2025-03-09

Added

• added "show_for_enroll" field to Track that autodefaults to True. made that UIC track false, so it shouldnt show. a very simple solution lol but does the trick for now. can change "Public"/published to have multiple options in the future if this becomes common
• the "toggle editing" on lessons should now feel snappier. removed some permissions checks that were making things laggy by making it wait for a network request, which was actually unnecessary because there are already multiple layers of auth checks
• small tweaks to things like Group page to make it a little better when someone creates a bunch of groups. not tweaked for learners yet, but as most are enrolled in ~1 group, think this is fine
• playing around with a "wide" mode again on the lessons. i dont think its very good rn, but plan to keep playing with it. trying to find a balance between readability vs. the awkwardness that can happen for large coding cells, especially when they overflow.
• new loading animation. not sure how i feel about it, but lmk your thoughts. should prevent the page from flashing on non-full swaps (like when adding a cell, for example, which was very annoying)
• bug fix for publishing/unpublishing so it actually redirects when clicking button hopefully nav refresh is a bit better on login now. might add an animation but while its refreshing, it should be "unclickable" to avoid the situation that was occasionally happening previously where clicking a link on the nav would abort the previous request to refresh it and then it would be the "un-logged in" nav despite being authenticated
• some other bug fixes i forgot about

2025-01-11

Added

• resend invite button for group members
• view group shows user status (ie, not started (invite pending), inprogress, finished)
• auto-create a private Community (forum) for every group, which is automatically appended to groups upon creation
• seen in the View Group tab and on user's sidebar under forums
• finally fixed filtering fully on the Explore page, i think. it worked previously but was weird because things were actually arranged in columns, which meant the filtering looked wrong.
• went ahead and created a Community (forum) for every institution, which users are able to access based on their Institution
• tried to make viewing groups a little more obvious - confusing for a lot of these views to distinguish between viewing as member/administrator/CGR staff member or one/two/three of those categories sometimes, so added some messages
• fixed tutorial progress bar
