Copied as much as i could from Numerus, and made as few modifications as
i could to adapt to this code base; it is, quite frankly, a piece of
shit.
We need to be able to create invoices from scratch “just in case”,
apparently, but it is not yet possible to create an invoice from a
booking.
I need to retrieve the values from the database and put them in the
form, like all other forms, but in this case the processing is done as
if it were a new form, because everything comes from the query string
and there is no need to do any extra work then.
Had to move the <footer> from the fields.gohtml to form.gohtml because
then it could not know that it was editing an existing booking. Had to
move the <fieldset> out too, in order to give it an ID and make it
htmx’s target, or it would replace the form, causing even more problems
—the button would disappear then—. The target **must** be in <form>
because it is needed for tis children’s hx-get and for its own hx-put.
I wanted to use a regular <a>, but apparently rendering that many
anchors is too resource-intensive for Firefox, and it is noticeably
slower. It was even worse, in fact, because i had to have different
content for the main grid and the grid show in the new booking form,
as i did not want to have these links there, and had call a template for
each cell: 3 months × ~30 days × ~100 campsites = 9000 calls!
Using JavaScript for that is shameful, but it does not add much to the
existing markup, and no need for template fuckery.
I am using double-click to follow these links, instead of single click,
because it would be too easy to misclik on the grid, but that forced me
to add `user-select: none` to prevent the selection of text when double-
clicking.
Had to bring the same fields that i have for a payment to booking,
except that some of those should be nullable, because it is unreasonable
to ask front desk to gather all customer data when they have a booking
via phone, for instance.
Therefore, i can not take advantage of the validation for customer data
that i use in the public-facing form, but, fortunately, most of the
validations where in separated functions, thus only had to rewrite that
one for this case.
I already have to create a booking from a payment, when receiving a
payment from the public instance, thus i made that function and reused
it here. Then i “overwrite” the newly created pre-booking with the
customer data from the form, and set is as confirmed, as we do not see
any point of allowing pre-bookings from employees.
It does nothing but compute the total of a booking, much like it does
for guests. In fact, i use the same payment relations to do the exact
same computation, otherwise i am afraid i will make a mistake in the
ACSI or such, now or in future version; better if both are exactly the
same.
The idea is that once the user creates the booking, i will delete that
payment, because it makes no sense to keep it in this case; nobody is
going to pay for it.
Had to reuse the grid showing the bookings of campsites because
employees need to select one or more campsites to book, and need to see
which are available. In this case, i have to filter by campsite type
and use the arrival and departure dates to filter the months, now up to
the day, not just month.
Had to change max width of th and td in the grid to take into account
that now a month could have a single day, for instance, and the month
heading can not stretch the day or booking spans would not be in their
correct positions.
For that, i needed to access campsiteEntry, bookingEntry, and Month from
campsite package, but campsite imports campsite/types, and
campsite/types already imports booking for the BookingDates type. To
break the cycle, had to move all that to booking and use from campsite;
it is mostly unchanged, except for the granularity of dates up to days
instead of just months.
The design of this form calls for a different way of showing the totals,
because here employees have to see the amount next to the input with
the units, instead of having a footer with the table. I did not like
the idea of having to query the database for that, therefore i “lifter”
the payment draft into a struct that both public and admin forms use
to show they respective views of the cart.
I need the campsite_id in booking to know what row to show the booking
at. Besides the need of knowing which actual campsite has been booked,
of course.
This field is nullable because we can not now it until an employee has
confirmed the booking; until that point we only know the campsite type
customer requested. I do not care much if the campsite_id is from a
different campsite_type, because maybe the customer requested the change
by phone or what have you, therefore the database can not be that
strict. It must have a value if the booking is confirmed.
It helps me if the arrival_date and departure_date is a single
daterange, because then i can use `&&` and other range operators to work
with these dates. For instance, i have to intersect it with the range
displayed on the screen in order to know which day i have to put it.
But then i have to know whether the booking begins and ends in the
display range, because i only have to show arrival and departure (i.e.,
the box half-way within the first or last boxes) on these days only.
Customer told us that they are used to a view of the booking status of
each campsite in the form of a grid: each campsite is a row, and each
day a column; bookings are show as boxes from the first day to the last
day on the corresponding campsite’s row.
I do not yet show the booking boxes, but at least now i have the grid
and date selector form in place.
In the form i would need a couple of input[type=month], but this is not
yet supported in Firefox and Safari. According to MDN, one common way
to bypass that problem is to have two fields, one for the month and the
other for the year; i just did that, but had to create a new input type
in the `form` package just for this.
Customer wants this because the booking is not automatically created,
thus it is possible to overbook. They want to accept the payment of
those that they can actually book.
After months of keeping what does the ACSI checkbox mean, now customer
told us that we should add a discount based on a series of
arbitrary conditions that, and need to be done NOW!
There is no UI to edit the conditions due to lack of time.
This is required by law.
I do not know why i have this value and the tax amount in the database,
but the payment percent and the number of days are hardcoded. I guess i
am such an inconsistent mess.
Had to do a couple of changes to the database: add the currency_code to
the payment relation, to format the price according to the payment’s
currency instead of the company’s; and the reference SQL function, to
replace the equivalent golang function, so that i can use it to index
payments.
The rest is mostly the same as any other page, except that the
individual payment’s page is not a form, but a regular info dump.
I also moved the payment settings as a sub-route of payments, as i
believe this makes more sense than an additional user menu item.
Customer told us that there are some options, such as towels, that have
a fixed price for the whole stay, not a per night price. Thus, had to
add a boolean to know whether to use sum or max when computing the
cart’s total for each option.
It is a separate relation, instead of having a field in campsite_type,
because not all campsite types allow dogs. I could have added a new
field to campsite_type, but then its values it would be meaningless for
campsites that do not allow dogs, and a nullable field is not a valid
solution because NULL means “unknown”, but we **do** know the price —
none.
A separate relation encodes the same information without ambiguities nor
null values, and, in fact, removed the dogs_allowed field from
campsite_type to prevent erroneous status, such as a campsite type that
allows dogs without having a cost — even if the cost is zero, it has to
be added to the new relation.
I have to ask number and age ranges of hosts of guests for all campsite
types, not only those that have price options for adults, children, etc.
because i must compute the tourist tax for adults. These numbers will
be used to generate de rows for guests when actually creating the
booking, which is not done already.
To satisfy the campsite types that do have a price per guest, not only
per night, i had to add the prices for each range in the
campsite_type_cost relation. If a campsite type does not have price
per person, then that should be zero; the website then does not display
the price.
The minimal price for any campsite type is one adult for one night,
thus to compute the price i need at least the campsite type, the dates,
and the number of adults, that has a minimum of one. I changed the
order of the form to ask for these values first, so i can compute the
initial price as soon as possible. To help further, i show the
<fieldset>s progressively when visitors select options.
Customer told us that the minimum number of nights is per campsite type,
not per season. And he wants this, along with the maximum number of
nights, in order to limit the range of departure dates that guests can
choose when booking.
The “overflow” is for when people want to book plots for more guests
than is permitted, which the system would need to add a new plot to the
“shopping cart”, as it were; not implemented yet.
The ask zone preferences is to whether show the corresponding input on
the booking form, that it was done implicitly when the campsite type had
options, because up until now it was only for plots, but it is no longer
the case, thus i need to know when to show it; now it is explicit.
This is more or less the same as the campsites, as public information
goes, but for buildings and other amenities that the camping provides
that are not campsites.
A small page with a brief description, carousel, and feature list of
each individual accommodation.
Most of the relations and functions for carousel and features are like
the ones for campsite types, but i had to use the accommodation’s label
to find them, because they do not have slugs; i did not even though
these would be public, and they already have a label, although not
unique for all companies, like UUID slugs are.
It seems that the prefix got removed in one of the edits.
Also, Affinity does not give a fuck to what classes we give to the
elements, and just removes them, thus .guest-only no longer matches, and
had to hide the layers by id. Hope they hold this time.
It is virtually impossible to see when such a field fails prior to
submit the form, unless you happen to have the correct language selected
at the time.
Leave it to the backend’s validation for now.
Otherwise, the browser assumes they are two different resources, because
i am telling it so with the two URI, and loads the same file twice,
triggering the execution of startup functions, such as the ones that
convert textareas to CKEditor divs, twice.
Apparently, each campsite type could have different check-in and
check-out times, thus i need them in the database.
I thought about using an integer or a datetime field, but customer seems
to want a text field to maybe add “before” and “after” there as well.
Translatable text it is.
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].

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.
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.
