This is mostly because it is required for the “Digital Kit”, but it also
works in our favor because now i can version the URL to the static
resources.
Go 1.18 adds the info from git if the package is build from a git
repository, but this is not the case in OBS, so i instead relay on a
constant for the version number. This constant is “updated” by Debian’s
rules, mostly due to the discussion in [0].

It is for people aged 17 or olded, not 16. I was confused by the
expression “over 16”, that **seems** to mean 17 or older, but actually
includes people aged 16, too.
There is no way, for now, to add, edit or remove users, because
currently we only need to list users.
I can not give admins access to the user table, for security
permissions, so i had to create a new view. I could name it also ‘user’
in ‘camper’ scheme, but then i was afraid i would have problems with
unit tests and their search_path, so instead i called it
‘company_user_profile’, which is like ‘user_profile’ but for all users
in ‘company_user’.
I created a new Go package for it, rather than add the admin handler in
‘auth’, because ‘template’ depends on ‘auth’, and rendering from ‘auth’
would cause a dependency loop.
I needed to have the roles in gettext to translate them, but there is
no obvious place where to put the call to PgettextNoop. For now, there
are in ‘NewAdminHandler’ because it is called once in the application’s
lifetime and they actually do not matter much.
This is a separate carousel from the one displayed at the bottom with
location info; it is, i suppose, a carousel for the hero image.
For the database, it works exactly as the home carousel, but on the
front had to use AlpineJS instead of Slick because it needs to show a
text popping up from the bottom when the slide is show, something i do
not know how to do in Slick.
It now makes no sense to have the carousel inside the “nature” section,
because the heading is no longer in there, and moved it out into a new
“hero” div.
Since i now have two carousels in home, i had to add additional
attributes to carousel.AdminHandler to know which URL to point to when
POSTing, PUTting, or redirecting.
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.
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.
I use Sortable, exactly like HTMx’s sorting example does[0]. Had to
export the slug or ID of some entries to be able to add it in the hidden
input.
For forms that use ID instead of slug, had to use an input name other
than “id” because otherwise the swap would fail due to bug #1496[1]. It
is apparently fixed in a recent version of HTMx, but i did not want to
update for fear of behaviour changes.

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.
Every company need to have its own merchant code and encryption key,
thus it is not possible to use environment variables to keep that data,
and i have to store it in the database.
I do not want to give SELECT permission on the encryption key to guest,
because i am going to fuck it up sooner or later, and everyone would be
able to read that secret; i know it would. Therefore, i need a security
definer function that takes the data to encrypt, use the key to encrypt
it, and returns the result; nobody else should have access to that key,
not even admins!
By the way, i found out that every merchant receives the same key, thus
it is not a problem to keep it in the repository.
Since i need that SQL function to encrypt the data, i thought that i may
go the whole nine yards and sign the request in PostgreSQL too, after
all the data to sign comes from there, and it has JSON functions to
create and base64-code an object.
Fortunately, pg_crypto has all the functions that i need, but i can no
longer keep that extension inside the auth schema, because it is used
from others, and the public schema, like every other extensions, seems
more appropriate.
Instead of having the list of currency and language codes that Redsys
uses as constants in the code, i moved that as field to the currency
and language relations, so i can simply pass the lang_tag to the
function and it can transform that tag to the correct code; the currency
is from the company’s relation, since it is the only currency used in
the whole application (for now).
As a consequence, i had to grant execute to currency and the parse_price
functions to guest, too.
To generate the test data used in the unit tests, i used a third-party
PHP implementation[0], but i only got from that the resulting base64-coded
JSON object and signature, using the same that as in the unit test, and
did not use any code from there.
PostgreSQL formats the JSON as text differently than most
implementations i have seen: it adds spaces between the key name and
the colons, and space between the value and the separating comma. The
first implementation used replace() to format the JSON as exactly as
the PHP implementation, so that the result matches, and then tried to do
generate the form by hand using the output from PostgreSQL without the
replace(), to verify that Redsys would still accept my input. Finally,
i adjusted the unit test to whatever pg_prove said it was getting from
the function.
I still have the form’s action hard-codded to the test environment, but
the idea is that administrators should be able to switch from test to
live themselves. That means that i need that info in the redsys
relation as well. I think this is one of the few use cases for SQL’s
types, because it is unlikely to change anytime soon, and i do not need
the actual labels.
Unfortunately, i could not use enumerations for the request’s
transaction type because i can not attach an arbitrary number to the
enum’s values. Having a relation is overkill, because i would need
a constant in Go to refer to its primary key anyway, thus i kept the
same constant i had before for that. Language and currency constant
went out, as this is in the corresponding relations.
In setup_redsys i must have a separate update if the encrypt_key is null
because PostgreSQL checks constraints before key conflict, and i do
not want to give a default value to the key if the row is not there yet.
The problem is that i want to use null to mean “keep the same password”,
because it is what i intend to do with the user-facing form: leave the
input empty to keep the same password.
As now Go needs to pass composite types back and forth with PostgreSQL,
i need to register these types, and i have to do it every time because
the only moment i have access to the non-pooled connection is in the
AfterConnect function, but at that point i have no idea whether the
user is going to request a payment. I do not know how much the
performance degrades because of this.

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.
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.
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>.
