laraval had a milestone update to version 11, so the codebase needed an
updgrade.
there was one package that wasn't needed that was blocking the upgrade
because it was attached to a hard coded dependency in an older version
of laravel so it was removed.
this changed required an edit of some template files, so those changes
were made as well
the first part of the page editing API is working again after porting it over
form the old fipamo build. a few changes where made to make the code a
big more managable, but the end to end process works for updating pages.
the remaining page editing methods will be activated after the rendering
engine is in place because that's going to be a pretty siginficant
effort.
but this is a big step.
expanded the auth service class to store member info in the current
session so validation is easier
also added a token to session data that expires every hour so people
won't be logged in forever and take breaks
hey, you matter too
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
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
Plugged in a basic auth classs for verifying members and a setting class
to retrieve site settings and return necessary info.
Very bare bones to start just to get it working and prep for the
additional features
Removed the Slim Framework from the codebase and installed the latest
Laravel version to be the new foundation for the project moving forward.
Code from the old version will now be ported to the new version.
Composer dependencies were pretty old, so they needed to be upgraded to
the latest.
There was also a minor bug that was triggered when a new page was saved
with empty tags and no images or documents, so that's been patched as
well.
Composer package dependencies hadn't been updated in awhile, so a part
of the clean up for the php 8.1 install, that has been handled
Moment was being used to handle date formatting but it hasn't been
updated in awhile either, so I switched to Carbon which is still in
active development.
