Had to change setup_redsys because admins can not read the current
encrypt key, thus it is not possible to `set encrypt_key =
coalesce(…, encrypt_key)`.
Not that it did much sense, anyway, as i was already inside the branch
of the if when encrpty_key is null.
However, it seems that this also affects in the `on conflict` update. I
assume this is because `excluded` is some kind of row of the relation
and has the same restrictions.
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.
I was not sure whether to use PostGIS to store the GPS location of the
company, as i am sure i will only use that point just to show the map.
However, just in case, it is not a big deal.
There is no way to change that from the administration pages for now,
because of time constraints, and it is very unlikely that they will
change the campgrounds’ location in the near future.
The location is in a separate table because i did not want to have to
change every test file, to be honest, but this also makes the map
“optional” without the need for NULL values.
I added the contact address to every public page because the new design
adds it to the footer, so i will be needing it everywhere, just like the
menu.
This calendar is supposed to be edited by admin users, but do not yet
have the complete JavaScript code to do so, thus for now i have made it
read-only.
I do not like confirmation messages: they question user’s actions, and
in general it is better to offer an undo option afterward. However, undo
is harder to implement, and currently i do not have time to do this.
The delete for the session is different because the only repercussion
would be to log in again; the user is not in danger of losing any data
whatsoever.
This one has an input to select the icon. It makes no sense to choose
an icon only by name, thus a <select> is not appropriate, and had to
use a hidden input with a row of button to choose the icon from. This
works now only because there are very few icons; we’ll need to choose
a different approach when there are many more icons.
Since now the icons have to be defined in CSS for both the public and
admin sections, i had to split it into a separate file that both sites
can use. I considered the option to “include” that CSS with m4, like
i do for images in demo.sql, but it made everything too complicated
(e.g., having to call make for each change in the CSS), and decided to
load that CSS in a separate <link>.
We discussed with Oriol how to show these “extra” menu items, as they
can’t be in the horizontal menu we have intended for employees, because
there is not enough horizontal space.
Oriol suggested to move these into the user menu. In fact, the company
settings was already there, which means that i already wanted to do that
from the very beginning, i believe, but i must have forgotten it along
the way…. Or maybe it was because this is where Numerus has the company
settings menu item, too, and i did not see the relation with the rest;
i do not know.
I decided to use a custom attribute for the campsite label in the SVG
because i was a bit wary of reusing ‘id’ for that, specially given that
most labels are number only and XML can not have IDs starting with a
number.
In fact, at least Inkscape and Affinity solve the problem by having an
additional foreign attribute to keep the “group label” in without that
restriction (‘inkscape:label’ and ‘serif:id’, respectively), thus i
thought of doing the same, but with a namespace that i control and be
independent of the design program.
However, it seems that Affinity does not have a way of editing the XML
attributes like Inkscape does[0], thus there is no way of adding or
editing that value from there; i can not ask Oriol to edit the SVG file
in a text editor each time.
We have agreed to reuse the ‘id’ attribute to contain the campsite’s
label by using a specific prefix, that we checked is editable without
issue in Affinity’s UI.

I am using the US terms for campground and campsite, that’s why the
relation is called ‘campsite’ instead of ‘pitch’, but i used the wrong
terminology in the SVG map because the customer uses the UK term and
call themselves campsite, so i mixed things.
It is now the campground map and each individual area is a campsite,
as i have been using all along.
I did not remember that the file was loaded as a module, so i have
to export it in order to use from the <script> in media. That <script>
needs to be also a module and explicitly import the function; since it
is already loaded, the browser does not load the file again.
This link is supposed to be for employees, to see the map and check
on campsites’ availability. Currently, it shows the same for employees
and admins, but it will need to change.
I intend to use the same SVG file for customers and employees, so i had
to change Oriol’s design to add a class to layers that are supposed to
be only for customers, like trees. These are hidden in the admin area.
I understood that customers and employees have to click on a campsite to
select it, and then they can book or whatever they need to do to them.
Since customers and employees most certainly will need to have different
listeners on campsites, i decided to add the link with JavaScript. To
do so, i need a custom XML attribute with the campsite’s identifier.
Since i have seen that all campsites have a label, i changed the
“identifier” to the unique combination (company_id, label). The
company_id is there because different companies could have the same
label; i left the campsite_id primary key for foreign constraints.
In this case, as a test, i add an <a> element to the campsite with a
link to edit it; we’ll discuss with Oriol what exactly it needs to do.
However, the original design had the labels in a different layer, that
interfered with the link, as the numbers must be above the path and
the link must wrap the path in order to “inherit” its shape. I had no
other recourse than to move the labels in the same layer as the paths’.
Have to call Dialog.showModal when HTMx loaded the dialog in the DOM,
so had to add a onLoad event listened that checks whether the loaded
element is actually a DIALOG.
Had to restrict the margin: 0 for all elements (*) to exclude dialog,
because the browser sets it to auto, and i did not want to set it again
just because i was too overzealous with my “reset”.
The rest of the CSS is just to have a sticky header and footer, and see
the cancel button, that works as a “close”, all the time.
Finally, i realized that if i add the dialog at the end of the fieldset
and let HTMx inherit its hx-target and hx-swap, i no longer need to set
them in the dialog, as HTMx will always replace the fieldset, and i can
have the dialog side by side the current content of the fieldset, that
it was very confusing seeing it disappear when trying to select a new
media.
The cancel button could now just remove the dialog instead of making the
POST, but in local it makes no difference; we’lls see what happens on
production.
It makes easier to upload new images from the place where we need it,
instead of having to go to the media section each time.
It was a little messy, this one.
First of all, I realized that POSTint to /admin/media/picker to get the
new media field was wrong: i was not asking the server to “accept an
entity”, but only requesting a new HTML value, just like a GET to
/admin/media/upload requests the form to upload a new media, thus here
i should do the same, except i needed the query parameters to change the
field, which is fine—it is actually a different resource, thus a
different URL.
Then, i thought that i could not POST the upload to /admin/media,
because i returned a different HTML —the media field—, so i reused the
recently unused POST to /admin/media/picker to upload that file and
return the HTML for the field. It was wrong, because i was not
requesting the server to put the file as a subordinate of
/admin/media/picker, only /admin/media, but i did not come up with any
other solution.
Since i had two different upload functions now, i created uploadForm’s
Handle method to refactorize the duplicated logic to a single place.
Unfortunately, i did not work as i expected because uploadForm’s and
mediaPicker’s MustRender methods are different, and mediaPicker has to
embed uploadForm to render the form in the picker. That made me change
Handle’s output to a boolean and error in order for the HTTP handler
function know when to render the form with the error messages with the
proper MustRender handler.
However, I saw the opportunity of reusing that Handler method for
editMedia, that was doing mostly the same job, but had to call a
different Validate than uploadForm’s, because editMedia does not require
the uploaded file. That’s when i realized that i could use an interface
and that this interface could be reused not only within media but
throughout the application, and added HandleMultipart in form.
Had to create a different interface for multipart forms because they
need different parameters in Parse that non-multipart form, when i add
that interface, hence had to also change Parse to ParseForm to account
for the difference in signature; not a big deal.
After all that, i realized that i **could** POST to /admin/media in both
cases, because i always return “an HTML entity”, it just happens that
for the media section it is empty with a redirect, and for the picker is
the field. That made the whole Handle method a bit redundant, but i
left it nevertheless, as i find it slightly easier to read the
uploadMedia function now.
This is required if requesting an admin page via HTMx; i do not think it
is done as of now, except for the media picker, that has no layout
because i do not want to update the title.
