the update process now compiles public comments from instance blocklists
and displays them, so the name of the table that stores these comments
has been changed so it's not confusing.
also made the appropriate changes on the backend and in the template
that shows that information
now that editing member work, that process needed to be fleshed out by
adding an admin method to add new members as well. now new members can
be added by an admin
also changed the name of a blade file that wasn't following the template
naming convention
needed way to edit existing members info if needed, so simple ui was
created for admins of the site to change specific info, not including a
members avi or password.
also consolidated memeber action and ui into it's own controller for the
sake of clearer organization
changed the the way files are uploaded to go into their own directory
called 'references' organized by location, identified by uuid. the
'references' directory was added to git ignore to those images are not
saved in the repo, since every install will have their own set of images
also updated reference links to be shown on the front end if they have
been added to a location
unnecessary links where moved from the admin member template since they
have been incorporated into the appropriate area.
a template for editing member account information has also been added.
The admin area needed to be reorganized as it was a bit all over the
place to accomodate new features.
And edit link was added to location detail pages so authorized members
can edit when necessary.
Form elements were loosened up a bit to give them a bit more breathing
room
The plumbing for editing location info has been updated, so that data
can be changed by authorized memebers. Also added a new data point for
locations to store archive links
part 2 will focus on setting up permissions and authorizations as well
as smoothing out adding new members and member roles. an edit link will
be added to locations, which will be visible for members with the
correct permissions
The script for collection blocklist info was getting a little heavy, so
it's been split in two to make it more accessible and easier to
maintain. The first part collects data from current sources and stores
it for the second part of the script, which compiles all the data and
updated the database.
The Source model was expanded to track votes so block and silence counts
can be easily verified on the backend.
Added additional pages About, Listings, and Location as well as
implementing the corresponding functionality for those pages to be able
to pull the data they need from the DB.
Also continued layout clean up and adjusted some gloabal font sizing
settings
Functionality is coming along at a good pace, so it was time to start
adjusting the templates and styles to the new layout.
Responsive will come after all of the pages have been updated.
Brought over the old form for adding new location to the db and the
plugged everything back up using Laravel's eloquent orm (which is pretty
fucking sweet) to re-active that process
NOTE: larvel gets a twitchy when sequencing isn't explicitly set some
minor edits needed to be made to the development DB to prevent a null id
error when inserting new records. this should be done to production when
it's ready as well
Added the necessary template files for every page needed. Most are still
empty but all are accounted for from the previous version.
Also organized all routes to the dashboard, named the den for better security
Rebuilt member authorization and session handling within Laravel's
envirnoment. Sticking with bcrypt encryption for passwords to make the
transistion simple.
