Weekly Vusfy update #23

Hello everyone,

How are you? As always, it is a pleasure to have you here. Welcome to the 23rd instalment of the Weekly Vusfy progress updates.

Update dependencies

Some of you may wonder why this section keeps appearing, week in and week out. “Will it ever stop?” you may be thinking.

In the future, I may reduce the frequency of the dependencies updates. If I ever stop updating the dependencies, it means I have stopped working on Vusfy. Vusfy is an application you access through the Internet. It is imperative I keep its dependencies up to date, to stay on top of all the security issues that come to light.

Granted, some of these updates may unwittingly introduce security issues of their own. This, however, should not deter anyone from updating their software. There are some cases when you may not want to update, at all, but these are the exception to the general practice.

Fix the happenings link in the calendar for mobile devices

When you are looking at the calendar, if there are happenings in any of the dates for the month, you will see a link, for the specific day, to view said happenings.

On desktop, the date cell looks fine. You have the date on one line, and the link on another line. On mobile, the date cell looks wrong. You have the date and the link on the same line, which is not my intention.

Now, on mobile, the date in one line, and link is on the next line. Just like on desktop.

Improve filling a gap for goal occurrences

You are looking at the list of goal occurrences for a goal. This list has a gap, which you want to fill, so you click on the link. In the page you are seeing, you can now set the title and description for all your occurrences.

I have also introduced improvements around the values for the start date and end date:

• You are trying to set the start date to 23 August 2024, and the end date to 22 August 2024. When you click the button to create the occurrences, the action fails and Vusfy shows an error at the top of the page. This is because the start date must be set to a date <= (less or equal) the end date. E.g. setting the start date to 22 August 2024 and the end date to 23 August 2024 is acceptable;
• Imagine today is 25 August 2024. If you set the end date to the future (e.g. 26 August 2024), the action fails and Vusfy shows an error at the top of the page. This is because creating occurrences set in the future is an explicit action, and you would be creating them implicitly. I am thinking of ways to allow setting the end date in the future, but this is an acceptable compromise for the first iteration.

Improve filling a gap for event occurrences

I am adapting this section from the one above that talks about goal occurrences.

You are looking at the list of event occurrences for an event. This list has a gap, which you want to fill, so you click on the link. In the page you are seeing, you can now set the title and description for all your occurrences.

I have also introduced improvements around the values for the start date and end date:

• You are trying to set the start date to 23 August 2024, and the end date to 22 August 2024. When you click the button to create the occurrences, the action fails and Vusfy shows an error at the top of the page. This is because the start date must be set to a date <= (less or equal) the end date. E.g. setting the start date to 22 August 2024 and the end date to 23 August 2024 is acceptable;
• Imagine today is 25 August 2024. If you set the end date to the future (e.g. 26 August 2024), the action fails and Vusfy shows an error at the top of the page. This is because creating occurrences set in the future is an explicit action, and you would be creating them implicitly. I am thinking of ways to allow setting the end date in the future, but this is an acceptable compromise for the first iteration.

Conclusion

Thank you for your time, and until we meet again, take care of yourselves.
