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
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
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
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
