If `kiwix-serve` is run with the `--nosearchbar` option the toolbar is
disabled (hidden) in its viewer.
Note however that certain actions performed by the viewer merely with
the purpose of keeping the toolbar up-to-date are still carried out.
`--nosearchbar` option of `kiwix-serve` (despite its misleading name)
was used to disable the entire taskbar. This commit accounts for the
existence of that option only partially:
1. Links to books on the welcome/library page are affected - by default
books are displayed in the viewer, but in a kiwix-serve instance run
with --nosearchbar books are loaded in the top window.
2. The `/viewer` endpoint is enabled unconditionally, so if anyone
enters the viewer URL in the address bar they will see books in the
viewer.
Made the viewer respect the `--blockexternal` and `--nolibrarybutton`
options of `kiwix-serve`. Those options are passed to the viewer
via the dynamically generated resource `/viewer_settings.js`.
The only place that the root link is now used is in /skin/index.js,
so added it in static/templates/index.html. But it seems that nothing
prevents us from from switching from aboslute paths to relative paths
in /skin/index.js, which will eliminate the need for the root link
altogether.
As a result of this change content is never decorated by kiwix serve.
If the server is initialized with a library.xml file, then the id
specified in the XML file is used (rather than the UUID recorded in the
ZIM file).
Note that in test/data/library.xml the book ids are fake and
different from the real ZIM IDs; that file was created for testing
of the /catalog endpoint which doesn't access ZIM content, so the
the same ZIM file zimfile.zim was added to library.xml three times as
three different books (with unique human-friendly ids). This explains
the diff in test/library_server.cpp.
Now after porting index.js and taskbar.js to vanilla JS, it is time to remove files.
Deleted static/skin/jquery-ui
Updated customIndexPage template in README.md.
Thank you for your service, jQuery :)
This change centers tiles on welcome page to give a more consistent whitespace look on both sides.
For this, the layout in Isotope JS is changed to masonry.
This change introduces filtering by tags.
To filter, the user can click on the tag name and it will filter it.
A label is added (clickable) to show the tag filter, it can be clicked to remove the filter
In #727 inline CSS [was extracted](e4a4b2f961)
from `static/templates/no_search_result.html` into a separate stylesheet
resource. The purpose was to later
1. get rid of the custom `static/templates/no_search_result.html` error
template and use a general purpose error template instead (this was
accomplished by PR #744).
2. deduplicate the CSS code between `static/templates/no_search_result.html` and
`static/templates/search_result.html` by making the latter to also refer to
an internal CSS resource rather than containing inline stylesheet code.
While preparing to implement the 2nd point, I figured out that
`kiwix::SearchRenderer` is used as a component in `kiwix-desktop` too,
which probably would be upset by a link to a libkiwix's internal CSS resource.
This commit documents that finding.
The story of search_results.css
static/skin/search_results.css was extracted from
static/templates/no_search_result.html before the latter was dropped.
static/templates/no_search_result.html in turn seems to be a copied and
edited version of static/templates/search_result.html.
In the context of exploratory work on the internationalization of
kiwix-serve (PR #679) I noticed duplication of inline CSS across those
two templates and intended to eliminated it. That goal was not fully
accomplished (static/templates/search_result.html remained untouched)
because by that time PR #679 grew too big and the efforts were diverted
into splitting it into smaller ones. Thus search_results.css slipped
into one of those small PRs, without making much sense because nothing
really justifies preserving custom CSS in the "Fulltext search unavailable"
error page.
At the same time, it served as the only case where a link to a cacheable
resource is generated in C++ code (rather than found in a template).
This poses certain problems to the handling of cache-ids. A workaround
is to expel the URL into a template so that it is processed by
`kiwix-resources`. This commit merely demonstrates that solution. But
whether it should be preserved (or rather the "Fulltext search
unavailable" page should be deprived of CSS) is questionable.
In template resources (found under static/templates), strings of the
form "PATH/TO/STATIC/RESOURCE?KIWIXCACHEID" are expanded into
"PATH/TO/STATIC/RESOURCE?cacheid=CACHEIDVAL" where CACHEIDVAL is a
8-digit hexadecimal hash digest of the file at
static/PATH/TO/STATIC/RESOURCE.
At this point a potential issue has been revealed. Now we produce
the final HTML via 2-level template expansion
1. Render parameterized messages
2. Render the HTML template
In which templates we should use double mustache "{{}}" (HTML-escaping)
tags and where we may use triple mustache "{{{}}}" (non-escaping) tags?
The "Fulltext search unavailable" error page is now generated using the
static/templates/error.html template. Also added two test cases checking
that error page.
404.html no longer contains anything specific to the 404 error and will
henceforth serve (with some enhancements) as a general purpose error
page template.
As we render the entry's xml in a separated steps, we need to pass the
rootLocation to all the internal rendering.
Testing with and without root is not so easy.
I've simply made all server tests using a ROOT prefix.
We can assume that if the ROOT is present everywhere we need it, it will not
when we don't need. (As long as we don't hardcode "ROOT" in the server.)
Before this fix the /random endpoint could return a 404 Not Found page
saying
The requested URL "/random" was not found on this server.
Error cases producing such a result were:
- `/random?content=NON-EXISTING-BOOK` (can happen when a server is
restarted or the library is reloaded and the current book is no longer
available).
- Failure of the libkiwix routine for picking a random article.
Now a proper message is shown for each of those cases.
