I remove the related taxes and attachments, but keep related payments
because i believe it is not likely that deleting a paid expense is what
the user wants. If the user wants to do so, she can delete the payments
first.
Part of #84
Since 16e80b5ae, <body> no longer has overflow, thus no scroll. As a
consequence, htmx no longer is able to scroll up <main> when it changes
due to the default, implicit `show:true` applied to the request: is
calls <main>’s scrollIntoView, however there is nothing to scroll to.
I probably could fix it by changing the target of `show`, or even add
a `scroll` directive to all boosted links, but at this point i think it
is better no not boost links at all, as they do what i want—show the new
page from the top—with less markup, plus the browser now show a loading
animation, and it is not that slower, too.
This is only for user-visible strings; the name from the point of view
of code and database remains the same.
This is an attempt to force a distinction between payment method, used
in invoices, and payment accounts, for payments.
Closes#100.
Now that the navigation is inside the header, and the header is not
as tall as it once was, it makes sense to keep it always on the top of
the page, scrolling only within <main>, since it is the main menu, and
fairly used to switch from screen to screen.
I removed the footer because now it would be always visible, and i was
a bit weary of having the application name repeated that much. It was
there mainly for the version number, that helps me check i installed the
application’s latest version on the server, but that role can also be
filled with meta tags.
Closes#97.
I do not particularly enjoy an htmx-only way of doing that, because it
means that it can only work with JavaScript, but i think this is already
a lost cause, unfortunately. If i have time, i will try to make the
HTML-only form work too.
In this case, i have to put back the same row when updating or
cancelling the form, which is inside index.html. Instead of moving that
part to a separate file, i tried to define a block as a “template
fragment” and try to render that part only. Surprisingly, it works;
i am happy.
Closes#74.
I use HTTP 422 to signal that a form was submitted with bad data,
which i believe is the correct status code: “indicates that the server
understands the content type of the request content […], and the syntax
of the request content is correct, but it was unable to process the
contained instructions.”[0]
htmx, however, treats all 4xx status codes as error and, by default,
does not swap the target with the response’s content. Until i found out
that i could change that behaviour, i worked around this limitation by
returning HTTP 200 for htmx requests, but it is a waste of time given
that htmx _can_ accept HTTP 422 as a non-error.

It makes more sense to have the payment link readily available, given
that downloads for expenses are rather uncommon, and, when we implement
electronic invoicing, the invoice PDF will be less useful too.
For the same reasons as with expenses[0], users are no longer expected
to manually set invoice status, and is now linked to their collections.
In this case, however, we had to remove the ‘sent’ and ‘unpaid’ status
options, because these _should_ only be set manually, as there is no
way for the application to know when to set them. Thus, there could
be inconsistencies, like invoices set to ‘unpaid’ when they actually
have collections, or invoices that were ‘sent’, then transitioned to
‘partial’/‘paid’ due to a collection, but then reset to ‘created’ if the
collection was deleted.

This is mostly the same subsection as payments is for expense, added in
4f646e35d. In this case i call it “collections”, but it is actually
the same payments section.
This is the same as a payment, but the user is the payee instead of the
payer.
I used a different relation than payment because i do not know any other
way to encode the constraint that only invoices can have a collection,
while expenses have only payments.
Besides the name and the fact that they are related to invoices, a
collection is pretty much the same as a payment.
With Oriol we agreed that to add new payments to expenses we should
direct users to a separate payments section, much like the general
payments but centered around the payments of the given expense.
In fact, the only thing i had to do is extract the expense from the
URL, and then adjust the base URI to keep things always within the
correct section; the rest of the code is shared with the general
section.
If there is no invoice number, then they can use the edit item from the
menu, but most expenses do have an invoice, thus this is easier for the
most usual case.
I needed to place the payment accounts section somewhere, and the most
logical place seemed to be that dialog, where users can set up company
parameters.
However, that dialog was already saturated with related, but ultimately
independent forms, and adding the account section would make things
even worse, specially given that we need to be able to edit those
accounts in a separate page.
We agreed to separate that dialog into tabs, which means separate pages.
When i had everything in a separated page, then i did not know how to
actually share the code for the tabs, and decided that, for now, these
“tabs” would be items from the profile menu. Same function, different
presentation.
Users are no longer expected to manually set the status of an expense
and, instead, have to add payments to such expense to mark it as partial
or paid.
That means that the PL/pgSQL functions must not accept a status
parameter, the edit and new forms should no longer have a field for
the status, and that the expense list should no longer have the “quick
edit” for their status. That’s why it no longer should have a pointer
cursor, unlike invoice or quote status.
I am using an htmx-infused button to remove the payment, but that
button can not have the CSRF token as value, thus i have to send it in a
header.
The removal of payments warrants a functions, instead of just DELETE
(and CASCADE) as i do for payment methods, because i have to adjust the
status of expenses too. Since i already have functions for everything,
it is not worth using triggers just for that.
This actually should be the “payments and receivables” section, however
this is quite a mouthful; a “receivable” is a payment made **to** you,
therefore “payments” is ok.
In fact, there is still no receivables in there, as they should be in
a separate relation, to constraint them to invoices instead of expenses.
It will be done in a separate commit.
Since this section will be, in a sense, sort of simplified accounting,
i needed to introduce the “payment account” concept. There is no way,
yet, for users to add them, because i have to revamp the “tax details”
section, but this commit started to grow too big already.
The same reasoning for the attachment payment slips as PDF to payment:
something i have to add, but not yet in this commit.
It is common to want to enumerate in a description, for instance when
adding specifications for a hosting, and that enumeration should be
formatted as the user wrote, otherwise it becomes useless.
Closes#94.
The legal stuff. Required by Spanish law when setting up a site intended
for pecuniary gain, directly or indirectly.
Now we have more pages to the “public web”, and moved the header and
footer from home to the common layout. I also took the opportunity to
change the element from <div> to the appropriate element based on their
use (i.e., <header> and <footer>).
I removed the <div> around the logo because i did not see any use for
it. I may be from a previous design iteration, but it had no style
applied nor any usage at all in JavaScript.
I mistakenly thought that <small> was de inverse of the deprecated <big>
element, but apparently it is for small-print text and such, thus suited
for this case.
This is mostly to reassure people that we are running the same version
as published on numerus.cat. Or at least, try.
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].
