is still a beta feature and switched off by default
- We expose it on the admin api config endpoint so that the Ghost-Admin client can use it to conditionally render Portal settings
no issue
- Members site data was not appending blog domain for default support address which is `noreply`
- The change allows Portal to use default support address correctly
requires https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/12192
- added initial `EmailBatch` and `EmailRecipient` model definitions with defaults and relationships
- added missing `post` relationship function to email model
- fetch member list without bookshelf
- bookshelf can add around 3x overhead when fetching the members list for an email
- we don't need full members at this point, only having the data is fine
- if we need full models later on we can push the model hydration into background jobs where recipient batches are fetched ready for an email to be sent
- bookshelf model instantiation of many models blocks the event loop, using knex directly keeps concurrent requests fast
- store recipient list before sending email
- chunk already-fetched members list into batches and insert records into the `email_recipients` table via knex
- chunked into batches of 1000 to match the number of emails that Mailgun accepts in a single API request but this may not be the absolute fastest batch size for recipient insertion:
| Batch size | Batch time | Total time |
| ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| 500 | 20ms | 4142ms |
| 1000 | 50ms | 4651ms |
| 5000 | 170ms | 3540ms |
| 10000 | 370ms | 3684ms |
- create an email_batch record before inserting recipient rows so we can effeciently fetch recipients by batch and store the overall batch status
no issue
We want to store a list of recipients for each bulk email so that we have a consistent set of data that background processing/sending jobs can work from without worrying about moving large data sets around or member data changing mid-send.
- `email_batches` table acts as a join table with status for email<->email_recipient
- stores a provider-specific ID that we get back when submitting a batch for sending to the bulk email provider
- `status` allows for batch-specific status updates and picking up where we left off when submitting batches if needed
- explicitly tying a list of email recipients to a batch allows for partial retries
- `email_recipients` table acts as a join table for email<->member
- `member_id` does not have a foreign key constraint because members can be deleted but does have an index so that we can efficiently query which emails a member has received
- stores static copies of the member info present at the time of sending an email for consistency in background jobs and auditing/historical data
refs #2635
- Adds 'Location' header to endpoints which create new resources and have corresponding `GET` endpoint as speced in JSON API - https://jsonapi.org/format/#crud-creating-responses-201. Specifically:
/posts/
/pages/
/integrations/
/tags/
/members/
/labels/
/notifications/
/invites/
- Adding the header should allow for better resource discoverability and improved logging readability
- Added `url` property to the frame constructor. Data in `url` should give enough information to later build up the `Location` header URL for created resource.
- Added Location header to headers handler. The Location value is built up from a combination of request URL and the id that is present in the response for the resource. The header is automatically added to requests coming to `add` controller methods which return `id` property in the frame result
- Excluded Webhooks API as there is no "GET" endpoint available to fetch the resource
closes#12045
- When member's email is updated to an already existing email of different member it caused table's unique constraint error, which was not handled properly.
- Added handling for this error similar to one in members `add` method.
closes#11999
- When the routes.yaml file changes (manually or through API) we need
to store a checksum to be able to optimize routes reloads in the future
- Added mechanism to detect differences between stored and current routes.yaml hash value
- Added routes.yaml sync on server boot
- Added routes.yaml handling in controllers
- Added routes hash synchronization method in core settings. It lives in core settings
as it needs access to model layer. To avoid coupling with the frontend settings it accepts
a function which has to resolve to a routes hash
- Added note about settings validation side-effect. It mutates input!
- Added async check for currently loaded routes hash
- Extended frontend settings loader with async loader. The default behavior of the loader is
to load settings syncronously for reasons spelled in 0ac19dcf84
To avoid blocking the eventloop added async loading method
- Refactored frontend setting loader for reusability of settings file path
- Added integrity check test for routes.yaml file
closes#12060
- A 500 error what happening when invited user provided an email that is associated with an existing user
- Additional validation for existing email address was added to prevent invalid data hitting db constraint error
no issue
ATM users have to add logic to their themes in order to automatically hide restricted content. The {{content}} helper is updated to return a default CTA box instead of the post content for restricted posts with default static text using site's accent color and opening Portal for relevant action. This is currently behind the dev experiment flag.
- Adds new default content helper template in case of restricted content
- Updates content helper to trigger new CTA template in case of restricted content

- The `routes_hash` setting will be used during the boot process to update the hash

- The async/await syntax makes it easier to reason about the code. Because adding 'Location' header is in the works it's a prep-work in a sense
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/members.js/issues/94
- The member-api package was recently updated to work directly with models and needs explicit `withRelated` options to attack relations
- Without options, the endpoint was returning the default member data without subscriptions attached, which in Portal showed paid member as free
- Fix updates the middleware for updating member data to correctly pass the relations needed to populate the member
no issue
- By default for new sites, support address is set same as from address to `noreply` , with full email address using the domain for `@`
- For newsletter emails, the support address was missing the default site domain to be added to address if its `noreply`
- Fix updates the support address to use the same format as from address and add relevant domain for default case

- We used existing "from" address as sender for mails sent to new email address for verification, but that breaks the flow to update if the current "from" address has DMARC policy set.
- This updates the flow to always send the ownership verification email TO the new address and FROM the new address which both verifies the email deliverability for new address and ownership
no issue
- The newsletter emails are sent out with `from` address as sender
- The new `members_reply_address` setting is now used to set reply-to address for emails, which can be either newsletter or support address
no issue
- Member auth emails were previously using the `from` address as sender
- New `members_support_address` was introduced with default as original "from" address
- Auth emails use the new support address as sender

- When an import was done and there were no "global labels" present Ghost created generic `import-[data]` label which later helped to find a specific batch of imported data
- It did not make sense to create such generic label when user provided their own unique label
- The rules that work now are:
1. When there is no global provided Ghost generates on and removes it in case there are no imported records
2. When there is a unique new global label provided no new label is generated, but the label stays even if there are no imported records
no issue
- tested performance between knex raw, knex `count()` and bookshelf `count()` and found no difference over 1000 iterations of each (each ~19,500ms +- 500ms for 104k members locally)
- switched to using bookshelf as the code is the simplest
no issue
- extract filtering of an collection into a separate function
- use extracted function in `findAll()` so that it's query behaviour matches `findPage()`
no issue
- for large result sets or complex queries the count query itself can be quite time consuming
- when `limit: 'all'` is passed as an option there's no need to perform a separate count query because we can determine the pagination data from the final result set
- skipped count query when `limit: 'all'` option is present
- re-ordered comments to be closer to the code they reference (ie, why we have our own count query instead of Bookshelf's `.count()`
no issue
- This is handled on input sanitization layer with date
format check in JSON schema validation, so there's no need to do this
check again in the importer.
no issue
- When bulk insert fails there is no transactional logic to revert
related records form being inserted. Also, previously there were no
attempts to "retry" the insert.
- To avoid complex retry logic, an iterative one-by-one insert retry
approach was taken. If this becomes a bottleneck in the future, the
retry algorithm could be improved.
- To avoid a lot of code duplication refactored model's `bulkAdd` & `bulkDestroy`
methods to use 'bulk-operations' module.
- Updated error handling and logging for bulk delete operations. It's very
unlikely for error to happen here, but still need to make sure there is
a proper logging in place to trace back the failure.
- Added debug logs. This should improve debugging experience and
performance measurements.
- Added handling for unrecognized errors. Handling inspired by current unrecognized
error handling by ghost importer -10e5d5f3d4/core/server/data/importer/importers/data/base.js (L148-L154)

- adds a background-url style to the thumbnail container to give two options for styling
- updates member email template styling to hide the `<img>` element in bookmark cards and use a background image instead to get consistent rendering across email clients

- Adds new `editSubscription` endpoint for members admin API which allows updating individual subscription for a member - `PUT /members/:id/subscriptions/:subscription_id/`
- `editSubscription` has same permissions as member's `edit` endpoint
- Currently allows toggling of cancellation at period end for an active subscription
no issue
- Similar handling to one introduced in 8418c829de
- Having granular tracking for failed to remove id's would make it possible to return more specific errors to the client
no issue
- When batch insert fails handling should be more granular and aim to retry and insert as many records from the batch as possible.
- Added retry logic for failed member's batch inserts. It's a sequential insert for each record in the batch. This implementation was chosen to keep it as simple as possible
- Added filtering of "toCreate" records when member fails to insert. We should not try inserting related members_labels/members_stripe_customers/members_stripe_customer_subscriptions records because they would definitely fail insertion without associated member record
no issue
- When stripe is disconnected and there are Stripe-connected records present in imported set they should not be processed and proper error should be thrown

closes#12078
- Root cause was that pseudo class .kg-bookmark-author:after was not getting inlined to email newsletter or its preview.
- That is where the margin and bullet-point content are added between author and publisher.
- Dependency juice supports an option inlinePseudoElements which is false by default.
- Fix was to set inlinePseudoElements to true when serializing post email.

- testmode allows us to test Ghost's behaviour with long running requests and jobs
- moved all the testmode logging to only happen if Ghost starts successfully to make it clearer what is happening
- added a (currently very dirty) bit of code to fetch the jobService and output the queue status giving us a similar
output for both open connections and jobs
- all of this allows for debugging exactly what Ghost is doing whilst it is processing a shutdown request

- image and gallery cards now output `width/height` attributes on `img` elements with a max width of 600px
- uses resized images where possible to keep email weight down
- adds `height: auto` style to image card images so that the `height` attribute does not cause distortion at smaller screen widths

Migrations were failing when upgrading from a version that didn't include stripe member subscriptions table. The `up` migration was checking for the existence of a unique index that was added to the schema in 3.29 but it was using the wrong variable name which meant that it would never return true for an existing index. For most migrations this worked because the index existed but when through 2.34 the table was created from scratch and did included the index at that point.

- we output the post excerpt in a hidden div in the email template so that email clients pick it up as the "preview" text when listing emails
- when no custom excerpt is provided the preview text is grabbed from post.excerpt which is the first 500 chars of the post.plaintext value
- post.plaintext formats links as "Link [http://url/]" which is unwanted in html email previews
- add a basic replacement to the post email serializer to remove any `[http://url/]` occurrences from the post excerpt before rendering the email content

- Additional validation is needed for imported data because in case of bulk insertions (through knex) we bypass model layer validation - this could lead to invalid data in the database, which would be hard to fix.
- Chose validation method we use for other endpoints - through JSON Schema. It proved to be very performant (200ms overhead for 50k records). When comparing it with iterative method (validating each record separately) this was adding about 17s of overhead.
- Refactored returned values from "sanitizeInput" method to encapsulate more logic so that the caller doesn't have to calculate amount of invalid records and deal with error types
- Whole sanitizeInput method could now be easily extracted into separate module (somewhere close to members importer)
- Bumped members-csv package. It is meant to handle empty string values - '' and null, which should allow validating member records more consistently!
no issue
- Stripe JS is added to a theme via ghost_head if a Stripe account is connected to members enabled site
- Previously, the script was not loading async which blocked the main thread, changes the script load to async to avoid rendering block
- Members script is already being loaded with `defer` so does not block the main thread
- upon further testing, this started to not work again so I'm removing
this horrible hack
- it could be Bunyan playing around with us, and the server is actually
shutting down
- I have no idea why this is required and I really don't like it
- this change looks superfluous but I had problems with Ghost not
displaying shutting down messages properly and this is the only
thing that got it working
- the async-awaits were getting stuck in `await this._cleanup()`,
and then wouldn't enter into the `finally` block
- oddly, this was only reproducible when a job was running, it would
shut down normally otherwise
- if I find the solution in the mean time, I'll happily get rid of this
no issue
- Updated sanitization logic to be self contained and return sanitieze input along with error stats
- This should give a nice place for validations to fit in
no issue
- There were many failed import records due to rate-limit errors. With concurrency of 9 imports go through with 100% success
- Would need to verify these limits with live API to make the most of it
