- Add photo dimension repair endpoint and admin UI (#180)
- Add E2E tests for all three fixes
Users behind Cloudflare Tunnel and other reverse proxies cannot upload
batches >100MB. The upload chunking previously used a hardcoded 500MB
limit. This adds a configurable `max_upload_batch_size_mb` setting
(default 95MB) to the admin General settings, leaving headroom below
Cloudflare's 100MB limit.
The "Allowed File Types" admin setting was stored in the database but
never actually read during upload validation. Both frontend and backend
used hardcoded MIME type lists, causing video uploads (e.g. MP4) to be
rejected even when explicitly added to the setting.
Changes:
- Add getAllowedMimeTypes() to uploadSettings service that reads the
general_allowed_file_types DB setting and converts extensions to MIME types
- Backend admin upload route now resolves allowed types from settings
before multer processes files (via resolveAllowedTypes middleware)
- Backend gallery upload route uses dynamic allowed types from settings
- Expose allowed_file_types in public settings API for gallery clients
- Frontend PhotoUpload and UserPhotoUpload components now derive allowed
MIME types from settings instead of hardcoded image-only lists
- Add shared fileTypes.ts utility for extension-to-MIME conversion

Surface the existing original_filename from the database in the admin
photo grid hover overlay and photo viewer sidebar, so photographers can
correlate uploaded images with their Lightroom/disk originals. Only shown
when it differs from the system-generated filename. Gallery guests remain
unaffected.

GalleryLayout (grid and non-grid), skipping the colored banner/wave
divider for both
- Cap hero section height at 700px via max-h to prevent it dominating
ultra-wide viewports
- Watch selectedCategoryId in GalleryView and swap the hero photo to
the category's hero_photo_id when filtering, reverting to the event
default when cleared
- Add minimal/none preview branches in GalleryPreview so the admin
theme editor shows visually distinct previews for all four styles
- Remove unused AdminPhoto import that was blocking the build
- Add Playwright e2e tests covering all four header styles, hero max
height, and category hero switching
Wire up the hero_photo_id column on photo_categories that was added in
the migration but never connected. Backend routes now accept and persist
hero_photo_id on category create/update, a dedicated PUT /:id/hero
endpoint is added, and the gallery API returns hero_photo_id for each
category. Frontend EventCategoryManager shows a clickable thumbnail per
category that opens a photo picker modal. Includes EN/DE i18n keys.
Add missing i18n translations for hero image focal point picker in both
EN and DE locales. Fix lint errors across touched files: remove unused
imports/variables, replace raw buttons with shared Button component,
eliminate inline styles, extract duplicated backend validation, and
remove dead heroImagePosition type.
Add interactive focal point picker for hero images, allowing precise
crop positioning via click or preset buttons (top/center/bottom).
Includes backend validation, migrations, and gallery rendering support.
- Add hero header rendering to GalleryPreview component with divider styles
- Support event-specific header_style prop in GalleryLayout
- Pass header_style from event data to GalleryLayout in GalleryView

- Fix null handling for event_date and expires_at fields
- Fix translation function calls and i18n config
- Remove unused imports and variables
Thumbnails are generated as 300x300 squares, so CSS Columns alone
couldn't show varied aspect ratios. Now using the photo's width/height
metadata with CSS aspect-ratio property to force correct proportions.
Replaced CSS Grid with span rules approach with CSS Columns to eliminate
gaps and white spaces in the mosaic layout. Images now flow vertically
within columns, maintaining their natural aspect ratios without gaps.
- Add migration to backfill width/height for existing photos without dimensions
- Replace justified masonry mode with quilted layout (mixed sizes based on aspect ratio)
- Rewrite mosaic layout to use proper CSS Grid with span rules
- Fix theme not being applied after gallery login
- Improve columns mode distribution using shortest-column algorithm
- Apply gallery theme regardless of authentication status
Previously, the Pinterest-style columns mode assigned random heights to
photos, causing landscape images to be cropped into portrait slots.
Now the height is calculated based on the photo's actual aspect ratio
and the column width, preserving natural proportions.
- Add Flickr justified-layout and react-photo-album as masonry mode options
- Implement aspect-ratio-aware mosaic layout that dynamically selects
patterns based on photo orientations to minimize cropping
- Add 9 mosaic pattern types optimized for different orientation combinations
- Add theme customizer options for masonry mode selection (columns/rows/flickr/justified)
- Add i18n translations for new layout options
Add Google Photos-style justified row layout as a mode within masonry:
- Add masonryMode setting: 'columns' (Pinterest) or 'rows' (Google Photos)
- Create justifiedLayoutCalculator utility for row-based layouts
- Extract and store image dimensions on upload for layout calculations
- Include width/height in gallery API response
- Add row height and last row behavior controls to theme customizer
- Support responsive container width detection with ResizeObserver
Photos in rows mode maintain their aspect ratios while filling
horizontal rows at a consistent height. The number of photos per
row is automatically calculated based on target row height and
photo dimensions.
Closes#146
Add event-level custom logo upload/delete endpoints and UI, allowing
per-event logos to override the global branding logo in gallery views.
Also fixes several bugs discovered during testing:
- fix: category_id 'individual' parsed as NaN causing photo upload failures
- fix: gallery auth race condition where photos query fired before token stored
- fix: gallery-photos query not invalidated after favorite/like mutations
- fix: e2e test race conditions with View Gallery button detachment
Add null checks for expires_at and event_date fields to prevent
TypeError when calling parseISO() on null values. This fixes crashes
that occurred after making event dates optional.
- AdminDashboard: skip events with null expires_at in expiring filter
- GalleryPage: handle null expires_at in expiration calculation
- GalleryView: make daysUntilExpiration nullable with explicit checks
- EventDetailsPage: return null from safeParseDate for null inputs
Add configurable hero logo settings for individual events:
- Logo visibility toggle (show/hide in hero section)
- Logo size options (small, medium, large, xlarge)

Frontend:
- Add EventTypesPage with full CRUD admin interface
- Add eventTypes.service.ts API client
- Update CreateEventPage to fetch types dynamically
- Add Event Types navigation in admin sidebar
- Add i18n translations (EN/DE)
Backward compatible: existing galleries continue to work, legacy types
accepted even if database is empty via fallback mechanisms.
The ThemeCustomizerEnhanced component stored customCss in a separate
local state that was never propagated to the parent component when
hideActions was true (used in both CreateEventPage and EventDetailsPage).
Changes:
- handleChange() now includes customCss when propagating theme changes
- CSS textarea onChange now propagates customCss to parent in preview mode
- handlePresetSelect() clears customCss when selecting a preset
