Replace the legacy section-based policy editor with a flexible block-based system. This transition enables real-time previews, a wider variety of content types (headings, quotes, callouts), and improved data normalization.
- Implement `policies-block-editor.js` for dynamic content management
- Add `normalizePoliciesDocument` and `validateContent` utilities to handle data migration and integrity
- Update `policiesController.js` to support the new block structure and validation logic
- Migrate `policies.json` from `sections` array to a `content.blocks` structure
- Remove obsolete section editor views and partials
- Update `policiesConfig.js` to reflect the new editor capabilities
Refactor tuition data from a simple numeric array to a structured object
containing time labels and values. This allows for more flexible
charting and precise data entry in the CMS.
- Add `normalizeTuition`, `normalizeTuitionSeries`, and `normalizeTuitionPoint` to `admissionsController.js`
- Update `admissionsConfig.js` to use `objectList` for tuition data points instead of `stringList`
- Migrate existing tuition data in `admissions.json` to the new structured format
- Fix duplicate text in `admissions.json` grant amounts and descriptions
Improve the CMS administration interface across multiple pages (Accreditation, Admissions, History, Partnerships, and Policies) with a focus on usability and data integrity.
Key changes include:
- Implement `ensureUniqueIds` utility to automatically generate and maintain unique slugs for content items, removing the need for manual ID entry in the UI.
- Refactor the Admissions calculator to support detailed per-option editing via a new dedicated view and routes.
- Replace basic datalists with a custom, searchable icon combobox component for better visual selection.
- Update `_renderSingletonPageView` to handle active tab persistence via query parameters.
- Streamline editor configurations by removing redundant fields and improving help text.
- Enhance the Admissions "Key Dates" editor with a dynamic table interface for managing columns and rows.
- Normalize data payloads in controllers to ensure consistent API responses and internal linking.
Refactor the CMS page content system to use a more modular configuration-driven approach. This replaces the monolithic `pageContentConfig.js` with individual configuration files for each page and introduces a shared field utility to standardize editor components.
Key changes:
- Implement a generic `_renderSingletonPageView` helper to reduce duplication across controllers.
- Enhance `_createPageContentController` with `normalizeForEditor`, `normalizeForApi`, and `preparePayload` hooks for custom data transformation.
- Create dedicated configuration and view structures for Partnerships, History, Accreditation, Admissions, and Policies pages.
- Add a specialized section editor for Policies to manage complex nested content.
- Improve the frontend `page-content-editor.js` with support for visibility logic, auto-sequencing for arrays, and URL synchronization for active tabs.
- Update data JSON files to align with the new schema.
- Add Programme Mongoose model with sub-schemas and migrateFromJson static method
- Add programme CRUD controller with audit logging and icon sanitization
- Add programme admin views (index, edit) with tabbed form and dynamic arrays
- Add seed migration script for programmes
- Add /api/programmes and /api/programmes/:id public API endpoints
- Register programme routes in admin and public router
- Update dashboard with Programmes card and API endpoint entries
- Update admin sidebar layout to include Programmes nav link
Implement a singleton page content system to manage static informational pages. This includes:
- New controllers, models, and data files for Partnerships, History, Accreditation, Admissions, and Policies.
- Admin routes and views for updating page content.
- Public API endpoints for fetching page data.
- Migration scripts for initializing page data.
- Updated admin navigation layout to include a dropdown for "About" sections.
- Audit action constants for tracking updates to these pages.
