"what's missing" / next steps? (to launch!)

• [x] links from calendar - thanks @reyaw !!
• [x] go to top links - thanks @SwantjeM !!
• [X] pre-calendar & post-calendar blocks - thanks @SwantjeM !!
• [X] ~stripe subscription link~ (for now j just added in pre-calendar) -- that's good!! let's do that!
• [X] email subscription box -- did a minimal version
• [X] search -- did a minimal version! see this
• [x] menu similar to the current one
  • [x] as mentioned on the call (Nov 30) ->> a model that tracks human label (text) + a URL (just a url field, nothing fancy)
  • [x] THEN add the frontend --> for desktop and mobile, using html and css
  • [x] then......... add a position field/column? and an admin DIY tool to change the menu item positions....?? that's the hard part (and could be not tackled immediately)
• [x] change venue import to import the 'the' as a boolean
  • [x] by default, insert the 'the' -- check that the event template html uses that
• [x] ability to duplicate an event (as a top right button? as a save button but not using save_as since that would remove "save and add another"..?) – j checked off cuz you did it!!
• [x] ordering within same day/hour! see https://github.com/gregsadetsky/nycnoise/issues/101

GENERAL QUESTION FOR ANYONE (12/5/23)

if ppl know about SEO stuff, can someone confirm it won't fuck anything up for me to delete the 2024 pages currently on nyc noise (e.g., nyc-noise.com/2024-01/)? i've already added events for those pages thru django, that's what django's pulling up, & they aren't "records" cuz they haven't been used yet, but idk if it's bad to have them disappear from the sitemap since i want google to keep indexing them in the future...??

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

FULL STATIC PAGE CHECK –– i'll run this by greg shortly (12/5/23) greg did a great fix to make sure site can read different months (yayyy), but as a result django is no longer porting over pages it recognizes as "month" URLs, likely because it's trying to read dumb material (lol) in its new smart way––

ex. https://nycnoise.onrender.com/2020-03/ → nothing's there :'( https://nycnoise.onrender.com/2020-03-pre-covid/ → totally perfect!!!

my maybe dumb idea fix?? i love being able to access the old pages in their Original Form, the way e.g. https://nycnoise.onrender.com/2020-03-pre-covid/ shows up –– TRU ARCHIVE!!! –– but it would be awesome to eventually have everything be fully parse-able by the new system...

what if i renamed all the old-school / original versions (including november & december 2023, since those have full / ordered listings) to, e.g., nyc-noise.com/2020-03a/? they would all be ported over correctly, i can just update the past (https://nyc-noise.com/past/) pages with those links so people can go through the original archive, & down the road we can figure out how to make the system read the old pages so the original links show the right material. ...????

either way, i've made a spreadsheet of all the sitemap pages & what [i think] needs to be done... black checkmark column's for pages where all content's ported over to new system; green checkmark means there's no remaining cleanup / fixes needed. most are little things i can figure out on my own, e.g. bandcamp embeds, table of contents, etc.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

• [ ] validate that top URLs have been ported (greg if yr logged in go here)
• [ ] set up sitemap! (currently here)
• [ ] "django view cache" (thing greg said!!)
• [ ] "port over images from static pages"
• [x] rich text for date messages – ty greg!!
• [x] ~event end time?~ moved override for easy updates!
• [ ] more cherries & cashews & chocolate again hallock, yr snack game is lagging

–––––––––––––––––– DONE ––––––––––––––––––

LOWER PRIORITY

• [x] center dates while scrolling down page – ty greg!!
• [x] events page default to chronological order? (it keeps changing back idk) – ty greg wow the month thing is great :')
• [x] have mobile page automatically fit screen (for me, loads slightly oversized...?) – yayyy
• [x] ~"tix" links bold & black font, & parens not part of link so it's clear it's a different link? e.g. Jessica Moss & Bill Nace, Fia Fell (tix), using yr Imagination to pretend "tix" is a different color, instead of all one color Jessica Moss & Bill Nace, Fia Fell (tix) ?~ or instead WAY BETTER VERSION yeah!!

GLITCHES

• [x] 19:30 events showing as "7pm"? –– 12/8, "Madison Greenstone"+ @ dimenna center –– 12/9, bark culture etc @ cutelab; this one's more obvious cuz it shows up in the wrong order, with this one as "7pm" showing below a 7:30pm

MISC QS • backups? while i love how simple it is to have everything up in ready-to-edit boxes, i think part of my nervousness is that with everything right there, if i'm sleepy or not paying attention or whatever i can f*ck everything up in a heartbeat... any way to revert to earlier versions of a page, undo revisions, that sorta thing? • ~what happens to old events? current nyc noise has separate pages for each month & is organized chronologically; it's lots of stuff to juggle within a given month, but "contained"... if all events stay in the django thing forever, then even sorting by date won't help very soon... (realizing i prolly shouldn't have deleted the pile of earlier-in-november events, whoops, sry)~ – yayyy

DONE!

• [x] bullets before entries! :D (THANK YOUUUUUUU) -- thanks @SwantjeM !!
• [x] get more dried cherries (hallock) (for snacks)
• [x] MINOR COSMETICS: "description" text smaller; change color for main links (000080), MAP (993366), ACCESS (008080); make venue (name only) bold –– ty greg!!!
• [x] MOBILE: make top calendar clickable? (weirdly the december dates work for me, but not the dark blue nov visible-shortcuts...?) (n/m works now!!)

[SwantjeM]

I just opened a PR for "go to top links" so that can be ticked off when it's merged.

Also, does "bullets before entries" just mean that we want the event entries listed with a bullet point in front of each of them? if so, I've changed the index.html to display event entries as an unordered list. I'll make another small PR for it, let me know if that is not what we're trying to do.
