Website Revision History

Input helper feature now working again. It requires additional changes to further improve the look and feel, but at least it's working now.

The 'About' section of the site was separated into three parts (about, history and technology) and the about menu was changed to map it all out accordingly.

A huge number of changes behind the scenes. Additional Docker container improvements, and a host of tech to support a basic but fully automated CI/CD workflow. The technology page was heavily edited to describe the changes.

Lots of changes behind the scenes in terms of how docker runs the site, including some rather large differences between production and development environments. The technology page was added.

A project like this is never really complete, but I need to move on to other things at this time...the 'under development' banner has been removed. Going forward, data entered and accounts created will be treated as production data and never deleted or removed.

Recent changes are vast, but among the larger and more important changes:

• fully working password reset & change password features
• password reset emails the reset link to a users inbox upon request
• fully mobile compatible - use this lakeside from your phone with ease
• use of the picture tag to show different banner images at different resolutions
• huge code cleanup - discarded much unused items and optimized what's left (images/code etc)
• tons more - too much to list.

To give just a small idea of the amount of work recently completed on the site, here is what it used to look like:

Among the known issues are:

• While you can save a video link for your trick sets, there is no link to this on the trickset view page
• The input helper is not working at this time
• you can only delete a trickset from the search screen - I need to put a link to delete the set on the edit screen as well

Each of these will be addressed over the coming months. If you encounter any other issues using the site please let me know! I can be reached at rob AT thebaxters DOT ca.

Stupendous site overhaul! PHP is gone (and good riddence). Django and Python now in the mix. Apache vhosts, docker, firewalls...I feel like a full on DevOps engineer. Hell I even had to compile python and sqlite from source (a real joy that!) But it's all done and working now! In addition, the site obviously got skinned and looks great thanks to Christophe!

Please note: there is a lot of work still to be done. Everyone is now free to create an account and explore around but know that any saved trick sets and their associated accounts will be deleted "soon" when the site is considered complete and ready for genuine production use. Another note will be published here when this is done.

Fixed an annoying bug where the form present when logged in wouldn't clear when the reset button was clicked.

Added a gradient stripe background to the header and footer...meh...better but still not great looking...

Autocomplete feature for trick code selection has been made optional. It is toggled by the 'Input Helper' checkbox. If it is selected you'll have to select from the list of tricks before adding it to a pass. If it is not selected, then trick runs may be entered more quickly by hitting enter (or the add button) after entering the correct trick code in the input text box. Some additional code cleanup in this area and new styles to make mouse hover and key up/down on the list when help is enabled was also added/fixed.

The 'Positional' trick option has now been added as marking a trick as being OOC (out of course) before the trick run has started is technically inaccurate depending on when the positional trick is performed (it could be in the course if declared and performed after the entrance buoy but before the timing buoy) and a bit confusing to people more familiar with the sport.

The layout for mobile was improved, if only marginally. Reset button was moved to be above the total score. UI is now complex enough that it deserves some more attention...
