If you have a long template it’s annoying to have to scroll all the
way to the bottom to click save, when you’ve only changed a small thing
near the staert of the content.
This will stop us repeatedly forgetting to add `novalidate` and
`autocomplete='off'` to our forms (which is how most of them are set
up).
It uses sensible defaults, based on how we most-commonly configure
forms:
- most of our forms are `post`ed (but this can be overridden)
- `autocomplete` should only be enabled where it makes sense, otherwise
it’s more annoying than useful (but this can be overriden)
- we should never be using HTML5 form validation because our own error
styles and messages are better
Sometimes when setting up a service you might have a few very similar
templates, in which only a small amount of content. Or you might even
have a few of services, which are used by different teams but have
similar templates.
Copy and pasting, especially from one service to another, is a pain.
This commit makes it easier by allowing users to copy an existing
template when choosing to add a new one, instead of starting from
scratch.
Users were having trouble finding the delete template link. It sort of
made sense having it on the edit page before we had the view template
page. But it doesn’t make sense now – having to choose to ‘edit’ the
template before you can delete is counterintuitive.
The single template page is where you go to choose an action to perform
on your template. Deleting is a good example of an action you can
perform on a template.
So this commit moves the delete link from the edit template page to the
view template page.
It also puts the confirm banner on same page as the delete link
The idea being that, in order to make a decision about whether to delete
the template, it’s useful to be able to see the template you’re
deleting. There’s no user need to edit the template before you delete
it.
The textbox we use for editing letters is the same size as that for
email and text messages.
This is problematic because:
- it feels quite cramped – letters will often be longer than emails or
text messages
- it has a narrower line length than the printed letters (which is a
constant, unlike for emails and text messages)
The printed letters have a line length of 137.5mm and a font size of
12.5pt.
137.5mm = 5.41 inches = 389.7pt line length
389.7pt/12.5pt = 31.8em
So we could make the box 31.8em wide, but then it wouldn’t align to our
grid.
Our grid splits the page into quarters initially because this is how
wide the navigation is. So this means that we can use grid units of
1/multiples of four, eg 1/4, 1/8, 1/12, 1/16, etc. But the smaller the
denominator, the less effective the grid will be – it gets closer to no
grid at all.
After having a play around, 5/8 of the page looks closest to 31.8em.
Since the main column of the page is 3/4, we set a column of 5/6 width
inside that, which equals 5/8 of the total page.
This page is not the place where you edit the contact details. Nor is
it the place where you can preview changes to the contact block. In
research users never found the link to get from this page to the edit
contact details page. So this commit removes it.
In pages specific to a service (e.g. dashboard and sub pages) the title
needs to distinguish which service it applies to. This is mainly to give
context to screen reader users who could be managing multiple services.
Implementing this uses template inheritance:
`page_title` includes `per_page_title` includes `service_page_title`
‘GOV.UK Notify’ is inserted into every page title.
Pages that set `service_page_title` get the service name inserted too.
Let users create/edit/delete letter templates.
Let them upload a CSV file or send a test against a letter template.
Big assumption at the moment is that addresses only have one line, and
therefore one column in the CSV file.
