Emails can get very long.
When you’re trying to do other things on the page this results in a lot
of scrolling.
This commit truncates email messages to about 3 lines, and adds a JS
toggle which reveal the full contents of the email.
On:
- the API keys page
- the ‘send’ page
There are some inconsistently small heading sizes. This commit makes them
consistent with the heading sizes on other pages.
On the send page, it should hightlight the placeholders so they match
what you need to put in the CSV file.
On the check page, they should not be highlighted, to match what’s in
the (rendered) template.
When a table is showing the contents of a CSV file, it should look
something like a spreadsheet.
The minimally skeuomorphic way to do this is by adding row numbers.
This commit doesn’t
- make the row numbers monospace (it’s barely noticeable and doesn’t
reflect what actual spreadsheets do)
- make the first column heading ‘Row’ (again, doesn’t reflect how actual
spreadsheets work, and takes up more valuable space)
Would like to test something like this and see how well it works.
Intention of having this page is so:
- template IDs are discoverable (https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/115404593)
- it’s obvious there’s an ‘automated’ way to send messages, as well as the CSV
way (we’ve seen people oblivious to this in research)
CSV files currently have ‘to’ as the recipient column. This is changing in
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/pull/109
The admin app also has to validate that the CSV files have the right columns,
because the API expects any CSV that it’s given to have been checked (also we
want things to actually work).
This commit is the minimum code change needed. In the future it should reuse
the same code as the API for processing CSV files. This will need more thinking.
This commit adds some guidance on the ‘Add recipients’ page about what should
be in the CSV file. The guidance is contextual to the template, and based on
the problems that we saw users having yesterday.
Use one page template for each of:
- choosing a message template
- adding recipients
- checking an email message
- looking at a job
This commit consolidates the two templates into one, and adds logic to show
the SMS message pattern or the email message pattern depending on the type of
template.
It also gives email templates a bit more width, because the body and the from
address tend to be quite long.
This commit parameterises all methods in the send view so that they can send
either emails or SMS messages.
It works out what kind of message it is sending from the `template_type`
property of the template object.
This means that the `Template` util class needs to know about these properties,
which means that this commit depends on:
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/2
This commit does _not_ add tests for sending emails. The existing tests for
sending SMS still pass, but actually sending emails is outside the scope of
this story.
