The publish date refers to when the artwork was publish which differs from the
'Created At' date. That refers to when the entry was added to the database.
This update is in the nera package. It is part of a refactoring of functionality
to have a seperate 'Publish' date and a 'Created At' date within this site's
database. The 'Created at' date refers to when the entry was added to the
database. The 'Publish' date is the date of the artwork.
This defroute doesn't change anything relevant in the Meilisearch DB so it
doesn't need updating. I've left a comment (mostly for future me) to remind me
not to think I've missed a defroute and try to integrate the Meilisearch stuff
into it.
The defroute to update the thumbnail doesn't need to change but I added a
comment to make it clear in the future -- I can see me forgetting it doesn't
need updating and try to add code which doesn't need to exist.
I, also, did a bit of updating to the layout of the code is parts -- mostly when
setting the alert message.
The re-direct to /search when the user has set /search as the site's home page
is part of a list of other hard-coded re-directs in this site's '/' defroute.
The site now deletes the Archive Entry from the Meilisearch database alongside
the files in the /storage directory and the nera database.
These functions are helper functions to manage the Meiliseach database from
a Common Lisp perspective. The intention is to work them into the website's
back-end so the user can reset or re-populate the database from the website
without me (or someone else) having to SSH into the VM and do fix/restore things
manually. For now, they allow you to manage the database from SLIME.
This change is so the refinements on the seach page shows the month names
instead of thier numbers. This is because most people tend to work with month
names and not numbers in this context.
This is a helper function to convert '1' to 'January', for example. The intended
use for this is to work alongside the local-time package when generating the
month number from a timestamp.
I didn't realise the local-time system set 'Sunday' to '0' in its
timestamp-day-of-week function. I thought it was '7'. This commit changes the
check for '7' to '0' and adds a few comments to help identify which days the cond
form is checking against.
The site now populates the Meilisearch database when the user creates an archive
entry. The Meilisearch needs to be set-up manually at this moment in time so
expect this to break easily if you haven't got Meilisearch working.
I copied most of this over from my personal website's repository. So, there are
bits of code which look a bit out of place in this context. With that said, the
code does run and just needs to be integrated in the defroutes in web.lisp.
The conditions are added to the 'Site Logo' and 'Favicon'
sections/defroutes. The checks are to make sure a user doesn't try to set an MP4
file as the site's favicon or site's logo.
When the user wants to delete their account they must now enter their
username as part of the form they submit. This is so they don't
accidently delete thier account.
This filter is builds the path for the dashboard profile image. The
path points to a different icon in the /images/icons directory
depending on what time and day it is.
There is no major functionality addition with this code. It just a
little sprinkle of cuteness for the user of the site.
I think I had a version of this route but I deleted it -- can't
remember if it wasn't needed or didn't work as intended at the
time. Anyway, this commit makes it part of the code-base (again).
The function provides the website to use the automatically generated
thumbnails -- when a user uploads the an image to /storage/media --
instead of the full-sized image. This should help reduce download
times if a list of uploaded image are several Mega Bytes and being
viewed at once -- like an index page for example.
The automatically generated thumbnails are no longer stored in the
database. They are created, updated and deleted alongside it's main accompanying
image -- as a file in the /storage/media directory.
The route in web.lisp calls the recently created 'get latest'
functions in the nera package. The code is web should be fine but the
dashboard.html stuff is buggy and so is the back-end routes for
uploading deleting file in the /storage section of the website. This
is an end-of-session commit, though, so the bugs will have to be fixed
at a later time.
These functions haven't not been used much so I don't know how
reliable they are in their current forms. Expect some work needed on
them in the future.
I think I will need to swap out the string value 'success' with a
constant so things aren't as stringly-typed as this. With that said,
this is just a quick proof-of-concept. I can keep this around until I
build out this updated feature some more.
I hard-coded redirects to the pages which can't be deleted into the
site's index ('/' route). This allows them to be set as the home page
in the site's settings.
I, also, updated the data which is passed to
nera:update-nav-menu. This change is part of the Nav. Menu settings in
the site's settings.
The function now loops through the values passes to it and sets the
'enable-nav-menu- column in the database for the currently selected
page in the loop.
The code now removes the old thumbnail file, stores the new one and
updates the database entry. I found it easier to keep track of the
changes whilst developing by doing this.
