We removed the link to this page in commit 83e8d6035 because poll
questions don't really make sense without a poll.
However, this page also contained information about successful
proposals, which might be interesting so administrators don't have to
navigate to the public area in order to find and create questions based
on successful proposals.
So we're keeping the part about successful proposals and linking it from
the proposals part of the admin area.
Note we're using translation keys like `successful_proposals_tab`, which
don't make sense anymore, for the successful proposals. We're doing so
because we've already got translations for these keys and, if we renamed
them, we'd lose the existing translations and our translators would have
to add them again.
Also note we're changing one poll question test a little bit so we
create the question from a successful proposal using the new page. There
are other tests checking how to create a question from the
admin/proposals#show action and other tests checking what happens when
accessing a successful proposal in the admin section, so we don't lose
any test coverage by changing an existing test instead of adding a new
one.
Finally, note that we've removing the `search` method in poll question
because we no longer use it. This currently makes the
`author_visible_name` database column useless; we aren't removing it
right now because we don't want to risk a possible data loss in a patch
release (we're about to release version 2.3.1), but we might remove it
in the future.
This column isn't used since commit 4c0deb0ec because administrators can
associate videos to the answers since commit 5862eea51. The value of
this attribute isn't used in the public area since commit 8277e3cc2.
We had inconsistent indentation in many places. Now we're fixing them
and adding a linter to our CI so we don't accidentally introduce
inconsistent indentations again.
In some places, we accidentally opened the same tag twice instead of
closing it, while in some other places we closed a tag without opening
it in the first place.
We've detected these issues thanks to the HTML Beautifier gem, which
we're about to start using for indentation purposes.
Allow enabling from settings admin section.
Note that we set the z-index to 20 in order to will be greater than
the others z-index elements in the application like <header> on
mobile devices.
We reduce code duplication thanks to that, and make it easier
to change this field.
Note that there was one place where the "16.years" value was
hardcoded. We're moving the test for this case to the
component and changing it so the test doesn't use the default
age.
We're also removing the redundant helper method that had the
same code as a method in the User class which is called
everywhere else.
Since the main stats index loads this JavaScript using
`"data-turbolinks-track" => "reload"`, going from the stats index to a
section that doesn't include this JavaScript did the strange effect
Turbolinks does in these situations: it first loaded the page using an
AJAX request and, after getting the contents of the page, it reloaded it
in order to apply the changes in the included JavaScript.
This behavior was a bit confusing, particularly when browsing to a
section of the admin stats, clicking the browser's back button to go
back to the stats index, the going to another section, ...
One of the admin stats tests was failing sometimes with this message:
```
1) Stats Budget investments Supporting phase Number of users and
supports in investment projects
Failure/Error: raise ex, cause: cause
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError:
unknown error: unhandled inspector error:
{"code":-32000,"message":"Node with given id does not belong to the document"}
(Session info: chrome=129.0.6668.89)
```
This was probably caused by the mentioned Turbolinks behavior that loads
the page twice. It's possible that Selenium was somehow checking the
node related to the first request when the second request had finished.
Avoiding that double request solves the issue.
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.
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 don't need to replace the whole row, since the changes only affect
the button. Therefore, we don't need to depend on an `inserted` event to
decide which columns to render in that row.
This code isn't used since commit c9f31b8e1.
Since we no longer depend on the content of the `#investments` element
being in a separate partial, we're also moving this element to the
partial itself and adding an HTML class to it, like we usually do.
We're also removing the code that loads all the investments in the
`toggle_selection` action, which wasn't needed since commit 3278b3572,
when we stopped rendering all the investments in this action.
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.
Since this button is replaced by a new element in an AJAX call, nothing
was focused after pressing it.
So we're reusing the code we used to enable/disable budget phases, which
already dealt with this issue.
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.
This way we can simplify the view, particularly the form. However, we're
still adding some complexity to the form so inputs are inside labels and
so the collection is easier to style with CSS.
We're using different controls depending on the number of available
locales.
When there are only a few locales, the solution is obvious: radio
buttons to select the default language, and checkboxes to select the
available ones are simple and intuitive.
With many languages, showing two consecutive lists of 30 languages could
be confusing, though, particularly on small devices, where scrolling
through both lists could be hard.
So, in this case, we're rendering a <select> to choose the default
language. For selecting the available languages, however, we're sticking
to checkboxes because all the other existing options (like multiple
selects) are hard to use. We think it's OK because the form doesn't have
any additional fields, and there's only one big list of options to
scroll through.
While testing the application, we noticed that if we use the
`admin-fieldset-separator` styles when there's only one fieldset, it's
harder to notice that there's an additional field to select the default
language. So we're only using the `admin-fieldset-separator` styles when
all the fields are grouped in fieldsets.
Regarding the help text for the fieldset, if we leave the help text
outside the <legend> tag, people using screen readers won't hear about
this content. However, if we include it inside the <legend> tag, some
screen readers might read it every time they move to a different
checkbox (or radio button), which can be annoying. Since I don't think
these help messages are really essential, I'm leaving them out of the
<legend> tag. It's also easier to style them if they're outside the
<legend> tag.
Note we're using `display: table` for the labels, for the reasons
mentioned in commit 923c2a7ee.
Also note that, when there's only one available locale, this section is
useless. In this case, we aren't disabling it for now because there's a
chance people see it in the official Consul Democracy demo and then
wonder why it isn't available on their installation. We might disable it
in the future, though.
This parameter isn't used since commit b86c0d3c3, which deleted a file
that wasn't used since commit 146c09adb. Further proof that this code
wasn't used is the fact that the `enable_translation_style` method,
which this code called, was removed in commit 5ada97544.
We were tracking some events with Ahoy, but in an inconsistent way. For
example, we were tracking when a debate was created, but (probably
accidentally) we were only tracking proposals when they were created
from the management section. For budget investments and their supports,
we weren't using Ahoy events but checking their database tables instead.
And we were only using ahoy events for the charts; for the other stats,
we were using the real data.
While we could actually fix these issues and start tracking events
correctly, existing production data would remain broken because we
didn't track a certain event when it happened. And, besides, why should
we bother, for instance, to track when a debate is created, when we can
instead access that information in the debates table?
There are probably some features related to tracking an event and their
visits, but we weren't using them, and we were storing more user data
than we needed to.
So we're removing the track events, allowing us to simplify the code and
make it more consistent. We aren't removing the `ahoy_events` table in
case existing Consul Democracy installations use it, but we'll remove it
after releasing version 2.2.0 and adding a warning in the release notes.
This change fixes the proposal created chart, since we were only
tracking proposals created in the management section, and opens the
possibility to add more charts in the future using data we didn't track
with Ahoy.
Also note the "Level 2 user Graph" test wasn't testing the graph, so
we're changing it in order to test it. We're also moving it next to the
other graphs test and, since we were tracking the event when we were
confirming the phone, we're renaming to "Level 3 users".
Finally, note that, since we were tracking events when something was
created, we're including the `with_hidden` scope. This is also
consistent with the other stats shown in the admin section as well as
the public stats.
The JavaScript required to display the chart wasn't loaded on the admin
stats page.
We're not adding a test because we're going to move the budgets graph to
a different page on the pull request containing this commit.
Note we're changing the "Go back" link, since using a turbolinks refresh
broke this link when using the Chromium browser. Besides, there was an
inconsistency where some of the "Go back" links in admin stats pointed
to the admin stats page but other links pointed to `:back`.
As mentioned in commits 5311daadf and bb958daf0, using links combined
with JavaScript to generate POST (or, in this case, PUT) requests to the
server has a few issues.
This way we can simplify setting the title and styling the link in the
header. We're also fixing the unnecessary padding introduced by the
`column` classes, which caused the header not to be aligned with the
rest of the elements surrounding it. We're still keeping it the margin
used in the `row` classes so it's aligned with the rest of the form;
ideally, we would remove the `row` classes in the rest of the form and
in the whole admin section, but this isn't something we can tackle right
now.
Note that, in the CSS, the `margin-left: auto` property needs to be
included after `@include regular-button` because that mixin overwrites
the `margin-left` property. Since we're modifying this code, we're
making it compatible with RTL text, using `$global-left` instead of
`left`.
We were already doing that when deleting content blocks from the index
page, and we also ask for confirmation in almost every page in the admin
section.
We were already using button to destroy content blocks from the content
blocks index.
As mentioned in commits 5311daadf and bb958daf0, using links combined
with JavaScript to generate POST (or, in this case, DELETE) requests to
the server has a few issues.
