When you land on the page it’s good to be able to quickly see what the
currently-set value is, before you change it.
This is unnecessarily hard if the selected item is buried half way down
the page. This commit moves it to the top.
Currently the brandings have non-deterministic sorting, which means
the order changes from page load to page load. This makes it hard to
find the item you’re looking for.
This commit sorts them by the name of the branding, same as for email
brandings.
WTForms lets you pre-populate a form’s value by passing it in as an
argument to the constructor.
This will be good for us because it will let us access that value in
the constructor later on.
These helper functions for modifying a service permission were just
floating around loose in the view code.
A much better home for them is on the model. This will also make it
easy to reuse them in other views if we ever need to.
We have a lot of places in settings where we update something by passing
in the `service_id`. `current_service` already knows about `service_id`,
so it’s cleaner to encapsulate these updates inside the model.
We didn’t used to allow this because it wasn’t really possible with the
old DVLA set up and we didn’t think there’s a need.
We think it’s possible now because, even though it’s cumbersome, it’s
better than the manual process.
Making people use a property is a sure way to make sure they’re spelling
the name of the property correctly, and allows us to easily swap out
properties that call through to the underlying JSON, and properties
which are implemented as methods.
The API should always return something in the JSON for a property, even
if it’s just `None`.
There’s a lot of code in service settings which:
- talks to the API directly through the clients
- passes that information through to the Jinja template
By encapsulating this logic in the service model:
- the Jinja template can access the data directly
- the logic can be reused across multiple methods
The view here is rebuilding a pseudo-service object. Now that service
objects have templates it’s cleaner to use the actual service object.
Requires a small change to the `templates_by_type` method so that it can
filter by one or many template types (a user should be able to copy any
template whose type is enabled for their service, and the service
they’re copying from).
This commit is the first step to disentangling the models from the API
clients. With the models in the same folder as the API clients it makes
it hard to import the API clients within the model without getting a
circular import.
After this commit the user API clients still has this problem, but at
least the service API client doesn’t.
Making people use a property is a sure way to make sure they’re spelling
the name of the property correctly, and allows us to easily swap out
properties that call through to the underlying JSON, and properties
which are implemented as methods.
We do a lot of logic around choosing which templates to show. This logic
is all inside one view method.
It makes it cleaner to break this logic up into functions. But this
would mean passing around variables from one function to another.
Putting these methods onto a class (the service model) means that
there’s a place to store this data (rather than having to pass it around
a lot).
Making this code more manageable is important so that when we have
templates and folders it’s easy to encapsulate the logic around
combining the two.
At the moment we are manually cancelling letters for people when they
ask us to. Once’s we’ve done this there is no indication that it’s
happened except for the date going red on the list of letters.
This commit adds some error messaging and styling to show when a letter
is cancelled.
Letting people cancel their own letters will be a future enhancement.
Coloured brandings can just be a coloured
background with text. At the moment the /_email
preview page assumes a logo image will be part of
a brand so looks broken.
- add get/post view
- create a pdf upload form
- add a template where user can upload the file
- check boundaries of the letter by calling template-preview
- display banner messages with boundaries validation result
- display pages of the document, with visible boundaries overlay
if the document did not pass validation, and without overlay
if they do pass validation
Updated the 'get_sum_billing_units' function to no longer multiply the
billing units by the rate multiplier. The billing_units that come from
notifications-api already consist of the billable_units * rate_multiplier.
The rate_multiplier is also not returned from the api response anymore.
Also updated the billing mocks since these were not mocking the right fields in
the JSON responses from the API billing endpoints, and added the new
'postage' field which will get returned from the monthly-usage endpoint
in notifications-api.
We’ve had a support ticket saying:
> Hi, where a letter goes over to two sides, is there a way in the
> 'Preview' screen (or anywhere else) that I can see page two? I can
> see page one OK, but can't work out how to see what's generated on the
> second page.
Whether you’re about to send 1000s of letters – or just want to preview
how one will look – it’s probably useful to be able to see more than
just the first page.
2/3 of our incomplete requests to go live are incomplete because the
Data Sharing and Financial Agreement isn’t signed.
We reckon we can be pushier about this by saying it’s ‘incomplete’ where
we know the agreement is signed.
Where the agreement is signed we should confirm this, rather than make
the line disappear. This is so it makes more sense to someone who sees
it as ‘incomplete’, signs it, then comes back to the page.
If we don’t know whether or not the agreement is signed we should wait
until someone has got in touch with us by requesting to go live to
figure it out. So that’s why we’re not showing that line at all.
This tag was not showing up in the call to the Zendesk API because the
return value of a generator is not included as a member of that
generator (on things `yield`ed from it are).
At the moment we manually tag tickets as they come in so we can analyse
how many of each type we’re getting.
Further, we manually tag all the request to go live tickets once a month
to analyse how many are complete/incomplete.
All this tagging is useful, but quite time consuming. Notify already
knows this information and – using the Zendesk API – we can tag them
automatically.
I’ve checked with Holly and this is the taxonomy we want to use.
We’ve learned of a change implemented today by the UK mobile
network operators, to stop allowing text message sender names
of 3 or less characters.
Adding this validation will not affect existing senders, only those
users trying to add to or update their senders.
