Add GET /api/session, an unguarded probe that reports whether the request
carries valid credentials. It returns 200 with {"authenticated":bool} and never
sends WWW-Authenticate, so the static public pages can check login state without
triggering the browser's Basic-auth dialog. To keep it from being a
password-guessing oracle that bypasses the /upload limiter, a request with no
credentials is answered cheaply as false, while wrong credentials go through the
same failed-attempt limiter (429 once drained).
static/session.js, loaded by every page template, calls it and, only when
authenticated, builds a fixed toolbar: Upload / Manage links, an "Edit this"
link on photo pages (via <body data-slug>, deep-linking to /manage?edit=<slug>,
which scrolls to and focuses that row), a signed-in indicator, and a log-out
control. Logged-out visitors see nothing and get no dialog.
Log out is best-effort: HTTP Basic has no reliable sign-out (the browser caches
credentials until the window closes), so it overwrites the cached credential and
reloads, which works in some browsers but not all. A dependable logout would
need cookie sessions.
The view named by -default-view (timeline, the default, or grid) is published
at the site root; the other is served under /timeline/ or /grid/. viewBase and
pageURL derive every page path, pager link and the Timeline<->Grid cross-link
from the single setting, and Build removes both timeline/ and grid/ on each run
so flipping the default never leaves a stale root behind.
Reimplemented on trunk (which has albums and the /manage feature) rather than
cherry-picked, since the original was written against an earlier base. Credit
for the edit/delete and default-view ideas goes to Santhosh Raju, now noted in
a README Contributors section.
- main.go: -default-view flag, validated (fatal on anything but timeline/grid)
- module.nix: services.photogallery.defaultView enum option
- templates: timeline/grid/day/album/albums cross-links use TimelineURL/GridURL
- tests: timeline-root, grid-root, and switch-cleanup
- Web: favicon.ico + png icons under static/, served from the site root
and linked from every page head.
- Android: the artwork becomes the launcher icon — the 432px adaptive
foreground over the gruvbox background, replacing the placeholder vector
drawables.
- Desktop: the icon is the Qt window/taskbar icon (embedded via app.qrc),
and the app is now an installable package — a wrapped binary, a
photog.desktop entry, and hicolor icons — so `nix profile install
./desktop` puts "Photog" in the application menu.
Each timeline date heading now links to /day/<YYYY-MM-DD>/, a page
holding just that day's photos with a back link to the timeline.
renderDayPages writes one per groupByDay run; the ISO label doubles
as the URL slug.
