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
added a post install script to the composer.json file to automate the
creation of the .env file which hold app specific configs
also added a helper function to create new keys in the future
data sorting needed a new variable to differentiate between index page
rendering and standard page rendering, so that was added to the return
as well as updating the render script to include the variable that
wasn't being added for tags
also updated the git ignore file to ignore global images that are not
used by the base system. the script theme folder needs to be ignore as
well as that is going to updated by the theme itself for front end
coding and not used by the system
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
ripped out all of the old responsive styles from the setting layou and
plugged in the new format.
still needs some polish but the new structure is in place, so progress
will be easier
some script got removed during the restruction that included the js
handler for the mobile menu, so that was replaced with a css toggle to
keep it simple
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
redid the css for the member profile tab under settings.
responsive style still need to be addressed, but that will happen after
all tabs have been converted to the new layout
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
added some labels to login and set up forms for better accesibility and
clarity about what info is being requested.
found a bug in setting where the site would error out if it can't find
the correct config files instead of going to set up, so when config
files aren't present, it loads template files to continue to process.
still thinking about a better fix for this
also discovered that the init files needed for a fresh install had been
removed, so those are back in place
main navigation had buttons nested inside of href tags to house previous
font icons that were removed, so the nesting is no longer needed and it
could introduce accessibility propblems, so it needed to be cleande up
now they are hrefs styled as the previous buttons so there is no visual
change in the UI
a basic preview engine has been added to ease the process of editing
pages. currently it previews all basic templates and custom created
pages
this is will replace the external fipamo theme kit tool, which will be
archived
conversion of markdown files to html works fine, but the coresponding
css, js and image assets were not being moved, so the class responsible
for moving them was edited so theme assets are moved to their
appropriate directories when the site is published.
also made some css and image edits, and removed a legacy css files that
were no longer in use
the default theme included with fipamo was a bit janky, so that's been
cleaned to bring it more inline with current accessiblility standards,
an updated mobile friendly menu, updated the logo and plugged in the
fresh colors.
the layout is still a bit boring but the main purpose of the default is
to show how templating works, so it needs to be kept as simple as
possible
but it still has some room for making it pop a bit more.
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
improperly used role attributes have been removed from navigation edit
template
there was also a duplicate class attribute error in notifications that
has been fixed
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
there were some random logos in the global images folder, so that was
cleaned up and replaced with primary and secondary options according to
the current color palette for the sake of flexibility
found a nice repo of svg icons, so experimented with adding one to the
sprite sheet to see if it works, which it does
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
a quick test to see if more svg icons can be added to the base sprite
file to keep them all in the same place
it worked, so additional icons will be added to sprite file
using a font for icons isn't great for site accessibility, so all font
icons will be removed and replaced with svgs.
nav and sub nav, page options and recent meta have been replaced
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
editing page works but making new pages was still wonky, so that was
fixed and now page creation works fine
made some minor tweaks to prettier config for css formatting
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
Got the first part of the API working, which checks to see if there is a
valid session active to set up requests
also some small changes to get the favicon working, yeah, yeah, but it's
cool looking...
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
There are some spacing issues that need to be addressed but the page
editor template has been added and the CSS all lines up
scripting is still an issue as the backend that handles content still
isn't in place, but the front facing piece is in place so now those
components can be built
scripting is going to get an overhaul anyway, so this is a good place to
start that process
