If enabled, jfa-go pings buildrone (hosted at builds.hrfee.pw) every 30
min for new updates. If there is one, it gets information (and if
applicable, a binary) from the appropriate source (buildrone, github, or
dockerhub) and displays it on the admin page. You can switch update
channels between stable and unstable. For binary releases, updates are
downloaded automatically and installed when the user presses update.
Since this obviously introduces some "phone-home" functionality into
jfa-go, I just want to say IPs are not and will not be logged by
buildrone, although I may later introduce functionality to give a rough
idea of the number of users (again, no IPs stored). The whole thing can
also be turned off in settings.
Variables are surrounded by {}, and initial (default) templates are
generated on demand from the plaintext version of emails. The custom
emails are intended to only be used if the user actually changes them,
as they lose the features of the default ones, such as tables.
merge go1.16 changes
This includes embedded files for releases (no extra 'data' directory!)
and support for a custom language file directory, allowing one to
customize the text accross the app.
paths are pretty janky, but it works. Also, [files]/lang_files now must
be the path to a directory CONTAINING a "lang/" directory. I'll work
around this at a later date.
The local app translations are loaded, and then if [files]/lang_files
is provided (a directory containing custom translations), any found
inside it are loaded over top. This makes customizing much easier.
ioutil's contents are now in io and os.
Eventually jfa-go's files will be embedded in the binary with go1.16's
new embed feature. Using io/fs will provide abstraction for accessing
these files, and allow for both embedded and non-embedded versions.
Also, internal paths to things like email templates, etc. will be
prefixed with "jfa-go:" to indicate to use the app's own Filesystem
instead of reading the file normally. This also allows for custom files
to continue to be used as they are currently.
Admin translation from @Killianbe, Email translation from
@Cornichon420. French is currently not functional, a few things are
missing which i'm waiting on.
the web ui has been redesigned with the a17t toolkit, which imo looks a
lot better than bootstrap. This also brought a complete rework of the
web code, which now makes a lot more sense hopefully. the setup page is
still stuck with bootstrap, its not much of a priority but i'll rewrite
it eventually.
'html_templates' in 'files' can be set to a directory, in which you can
place custom version of the web ui pages. Added for #9. Wiki explainer
to follow.
invites
use table-sm and no form-check-input so profile menu looks normal on
bs4. Profile was being read after being marked as used on invites, so
single-use invites were deleted and no profile was applied.
user templates will become profiles. You will be able to make multiple,
and assign them to invites individually. This commit migrates the
separate template files into one profile entry called "Default", and
lets you select them on invites. No way to create profiles has been
added yet.
Added script to convert config-base.json into a go struct, so that
access to config values and metadata could be unified and simpler. It
probably won't see any actual use though as mapping the ini into it is
painful.
Copied and fixed the build scripts from jf-accounts, added them to the
.goreleaser.yml. Also:
data directory now stored in user's config folder
Handle timeouts in jfapi
Maybe more i forgot about.
