- #194: Send full date format object instead of just format string to prevent JSON parse errors
- #195: Remove non-functional forgot password link, fix README port 3005 -> 3000
- #196: Use ADMIN_PASSWORD env var in migration, update existing user in create-admin script instead of failing
- #197: Convert camelCase filter keys to snake_case in photo export to match backend PhotoFilterBuilder
When expires_at is null (no expiration), the status logic defaulted
days to 0, causing all non-expiring events to display as "Expired".
Now returns "Active" immediately when there is no expiration date.
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.

UI/UX Improvements:
- Consistent dark mode styling across all admin pages
- Update gallery components with themed CSS classes
- Fix input, card, and button styling for dark mode
Update ghost button variant to use proper dark mode colors:
- Add dark:hover:bg-neutral-700 for hover state
- Add dark:text-neutral-300 for better icon/text visibility
- Fixes too-dark edit and view gallery buttons in Events table
- Update .card class to use explicit Tailwind colors instead of CSS
variables, preventing gallery theme from affecting admin UI
- Add .card-themed and .input-themed classes for gallery components
that need to use theme CSS variables
- Add dark mode support to CardHeader and CardFooter components

- Show specific failing password requirement instead of generic error
when password validation fails on AcceptInvitePage (#170)
- Add inline Edit and View Gallery buttons to events table (#171)
- Make event table rows clickable to navigate to details (#171)
- Keep context menu for less common actions (Archive, Delete)
- Add responsive design: inline buttons hidden on mobile
- Add Gallery Premium layout: elegant light theme with masonry grid,
hero section, sticky navigation, and integrated lightbox
- Add Gallery Story layout: cinematic dark theme with scene-based
sections, carousels, and gold accents
- Implement full-page layout support: bypass standard header/footer/
sidebar for immersive experience
- Add logout button to both layouts for authenticated galleries
- Mark both layouts as (Beta) in theme editor and layout selectors
- Fix hero title color visibility in Gallery Premium layout
- Add distinct rendering branches for minimal and none header styles in
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
The frontend never sent header_style/hero_divider_style as separate
fields when creating or updating events, so the database columns always
kept their default value of 'standard' — making the hero header
impossible to enable through the admin UI.
- Extract headerStyle/heroDividerStyle from theme config and include in
create and update payloads (CreateEventPage, EventDetailsPage)
- Add backend fallback to extract values from color_theme JSON when not
explicitly provided, ensuring older clients stay in sync
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
- Divider options now properly show/hide when switching header styles
This ensures the live preview accurately reflects hero header changes
and event-specific header styles are respected in the gallery view.
- Add try-catch and file existence check for photo path resolution (#161)
- Fix gallery categories to use photo_categories table instead of legacy type field (#156)
- Add byte-size-based chunking (500MB max) for uploads to prevent oversized batches (#155)
- Add separate header_style setting (hero/standard/minimal/none) that can
be combined with any layout type (grid/masonry/carousel/timeline/mosaic)
- Create HeroHeader and HeroDivider components for reusable hero section
- Add hero_divider_style setting (wave/straight/angle/curve/none)
- Add database migration for header_style and hero_divider_style columns
- Remove deprecated HeroGalleryLayout component
- Fix various TypeScript errors across the codebase:
- Add missing type properties (css_template_id, updatedAt, justified settings)
- Fix null handling for event_date and expires_at fields
- Fix translation function calls and i18n config
- Remove unused imports and variables
- Increase nginx client_max_body_size from 100MB to 1GB for video support
- Fix admin photo category filtering to properly handle numeric category IDs
from the photo_categories table, not just legacy 'individual'/'collage' types
- Add support for 'uncategorized' filter to show photos with no category
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.
