Some institutions using CONSUL have expressed interest in this feature
since some of their tenants might already have their own domains.
We've considered many options for the user interface to select whether
we're using a subdomain or a domain, like having two separate fields,
using a check box, ... In the end we've chosen radio buttons because
they make it easier to follow a logical sequence: first you decide
whether you're introducing a domain or subdomain, and then you enter it.
We've also considered hiding this option and assuming "if it's got a
dot, it's a domain". However, this wouldn't work with nested subdomains
and it wouldn't work with domains which are simply machine names.
Note that a group of radio buttons (or check boxes) is difficult to
style when the text of the label might expand over more than one line
(as is the case here on small screens); in this case, most solutions
result in the second line of the label appearing immediately under the
radio button, instead of being aligned with the first line of the label.
That's why I've added a container for the input+label combination.
Note that the `create` action doesn't create an image but updates an
answer instead. We're removing the references to `:create` in the
abilities since it isn't used.
In the future we might change the form to add an image to an answer
because it's been broken for ages since it shows all the attached
images.
We were using this hack in order to allow `File.new` attachments in
tests files. However, we can use the `fixture_file_upload` helper
instead.
Just like it happened with `file_fixture`, this helper method doesn't
work in fixtures, so in this case we're using `Rack::Test::UploadedFile`
instead.
We're going to make it dynamic using the geozones. Besides, class
methods can be overwritten using custom models, while constants can't be
overwritten without getting a warning [1].
Makes the definition of segments with geozones a little cleaner. I
think it’s worth it, compared to the slight memory gain of using a
constant [2].

We weren't showing the details of answers without a description, even if
they had images, videos or documents. Some users found that behavior
unexpected since the description isn't a mandatory field and so they
left it blank, but they added images to that answer and they didn't
appear on the poll page.
Note we had a condition not to show the title of an answer when it had
no description. I think that condition was redundant because answers
without a description weren't loaded in the first place. Anyway, that
condition doesn't make sense anymore because we're displaying answers
with images but no description.
This column wasn't used in any released Consul version since it was only
used during development. For the same reason, the task to migrate the
information in the `link` column to the `links` table isn't needed
either.
We were already doing so for debates and investments.
We probably never noticed because this is an edge case that requires
enabling a feature, people adding comments, and then disabling the
feature.
We're already using a custom controller to handle direct uploads.
Besides, as mentioned by one of Active Storage co-authors [1], the
Active Storage DirectUploadsController doesn't provide any
authentication or validation at all, meaning anyone could create blobs
in our database by posting to `/rails/active_storage/direct_uploads`.
The response there could be then used to upload any file (again, without
validation) to `/rails/active_storage/disk/`.
For now, we're monkey-patching the controllers in order to send
unauthorized responses, since we aren't using these routes. If we ever
enable direct uploads with Active Storage, we'll have to add some sort
of authentication.
Similar upload solutions like CKEditor don't have this issue since their
controllers inherit from `ApplicationController` (which includes
authorization rules), while Active Storage controllers inherit from
`ActionController::Base`.

Since version 2.0 introduced many breaking changes, we're upgrading to
it first.
The changes have been done by installing the rubocop-faker gem and
running:
```
rubocop \
--require rubocop-faker \
--only Faker/DeprecatedArguments \
--auto-correct
```
Instead of adding the padding to each individual element inside the
container, why not adding padding to the container itself? The answer is
"because we want the background of the children elements to take the
width of the whole screen". But this generates either HTML cluttered
with elements to add padding or repetitive padding definitions in the
CSS.
So now we only define the padding once, and when an element requires a
full width background or border, we use the `full-width-background`
mixin.
In this case the code is a bit more complex because the header is also
used in the dashboard and admin layouts:
* In the public layout, the body has a margin, so we include the mixin
to take margin into account
* In the dashboard layout, the header itself has a margin, so we include
the same mixin
* In the admin layout, the headet doesn't have a margin but gets the
whole width, so in this case we include the mixin which dosen't take
the margin into account
In the future, the idea is to apply this principle to the <body>
element and remove the `@include grid-column-gutter` in the CSS as well
as the `small-12 column` classes in the HTML.
Note we use the `calc()` function inside the mixin instead of using it
in the `$full-width-margin` variable. That way we avoid nested `calc()`
operations, which don't work in Internet Explorer.
Also note we're using `flex-grow: 1` to make one element appear on the
left of the screen and the other one on the right. It would be easier to
use `justify-content: space-between` (which is actually the default for
the top-bar element). However, there's a bug in Internet Explorer and
old versions of Firefox; they include the absolutely-positioned
`::before` element we use to set the full width background when
calculating where to position the elements. The bug was fixed in Firefox
52 (released in 2017).
Finally, we're removing the padding from our logo. In order to allow
logos like the new one and at the same time provide backwards
compatibility to logos in existing CONSUL installations, we're relaxing
the validation rule for the logo width.
Previously the draft mode was a phase of the PB, but that had some
limitations.
Now the phase drafting disappears and therefore the PB can have the
status published or not published (in draft mode).
That will give more flexibility in order to navigate through the
different phases and see how it looks for administrators before
publishing the PB and everybody can see.
By default, the PB is always created in draft mode, so it gives you
the flexibility to adjust and modify anything before publishing it.
This is similar to what we do with investments, which belong to a heading
but also belong to a budget. In our case, the reason is we've been asked
to add local targets which belong to a goal but are not related to any
existing target.
Even though we're not implementing that case right now, we're adding the
relation so we don't have to add data migrations in the future.
and its relation with relatables
Note about sdg_review factory: Cannot use the constantize method on
the relatable_type as long as the relatable classes will be loaded and
this will throw an exception because the database is not available at
factiry definition time.
and its relation with the SDG goal model.
Add comparable module be able to sort collections of targets
by code attribute.

Since data for this model (title and description) is not generated in
CONSUL but by the United Nations, we aren't storing it in the database
but in our YAML translation files.
The reasoning is as follows. Suppose that, a few months after CONSUL
gets SDG support, a new language is added to CONSUL.
With YAML files, getting the texts in the new language would mean
updating CONSUL to include the new language.
But if we store these texts in the database, it means we have to update
the databases of all existing CONSUL installations, either each
installation by themselves (duplicating efforts) or running a rake task
(which we would have to write each time).
So we believe using translations works better in this case.
We're still storing records in the database with the code, so they can
be easily referenced via `has_many` or `has_many :through` associations.
When the generated title for a dashboard action ended with a space, the
action `click_link(feature.title)` failed because the link shown in the
HTML ignores the trailing spaces.
Using `strip` solves the problem. Not the most elegant solution, though;
ideally we'd generate a better title.
The current tracking section had a few issues:
* When browsing as an admin, this section becomes useless since no
investments are shown
* Browsing investments in the admin section, you're suddenly redirected
to the tracking section, making navigation confusing
* One test related to the officing dashboard failed due to these changes
and had been commented
* Several views and controller methods were copied from other sections,
leading to duplication and making the code harder to maintain
* Tracking routes were defined for proposals and legislation processes,
but in the tracking section only investments were shown
* Probably many more things, since these issues were detected after only
an hour reviewing and testing the code
So we're removing this untested section before releasing version 1.1. We
might add it back afterwards.
We were manually doing the same thing, generating inconsistent results,
since the method `valuation_tag_list` was using the `valuation` context,
when actually the expected behavior would be to use the `valuation_tag`
context.
Unfortunately this feature wasn't properly reviewed and tested, and it
had many bugs, some of them critical and hard to fix, like validations
being skipped in concurrent requests.
So we're removing it before releasing version 1.1. We might add it back
in the future if we manage to solve the critical issues.
This commit reverts commit 836f9ba7.
We were very inconsistent regarding these rules.
Personally I prefer no empty lines around blocks, clases, etc... as
recommended by the Ruby style guide [1], and they're the default values
in rubocop, so those are the settings I'm applying.
The exception is the `private` access modifier, since we were leaving
empty lines around it most of the time. That's the default rubocop rule
as well. Personally I don't have a strong preference about this one.
