When you hover the row for a layer in the table, it highlights the
corresponding layer in the outfit viewer. And when you click anywhere
in the row, it opens the first link (usually the PNG image).
Sometimes I forget like, what the masc/fem variants of a given pet
actually look like? Some are super obvious about things like eyelashes,
and others use more subtle eye differences.
This is a cheap lil hack to make it easier to open a reference! Ideally
I think it would be neat to like, when you hover over an option, have
it show you the reference variant of that pose? But this is good enough
I think!
We copy the same feature from alt styles, now that the UI is shared via
support form helpers! Easy peasy!
This adds a "Then: Go to unlabeled appearance" checkbox next to the
submit button on the pet appearance edit form. If checked, it takes you
to the first unlabeled appearance in the database, and keeps the box
checked for next time. Slam through 'em!
I want to reuse this for unlabeled pet styles is why! (That's been the
immediate motivation for this refactor, but also I do just like that
it'll make support forms easier to build.)
I think helpers are fine for the simpler ones that are basically *just*
wrapper tags, but once it starts getting into `concat`, I think that's
too unfamiliar of a syntax for developers; let's bail into our usual
templating system!
I'm not sure about putting them in `application/support_form` like this.
That's cute for one-offs like `application/hanger_spinner`, because
`render partial: "hanger_spinner"` assumes the `application` view folder
by default, but that doesn't work once it's nested: it looks for a
`views/support_form` folder.
I think maybe it could soon be time to bail from the strict "view
folders belong to controllers" thing, similar to how we did for
`SupportFormHelper`, and add a `components` folder or similar? Idk, not
sure yet!
Instead of hand-rolling HTML, this offers helpers like `f.field`, to
help ensure the HTML is consistent, and to keep the templates more
focused on the unique form elements.
Most notable change here is extracting the pose option bubbles into a
`data-type="radio-grid"`, and pulling that into the `.support-form`
CSS. My rationale is that, unlike most fields, this field benefits from
being 100%-width, and I don't want to specify that as an override if I
can avoid it, because that's fragile-y.
Instead, I extract this into a generic type of field that
`.support-form` can use (it feels pretty reusable anyway!), and require
the caller to specify how many columns they want as `--num-columns`.
Specifically, I'm going for a more-vertical layout, cuz I want to bring
PetState over to it, and the weird grid situation wasn't gonna fit the
big pose label radios.
Oh right, yeah, we like to do things gracefully around here when
there's no corresponding color/species record yet!
Paying more attention to this, I'm thinking like… it could be a cool
idea to, in modeling, *create* the new color/species record, and just
not have all the attributes filled in yet? Especially now that we're
less dependent on attributes like `standard` to be set for correct
functioning.
But for now, we follow the same strategy we do elsewhere in the app: a
pet type can have `color_id` and `species_id` that don't correspond to
a real record, and we cover over that smoothly.
Also, while we're here! To restore the lost data, I:
1. Downloaded this scheduled public data backup, which was taken
thankfully the day before we updated modeling code!
https://impress.openneo.net/public-data/2024-11-03T08_15_02Z-scheduled.sql.gz
2. Trimmed it just to the section about the `parents_swf_assets` table:
dropping it, then rebuilding it from scratch.
3. Ran this modified backup SQL dump on the production server.
4. Ran the code from `db/migrate/20241001052510_add_cached_fields_to_items.rb`
to bring items' cached fields back into the correct state.
I also had to fix some errors in the item data that prevented some
items from passing the latest validations:
```rb
Item.where(rarity: "").update_all(rarity: "???")
Item.where(description: "").update_all(description: "???")
Item.where(zones_restrict: "").update_all(zones_restrict: "00000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000")
```
The NC Pet Styles sentence getting broken across two lines I think
makes it too hard to notice.
Design-wise, it would be nice to just call better attention to this
feature altogether in some higher-level design-language-y way, but!
Whatever!
If you check this box, it'll keep you in a mode where saving an alt
style redirects you to the *next* one that needs labeling, until
they're all done. Useful for big drops!
Before this change, pages that opt in with `use_responsive_design`
would often have the top nav be real cluttered for logged-in users. (I
think I happened to first test this responsive design without being
logged in on my dev box, oops!) Because the home link and `#userbar`
were absolutely positioned on the page, they would frequently overlap.
Here, I stop doing our old tricks to make the top nav load last on the
page. (This was to get "main content" loading faster, which I think is
a. not as relevant today with more commonly faster connections, and b.
was a bit naive to think that it'd be helpful to have to wait a long
time to _navigate_ if a page is unexpectedly large.)
These tricks used to leave some padding at the top of the `#container`,
which these elements would then visually fill via `position: absolute`
once they load.
Next, I update the CSS (for the responsive design pages only) to use
the new `#main-nav` container to lay them out in Flexbox: all in one
row if possible, or wrapped if needed.
Some designs hide stuff like this into a hamburger menu or such when
the screen gets small. I haven't done that here! No specific reason,
I'm just not sold that it's that much better, or worth the trouble.
I tested this on the following combinations:
1. Logged out, homepage
2. Logged in, homepage
3. Logged out, `/items`
4. Logged in, `/items`
5. Logged out, `/items/89487-Dyeworks-Purple-Haunted-Sky-Background`
6. Logged in, `/items/89487-Dyeworks-Purple-Haunted-Sky-Background`
Hope it's solid! 🤞
Huh, I hadn't realized that like, we'd already set up the controller to
always *run* basically all of the modeling logic, and the caching in
the view layer wasn't saving us any queries anymore. Kinda silly!
Remove the caching call, just to simplify the codebase (I like to avoid
caching things that don't specifically need it!).
And hey, love that the modeling code in the controller is now *way*
faster to run! You love to see it!
By default, Rails gives this button the name `commit`, so it appears in
the URL the form sends to. By setting the name to `nil`, Rails doesn't
set a `name` attribute on the HTML element, so it's *not* included.
