previously all the of the page routing was handlede through controller
organized by CRUD methods. it worked, but organizing by CRUD and not
purpose resulted in more time spent looking for a specific task through
controllers, so it turned out not to an effecient way of organizing.
so routing has been completely reorganized into laravel's web routing
section and methods have been moved to their appropriate controller so
tasks are much easier to find
front facing page routing turned out to be a bit more tricky that
anticipated do the overap of routing paths, but it only affects dynamic
page rendering and there's a patch in place that handles that issue
until a better solution is found. Rendered HTML pages works fine.
whew!
the theme controller was grabbing the index by its page name, which was
bad because that might change. that was replaced with a getById function
since the index id will always be 0 since it's the first page. this is a
seperate function from getByUuid which is a unique indentifier for each
page which was being used interchangably before the fix. all of those
references have been cleaned up to reference which type of id is needed
there was also a bug that happened on rendering when there were special
characters in the title. this was solved by saving the title as a
urlencoded string and then just decodded when it was needed for display
on the front end
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
plugged in the dash index template which required grabbing markdown
pages and converting them to data the system can use and then pagination
that is used to sort content into pages
start page now switches from login screen to index based on session, but
that might be changes so it's a bit more clean to work with middleware
