For too long, we've Replace-All'd to increment site asset version
numbers. This is a task that has an obvious solution using the
templating engine. As such, we now have templates/util/assetcache.html
which contains a dict of version numbers and a macro to generate the
versioned name of an asset.
Going forward, it is recommended that all future replace-all uses
are used as opportunities to switch to the macro. Do remember to
import the macro in all top-level templates, if not already present.
Recommended form: {%- from 'util/assetcache.html' import asset -%}
Then add a key to CACHE_VER in util/assetcache.html.
Then replace the asset path in templates eg: {{asset('css/main.css')}}
For all future versions of those assets, one can simply increment
the value in util/assetcache.html instead. This will greatly reduce
git spam touching unrelated files and generally be clearer and easier.
Adds award to enable viewing profile visitors for non-mops and
non-patrons. This commit should encompass all frontend, backend, and
database changes necessary. Perhaps usable as a model for other
user upgrade flag awards.
The confetti button in the awardModal had a conflicting ID to the
newly-reimplemented confetti award. This resulted in an amusing bug
where the awardModal was filled with confetti. Conflict has been
resolved by renaming the confetti overlay.
This is what I deserve for writing code at 3AM.
To replace the implementation of the confetti award, we now use an
animated WebP tiled as a background image on a fixed overlay. This
should alleviate the previous performance concerns (no runtime
calculation of confetti mechanics & rendering) and maintainable
concerns.
Removes temporary changes for the Birthgay 2022 event, ending
approximately at 2022-05-23 0600Z. Changes:
- Double XP disabled.
- Lootboxes disabled.
- Three event awards given real descriptions and colors.
- Partyhats: restored to cakeday-only condition and tooltip.
- Header UI: balloons removed, text visibility outline removed,
journoid banner reverted, marseyjam as header icon.
- Birthgay banners: removed from template, moved to new storage dir.
Confetti, though remaining as a permanent award, has been temporarily
removed pending a less performance-intensive implementation and one
that doesn't require maintaining a third-party package in the codebase.
