Shows the broadcasts with the longest time still to live at the top. At
the moment this will be the same as the newest broadcasts, so we may
want to revisit this sort order when we have broadcasts of variable
duration.
For no-longer-live broadcasts we show the most-recently-finished at the
top, whether it finished naturally or was cancelled.
Currently this is a `get` request from the dashboard. Once we have a page
for viewing an individual broadcast it should probably show there
instead and be a `get`/confirm/`post` loop like for deleting a template.
Shows current and previous broadcasts. Does not add a page for viewing
an individual broadcast.
Broadcasts are split into live and previous.
Draft broadcasts are excluded from the dashboard.
This commit removes the code the puts areas into the session and instead
creates and then updates a draft broadcast in the database.
This is so we can avoid session-related bugs, and potentially having a
large session when we start adding personalisation etc.
Once a broadcast is ready to go it is set to `broadcasting` straight
away with no approval. We’ll revisit this as we learn more about how
users might want to manage who can create and approve broadcasts.
The tests are a bit light in terms of checking what’s on the page, but
clicking through the pages is probably good enough for now.
There are lots of places where we redirect people to the dashboard, for
example after logging in. Rather than add logic to all these places to
check for the broadcast permission, let’s just redirect from the normal
dashboard to the broadcast dashboard.
Other places like the main navigation can still link directly to the
broadcast dashboard, where we do care about speed and not going through
multiple redirect jumps.
These are just so we have some pages to click through for now. They
don’t use real templates, or any of the broadcast stuff from the
database.
But I think it’s useful to get some skeleton pages in first so that we
can see the map etc working in production, then build on that, without
having to do it all in one mega PR.
For that reason there are two short term things I’ve done in this commit
which should be revisited soon:
- no tests for the endpoints
- data about which areas are selected is stored in the session
