Add a permission system for admin users so you can lock down specific admins to
a narrower set of features instead of them all having omnipotent powers.
* New page: Admin Dashboard -> Admin Permissions Management
* Permissions are handled in the form of 'scopes' relevant to each feature or
action on the site. Scopes are assigned to Groups, and in turn, admin user
accounts are placed in those Groups.
* The Superusers group (scope '*') has wildcard permission to all scopes. The
permissions dashboard has a create-once action to initialize the Superusers
for the first admin who clicks on it, and places that admin in the group.
The following are the exhaustive list of permission changes on the site:
* Moderator scopes:
* Chat room (enter the room with Operator permission)
* Forums (can edit or delete user posts on the forum)
* Photo Gallery (can see all private/friends-only photos on the site
gallery or user profile pages)
* Certification photos (with nuanced sub-action permissions)
* Approve: has access to the Pending tab to act on incoming pictures
* List: can paginate thru past approved/rejected photos
* View: can bring up specific user cert photo from their profile
* The minimum requirement is Approve or else no cert photo page
will load for your admin user.
* User Actions (each action individually scoped)
* Impersonate
* Ban
* Delete
* Promote to admin
* Inner circle whitelist: no longer are admins automatically part of the
inner circle unless they have a specialized scope attached.
The AdminRequired decorator may also apply scopes on an entire admin route.
The following routes have scopes to limit them:
* Forum Admin (manage forums and their settings)
* Remove from inner circle
* A reason must be entered to impersonate a user, and it triggers a
Report and email notification to the admin.
* User gallery pages will show at the top whether the user had granted
you access to their private photos.
* Users who set their Profile Picture to "friends only" or "private" can have
their avatar be private all over the website to users who are not their
friends or not granted access.
* Users who are not your friends see a yellow placeholder avatar, and users
not granted access to a private Profile Pic sees a purple avatar.
* Admin users see these same placeholder avatars most places too (on search,
forums, comments, etc.) if the user did not friend or grant the admin. But
admins ALWAYS see it on their Profile Page directly, for ability to moderate.
* Fix marking Notifications as read: clicking the link in an unread notification
now will wait on the ajax request to finish before allowing the redirect.
* Update the FAQ
Finish implementing the basic forum features:
* Pinned threads (admin or board owner only)
* Edit Thread settings when you edit the top-most comment.
* NoReply threads remove all the reply buttons.
* Explicit forums and threads are filtered out unless opted-in (admins
always see them).
* Count the unique members who participated in each forum.
* Get the most recently updated thread to show on forum list page.
* Contact/Report page: handle receiving a comment ID to report on.
Implement Likes & Notifications
* Like buttons added to Photos and Profile Pages. Implemented via simple
vanilla JS (likes.js) to make ajax requests to back-end to like/unlike.
* Notifications: for your photo or profile being liked. If you unlike,
the existing notifications about the like are revoked.
* The notifications appear as an alert number in the nav bar and are read
on the User Dashboard. Click to mark a notification as "read" or click
the "mark all as read" button.
Update DeleteUser to scrub likes, notifications, threads, and comments.
* Add the Contact page where users can contact the site admins for feedback or
to report a problematic user, photo or message.
* Reports go into the admin Feedback table.
* Admin nav bar indicates number of unread feedbacks.
* Add "Report" button to profile pages, photo cards, and the top of Direct
Message threads.
Misc changes:
* Send emails out asynchronously for more responsive page loads.
* Add impersonate feature
* Add ban/unban user feature
* Add promote/demote admin status feature
* Add admin user deletion feature
* Admin ability to see other status certification pics
* Nav bar indicator of pending admin actions such as cert pics
needing approval
* Admin ability to search cert pics for specific user
* Add "Site Gallery" page showing all public+gallery member photos.
* Add "Certification Required" decorator for gallery and other main pages.
* Add the Certification Photo workflow:
* Users have a checklist on their dashboard to upload a profile pic
and post a certification selfie (two requirements)
* Admins notified by email when a new certification pic comes in.
* Admin can reject (w/ comment) or approve the pic.
* Users can re-upload or delete their pic at the cost of losing
certification status if they make any such changes.
* Users are emailed when their photo is either approved or rejected.
* User Preferences: can now save the explicit pref to your account.
* Explicit photos on user pages and site gallery are hidden if the
current user hasn't opted-in (user can always see their own explicit
photos regardless of the setting)
* If a user is viewing a member gallery and explicit pics are hidden, a
count of the number of explicit pics is shown to inform the user that
more DO exist, they just don't see them. The site gallery does not do
this and simply hides explicit photos.
