I tried to use ../, and ../../ to make the routes relatives, but it
would not work well because the same page would have two URLs, one
ending with slash and another without, and the relative links would be
different on each case.
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.
Oriol did not like that this carousel was different from the rest, and
wanted to have it like the rest, but showing only one slide at a time,
like the customer wants.
He also wanted the arrows for **all** carousels to be in the top-right
corner instead of bottom-right, mostly because the customer complains
that she does not see the arrows if they are on the bottom, and Oriol
does not like the arrows to the sides.
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.
I was using a <form> to delete slides and other such elements before
adding the form to sort these same elements with drag and drop, without
realizing that i was wrapping the existing delete <form>s, that now
would not submit properly—they were submitting the sort form instead.
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.
Had to create a custom build of CKEditor with the following plugins
added-in:
* Autoformat
* Block quote
* Bold
* General HTML Support
* Heading
* Image
* Image caption
* Image resize
* Image style
* Image toolbar
* Image upload
* Indent
* Italic
* Link
* Link image
* List
* Media embed
* Simple upload adapter
* Source editing
* Table
* Table toolbar
* Text transformation
The important bit is the “Simple uploader adapter”, that i modified to
upload the file as `media` instead of the default `upload` (i.e.,
modified ckeditor.js to replace "upload" with "media").
I also had to add the CSRF header somewhere in the HTML document for
JavaScript to be able to retrieve it and pass it to the uploader
adapter, or i would have to disable CSRF validation in that form, which
i did not like at all.
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.
locale.Translation and form.L10nInput are no longer used.
The translation type in Postgres is now also useless, and i believe it
was never used, but i keep it because I already have a tag and i can not
just remove it, meaning that dropping it is more trouble that worth it.
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.
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.
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.
[0]: https://htmx.org/examples/infinite-scroll/
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.
