Didn't know what that was untill now, thanks for the suggestion i'll definitely be looking into it

Its used to run tests every time a pull request is submitted if the test passes that means the pull request will not interfere with the rest of your code, CodeCov is used to determine how much of your project is being test. The higher percentage the better. So if your project fails you can locate the error with the tests meaning Travis will tell you what part of your code is failing without downloading the whole project to your computer and hand testing them yourself.

(Older sources have been moved to other branches.)
​

New Objective
Flask, as fast as you can. Finish intended features.


Committed changes (after reset)

• gzip support (flask compress)
• pymysql wrapper rewrite
• jinja2 caching
• removed automatic controller imports in favor of fixed/static routes (see
  You must be registered for see links
  )
• complete rewrite of structure
• live demo available at
  You must be registered for see links

Agenda

1. restore admin panel from old branches for rewrite
2. finish cms/server management in admin panel
3. add json db support (probably going to be rethinkdb)
4. further improve speed and lower footprint
   
5. re-create a first-time config generator

Great to see this being picked up again. Surely one of the most promising things we've had here.

Any suggestions on a simple barebone lightweight admin panel theme? Currently using

You must be registered for see links

as a base, has to be mobile friendly.
I want to avoid themes that rely on view/js libraries, something simple with maybe 3 css & >3 js requests max. I chose the theme above because it just uses jquery and bootstrap.

I might just stick with the theme above though, it's really light and serves as a good starting point for what i need. i can do all the styling myself.
 

Committed changes (Jan, 1, 2018)

• Started html editor (see

will be using this for client side:

Progress (Not committed yet, Jan 2 2018)
After a bunch of headaches trying to get

to stay responsive, i resorted to using a javascript resize script i found on the web:

It's alot more sane to work with, you can just adjust the editor based on your own preference since i cba fixing it for every screen.

is stubborn as shit.

The border color will change eventually obviously, i'm just glad i have it working now.

The python code has been waiting for me to come back to it for awhile, ace is what was taking all of my time recently.

Fininished a good ammount of work on the dashboard:

 
Everything in this past thread has

Also, live demo updated to current repo

try tampering with the login

• html editor class is now a general "contentmanagement" class (see

• Added "contentmanager" controller (see
  You must be registered for see links
  )
• Added "contentmanager" handle to handlers (see
  You must be registered for see links
  )
• Renamed database.py to mysql.py in hope for future mongodb integration (See
  You must be registered for see links
  )
• Ace editor fully integrated (biggest pain in the ass ever) (see
  You must be registered for see links
  )
• Login model added (see
  You must be registered for see links
  )
• Dashboard progression, content count and config settings (see

• Added mysqldb.sql with `users` table and default user included. (tr4-admin : password)
• Confirmed to be working cross platform. (tested on redhat & win10)

If you really want something lightweight, get a React.js theme and not jQuery. jQuery is much more intense and takes more time rendering due to all the work done in the DOM. React.js is, as far as I remember from tests, almost two times as fast as jQuery based themes.

@griimnak drop me a PM I got a React template you can use.
The codebase is not exactly clean or up to date, but for your purpose it's fine and there follows a documentation which explains all the components and elements available etc.

Thing is React will be handling all routing so you don't have to do it through Python, but all you gotta do is point every entrance ('/admin/*') to a index.html file requiring the initial bundled React file.

Thank you for the info, I'm really outdated on frontend, i was still tkinking jquery is the go-to lol.
I'll be looking at Marcus's react theme for possible integration, flask might not play nicely with react, but i presume it should..

Like how the project is coming along. You should look into adding

You can use them both, sodium acts as a wrapper. If you prefer one i would go with sodium as sodium is a modern cryptography library that offers authenticated encryption, high-speed elliptic curve cryptography, and much more. Unlike other cryptography standards (which are a potluck of cryptography primitives; i.e. WebCrypto), sodium is comprised of carefully selected algorithms implemented by security experts to avoid side-channel vulnerabilities.

Removing frontend js libraries
And I think I mad my mind on the admin template. I'm not gonna use jquery or react, i'm gonna go vanilla js
Flask actually plays really well with react, it'd be a wicked idea but not suitable for what i want to achieve, it's too many libraries and kinda goes against the philosophy of trinity.

Why?
Because it's too much libraries. I don't want to require my user to have to install npm yarn etc. Even jQuery is gonna go, we're going vanilla in this bih.

Damn, you have a whole 4 n1ggers

OT Good job man, didn’t realize you were still developing this project.

Threw up a youtube video of the admin theme's current state, i'm actually somewhat proud.
Looking rather clean if I was to say so myself

here's a look at the vanilla js behind it:

console.log is only debugging purpose, it'll be removed later on.

You could write the JS like you would do in React, first render, actions for http server requests (ajax), components if you're handling CSS, events and so on, and maybe a way to wrap them all into having the user object etc like dependency injection.
Could make the coding structure look way more neat, since I assume you're gonna have a lot vanilla JS.

Then you could use a bundler like Webpack to have ES6.

Just a thought
If you want I could help you out

to use react you have to do routing on the client though don't you? i wanna keep the routing in flask, basically only using javascript for dom manipulation

I'm not talking about routing. Just how the coding structure is in React / Redux and OOP in general e.g like many does it in PHP
