Again, because the users of this page are probably not the same ones responsible
for creating templates, and we shouldn’t be encouraging users to create new
templates for each job (defeats the object of having templates).
A previous commit removed these to differentiate between this page and the
manage templates page. It turns out that we do want previews on this page
because:
- the users for the two pages might be different—they might only be allowed to
do one or the other depending what permissions they have
- it’s useful to see what the placeholders in the message are before uploading
a CSV, to make sure the CSV has the correct column headings
This commit re-adds the message preview with a simpler UI. Discussed with
@antimega and we both agreed that the speech bubble tails on the messages should
go.
At the moment the file contents are not persisted by checked in
memory.
The first and last three records are show if all are valid.
If there are invalid rows, they are reported and the user is
prompted to go back and sort out upload file.
The storing of upload result (i.e. validation of file) in session
will be removed in next story which is about persisting of file
for later processing.
Submit form was
- a confusing name in itself
- not descriptive, because it also has an optional ‘back’ link
This commit also puts this component in as many pages as possible, stripping
out any hard-coded buttons and links.
It replaces any usage of buttons for ‘back’, because these are links, not
buttons (ie they don’t change any data).
This commit:
- replaces links that look like buttons with forms and submit buttons
- splits the view code for SMS into its own file
- moves the routing into the Python by adding handling for `post` requests
- uses Flask’s `url_for` to generate URLs, rather than hard coding them (so that
it’s easier to change the URLs)
- chages the URLs for sending text messages
We could do something with Javascript to only show the selected template. For
now this is something that works without Javascript.
This means we can put off getting the build and testing pipeline for Javascript
set up, which is a bigger and more unknown piece of work.
This commit adds some stubbed data for the pages. The structure of the data
is just a proposal, but it gives the templates something to work with for now.
As a first guess placeholders can be added to messages with the
`((placeholder))` syntax.
This commit adds a Jinja template filter to convert strings containing
said-formatted strings into HTML, which can then be styled to highlight which
parts will be substituted in messages.
Main thing that was missing was including the main CSS file in the template.
There are a few hacky bits here, like moving the whole of toolkit inside the
stylesheets directory.
Would arguably be cleaner using something that isn’t Flask Assets, but that’s
something for later.
