We only want to render the account link and login items in the header.
And we want only render the Multitenancy and Administrators sections in
the admin sidebar.
We include the administrators management so it's possible to give
permissions to other users to manage tenants.
In order to restrict access to other sections by typing the URL or
following a link, we're only enabling the rest of the routes when we
aren't in the multitenancy management mode.
Using a checkbox wasn't very intuitive because checkboxes are
checked/unchecked when clicked on even if there's an error in the
request. Usually, when checkboxes appear on a form, they don't send any
information to the server unless we click a button to send the form.
So we're using a switch instead of a checkbox, like we did to
enable/disable phases in commit 46d8bc4f0.
Note that, since we've got two switches that match the default
`dom_id(record) .toggle-switch` selector, we need to find a way to
differentiate them. We're adding the `form_class` option for that.
Also note that we're now using a separate action and removing the
JavaScript in the `update` action which assumed that AJAX requests to
this action were always related to updating the `visible_to_valuators`
attribute.
This is consistent to what we usually do. Also, we're applying the same
criteria mentioned in commit 72704d776:

Just like it happened with proposals, the button to select/deselect an
investment wasn't very intuitive; for example, it wasn't obvious that
pressing a button saying "selected" would deselect the investment.
So we're using a switch control, like we do to enable/disable features
since commit fabe97e50.
Note that we're making the text of the switch smaller than in other
places because the text in the investments table it is also smaller
(we're using `font-size: inherit` for that purpose). That made the
button look weird because we were using rems instead of ems for the
width of the button, so we're adjusting that as well.
Also note we're changing the width of the switch to `6em` instead of
`6.25em` (which would be 100px if 1em is 16px). We're doing so because
we used 100 for the minimum width because it's a round number, so
now we're using another round number.
We were checking it in the view, meaning that it was possible to toggle
the selection by sending a custom request even when the investment
wasn't feasible.
This way it'll be easier to change the link/button used to toggle the
selection.
Note that the conditions in the view seem to be different because we no
longer include the `selected?` condition when rendering the link/button.
However, an investment can only be selected if it's feasible and its
valuation is finished, so writing something like this would have been
redundant:
```ruby
can?(:toggle_selection, investment) &&
(selected? || investment.feasible? && investment.valuation_finished?)
```
The reason why the previous code was using the `selected?` condition was
to check whether to render the link/button to select or to deselect an
investment. We're now doing that in the Ruby part of the component.
Since we define the `data-field` element, we can style each element
individually with CSS.
I'm not sure whether these styles make sense, though. For instance, why
is "Supports" aligned to the center, since it's a number? For now, we're
leaving it as it was.
This way we'll be able to simplify it a little bit.
Note that the original partial didn't include the whole row and only
the cells. Since, most of the time, we include the whole row in
partials, we're slightly modifying the component.
This is consistent to what we usually do. Also, we're applying the same
criteria mentioned in commit 72704d776:
> We're also making these actions idempotent, so sending many requests

The button to select/deselect a proposal wasn't very intuitive; for
example, it wasn't obvious that pressing a button saying "selected"
would deselect the proposal.
So we're using a switch control, like we do to enable/disable features
since commit fabe97e50.
In rubocop-rails 2.26.0, the Rails/CompactBlank rule was modified to handle
cases where select(&:present?) is used. After identifying three occurrences
in our code, we've decided to apply this rule as it encourages the use of the
more efficient and clearer method, compact_blank.
By using compact_blank, we improve code clarity and performance, as this method performs the same operation but in a more optimized way.
Until now, we've stored the text of the answer somebody replied to. The
idea was to handle the scenarios where the user voters for an option but
then that option is deleted and restored, or the texts of the options
are accidentally edited and so the option "Yes" is now "Now" and vice
versa.
However, since commit 3a6e99cb8, options can no longer be edited once
the poll starts, so there's no risk of the option changing once somebody
has voted.
This means we can now store the ID of the option that has been voted.
That'll also help us deal with a bug introduced int 673ec075e, since
answers in different locales are not counted as the same answer. Note we
aren't dealing with this bug right now.
We're still keeping (and storing) the answer as well. There are two
reasons for that.
First, we might add an "open answer" type of questions in the future and
use this column for it.
Second, we've still got logic depending on the answer, and we need to be
careful when changing it because there are existing installations where
the answer is present but the option_id is not.
Note that we're using `dependent: nullify`. The reasoning is that, since
we're storing both the option_id and the answer text, we can still use
the answer text when removing the option. In practice, this won't matter
much, though, since we've got a validation rule that makes it impossible
to destroy options once the poll has started.
Also note we're still allowing duplicate records when the option is nil.
We need to do that until we've removed every duplicate record in the
database.
It was confusing to have the action to create an answer in
`QuestionsController#answer` while the action to destroy it was
`AnswersController#destroy`.
Most existing Consul Democracy installations will have changed their
`config.i18n.available_locales` option so only a few locales are
available. In many cases, only one locale will be available. In these
cases, rendering a form that only offers one option is useless.
We've considered adding a text in this case mentioning that, in order to
enable more languages, they need to configure their
`config.i18n.available_locales`. However, we haven't done it for two
reasons.
First, if they've changed the available locales to just one, there's a
good chance they aren't interested at all in configuring the locales.
And, second, if there's only one available locale, administrators will
learn to ignore the "languages" link, so they won't realize that locales
can be configured if developers change the available locales. If we hide
the link, on the other hand, they will notice that locales can now be
configured once developers change the available locales.
Note we're still allowing access by entering the URL. This is harmless,
though, since people accessing it this way will see a form with only one
possible option and won't be able to modify anything.
Having a class named `Poll::Question::Answer` and another class named
`Poll::Answer` was so confusing that no developer working on the project
has ever been capable of remembering which is which for more than a few
seconds.
Furthermore, we're planning to add open answers to polls, and we might
add a reference from the `poll_answers` table to the
`poll_question_answers` table to property differentiate between open
answers and closed answers. Having yet another thing named answer would
be more than what our brains can handle (we know it because we did this
once in a prototype).
So we're renaming `Poll::Question::Answer` to `Poll::Question::Option`.
Hopefully that'll make it easier to remember. The name is also (more or
less) consistent with the `Legislation::QuestionOption` class, which is
similar.
We aren't changing the table or columns names for now in order to avoid
possible issues when upgrading (old code running with the new database
tables/columns after running the migrations but before deployment has
finished, for instance). We might do it in the future.
I've tried not to change the internationalization keys either so
existing translations would still be valid. However, since we have to
change the keys in `activerecord.yml` so methods like
`human_attribute_name` keep working, I'm also changing them in places
where similar keys were used (like `poll_question_answer` or
`poll/question/answer`).
Note that it isn't clear whether we should use `option` or
`question_option` in some cases. In order to keep things simple, we're
using `option` where we were using `answer` and `question_option` where
we were using `question_answer`.
Also note we're adding tests for the admin menu component, since at
first I forgot to change the `answers` reference there and all tests
passed.
Just like we do every else (sometimes even on that very same file), we
use the method instead of the instance variable.
We're doing this change now because we're about to modify one of these
files (the poll question answers documents index component).
This way we remove a bit of duplication.
These changes also affect the way geozones are rendered in a couple of
minor ways, making them more consistent:
* No empty list of geozones is rendered when there are no geozones
(before these changes, an empty list was rendered in the index action
but not in the show action)
* The text clarifying the geozone restriction is always shown (before
these changes, it was shown in the index action but not in the show
action)
We've added tests for these cases.
When this code was added, in commit 1a20a3ce4, we had no validation
rules checking the presence of the start and end dates of a poll. Now we
do, so we don't have to check this condition in the view.
We were using a redundant `elsif` instead of an `else`. We were also
using a negative condition in the main `if`, which made the code a bit
harder to read.
Since we usually use `current_user` instead of `user_signed_in?`, we're
also changing that for consistency.Extract component to render the status of a poll
This is consistent with the way we've got partials to render debates,
proposals and legislation processes on their index pages.
Note that, while adding the tests for the status icon, we're keeping one
system test because it also tests the process of voting. We're adding a
new, similar component test, where the voter is created in the database,
so all possible statuses are tested in the component.
With this parameter, Vimeo no longer uses cookies that identifies users

They do still store some cookies, though; quoting from Vimeo player
parameters overview:

Not sure whether this counts as essential cookies in our case; they're
essential for Vimeo, but for us, they're third-party cookies, after all.

When embedding a video in our site YouTube stores cookies in the user's
computer that aren't necessary to watch the video, so we'd have to make
people accept those cookies before letting them watch the video.
Using a URL that doesn't use cookies, like mentioned in YouTube Help
[1], is easier, though, and respects people's privacy without affecting
the user experience.
That I've found some references saying that youtube does store cookies
once you hit the "play" button even when using the nocookie server [2].
Not sure whether that's an old behavior or I'm doing something wrong,
but I don't see this is the case; even after playing the video, cookies
aren't stored on my browser.

Although most Consul Democracy installations will only have a few
available languages using `config.i18n.available_locales`, there's a
chance some installation will keep every language as available and will
enable the desired ones using the admin interface. In these cases,
enabling (or disabling) every language would be tedious, particularly
when casually experimenting in a staging environment or while using the
official Consul Democracy demo.
So we're adding buttons to simplify the process. Since some
installations might have only a couple of available languages, and in
this case these buttons would be pretty much useless, we're only showing
them when there are many languages available.
Since they're related, we're making them part of the same list. Instead
of finding a way to have the `Select` prefix they had as a label for the
list, we're including the "prefix" they had inside their texts, so the
text of a button doesn't need any additional context.
