Improve aesthetics and reusability of HTML templates #13652

germain-gg · 2022-08-27T09:38:20Z

This pull request solves two issues:

Reusability and consistency of the HTML templates, by moving parts of the HTML to fragments. The folder structure changed slightly and those includes are moved to the fragments/ folder
Adds some very basic styling to the HTML template, inspiration taken from https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/blob/develop/src/vector/static/incompatible-browser.html

This does not pretend to solve every single problems with templates. Customisations of these pages is intentionally left out, as I was focusing on bringing some more solid foundations to these templates to allow easier iterations

@gsouquet Looks like this has some test failures!

+Improve aesthetics of HTML templates.


This seems to have pretty big backwards compatibility ramifications (if someone customized their templates). I think we at least need to leave some upgrade notes?

I believe that way I've done this now isn't backwards incompatible (if someone has custom templates they'll still continue working fine).

DMRobertson

Looks great! However:

there are failing tests, e.g.

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/runner/work/synapse/synapse/tests/rest/client/test_auth.py", line 555, in test_ui_auth_fails_for_incorrect_sso_user
    channel = self.helper.auth_via_oidc(
  File "/home/runner/work/synapse/synapse/tests/rest/client/utils.py", line 626, in auth_via_oidc
    oauth_uri = self.initiate_sso_ui_auth(ui_auth_session_id, cookies)
  File "/home/runner/work/synapse/synapse/tests/rest/client/utils.py", line 793, in initiate_sso_ui_auth
    assert channel.code == HTTPStatus.OK, channel.text_body
builtins.AssertionError: {"errcode":"M_UNKNOWN","error":"Internal server error"}

tests.rest.client.test_auth.UIAuthTests.test_ui_auth_fails_for_incorrect_sso_user

as Patrick says, we should mention the file renames in the upgrade notes, and explain what admins need to do if they've customised these templates.

(I'm likely going to take this over from @gsouquet when I have time.)

@DMRobertson Mind taking another look? The diff is fairly awful unless you remove whitespace.

Any thoughts if we want to update any docs?

DMRobertson

Looks great! A couple of things to check though:

Should these all be https://?

I was just leaving them how they are today... 🤷

DMRobertson · 2022-10-20T21:44:13Z

Any thoughts if we want to update any docs?

Sorry, I didn't see this. I couldn't see much in the docs for this: I think the relevant bits are

synapse/docs/templates.md

Line 114 in b71b41c

## HTML page templates for registration and password reset

It might be worth pointing out there is a new _base.html, which can be replaced if admins want to change the general look and feel? Otherwise I think the examples given should be fairly self-explanatory.

Only other question: should we mention this in the upgrade notes? I think not: it's backwards compatible, no action is required. Maybe add an extra sentence to the changelog like: "These changes do not apply to override templates customised by server admins."?

@DMRobertson I think this is back to you.

DMRobertson

I think we agree this doesn't need to be in the upgrade notes. Not sure if the changelog suggestion is overkill, I'll leave that to your discretion.

Otherwise LGTM.

Synapse 1.71.0 (2022-11-08) =========================== Please note that, as announced in the release notes for Synapse 1.69.0, legacy Prometheus metric names are now disabled by default. They will be removed altogether in Synapse 1.73.0. If not already done, server administrators should update their dashboards and alerting rules to avoid using the deprecated metric names. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/v1.71/upgrade.html#upgrading-to-v1710) for more details. **Note:** in line with our [deprecation policy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/deprecation_policy.html) for platform dependencies, this will be the last release to support PostgreSQL 10, which reaches upstream end-of-life on November 10th, 2022. Future releases of Synapse will require PostgreSQL 11+. Features -------- - Support back-channel logouts from OpenID Connect providers. ([\#11414](matrix-org/synapse#11414)) - Allow use of Postgres and SQLlite full-text search operators in search queries. ([\#11635](matrix-org/synapse#11635), [\#14310](matrix-org/synapse#14310), [\#14311](matrix-org/synapse#14311)) - Implement [MSC3664](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#3664), Pushrules for relations. Contributed by Nico. ([\#11804](matrix-org/synapse#11804)) - Improve aesthetics of HTML templates. Note that these changes do not retroactively apply to templates which have been [customised](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/templates.html#templates) by server admins. ([\#13652](matrix-org/synapse#13652)) - Enable write-ahead logging for SQLite installations. Contributed by [@asymmetric](https://github.com/asymmetric). ([\#13897](matrix-org/synapse#13897)) - Show erasure status when [listing users](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/admin_api/user_admin_api.html#query-user-account) in the Admin API. ([\#14205](matrix-org/synapse#14205)) - Provide a specific error code when a `/sync` request provides a filter which doesn't represent a JSON object. ([\#14262](matrix-org/synapse#14262))

Fixes #14421. Broke in #13652.
