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!
moved page meta data to it's own ui to clean up the page editing
experience as it was becoming a bit crowded.
also moved to saving and deleting buttons to title bar so they are
always available
added a note to web routes to reorganize them within the web routes file
to reduce the confusion present by having them in their own Controllers.
it's just an extra layer that's not needed
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
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
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
Brought over a template from the old build to see how the conversion
process would go (it's not bad) and see if the CSS would still stick (it
did)
The wiring will be finished when the auth class is completed
