Third loop fix in the same /admin/login → /admin/dashboard → /admin/login
pattern as #355 and #363. Reported on v3.39.1-beta.0 — the loop returns
after a server restart or after an idle gap longer than the configured
session timeout.
## Root cause (server)
`sessionTimeoutMiddleware` is mounted on `/api/admin` (server.js:411). It
rejects with `401 SESSION_TIMEOUT` when either:
- the in-memory `lastActivity` for the token is older than the timeout, or
- this is the first request with this token AND the token's `iat` is
older than the timeout (post-restart guard).
`/auth/session` lives under `/api/auth/session`, NOT under `/api/admin`,
so the middleware never runs for it. Result: an idle/old-iat admin token
returns `valid: true` from `/auth/session` while every protected
endpoint immediately rejects it with `401 SESSION_TIMEOUT`. Frontend's
401 interceptor hard-redirects to `/admin/login`, `/auth/session` says
valid again, loop closes — exact same shape as the previous two
asymmetries the symmetry pass missed.
Fix: add a non-mutating `isSessionExpired(token, decoded)` helper to
`middleware/sessionTimeout.js` that reads the same in-memory map and
applies the same lastActivity / iat-vs-timeout logic as the middleware,
without updating the map (the middleware is the only place that records
activity; `/auth/session` is read-only by design). `/auth/session`
calls the helper for `decoded.type === 'admin'` after the existing
admin-existence and password-change checks. Same try/catch fall-through
pattern as the prior fixes so a missing/broken helper doesn't fail-closed
during early bootstrap or in test stubs.
## Root cause (client race amplifying the loop)
Even with the server fix, the previous `useSessionTimeout` hook called
`AdminAuthContext.logout()` which dispatches `POST /auth/logout`
fire-and-forget AND has its own `finally { window.location.href }`,
then immediately set `window.location.href = '/admin/login?session=expired'`
on top. Two consequences:
- The cookie wasn't reliably cleared before the new page loaded —
if any /auth/session asymmetry slipped through, the loop replayed
inside the same tab. New-tab and "refresh several times" "fixes"
were just the logout request eventually completing.
- Two redirects raced; sometimes the `?session=expired` query was
dropped, breaking the login-page toast.
Fix: rewrite the hook to (a) await `POST /auth/logout` so the cookie
is guaranteed cleared, (b) clear `sessionStorage.admin_user` directly
instead of going through AdminAuthContext.logout (which has the
side-effect redirect we don't want), and (c) navigate exactly once
with the `?session=expired` query.
## Tests
- `__tests__/routes/authSession.symmetry.test.js` — 4 new cases under
a `session-timeout symmetry` describe block: helper says expired →
valid:false; helper says active → valid:true; helper not called for
gallery tokens; helper throws → fall through to valid:true (defensive).
Existing 9 tests still pass (mock now includes
`isSessionExpired: jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve(false))` as the
default).
- `__tests__/middleware/sessionTimeout.isSessionExpired.test.js` — 7
new unit tests for the helper itself: fresh token / old-iat /
recently-active / null-input / no-mutation / 60-min default
boundary cases.
20 cases total, all green. Lint clean on every touched file.
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.
Two follow-ups to PR #372 (external-URL toggle for imprint /
privacy CMS pages):
1. **i18n.** PR #372 added 6 new `cms.*` keys to the en + de
locales but the project ships 5 locales total. Adds the missing
nl / pt / ru translations so the admin CMS page renders in the
active language for those users instead of falling back to
English literals next to the German/Dutch/Portuguese/Russian
surrounding strings.
2. **API shape.** `publicCMS.js` returned `external_url`
unconditionally — even when `use_external_url` is false the URL
value was still emitted in the public response. The frontend
correctly gated on both flags so it worked, but the API surface
was leaking a value the admin had explicitly disabled. The
value still lives in the DB (so the toggle can be flipped back
on without losing it), but the public endpoint now returns
`null` whenever the toggle is off.
Note: kept the existing `logo_url` shape unchanged. Its semantics
are different — null means "fall back to global branding" and
consumers rely on always having the field, so emitting it
unconditionally is intentional there.
No frontend change needed: both `GalleryLayout` and `LegalPage`
already gate on `use_external_url && external_url`, so the
short-circuit handles `external_url: null` correctly.
The rebuilt modal in this PR shipped with hard-coded English strings.
That made the reset flow untranslated for German/Dutch/Portuguese/
Russian customers — toasts, confirm dialog, success screen all
fell back to English regardless of the active locale.
- New `events.passwordReset.*` namespace in en/de/nl/pt/ru with 22
keys covering both modal screens, the warning banner, validation
errors, and the toast messages.
- Modal uses `useTranslation()` for every previously hard-coded
string. Reuses `common.cancel`, `events.copy`, `events.copied`
where they already exist across all locales.
- The {{eventName}} interpolation uses i18next's standard variable
syntax so the description line reads naturally in each language.
No behaviour change. TypeScript clean (`npx tsc --noEmit`), ESLint
clean. JSON validity checked for all 5 locale files.
Two related defects on the same gallery-email surface that PR #367
opened, addressed together:
1. Reset-password endpoint was a one-way auto-generate.
`POST /admin/events/:id/reset-password` always called
`generateReadablePassword()` and ignored any client-supplied value;
the modal only offered a confirm + a forced auto-generated result.
Admins who wanted to set a memorable customer-supplied password
had no way to do it.
Backend: route now reads optional `password` from the body. If
present, validates with `validatePasswordInContext('gallery', …)`
(same rules as create-event) and uses it; if absent, falls back to
the existing generator, so old callers / cron stay functional.
Switched the bcrypt rounds from a hard-coded `10` to
`getBcryptRounds()` to match the create flow.
Frontend: rebuilt `PasswordResetModal.tsx`. Typed input with
show/hide, confirm-password field that appears on type, the same
`<PasswordGenerator>` used by `CreateEventPage` (event-context-
aware, fills both fields when used), send-email checkbox,
client-side validation, server-side validation feedback inline.
Submit empty → server auto-generates and the success screen shows
the value with a copy button (legacy one-click flow preserved);
submit with a typed password → success toast + close (no need to
re-show what the admin already typed).
Service layer: `events.service.resetPassword(id, sendEmail,
password?)` only sends `password` in the body when set.
Caller: `EventDetailsPage` now passes `eventDate` + `eventType`
into the modal so the generator has event context.
2. `gallery_link` was the path-only `event.share_link` in three
email-queue sites, so customer mail showed
`/gallery/<slug>/<token>` instead of the full
`https://example.com/gallery/<slug>/<token>` URL.
- `adminEvents.js` reset-password queue (#1437)
- `adminEvents.js` resend-creation-email queue (#1502)
- `expirationChecker.js` expiration_warning queue (#82)
All three now derive `shareUrl` from `buildShareLinkVariants`
(the same helper already used by create-event, publish-from-
draft, and event-rename). The other 4 callers
(`adminEvents.js:651/913`, `events.js:187`,
`eventRenameService.js:231`) already used the full URL — this
closes the gap.
Verified: TypeScript clean (`npx tsc --noEmit`), ESLint clean on
every touched file (the 4 lint errors that remain in
`adminEvents.js` are pre-existing and predate this branch).
Live processing-state UI that complements the backend async pipeline.
Modal stays open through the processing phase and surfaces real
progress (X of N photos processed); the admin grid renders placeholder
cards for in-flight photos and auto-refreshes via polling until the
queue drains.
services/uploads.service.ts (new)
- getStatus(uploadId) — JSON snapshot from /admin/uploads/:id/status
- retryPhoto(photoId) — POST /admin/photos/:id/retry
- streamUrl(uploadId) — SSE upgrade URL
hooks/useUploadProgress.ts (new)
- Tracks N concurrent upload IDs (one per chunk POST) and merges
counters into a single aggregate.
- Always polls every 1.5s; opportunistic SSE upgrade on top of that.
SSE failure (proxy buffering, etc.) silently downgrades to polling
only — no reconnect storms.
- Auto-stops both channels when every tracked group is in a terminal
(complete/failed) state.
components/admin/PhotoUpload.tsx
- Captures upload_id from each chunk's 202 response, feeds them into
useUploadProgress.
- Phase machine extended: stays in 'processing' until the worker
drains the queue (not just until bytes-on-wire). Progress UI shows
real "X of N done" with a determinate bar fed by the aggregate.
- "You can leave this page" hint kept — closing the modal is now
actually safe, work continues server-side.
- Side-effect refactor: invokes onUploadComplete twice — once early
so the user sees photos appearing immediately, once on terminal
so the parent grid sees final state.
components/admin/AdminPhotoGrid.tsx
- Photos with processing_status pending/processing render an amber
placeholder card with a spinning Cog instead of the missing
thumbnail.
- Photos with status='failed' render a red card with the error message
and a "Retry" button that POSTs /admin/photos/:id/retry.
pages/admin/EventDetailsPage.tsx
- Photo list query gains refetchInterval that polls every 2s while
any photo is non-terminal, then stops. Keeps the grid auto-fresh
during ongoing processing.
Phase 1 of the upload-progress redesign. Two changes that ship UX wins
without any architectural surgery — they're a stepping stone for the
full async-processing rework that follows in subsequent commits.
1. Two-state progress bar (PhotoUpload.tsx, UserPhotoUpload.tsx)
When axios.onUploadProgress reports loaded === total, the request is
on the server and the bytes have left the browser. Today the bar sits
at 100% for the chunk while the backend runs sharp/ffmpeg/EXIF (often
minutes on NFS-backed storage) and users assume the upload froze.
The component now distinguishes two phases:
- 'transferring' — bytes-on-wire, determinate progress bar.
- 'processing' — bytes done, waiting for response. Indeterminate
spinner + an explanatory hint that the backend is
generating thumbnails / reading metadata and the
user can leave the page.
Same pattern in UserPhotoUpload (gallery): the per-file checkmark
icon is replaced by a Loader2 spinner while the request is in flight
after bytes-on-wire finished.
2. Temp directory cleanup (adminPhotos.js)
Multer creates temp/upload_<ts>_<rand>/ per request. Files inside it
are individually unlinked after they're moved to storage on the
success path, but the empty directory was never removed. On error
paths three different inline blocks each tried to clean up; the
success path was missed entirely. Result: the orphan-empty-dirs
accumulation reported in the issue (70+ on the affected instance).
Replace the inline cleanup blocks with a single idempotent
cleanupTempDir() registered on res.finish + res.close, so it fires
exactly once on every exit path (validation 4xx, server 5xx, multer
error, success).
New translation keys (en/de): upload.transferring, upload.processing,
upload.processingHint, upload.processingProgress, upload.processingFailed,
upload.retryFailed.
