This commit adds the following:
- Storage of server groups in the configuration database
- Creation of a default server group on in the database
- A mechanism for plugging in treeview node types
- A node type for server groups with:
- Treeview display
- Custom per-node javascript implementing a menu option/dialogue to add new groups
- Custom per-node CSS to style the treeview node
- JSON formatted data in response to AJAX requests, including:
- Success/failure indication
- Error message
- Extra info (e.g. stack trace)
- The original request data
- Additional return data, e.g. node ID and label etc.
Still needs some work to:
- Minimise AJAX calls by writing multiple settings at once.
- Move the settings storage/retrieval JS code into a global file
- Avoid using synchronous AJAX calls in the main thread
This adds bootstrap-dialog to help with creation of nice dialogs,
and adds the ability for modules to render Javascript into the
browser, and specify onclick handlers in the menu system.
Also add a basic About dialog, using the new infrastructure and
showing some useful info about the application.
Modules may now include functions that return lists of menu items
that will be included on the main browser window menu. While we're
at it, move the test views into a separate module.
This uses a single default user in the config database, which is
auto-logged into the app when SERVER_MODE = False. In this mode we
also hide/remove user-related functions in the UI.
A user authentication module based on flask-security is added, which
allows users to login and change/recover passwords etc. Custom templates
are included for the user/password UIs.
A new setup script will initialise the user (and later settings) DB,
adding the first user and granting them an Administrator role.
A redirects blueprint module is added to handle simple URL redirects.
A browser module is added and currently renders a skeleton page with
a menu bar, gravatar and jumbotron.
NOTE FOR LATER: Currently this code might make the nice basis for any
web app that needs user management and plugins. Hmmm....
