The Acknowledgments block had a generic "thanks to all contributors"
line but no actual recognition by name. Two people in particular have
moved the project meaningfully forward and should be called out:
- @Luca-Timo — code contributor across multi-arch Docker, the external-
URL CMS toggle, folder tree picker, admin email picker, self-hosted
webfonts, the gallery header/banner decoupling, and typed-API
refactors. Consistent quality.
- @Rekoo-PS — bug reporter and feedback loop. Filed the issues that
drove the login-loop fix, gallery loading skeleton, redirection
cleanup, mobile lightbox overhaul, admin events search-counter fix,
photo-count column, and bulk-delete workflow. Also a BuyMeACoffee
supporter.
Closes the implicit recognition gap and sets up the section so future
contributors can be added with a one-line PR.
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.
