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 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
- 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

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 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.
Added optional chaining when accessing req.body.password in the
resend-email endpoint to handle cases where req.body is undefined.
This prevented the "Cannot read properties of undefined" error.
Fixes#137
Addresses GitHub issue #132 - enables filtering client feedback and
exporting filenames for use in Lightroom.
Changes:
- Add original_filename column to photos table via migration
- Store original filename during photo upload
- Fix export service column name mismatches (path, size_bytes, uploaded_at)
- Fix table name (photo_categories instead of categories)
- Fix toFixed() calls to handle string ratings from database
Export formats available:
- TXT with comma separator (for Lightroom Library Filter)
- CSV with full metadata
- JSON for automation
- XMP sidecar files (for Lightroom/Bridge/Capture One)
The invitation email was generating links to /admin/accept-invite/{token}
but the frontend route is configured at /invite/{token}. This caused
invited users to see a blank page when clicking the email link.
Fixes#129
Fixed inconsistent storage path fallbacks that caused 500 errors when
serving thumbnails. The paths were using '../../storage' (2 levels up)
instead of '../../../storage' (3 levels up) when STORAGE_PATH env var
is not set.
Affected files:
- backend/src/routes/gallery.js
- backend/src/services/photoService.js
- backend/src/services/eventService.js
The gallery /photos and /info endpoints were not returning the
allow_user_uploads field, causing the upload button to never show
in the frontend since the value was always undefined/false.
Add global settings to make event_date and expiration optional when
creating galleries. This supports non-event use cases like portraits,
corporate shoots, etc.
New features:
- Settings toggles in Settings → Event Creation tab
- "Require event date" checkbox with warning about random URL identifiers
- "Require expiration date" checkbox with warning about manual archiving
- Galleries without date use random hex suffix in slug (e.g. portrait-smith-a1b2c3)
- Galleries without expiration never expire (stay active until archived)
Backend changes:
- New migration for settings and nullable columns
- Conditional validation based on settings
- Updated slug generation with random suffix fallback
- Updated expiration checker to skip null expires_at
- Updated gallery access control for null expiration
Frontend changes:
- New checkboxes in EventsTab with warnings
- Conditional event date field (shows optional label)
- No Expiration message when expiration disabled
- Updated types for nullable event_date and expires_at
Closes#118
Document the API_URL environment variable that is used for constructing
URLs for assets (logos, images) in email notifications. Without this
setting, the system defaults to http://localhost:3001 which causes
broken images in production emails.
Added to both root and backend .env.example files with clear
documentation about its purpose and importance.
PostgreSQL's json column type returns parsed values directly (boolean
false instead of string "false"). The backend code used a truthy check
which failed for boolean false values, causing null to be returned
instead of the actual false value.
Changed condition from `if (setting.setting_value)` to explicit null
check `if (setting.setting_value !== null && setting.setting_value !== undefined)`
and added handling for already-parsed json column values.
Fixes#117
