Add a "richtext" class to anything which contains text rendered
by our rich text library, and move styles which were only being
applied to diary entries to apply to all rich text.
I set out to do a quick and dirty typography overhaul to make things
more consistent and a bit cleaner, but I kept running into things I
didn't like, so this lead me down something of a rabbit hole of design
tweaks to the OSM site.
Goals here are to have better content hierarchy, better vertical
rhythm, more consistent UI, cleaner markup with less tables, all while
keeping the basics pretty much intact. There are a lot of things I
didn't touch even though they need to be updated (lots of tables where
stuff shouldn't be tables, mostly).
Basic overview of changes:
I added a new persistent header that helps segment pages. It's now
a lot easier to know what you're looking at. The header has a page
title, a description, plus a submenu of actions.
There is now a pattern of 20px/10px margins and padding for more
rhythm and breathing room throughout the site.
I know there are other problems here or things I've missed - would
love another set of eyes to look over this! I am still getting comfortable
working on the site - it's my first time ever digging into a ruby or rails
so I'm not familiar with the templating language yet.
dates and times on the web site.
Also try and improve formatting of message pages a but, and include the
image of the recipient when viewing a sent message.
When someone went to /message/new/:user the "Subject" are would be
pre-filled out with t('message.new.title'). The problem was that the
@title template variable was being used for two purposes, to set the
HTML <title> AND to pre-fill out the subject.
We don't always want these two to be the same, but sometimes we
do. E.g. when someone replies to a diary entry and visits
/message/new/:user?title=Foo we want Foo in the <title> and in the
pre-filled out Subject, and the same goes for replying to a message.
So I've split up the @title variable into @title and @subject.
The following pages now have a <title> that can be set in localizations:
* /user/USER_DOES_NOT_EXIST
* /user/USER_DOES_NOT_EXIST/diary
* /user/USER_DOES_NOT_EXIST/traces
* /message/*/ID_DOES_NOT_EXIST
In addition I've cleaned up the i18n message keys of all the
''no_such_user.rhtml'' pages involved. They now all use
title/heading/body for the <title>, <h2> and <p> respectively. And the
message key {{user}} instead of {{name}}.
no effect as there is no such attribute defined, but Opera seems to
decide that it should post the form to that URL instead of the one
give on the form element.
