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.
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
decided to keep the sorting service class as is and remix how it works to
return data objects rather than just settings information to render
pages.
the overall size of the class is still large but now there are
some opportunites to move around some methodolgy to reduce it.
also made the necessary changes in the render service class and the
theme controller to use the new methodology
it's time to get the setting api running so site options can be editied
so the first step is to get the settings page up and running.
the sorting class is getting a bit heavy, but it will hold the method
for gathering settings page info for now.
page rendering for tags, archives and markdown pages is now up and
running and being exported to html when requested.
currently it only works when saving a page, so now the settings page
needs to be plugged in so those features can be activated and toggled
through that UI
error checking will probably be added in the near future just in case
something unforeseen happens in the render process, resulting in the
site erroring out.
theme controller was getting top heavy, so an asset service class was
plugged in to handle moving assets around for theme testing and
eventually to production when HTML rendering is set up
the remaining base template pages have beeen converted to blade as well
as filling out the data they need to render being added to the sorting
service class
theming controller and and sorting service still need to be optimized
but they work so now they can be refined
once they have been cleaned up, the render service is class is ready to
be finished
to complete page rendering, the default theme needed to be converted to
use blade templating. rather than update the theme kit as a seperate
progress, it will be integrated into this codebase so themes can be
developed and tested in app.
the basics for the theme kit are in place, so now conversion of the
defualt theme can be completed.
once the that is done, it can then be used to complete the rendering
engine to export HTML files
