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.
Changed the appeal process so that each request is tracked in the
database to make reviewing and time limits easier to manage.
An email is still sent but it's just a notifcation to let the admin know
an appeal has been filed.
Put together a quick test to get internal messaging working for appeals
and joining current sources requests. Now that it works, forms that will
leverage messaging will be created.
Reactivated CSV exports based on Heat Rating, which is the percentage of
Current Sources the have taken action, a suspend or a silence, against
an instanct. The higher the Heat Rating, the more Sources that have
taken actions agaisnt it, so they should be viewed with caution
Finally moved over the public search API from the old version and
updated the about page to show the new data structure
Also tweaked the location update script to change 'defederate' to
'suspend' for the sake of consistency
Swithced the main nav to a mobile layout to cut down on complex
responsive styling to make the heaader work.
Also began touching up site wide responsive styles so the site works on
multiple devices.
Turned on the new preliminary search on the index page. Still pretty
raw but wanted to make sure all the plumbing was there.
Next stage is to clean it up a bit and make it sexy
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
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.
Added some controllers and template pages to test connection with the db
and begin the process of porting over functionality to this version.
Also made some minor tweaks to formatting configs and updated a color in
the css
Archived previous version to switch codebase to Laravel framework for
the sake of reducing complexity to lower the barrier for entry for
potential contributers. Because easier is always better.
