_The code for this is quite hacky and light on tests. But I’d really like to get
it in the app for the research tomorrow to see how well the feature works._
This commit changes the tour from being a set of static screens to some help
which guides you through the process of sending your first test message.
The theory behind this is that what users are really struggling with is the
concept of a variable, rather than the relationship between the placeholders and
the column headers. And like learning to program, the best way to learn is by
taking an example and modifying it to your own needs.
This means that when someone adds their first service we set them up an
example email template and an example text message template. Then there is a
guided, three step process where _all_ the user can do is send a test message to
themselves.
Once the message is sent, the user still has the example templates which they
can edit, rather than having to remember what they’re supposed to be doing.
This commit does two main things:
- adds textboxes to the send yourself a test page, so you can replace
((name)) with ‘Chris’, or whatever your name is
- rejigs the send page a bit to make it clearer what the CSV upload is
for and how to use it
The idea being that, since most users go into ‘send yourself a test’
first, it teaches them about how placeholders work by making them do the
replacing themselves.
We’ve seen users try to click the upload again when their file doesn’t
upload in time. This is because we’re giving them no feedback that
something is happening.
I reckon that changing the button to a cancel button is the easiest way
to show that something is happening, and also means that (unlike
disabling the send button) the user can’t get stuck if the connection
drops completely.
As part of https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/187 the file
upload pattern was changed to auto-submit once a file had been picked. The
form that was submitted was, however, missing a CSRF token, as well as a submit
button for non-JS users.
This commit makes the file upload pattern self-contained, so that it will always
include a form with a CSRF token in a hidden input and a submit button, which is
then hidden when Javascript loads.
The ‘manage templates’ page was almost identical to the ‘send text messages’
page.
This commit consolidates them into one and makes them all hang together.
Part of this means tweaks to the javascript so that files upload as soon as
you’ve chosen them.
Based on discussion with Pete.
Make the blue banner an ‘important’ banner (copied from Register to Vote, used
because it’s not as boxy and fits on the page better).
Remove the back button because you haven’t changed any data yet. If you need to
go back you can just press back or start again.
Make the filename stand out more.
Remove the ‘download example’ link. Will need to revist the best way of doing
this.
Make text messages consistently 2/3rd width.
