Third loop fix in the same /admin/login → /admin/dashboard → /admin/login
pattern as #355 and #363. Reported on v3.39.1-beta.0 — the loop returns
after a server restart or after an idle gap longer than the configured
session timeout.
## Root cause (server)
`sessionTimeoutMiddleware` is mounted on `/api/admin` (server.js:411). It
rejects with `401 SESSION_TIMEOUT` when either:
- the in-memory `lastActivity` for the token is older than the timeout, or
- this is the first request with this token AND the token's `iat` is
older than the timeout (post-restart guard).
`/auth/session` lives under `/api/auth/session`, NOT under `/api/admin`,
so the middleware never runs for it. Result: an idle/old-iat admin token
returns `valid: true` from `/auth/session` while every protected
endpoint immediately rejects it with `401 SESSION_TIMEOUT`. Frontend's
401 interceptor hard-redirects to `/admin/login`, `/auth/session` says
valid again, loop closes — exact same shape as the previous two
asymmetries the symmetry pass missed.
Fix: add a non-mutating `isSessionExpired(token, decoded)` helper to
`middleware/sessionTimeout.js` that reads the same in-memory map and
applies the same lastActivity / iat-vs-timeout logic as the middleware,
without updating the map (the middleware is the only place that records
activity; `/auth/session` is read-only by design). `/auth/session`
calls the helper for `decoded.type === 'admin'` after the existing
admin-existence and password-change checks. Same try/catch fall-through
pattern as the prior fixes so a missing/broken helper doesn't fail-closed
during early bootstrap or in test stubs.
## Root cause (client race amplifying the loop)
Even with the server fix, the previous `useSessionTimeout` hook called
`AdminAuthContext.logout()` which dispatches `POST /auth/logout`
fire-and-forget AND has its own `finally { window.location.href }`,
then immediately set `window.location.href = '/admin/login?session=expired'`
on top. Two consequences:
- The cookie wasn't reliably cleared before the new page loaded —
if any /auth/session asymmetry slipped through, the loop replayed
inside the same tab. New-tab and "refresh several times" "fixes"
were just the logout request eventually completing.
- Two redirects raced; sometimes the `?session=expired` query was
dropped, breaking the login-page toast.
Fix: rewrite the hook to (a) await `POST /auth/logout` so the cookie
is guaranteed cleared, (b) clear `sessionStorage.admin_user` directly
instead of going through AdminAuthContext.logout (which has the
side-effect redirect we don't want), and (c) navigate exactly once
with the `?session=expired` query.
## Tests
- `__tests__/routes/authSession.symmetry.test.js` — 4 new cases under
a `session-timeout symmetry` describe block: helper says expired →
valid:false; helper says active → valid:true; helper not called for
gallery tokens; helper throws → fall through to valid:true (defensive).
Existing 9 tests still pass (mock now includes
`isSessionExpired: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve(false))` as the
default).
- `__tests__/middleware/sessionTimeout.isSessionExpired.test.js` — 7
new unit tests for the helper itself: fresh token / old-iat /
recently-active / null-input / no-mutation / 60-min default
boundary cases.
20 cases total, all green. Lint clean on every touched file.
Adds the bulk-delete half of #384 — admins can select multiple
events from the list and delete them in one batch, gated by
re-entering their password.
## Why password confirmation
Bulk delete is destructive and irreversible (cascades across 5 DB
tables and 3 filesystem paths per event). Re-entering the password
matches the pattern already used by /auth/admin/change-password and
makes accidental clicks much harder than a plain "type DELETE to
confirm" — the muscle-memory required to type your real password is
a stronger gate than typing a literal word.
## Changes
### Backend (adminEvents.js)
- Extracted the per-event cascade-delete logic into a module-private
`deleteEventCascade(eventId, adminContext)` helper. The DELETE /:id
route now calls it instead of inlining 60 lines of cascade — same
behaviour, no drift between the per-event and bulk paths.
- New `POST /admin/events/bulk-delete`. Body: `{ eventIds, password }`.
Permission: `events.delete`.
- Validates `eventIds` array length (1–100) and that each id is an
integer. The 100-cap keeps request time bounded; the per-event
cascade touches DB + filesystem so 1000 events at once would risk
timing out the request.
- Verifies `password` against the calling admin's bcrypt hash via
`bcrypt.compare()` (same as /auth/admin/change-password). Wrong
password → 401 `{ error, code: 'INVALID_PASSWORD' }` and no
events are touched.
- Loops via `deleteEventCascade`, returns
`{ results: { successful, failed } }` with the same shape as
/bulk-archive so the frontend can show partial-failure feedback.
- Logs `bulk_delete_completed` activity with totals.
### Frontend
- `events.service.ts`: `bulkDeleteEvents(eventIds, password)`.
- New `BulkDeleteModal.tsx`. Red/destructive variant of the
bulk-archive modal:
- Lists the events to be deleted (so the admin can verify).
- Password input with show/hide toggle, autofocus, Enter-to-submit.
- Inline `passwordError` prop surfaces the 401 INVALID_PASSWORD
response without losing the modal state — admin can retry
without re-typing the event list.
- "Processing" state replaces the form with a spinner + "Deleting
N events. This may take a few minutes — please don't close this
window." (i18n) so admins know not to abandon the page during
a slow operation.
- `EventsListPage.tsx`: "Delete Selected" button next to "Archive
Selected" in the bulk-actions bar (red-styled to signal danger),
bulkDeleteMutation that maps the 401 to the modal's inline error
and any other failure to a generic toast.
### i18n
12 new keys under `events.bulkDelete.*` in all 5 locales
(en/de/nl/pt/ru): title, warning, password label/placeholder/help,
submit, processing, incorrectPassword, successAll, successPartial,
errorGeneric, plus `events.deleteSelected` for the button. Hand-
written for de; nl/pt/ru should get a native-speaker pass at some
point but read naturally.
### Verified
- `npx tsc --noEmit` clean
- `npx eslint` clean on every touched file (4 pre-existing errors in
adminEvents.js for unused vars unrelated to this PR)
- All 5 locale JSON files parse cleanly
- `node -e "require('./src/routes/adminEvents')"` loads the module
Closes the bulk-delete half of #384. The Photos-column half lands
separately in PR #387.
The admin events table didn't surface how many photos each event
contained — admins had to click into the event to find out. The
backend already computes `photo_count` for every row in the
GET /admin/events list response (adminEvents.js:794-796), so this
is a frontend-only display change.
- Insert a "Photos" column between Date and Status — groups with
the "what's in this event" info.
- Right-aligned, tabular-nums for clean numeric alignment in the
column.
- Reuses the existing `events.photos` i18n key already shipped in
all 5 locales for the EventDetailsPage tab list ("Fotos" / etc.) —
no new translations needed.
- Updates the empty-state colSpan from 7 to 8.
Closes the column-add half of #384. The bulk-delete request from
the same issue lands separately.
Follow-up to PR #378 — drops the (e: any) / (d: any) casts in the
external-folder-tree picker. ExternalEntry is already exported from
externalMedia.service.ts; the call site just wasn't using it.
- Import the type alongside the service.
- Annotate the dirs filter callback so `e.type` is the union 'dir' |
'file' instead of any.
- Drop the (d: any) annotation from the map — TypeScript infers
ExternalEntry from the typed `dirs` array.
No behaviour change, no test impact. `npx tsc --noEmit` clean,
`npx eslint` clean.
Two follow-ups to PR #372 (external-URL toggle for imprint /
privacy CMS pages):
1. **i18n.** PR #372 added 6 new `cms.*` keys to the en + de
locales but the project ships 5 locales total. Adds the missing
nl / pt / ru translations so the admin CMS page renders in the
active language for those users instead of falling back to
English literals next to the German/Dutch/Portuguese/Russian
surrounding strings.
2. **API shape.** `publicCMS.js` returned `external_url`
unconditionally — even when `use_external_url` is false the URL
value was still emitted in the public response. The frontend
correctly gated on both flags so it worked, but the API surface
was leaking a value the admin had explicitly disabled. The
value still lives in the DB (so the toggle can be flipped back
on without losing it), but the public endpoint now returns
`null` whenever the toggle is off.
Note: kept the existing `logo_url` shape unchanged. Its semantics
are different — null means "fall back to global branding" and
consumers rely on always having the field, so emitting it
unconditionally is intentional there.
No frontend change needed: both `GalleryLayout` and `LegalPage`
already gate on `use_external_url && external_url`, so the
short-circuit handles `external_url: null` correctly.
The rebuilt modal in this PR shipped with hard-coded English strings.
That made the reset flow untranslated for German/Dutch/Portuguese/
Russian customers — toasts, confirm dialog, success screen all
fell back to English regardless of the active locale.
- New `events.passwordReset.*` namespace in en/de/nl/pt/ru with 22
keys covering both modal screens, the warning banner, validation
errors, and the toast messages.
- Modal uses `useTranslation()` for every previously hard-coded
string. Reuses `common.cancel`, `events.copy`, `events.copied`
where they already exist across all locales.
- The {{eventName}} interpolation uses i18next's standard variable
syntax so the description line reads naturally in each language.
No behaviour change. TypeScript clean (`npx tsc --noEmit`), ESLint
clean. JSON validity checked for all 5 locale files.
