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.
These files are generated during the website's first-run process. They
don't need to be a actual hard-coded part of the repository. The way
the site is set-up, the user will either stick with the
defaults (generated on first-run) or upload their own personal files.
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 move the alert section to the /layouts/header.html template because
it was easier to get it to render between the logged-in user's site
header and the site's 'normal' header.
The site's side-menu (for logged-in users) still needs stuff adding to
it -- and tweaking -- but the base style, layout and whatnot is in
place.
I've moved/changed how I was using the /static directory (site-wide
snippet) so I can start adding in images and what have you again. I
didn't realise I had set Git to ignore the how /static directory.
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 nav. menu section sends a hidden value if a check box isn't
selected. This is in preparation for implementing the back-end part of
this feature.
I, also, removed the if-statements when selecting the home page in the
'Home Page' settings. Again, this in preparation for adjusting the
back-end functionality for this feature.
I'm changing the snippet to be stored as HTML instead of
JavaScript. I'm, also, storing the snippet in /storage/snippets
instead of /static. This makes it easier to hook it up to my Umami
instance in the future if Nic wants to do that.
