This should:
- make the page load faster because it has to render less HTML for each
service
- make the page easier to scan for services that are sending lots of
text messages or letters
We used to scan this page to look for services with high failure rates,
and the design of the page was gear towards this. Now we have alerting
for high failure rates, so the page can focus on volumes instead.
This commit also puts the service name above the statistics, so that
long service names don’t break the layout of the page.
All paragraphs should have class="govuk-body", or be otherwise
custom-styled. This commit adds some extra checks to our test fixture
that looks for paragraphs that don’t have any styling. Our test coverage
is pretty good, so this should check almost all pages, and prevent
regressions.
I’ve done this in such a way that it can be extended for other elements
(e.g. links) in the future.
This commit does two things:
- brings the ‘All organisations’ page back within the platform admin
part of the site (because it’s hard to find otherwise)
- makes the layouts of all the pages within platform admin a bit closer
to the service-specific pages in terms of heading sizes, spacing, etc
so that moving between them doesn’t feel so jumpy
This page is slow to load which means:
- it’s annoying for us
- it’s potentially causing load on the database
This commit does two things to reduce the amount we’re unnecessarily
looking at this page:
1. Avoid redirecting to it when signing in as a platform admin user
2. Don’t go directly to it when clicking ‘platform admin’ at the top,
but instead show a holding page (there’s a fair chance you’ve clicked
that link in order to go and manage some email branding or find a
user, not wait for stats to load)
We had 7 classes in _grids.scss named `.column-...` which were being
used to give a certain column width. These worked by using `@include
grid column()`, which is now deprecated.
`.column-whole` and `.column-three-quarters` can be removed and replaced
with `govuk-grid-column-full` and `govuk-grid-column-three-quarters`
respectively. The other column classes don't have a direct replacment in
GOV.UK Frontend. To get round this, we overwrite the `$govuk-grid-width`
SASS map in `extensions.scss` to add in extra widths, then use this with
the `govuk-grid-column` mixin to create new classes in for our custom
widths in `_grids.scss`
Includes:
- turning off :visited styles to match existing
design
- swapping heading classes used to make links bold
for the GOVUK Frontend bold override class
- adding visually hidden text to some links to
make them work when isolated from their context
We may need to revisit whether some links, such as
those for documentation and features, may benefit
from having some indication that their target has
been visited.

This replaces the buttons that aren't part of a macro and that we don't
need to write additional styles for with their govuk-frontend equivalent.
There were some links that were styled to look like buttons, so these
have also been replaced with the new govuk-frontend macro.
There was one button on the `choose-account.html` template that was in a
section of code that was never reached - this has been deleted.
Includes:
- in gulpfile.js:
- add details macro to list of those copied from GOVUK Frontend
- remove existing details polyfill
- convert all, but one, <details> tags to use GOVUK Frontend details component
- add jinja boolean filter to help setting 'open' attribute of <details> tags
Notes on the `<details>` not included in this:
The `<details>` used for notifications items on
the API integration page is not possible to
reproduce with the GOV.UK Frontend macro so I'm
splitting the resulting work out into it's own
commit.

We can use the ‘Uploads’ feature to check if letters are printable now.
This code works in a completely different way, so if we kept it we’d
have to maintain two different code paths, and make sure that they
didn’t diverge.
Also deletes the related HTML templates.
This report will be used by the engagement team. There is a form to give
a start and end date for the report, and the form is then downloaded
as a CSV file when the form is submitted.
It’s annoying having to go through the slow-to-load platform admin index
page to get to organisations. And it makes more sense for them to be
in the same place as other organisations and services that you can see.
a form that allows you to clear entries from the cache for all of
either users, services or templates. It'll tell you the largest amount
of keys deleted, since there are multiple keys associated with each
model.
This is a platform admin page which lists all letter brands and their
domain. Once the page to edit a letter brand has been created, each
brand will link to its edit page, but for now this is just a list of
brand names and domains.
When we first built letters you could only send them via a CSV upload, initially we needed a way to send those files to dvla per job.
We since stopped using this page. So let's delete it!
- 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
This will stop us repeatedly forgetting to add `novalidate` and
`autocomplete='off'` to our forms (which is how most of them are set
up).
It uses sensible defaults, based on how we most-commonly configure
forms:
- most of our forms are `post`ed (but this can be overridden)
- `autocomplete` should only be enabled where it makes sense, otherwise
it’s more annoying than useful (but this can be overriden)
- we should never be using HTML5 form validation because our own error
styles and messages are better
A platform admin form accepts a list of references (one per line)
received from DVLA and sends them to the API to update notification
statuses.
References we get from DVLA start with `NOTIFY00\d`, which isn't
part of the reference we store in the database, so we remove them
before sending the data to the API.
The new `returned-letter` status should be treated as `delivered`
for now until we decide a way to display returned letters to users.
We had kept the original platform-admin page at `/platform-admin` and
created a new page, `/platform-admin-new` for the new platform admin
page. Now that the numbers on both pages look ok we no longer need both
pages, so can replace the original page.
Check that the format of the dates entered is in the `YYYY-MM-DD` as
specified and show an error message if it is not. If the date was not in
the specified format, there would be no error message but the content of
the page would change which was misleading.
Added a new platform admin page, at '/plaform-admin-new' which shows
different data. This no longer offers the option to filter by test-key,
only by date, and also gives a more detailed break-down of the
notifications and failures sent with a normal / research key.
The existing platform admin stats page ('/platform-admin') has not been
deleted yet so that both pages can be compared.
A new platform admin page Email complaints has been added to surface those complaints.
Eventually the complaints will be visible to the services so they can remove the email address from their mailing list.
Next thing to implement is "x email complaints" warning on the platform admin summary page.
Both `<button type='submit'>Submit<button>` and
`<input type='submit' value='Submit'>` can be used to submit a form.
We have historically[1] used `<input>` because it’s better-supported by
IE6 in that:
- the `submit` attribute is mandatory on `<button>`, not on `<input>`
- the `innerHTML` of a button will be submitted to the server, not the
value (as in other browsers)
Reasons to now use `<button>` instead:
- IE6/7 support is no longer a concern (especially with deprecation of
TLS 1.0 on the way)
- Because an `<input>` element can’t have children, the pseudo-element
hack[2] used to ensure the top edge of the button is clickable doesn’t
work. We’re seeing this bug[3] affect real users in research.
