This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
FIX: Disallow renaming of system badges
FIX: Disallow renaming/deleting of system badge groupings
UX: Use "modern" button style in badge groupings dialog
Upon saving a badge or requesting a badge result preview,
BadgeGranter.contract_checks! will examine the provided badge SQL for
some contractual obligations - namely, the returned columns and use of
trigger parameters.
Saving the badge is wrapped in a transaction to make this easier, by
raising ActiveRecord::Rollback on a detected violation.
On the client, a modal view is added for the badge query sample run
results, named admin-badge-preview.
The preview action is moved up to the route.
The save action, on failure, triggers a 'saveError' action (also in the
route).
The preview action gains a new parameter, 'explain', which will give the
output of an EXPLAIN query for the badge sql, which can be used by forum
admins to estimate the cost of their badge queries.
The preview link is replaced by two links, one which omits (false) and
includes (true) the EXPLAIN query.
The Badge.save() method is amended to propogate errors.
Badge::Trigger gets some utility methods for use in the
BadgeGranter.contract_checks! method.
Additionally, extra checks outside of BadgeGranter.contract_checks! are
added in the preview() method, to cover cases of null granted_at
columns.
An uninitialized variable path is removed in the backfill() method.
TODO - it would be nice to be able to get the actual names of all
columns the provided query returns, so we could give more errors
