The first part of improving the API is removing all admin functions from
the front end so those no admin methods will be available client side.
The urls in the FipamoAdmin js file have been changed to post directly to the
system and they are handled from there. To account for this change
controller routes for every standard method have been created for better
organization and readability.
The FipamoAdmin js file will be integrated with the rest of the front
end code and will not be seperate library
the current restore process only restored images and not the additional
file types that are allowed, so that has been added
also tweaked the reset request to include the correct token so the
request does not fail API authorization
the current file backup included images, but the additional asset types
such as sound files, video and docs were not being added if they
existed, so those have been added.
also tweaked the front end script to include the correct token for the
API so the backup request doesn't fail the auth check
when creating new ui elements for uploaded files, the 'data-source'
attribute was being created to store the upload path for the file which
is used to save that info in the page doc.
that attribute should be 'data-id' as that is what sortablejs looks for
when sorting element data into arrays
regrouped api calls for better organization and to add a bit more
security. it now checks to make sure the incoming token matches the
current session to authorize requests
When testing themes, the script wasn't moving all assets that were in
subdirectories of the theme css folder, so that's been fixed so it moves
everything when testing a theme and rendering the site
there was also an issue with saving settings options because the script
was referencing email data that was no longer being provided from the
front end, so it was erroring out trying to save it. those references
have been removed so it's smooth sailing
Removed email settings from settings.json and moved them to the .env
file to use Laravel's mailer functionality.
references to the old mailer has been removed from settings.json,
data sorting class and the settings template file
the front end script has also been updated to accomodate different
message types, starting with a test message so members can make sure the
settings defined in the .env are working
the themes tab has been brought into alignment with the new design, so
the only thing that remains is redoing responsive styles for the
settings page
whew
setting sync is working but member data was not being updated in the
folks file or in the current active session, so that's been addressed
still need to turn on avatar updating as well, but that is tied to
updating the settings page, so that will be handled when image uploads
for that area are reactivated
ported over the backup functionality from the old build to the new while
making few tweaks
instead of packaging up all files in the site to create massive zip
files, now a list of files is created for the user and blog directories
that the system will use to download and put them in the appropriate
directories, resulting in a such slimmer backup file.
archiving images my be added at a later date, but will be kept seperate
from the current back up process
the role attribute is being used incorrectly through out the site, which
is bad for screen reader, so they need to be removed and replaced with
the class attribute
the page editor was the biggest culprit, so that one has been converted
first
the last ui page that needed to be added was managing the main
navigation menu for rendered pages, so that's been turned on. menu
items can be added by pinning pages to the menu when editing them and
can be removed by unpinning them or deleting them from the navigation
edit ui
it touched quite a few systems so all of those classes needed to be
edited as well tweaking the front end script to work with the new
modular script format
the notifications and page editor ui elements where the only remaining
space that still contained font icons, so they've been removed and
replaced with svg
some styling tweaks are still needed so that will handlded as the css
edits continue
turned on the abiity to save settings to config file via the settings
page
the current member session needs to updated by the data coming in but
that will be handled by a specific member service that hasn't been built
yet, so just commenting it out for now
also fixed a minor bug that was stopping the save on render toggle from
working correctly, so now it's saving and updating the status properly
now
with the setting page set up, now the the settings api can be added,
beginning with the ability to render all files from settings.
the base settings api class is set up, so now the rest of the methods
can be added
ported over the new file uploader from the old build and made it a
service make for from some additonal file processing
i.e. image optimization or video converstion before it is saved to the system
start building out the new version of the page editing api while making
some changes to the original scripts for added flexibility and using the
full range of HTTP methods that weren't being used before.
currenlty, it's just an end to end test to make sure the plumbing works
as it should data is being passed and can be processed.
now that it all works, the guts of page editing can be completed
update sortablejs to the latest since it's been awhile and got rid of
the old version
dropped in js from the old site to begin the process of wiring up the
API, but this time around, scripts will be served directly in browswer
rather than being transpiled through NPM/Babel, eliminating the need for
NPM.
also scripting will new modularized and served specifically for the
requirements of the page loading it. no more front loading everything.
only script that is needed for that page will be retrieved. if no
scripting is needed, none will be loaded.
The only casualty so far has been syntax highlighting due to prismjs
still being a common js module, but either this will be replaced with
another library or a custom syntax enginge will be created at a later
date
