Templates now have:
- a type (email or sms)
- a subject (if they are email templates)
We don’t want two completely separate view files for email and SMS, because they
would have an enormous amount of repetition.
So this commit adds
- different templates for SMS and email templates
- different form objects for SMS and email templates
…and wires them up.
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.
Since placeholders (almost) work now, it’s worth telling people what the syntax
is.
This commit also removes the ‘template type’ picker, since you can only create
SMS templates at the moment. This will be revisited when we start looking at how
you add an email template.
This commit brings in the `Template` util, added here:
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/1
It also does a fair bit of tidying up, which I’ve unfortunately squashed into
this one massive commit. The main change is moving 404 handling into the
templates dao, so that every view isn’t littered with `try: … except(HTTPError)`.
It also adds new features, in a prototypy sort of way, which are:
- download a prefilled example CSV
- show all the columns for your template on the 'check' page
When the template content was renamed in
9ee8610da0 I missed doing the same change for the
delete template route.
This commit does the same fix, so that template content is still visible when
you’re about to delete a template (so you can make sure it’s the right one).
WTForms sets the `id` of a `textarea` element to the variable name to which the
form control is assigned.
This conflicts with the page container, which is styled by targeting `#content`.
This is a link not a button because:
- it’s less prominent—delete is an infrequent action
- it’s a two-step process, and only the second part changes any data (so it has
a button)
If the templates page contains text messages and emails then there’s two ways it
could be structured:
- into two sections, all text messages first, then all emails
- emails and text messages interleaved, sorted by date
I think the second one is better. Imagine a situation where you mostly do emails
but have a few text messages. You’d have to scroll past the text messages to get
to your emails. Every time.
I reckon that the most commonly accessed templates will be the most recent ones.
This macro:
- accepts a WTForm form field as a parameter
- renders a form field which follows the GOV.UK Elements patterns, both visually
and in markup terms
It then changes any page which uses either:
- the old, non-WTForms macro or
- the old, WTFforms `render_field` macro
…to use this new macro and removes both of the old ones.
It also adds the option to display hint text above the textbox.
