this helps computers interpret and manipulate the website content (example: pronunciation for assistive tech). if tbs ever gets a language setting that should be reflected here.
this change allows us to use the font colour for the icon. it might also be nice to use a sprite.svg for all icons. this would use the same <use> mechanism as i did here.
this also optimises the SVG a bit
when reading sources, CSV file were being listed as 'none' when going
through the loop and no file was present. commented that part out so
'none' is not being repeated
changes:
- `<strong>` → `<h3>`
- add a `.strong` class to mimic the `<strong>` behaviour
- wrap lists in `<ul>`
- provide feedback when no sources are available
A UI has been added for entering new sources and editing pre-existing
ones. No more having to edit the DB directly when wanting to add or
remove a source.
At some point the composer json got jacked, so that needed to be fixed
to update laravel to the latest.
also started putting in pieces for sources management through the UI
after the site is installed and the DB set up, there needed to be a way
to create the first account that will be used as the admin to access the
den, the admin section of tbs
the system makes a check to see if this account exists and if there
isn't one present, it shows the admin account set up screen on the
index. it goes away after the account is created.
a quick update to the composer file to have proper versioning and some
details about the project,
also updated the template to reflect the current version
locations needed another data point for notes to additional information
about instances that aren't covered by public comments, i.e. if the site
is still live, additional concerns, etc, so that's been added and the
appropriate template files added
also, public comments where not being included in the CSV exports, so that's
been patched as well
the update process now compiles public comments from instance blocklists
and displays them, so the name of the table that stores these comments
has been changed so it's not confusing.
also made the appropriate changes on the backend and in the template
that shows that information
now that editing member work, that process needed to be fleshed out by
adding an admin method to add new members as well. now new members can
be added by an admin
also changed the name of a blade file that wasn't following the template
naming convention
needed way to edit existing members info if needed, so simple ui was
created for admins of the site to change specific info, not including a
members avi or password.
also consolidated memeber action and ui into it's own controller for the
sake of clearer organization
the previous update cycle only showed the latest comment from Sources
concerning a specific instance
now all available comments are pulled from denylist data to be displayed
under Description on the front end
changed the the way files are uploaded to go into their own directory
called 'references' organized by location, identified by uuid. the
'references' directory was added to git ignore to those images are not
saved in the repo, since every install will have their own set of images
also updated reference links to be shown on the front end if they have
been added to a location
unnecessary links where moved from the admin member template since they
have been incorporated into the appropriate area.
a template for editing member account information has also been added.
The process for updating blocklists per source wasn't effecient, so it
has been rewritten to process each source individually before moving on,
relieving some processing load on the server and ensuring every source
comes back with data, even in the event it doesn't grab it the first
time.
also removed the recent list from the index page as the recently updated
list doesn't reflect what's been the last to get updated and changed the
theme color to match the current palette.
codebase was a version behind the latest laravel version, so all those
dependencies have been update to bring it up to speed
also added a small tweak to fix a firefox specific bug with rendering
CSS files
The admin area needed to be reorganized as it was a bit all over the
place to accomodate new features.
And edit link was added to location detail pages so authorized members
can edit when necessary.
Form elements were loosened up a bit to give them a bit more breathing
room
The plumbing for editing location info has been updated, so that data
can be changed by authorized memebers. Also added a new data point for
locations to store archive links
part 2 will focus on setting up permissions and authorizations as well
as smoothing out adding new members and member roles. an edit link will
be added to locations, which will be visible for members with the
correct permissions
The script for collection blocklist info was getting a little heavy, so
it's been split in two to make it more accessible and easier to
maintain. The first part collects data from current sources and stores
it for the second part of the script, which compiles all the data and
updated the database.
The Source model was expanded to track votes so block and silence counts
can be easily verified on the backend.
Adding total actions count to location data has made it possible to
simplify backend data queries, so the custom pagination was optimized
and location repositories have been cleaned up.
the front end controller has been cleaned up as well, which has resulted
in the appropriate template being polished up as well.
Changed the appeal process so that each request is tracked in the
database to make reviewing and time limits easier to manage.
An email is still sent but it's just a notifcation to let the admin know
an appeal has been filed.
Hit the major friction points in the responsive UI. Still have some
polishing to do but there shouldn't be any show stoppers at this points.
Also moved some variable to the env so they can be changed easily when
necessary
Put together a quick test to get internal messaging working for appeals
and joining current sources requests. Now that it works, forms that will
leverage messaging will be created.
Updated the design for pages displaying information about specifiic
locations to clearly display heat rating, silence and suspeneded
statistics.
Also inlcude a descriptor for heat rating.
Added some preliminary Bad Spade stats to the index to set up a space
for additional information to be shared in the future. Starting with an
accurate display of locations tracked, Current Sources count and
last update date
Search methodolgy has been tweaked and the correspending result links
have been updated, as well as links in the Listing page to display both
silence and suspend counts and the overall heat rating.
Also plugged in new silence and suspend icons provideb by
https://rage.love/@puf. Big thanks for that, man.
Started the front end refresh by starting to plug in the new design on
the index page. The search methodology was still not consistent, so that
process was cleaned up to display what is actually being tracked based
on the two action criteria, then updating the design for the location
links to be clear and display the heat rating.
Added a repo link to the About section.
Reactivated CSV exports based on Heat Rating, which is the percentage of
Current Sources the have taken action, a suspend or a silence, against
an instanct. The higher the Heat Rating, the more Sources that have
taken actions agaisnt it, so they should be viewed with caution
Actions taken against and instance of have been separted into their
respective buckets so they can be display properly rather than simply
grouped together and mislabled.
This gives a better sense of the severity of response per instance.
Finally moved over the public search API from the old version and
updated the about page to show the new data structure
Also tweaked the location update script to change 'defederate' to
'suspend' for the sake of consistency
Tweaked the about page to include some langauge talking about where the
data is coming from and how it's being used and linking to the
respective sources
