the theme color for the dashboard was incorrect, so that has been
updated and the responsive sticky for the text formatter in the page
editor went funky with posts that had a lot of text so that's been
adjusted so it behaves as it should when it has to resize and stick
there was a minor bug that was preventing uploaded files to be removed
from the editor page even thought the remove button was pressed.
found and fixed
the first part of the setting API has been restored, with the methods
sync, publish and nav-sync restored to working order under the new API
pattern. Documentation for the API will be completed after the upgrade
is complete.
There was also a script error when trying to edit a page from the link
menu on the dashboard, so that has been fixed as well
API Security has been reworked to check if request is secure, verifies
the API token created on site setup given to every member, and then
confirms the system is accepting API requests by way of the API enabled
toggle in settings
API usage is now only meant for backend use, so this needs to be noted
in the docs
removed all remaining API requests from the front end and removed the
FipamoAdminAPI js file, changing it to ContentRequest as it now handles
posting data to the system directly, authenticating it self by checking
the embedded CSRF token that regulary rotates
also renamed MaintenanceManager to Maintenance request and moved it to
the same dir as ContentRequest as they are both libraries that connect
to the backend
The first part of improving the API is removing all admin functions from
the front end so those no admin methods will be available client side.
The urls in the FipamoAdmin js file have been changed to post directly to the
system and they are handled from there. To account for this change
controller routes for every standard method have been created for better
organization and readability.
The FipamoAdmin js file will be integrated with the rest of the front
end code and will not be seperate library
the current restore process only restored images and not the additional
file types that are allowed, so that has been added
also tweaked the reset request to include the correct token so the
request does not fail API authorization
the current file backup included images, but the additional asset types
such as sound files, video and docs were not being added if they
existed, so those have been added.
also tweaked the front end script to include the correct token for the
API so the backup request doesn't fail the auth check
when creating new ui elements for uploaded files, the 'data-source'
attribute was being created to store the upload path for the file which
is used to save that info in the page doc.
that attribute should be 'data-id' as that is what sortablejs looks for
when sorting element data into arrays
regrouped api calls for better organization and to add a bit more
security. it now checks to make sure the incoming token matches the
current session to authorize requests
added a post install script to the composer.json file to automate the
creation of the .env file which hold app specific configs
also added a helper function to create new keys in the future
data sorting needed a new variable to differentiate between index page
rendering and standard page rendering, so that was added to the return
as well as updating the render script to include the variable that
wasn't being added for tags
also updated the git ignore file to ignore global images that are not
used by the base system. the script theme folder needs to be ignore as
well as that is going to updated by the theme itself for front end
coding and not used by the system
When testing themes, the script wasn't moving all assets that were in
subdirectories of the theme css folder, so that's been fixed so it moves
everything when testing a theme and rendering the site
there was also an issue with saving settings options because the script
was referencing email data that was no longer being provided from the
front end, so it was erroring out trying to save it. those references
have been removed so it's smooth sailing
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
ripped out all of the old responsive styles from the setting layou and
plugged in the new format.
still needs some polish but the new structure is in place, so progress
will be easier
some script got removed during the restruction that included the js
handler for the mobile menu, so that was replaced with a css toggle to
keep it simple
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
redid the css for the member profile tab under settings.
responsive style still need to be addressed, but that will happen after
all tabs have been converted to the new layout
setting sync is working but member data was not being updated in the
folks file or in the current active session, so that's been addressed
still need to turn on avatar updating as well, but that is tied to
updating the settings page, so that will be handled when image uploads
for that area are reactivated
added some labels to login and set up forms for better accesibility and
clarity about what info is being requested.
found a bug in setting where the site would error out if it can't find
the correct config files instead of going to set up, so when config
files aren't present, it loads template files to continue to process.
still thinking about a better fix for this
also discovered that the init files needed for a fresh install had been
removed, so those are back in place
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
a basic preview engine has been added to ease the process of editing
pages. currently it previews all basic templates and custom created
pages
this is will replace the external fipamo theme kit tool, which will be
archived
conversion of markdown files to html works fine, but the coresponding
css, js and image assets were not being moved, so the class responsible
for moving them was edited so theme assets are moved to their
appropriate directories when the site is published.
also made some css and image edits, and removed a legacy css files that
were no longer in use
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.
ported over the backup functionality from the old build to the new while
making few tweaks
instead of packaging up all files in the site to create massive zip
files, now a list of files is created for the user and blog directories
that the system will use to download and put them in the appropriate
directories, resulting in a such slimmer backup file.
archiving images my be added at a later date, but will be kept seperate
from the current back up process
improperly used role attributes have been removed from navigation edit
template
there was also a duplicate class attribute error in notifications that
has been fixed
the role attribute is being used incorrectly through out the site, which
is bad for screen reader, so they need to be removed and replaced with
the class attribute
the page editor was the biggest culprit, so that one has been converted
first
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
the last ui page that needed to be added was managing the main
navigation menu for rendered pages, so that's been turned on. menu
items can be added by pinning pages to the menu when editing them and
can be removed by unpinning them or deleting them from the navigation
edit ui
it touched quite a few systems so all of those classes needed to be
edited as well tweaking the front end script to work with the new
modular script format
the notifications and page editor ui elements where the only remaining
space that still contained font icons, so they've been removed and
replaced with svg
some styling tweaks are still needed so that will handlded as the css
edits continue
a quick test to see if more svg icons can be added to the base sprite
file to keep them all in the same place
it worked, so additional icons will be added to sprite file
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
