- 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
- Update .input class to use explicit colors for proper light/dark mode
- Update dark mode selectors for consistency (.dark .class)
- 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
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
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)
- Logo position options (top, center, bottom)
Changes include:
- Database migration for hero_logo_visible, hero_logo_size, hero_logo_position fields
- Backend routes updated to handle new settings
- Frontend admin page with logo customization controls
- HeroGalleryLayout component with dynamic logo rendering
- i18n translations for EN and DE
Also updates .gitignore to exclude test files and artifacts.
Implements GitHub issue #139 - allows users to create and manage custom
event types beyond the default presets (wedding, birthday, corporate, other).
Backend:
- Add event_types table migration with default system types
- Create eventTypeService for CRUD operations with legacy fallback
- Add adminEventTypes routes with full REST API
- Update event validation to use dynamic event types
- Update slug generation to use custom slug_prefix
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
Fixes#136
- Remove hidden sm:block wrapper hiding upload button on mobile for Grid layout
- Add upload button to GallerySidebar using existing allowUploads/onUploadClick props
- Ensures upload button is visible in both header and sidebar on all devices
Closes#113
The upload button was hidden in the sidebar on mobile devices, requiring
users to open the menu to find it. Now it appears directly in the topbar
for easy access on all screen sizes.
- Remove !isMobile condition from header upload button
- Add responsive text (short on mobile, full on desktop)
- Remove duplicate upload button from sidebar
Fixes#113

This commit fixes the core bugs that prevented Reference mode from functioning:
1. Missing external_relpath Error (CRITICAL FIX)
- Root cause: photoResolver prioritized event.source_mode over photo.source_origin
- Problem: Events in "reference" mode with uploaded photos would fail
because uploaded photos have source_origin='managed' but were being
treated as external photos (requiring external_relpath)
- Fix: Prioritize photo.source_origin over event.source_mode
- Result: Events can now have MIXED sources - imported external photos
AND newly uploaded managed photos coexisting correctly
- File: backend/src/services/photoResolver.js:19
2. Category Assignment Failure (CRITICAL FIX)
- Root cause: Update endpoints modified category_id column but display
used photo.type field ('individual' or 'collage')
- Problem: Category changes appeared to succeed but had no visible effect
- Fix: When category_id is 'individual' or 'collage', update the type
field instead of category_id
- Result: Category assignments now work correctly for all photos
- Files: backend/src/routes/adminPhotos.js:489-497, 605-607
3. Scroll Button Non-Functional (UX FIX)
- Root cause: Scroll indicator was purely visual (no click handler)
- Problem: Users expected to click the animated chevron to scroll
- Fix: Convert div to button with smooth scroll to grid section
- Result: Scroll button now functions as expected with proper a11y
- File: frontend/src/components/gallery/layouts/HeroGalleryLayout.tsx:165-184
Technical Details:
Mixed Source Support:
The photoResolver now correctly handles events that mix:
- External photos: source_origin='external' + external_relpath set
- Uploaded photos: source_origin='managed' + path in storage/events/active
This allows users to start with external media import and later upload
additional photos without errors.
Category/Type Distinction:
The system uses photo.type ('individual'|'collage') for display but also
has a legacy category_id column. The update logic now handles both:
- String values 'individual'/'collage' → update type field
- Numeric values → update legacy category_id field (backward compat)
Notes on Remaining Issues:
Issue #30 also mentioned:
4. Image display (cropped square) - This is by design. Thumbnails use
fit='cover' by default for consistent grid layouts. Can be changed
via app_settings.thumbnail_fit if needed.
5. Theme application - The "Apply Theme" button updates the form state
correctly. Users need to click "Save Changes" to persist to database.
This is standard form behavior, not a bug.
Testing:
- Create event in reference mode with external media
- Upload new photos to the same event → verify no external_relpath error
- Change categories on both external and uploaded photos → verify changes apply
- Use Hero gallery layout → verify scroll button works
Fixes#30
