Note we don't cast negative votes when users remove their support. That
way we provide compatibility for institutions who have implemented real
negative votes (in case there are / will be any), and we also keep the
database meaningful: it's not that users downvoted something; they
simply removed their upvote.

Since we're going to add an action to remove supports, having a separate
controller makes things easier.
Note there was a strange piece of code which assumed users were not
verified if they couldn't vote investments. Now the code is also
strange, since it assumes users are not verified if they can't create
votes. We might need to revisit these conditions if our logic changes in
the future.
It was hard to notice what was going on when supporting one investment
which was at the bottom of the investment index page.
I wonder whether we should add the title of the investment to this text;
I'm not doing so because we don't do that anywhere else.
In the previous commit I mentioned:

Now let's discuss the case when there are several investments, like in
the investments index:
* There are 10 investments per page by default
* Each query takes less than a millisecond
* We still make a query per investment to check whether the current user
voted in a different group
* AFAIK, there have been no performance tests showing these
optimizations make the request to the investments index significantly
faster
* These optimizations make the code way more complex than it is without
them
Considering all these points, I'm removing the optimizations. I'm fine
with adding `includes` calls to preload records and avoid N+1 queries
even if there are no performance tests showing they make the application
faster because the effect on the code complexity is negligible. But
that's not the case here.
Note we're using `defined?` instead of the `||=` operator because the
`||=` operator will not serve its purpose when the result of the
operation returns `false`.
If I'm right, the `investment_votes` instance variable only exists to
avoid several database queries to get whether the current user has
supported each of the investments.
However, that doesn't make much sense when only one investment is shown.
In this case, the number of queries stays the same, and so we can
simplify the code by rendering the component with an optional parameter.
- Allow to define a link (text and url) on budget form for render on the budget
header.
- Improve styles

When users created a budget and made a typo, they could use the link to
go back to edit a budget. However, after doing so, they were out of the
budget creation process.
So we're now letting users go back to edit the budget, fix any mistakes
they might have made, and then continue to groups.
So now there's no need to edit each phase individually to enable/disable
them.
We aren't doing the same thing in the form to edit a budget because we
aren't sure about possible usability issues. On one hand, in some tables
we automatically update records when we mark a checkbox, so users might
expect that. On the other hand, having a checkbox in the middle of a
form which updates the database automatically is counter-intuitive,
particularly when right below that table there are other checkboxes
which don't update the database until the form is submitted.
So, either way, chances are users would think they've updated the phases
(or kept them intact) while the opposite would be true.
In the form within the wizard to create a budget that problem isn't that
important because there aren't any other fields in the form and it's
pretty intuitive that what users do will have no effect until they press
the "Finish" button.

Note we're keeping this section's original design (which had one button
to add a new group which after being pressed was replaced by a button to
cancel) but we aren't using Foundation's `data-toggle` because there
were a couple of usability and accessibility issues.
First, using `data-toggle` multiple times and applying it to multiple
elements led to the "cancel" button not being available after submitting
a form with errors. Fixing it made the code more complicated.
Second, the "Add new group" button always had the `aria-expanded`
attribute set to "true", so my screen reader was announcing the button
as expanded even when it wasn't. I didn't manage to fix it using
`data-toggle`.
Finally, after pressing either the "Add new group" and "Cancel" buttons,
the keyboard focus was lost since the elements disappeared.
So we're simplifying the HTML and adding some custom JavaScript to be
able to handle the focus and manually setting the `aria-expanded`
attribute.

Although it wasn't a real security concern because we were only calling
a `find` method based on the user input, it's a good practice to avoid
using constants based on user parameters.
Since we don't use the `find` method anymore but we still need to check
the associated record exists, we're changing the `followable` validation
in the `Follow` model to do exactly that.
In the Management section when creating an investment we were not passing the
document attributes, so we were never able to associate documents.
Make the nested_documentable spec compatible with the Management section.
In the Management section when creating an investment we were not passing the
images attributes, so we were never able to associate images.
Make the nested_imageable spec compatible with the Management section.
Many management actions only make sense if a user has been selected
beforehand.
We updated :check_verified_user method to be able to check actions that need to
have a user selected in order to avoid exceptions.
We need this control as :only_verified_user is not restrictive enough. The reason is
that the :managed_user method used in the :only_verified_user if it does not find a
user it does an initializce (find_or_initialize_by). This causes that when we have
"skip_verification" to true, it returns this non-persisted user as "verified".
These changes affect the actions of Account, Budgets and Proposals Controller
when no user is selected.
Since the `@ballot_referer` variable was only set in the lines
controller, it didn't work when we accessed the ballot page without
adding a line.
Note it still doesn't work if we access the ballot page directly by
entering the URL in the browser's address bar.
There was a big difference between the current budget and a specific
budget landing page. This didn't really make too much sense. Also, it
was not possible to know how a draft participatory budget will look
before it was published.
By unifying those two views now they will look quite similar and it
will be possible for administrators to preview any draft budget and to
know how the budget will look like before actually publishing it.
We weren't using the "Feasible" filter anywhere in the
application, and it's hard for users to know the difference between
"Feasible" and "Not unfeasible".
Apart from 'balloting', there are more phases between
'publishing_prices' and 'finished'. So, it doesn't make sense that the
filter 'selected' is only applied to those two. With this change the
filter will be applied as follow:
'not_unfeasible' for phases:
- informing
- accepting
- reviewing
- selecting
- valuating
selected for phases:
- publishing_prices
- balloting
- reviewing_ballots
winners for phases:
- finished
We were defining the same filters in three different controllers. We
were also adding a method in the ApplicationController which only made
sense in the same three controllers.
In this page we will render a list of clickable Goals icons that will show their
targets and related local targets
