PURPOSE
The event foldable badge is currently not very user-friendly in terms of usage
and style.
This commit aims to re-work it visually as well as getting rid of multiple
technical flows (unnecessary fields / no studio anchors / ...).
SPECS
Preliminary cleaning : Unify both foldable badge templates into one.
The "event badges" report can be printed from 2 different sources, from the
event.event itself as a preview and from the event.registration as an actual
badge for a specific attendee.
The implementation was done using two different templates, leading to a lot of
duplicated code and potential issues when editing one template that would not
modify the other accordingly.
This commit unifies both templates into one.
When the report is printed from the event as a "preview", we simply check that
the attendee variable is missing and print placeholders instead.
Main changes : Rework the whole foldable badge template
1. Get rid of unnecessary fields
The foldable badge template used several fields on the event.event model itself
that would allow customizing the report per event.
However, there were actually no way for the user to access and edit those
fields, as they are not part of any views.
We therefore removed them (badge_front, badge_back, badge_innerleft,
badge_innerright, event_logo).
And instead offer a single new field (ticket_extra_instructions), available on
the form view of the event, that allows to easily customize the foldable badge
and adding instructions specific to this event (how to come / what to bring /
...).
2. Visual changes
The report was re-worked to make it look a bit more recent, as the previous
look was very basic and was not very attractive.
This was done using a specific scss file that allows defining rules without
bloating the template with long style attributes.
In addition, we added some pictures that help the attendee understanding how to
correctly fold the printed A4 sheet into a badge and slide it into the holder.
All the information that were previously on the report should still be there.
3. Relocate action from website_event to event
As a bonus, we moved the reporting action from website_event to event, in order
to have everything that is related to this foldable badge in the same module.
Side note: scss disclaimer
As the reporting engine does not allow complex class/rules building, we had to
implement this nice layout using very well placed background-image and
"pixel perfect" sized elements.
You will see a lot of hardcoded numbers, mainly on heights, but it can't be
helped.
