So you can check you’ve chosen the right areas, and to give you a clear
idea of where the boundaries of an area are.
The Javascript and CSS for the map is only loaded on this page because
it adds quite a few kb, and we don’t want to be sending assets to the
majority of our users who will never see them.
Google’s documentation says:
> robots.txt is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google. To
> keep a web page out of Google, you should use noindex directives
A noindex directive means adding the following meta tag to pages that
shouldn’t be indexed:
```html
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
```
It’s also possible to set the directive as a HTTP header, but this seems
trickier to achieve on a per-view basis in Flask.
I’ve implemented this as a decorator so it can quickly be added to any
other pages that we decide shouldn’t appear in search results.
We have a policy about how suppliers are allowed to use Notify. But we
don’t explain it anywhere. Which drives contact to our support form.
This commit that adds a new page that explains the policy.
I’ve moved the related content about who else can use Notify from the
get started page to this page as well, where it doesn’t need to sit in
a details element.
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)
Removes the following cookies:
- seen_cookie_message (flags if banner was already
shown)
- _gid (Google Analytics cookie)
- _ga (Google Analytics cookie)
These were set by default before so potentially
still around for some users.
The code for this now exists as a static method on
the cookieMessage module and is called when the JS
loads for the first time.
Copies HTML and Sass from GOV.UK Pubishing
components cookie-banner with changes to content
and functionality to better suit Notify.
Changes are:
- adds a 'reject' button which the GOV.UK
code doesn't have
- adds Sass from the GOV.UK Frontend button
component which the GOV.UK version used so
is included here
- removed click tracking from cookie banner
The SVG fallback image for the GOV.UK logo starts
its path as '/assets/images' by default unless you
send in an alternative root.
This sends in our static asset host root to stop
the image 404'ing on browsers that load it.

Any string pattern identifiable as a telephone
number is turned into a link on IOS devices by
default.
We use telephone numbers in several ways, in
particular to link to sms notifications, so need
this behaviour turned off unless specifically
required.
The cookie_message block was part of GOV.UK
template but is not included in the GOV.UK
Frontend template.
This adds it back in along with JS to set the
cookies from GOV.UK template and styles, taken
from the Design System's website (which I assume
has the right colour contrast).
GOV.UK Frontend's template wraps all content in a
`<main>` tag and puts it in the main column.
Some of Notify's pages need to reach out of the
main column (product page).
Some have several blocks of navigation before the
main content area.
This adjusts the blocks in all the templates
where this is the case so those conditions can be
met.
Replaces the following blocks/variables with the
`footer` block filled by the `notify_footer`
macro:
- footer_top
- footer_support_links
Our current footer has a few differences
with the GOVUK Frontend one:
1. the columns of links and the meta links have no
headings, visible or structural
2. the line of text saying GDS built this prefixes
the meta links whereas theirs sits on a new
link, after them
Replaces the following blocks/variables with the
`header` block filled by the `header` component:
- header_class
- proposition_header
- global_header_text
- homepage_url
Also rewrites code that selects header nav items
The original code inserts a class name to mark the
nav item as selected.
The GOVUK Frontend header just needs a boolean to
be passed to indicate an item is selected.
This uses the `header_navigation.is_selected`
method, as before, but changes its return value to
a boolean.
`admin_template.html` is the base layout used by
all pages in the application.
This swaps out its dependance on govuk_template
for the version GOVUK Frontend provides.
Also renames blocks used in `admin_template.html`,
defined in both the old and new govuk_template
whose names have changed, as listed in:
https://design-system.service.gov.uk/styles/page-template/
