Customer does not want the new “masonry-like” design of the surroundings
page, and wants the same style they already had: a regular list with
text and photo, alternating the photo’s side.
And, of course, they want to be able to add and edit them themselves. It
is like another carousel, but with an additional rich-text description.
The photos that we had in that page are no longer of use.
The pets icon is just the same as the notpet but without the diagonal
bar.
The price is hardcoded in the query for now, as there is no field
in the campsite type.
It is better for mobile users, as they can zoom and pan the map in their
small screens.
Had to increase header’s z-index or the zoom controls would be on top
of it.
By default, it selects the next day, unless the new arrival date is
before the current departure, in which case is left as is, because the
idea is to help people avoid useless calendar selections when booking
for next three or four months: they would need to change the month
twice, and now only at most one.
Customer wants four slides in home’s carousel, while keeping three in
the rest of the carousels.
In mobile screen, Oriol told me to always have a single slide, but in
tablet it is the given number minus one.
Customer does not want a contact page, but a page where they can write
the direction on how to reach the campground, with a Google map embed
instead of using Leaflet, because Google Maps shows the reviews right
in the map.
That means i had to replace the GPS locations with XML fields for the
customer to write. In all four languages.
This time i tried a translation approach inspired by PrestaShop: instead
of opening a new page for each language, i have all languages in the
same page and use AlpineJS to show just a single language. It is far
easier to write the translations, even though you do not have the source
text visible, specially in this section that there is no place for me
to put the language links.
Customer does not want the next slide to show partially; either it shows
theo whole slide, or not at all.
Had to remove the min-width for campsite type’s spiel, or it would make
the whole thing fall over, i do not know why; possibly because slick
could not reduce the width to its expected value.
The idea is that the booking form will be prefilled with the values
passed from that other mini-form, and the campsite type is implicit
due to the page where the form is located at, but i need to give it to
the booking page.
The booking page does not yet use that information.
The form is based on the one in the current website, but in a single
page instead of split into many pages; possibly each <fieldset> should
be in a separate page/view. The idea is for Oriol to check the design
and decide how it would be presented to the user, so i needed something
to show him first.
I hardcoded the **test** data for the customer’s Redsys account. Is
this bad? I hope not, but i am not really, really sure.
The data sent to Redsys is just a placeholder because there are booking
details that i do not know, like what i have to do with the “teenagers”
field or the area preferences, thus i can not yet have a booking
relation. Nevertheless, had to generate a random order number up to
12-chars in length or Redsys would refuse the payment, claiming that
the order is duplicated.
The Redsys package is based on the PHP code provided by Redsys
themselves, plus some hints at the implementations from various Go
packages that did not know why they were so complicated.
Had to grant select on table country to guest in order to show the
select with the country options.
I have changed the “Postal code” input in taxDetails for “Postcode”
because this is the spell that it is used in the current web, i did not
see a reason to change it—it is an accepted form—, and i did not want to
have inconsistencies between forms.
Oriol does not want to waste so much vertical space for the calendar,
and wants it to show in a carousel, initially with only 6 months, and
loading the next three each time the user scrolls past the last.
I now use HTMx in the public page too for this auto-loading behavior,
based on their “infinite scroll” example[0].
Had to put the /calendar URI inside campsites because in the
calendar.gohtml i do not know the current type’s UUID, and can not use
a relative URL to “add subdirectories”, because the type does not end
with a slash.
Had to change season.CollectCalendar to expect the first month and a
number of months to show, to be able to load only 6 or 3 months after
the current, for the initial carousel content, or after the last month
of the carousel.

I had to export the Calendar type from Season to use it from
campsite/types, and also renamed them because season.SeasonCalendar is
a bit redundant compared to just season.Calendar.
I still have not added the HTMx code to switch year because i am not
sure whether Oriol will want to show a whole year or just half a year.
The calculation for the text color taking into account the contrast with
the background is from [0].

In the old website, the prices where show with all the options, but in
the new design only a single price is show, that in the case of
campsites with options is the price per night of the “base” plus the
minimum options selected.
This is the text that introduces the carousel; it is not a spiel, but
this is what i call it.
It turns out that this text needs to have paragraphs and headings, much
like home’s slider, rather than the one in services page, thus no need
to change its font size or to align all items in the carousel in the
middle.
I can not reuse the carousel package because these carousels need the
campsite site’s slug as a first parameters: i can not have a relation
per campsite type, as i do in home and services pages, because the
campsite types are added by administration types; even if i had a
single relation for slides of home and services pages, these would go
in a different relation due to the foreign key to campsite type.
What i could reuse, however, is the Slide and SlideEntry types from
that package, although i had to export carousel.Translation to be usable
from the types package. I should change that to use locale.Translation,
but this was the easier option, or i would need to change the queries
and templates for carousel package too.
Besides that, they work exactly like the slides in home and services
pages.
I created a common template to show the company address in the footer
and the contact page, and then i realized Go did not like to output my
phone URL in the anchor without having the tel: schema in the template.
I then removed that variable and now the URL is created with tel: and
the phone number with its spaces removed.
