Build and initialise Revisions page
Always believed you needed to version everything
So in order to document my sites revisions and builds I have added a database and table. Not without a few issues I would say. I had issues getting the live server to run and update and I still have an issue when accessing the build version ie: c noake.me, however for the time being I can work around this by just updating the table in dev mode.
Link to the table
First off I needed to link to the table to show a list of revisions for each build. Great in dev mode when I could just seed the database, however when i switch to the live server It just failed to seed the database. Eventually i got round this with the —remote switch.
Build Number Auto Update
Copilot helped me script out the auto update for the build script to increment my site version number. I wanted this to then fire up the Insert page for the revisions table, however I still have not been able to get this working. It does trigger a reminder which will do for now.
Links list has at least been sketched in with some basic formatting for large and small screens. There is much more to do here as I see this as a fully functioned component loading from a database with links tagged and with a category and order / priority so they can be show as top x for climate say. Lots to do here before this becomes reality. This is possibly the next database related item to sort, once I think I have sorted a few of the outstanding issues.
Update and Edit
This functionality is now in place, not perfect but after a bit of a struggle I did manage to get the edit to work and to display the revisions list after an insert or edit. My issue here was to do with understanding what was running on the server and where the client should interact following an event.
Items on the agenda
- Bugs, as usual there are plenty of these to find and fix
- Working on / thinking about the Links List component, how to create the linked tables and the search and display format.
- More animations and transitions
- Content, content and more content
- I think I need to look at my TODO list :)
- I know for a fact there is a load yet to do in the kaleidoscope page.
- Oh, I have code for a great card with shape and animation, where to use it? Perhaps in projects?
So again plenty here.
