Allow forum posts to link to GitHub issue or milestoneForum issues

[10done]

fixes #463

I implemented this by wrapping the GitHub issue and milestone links in a flex container using Tailwind CSS utility classes, which allowed me to horizontally align the icons and text uniformly. By applying classes like "mt-4 flex items-center space-x-4" to the container and "inline-flex items-center" to each link, I ensured consistent spacing and alignment, resulting in a cleaner and more organized appearance on the forum page.

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces new functionality for linking GitHub resources with forum topics. A new form class with optional GitHub URL fields is created in web/forms.py along with custom validators. The ForumTopic model has been updated to include these URL fields via model changes and a corresponding migration file. Additionally, templates for creating, editing, and displaying forum topics have been updated to incorporate the new fields and adjust the UI. A new view topic_detail is added to render topic details and update view counts.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
