Feature: Replace "visible to" with Published/Under review/Archived

[rjmackay]

Changes:

• Update post status display with new icons/text
• Update post filters to filter by status, not visible to
• Update post edit with control to set status, remove visibility control
• Add "Mark as" dropdown to timeline bulk actions (excluding spam/duplicate)
• Update post actions dropdown to add Put under review/archive/publish options
• Update post detail and post edit layouts
• API: Add "archived" status
• API: Migrate posts already published to specific roles??
  • Run data to see how many this is.
  • Possibly push all these posts back into draft and add to a collection for admin review.

The idea is basically this: From a user-facing point of view, let's scrap "Who can see this," and instead double down on "Post status." A post that's saved within a deployment is either:

• Published
• Under review
• Archived

Any user needs around the fine-tuned visibility of posts will therefore have to be constrained to Role configuration. This effects, well, a lot of screens. But here's the jist of it:

Postcards

Anywhere you see a postcard (including as a map popup, in the Timeline, and post detail), you'll see a consistent email-like treatment of its "status."

Example:

In the top-left of the postcard, a status indicator is displayed with one of the three status icons. If it's "Under review," it glows yellow (similar to an "unread" indicator), suggesting it requires attention. Otherwise, it's a subtle icon.

If you mouseover it, a short description of the status appears:

You can, of course, change a post's status when you edit it. But you can also change its status from:

1. The listing toolbar:
   
2. The post's actions dropdown:
   

The status-related actions available correspond to the post's current status.

Map & Timeline

The tools we provide for mashing up the data you're looking are naturally affected by this.
the toolbar's more exhaustive "Filters" control also includes this feature:

Post edit

The example I've staged also assumes the user can edit the post time (and author). But you can see there's a very visible control there for changing the post's status:

@brandonrosage @jshorland what should the default status filter be? show everything? or just published? or published+under review?

[rjmackay]

Running stats on number of posts published with custom 'published_to' values.

@jshorland this is deployed to ushahididev.com - can you test there? it covers a lot of areas of the UI

To test:

• Post status display matches PL on timeline
• Post status display matches PL on map
• Post status display matches PL on post detail
• Filter by status works
• post edit set status control works
• Bulk actions "mark as under review, archived, published" works
• Individual post actions dropdown "Put under review/archive/publish" works
• Post edit sidebar shows created/updated dates

QA FAILED.
QA'd on qa.ushahididev.com, u: jess@ushahidi.com, p: password. testing while logged in as ADMIN.

Filter by status:

• there's some weird behavior here. When I uncheck all three statuses (stati?), there are still posts on the map as well as on list. Is this the way it's supposed to behave?

Bulk actions:

• when I select all on timeline mode and mark all as "under review", they disappear and timeline mode tells me there are no posts in the deployment yet. I then navigated to the map and all the posts were gone, but the post count numbers are still there. I'm logged in as an admin while testing.
• when I select all on timeline mode and mark all as "archived", they appear to change to the published indicator icon instead of archived icon.

Post edit sidebar shows created/updated dates:

• I couldn't test this because I couldn't access any of my posts after bulk action changing them to under review. where did they go?

[jshorland]

Assigning back to you, @rjmackay -- failed QA.

With all of our filters, no filter = return anything. The UI doesn't really match this but I'm not sure what it should do. Returning an empty list is pointless..

I'll investigate other issues.

[rjmackay]

@jshorland can you put these back into "In Development" column when they fail QA?

[rjmackay]

when I select all on timeline mode and mark all as "under review", they disappear and timeline mode tells me there are no posts in the deployment yet. I then navigated to the map and all the posts were gone, but the post count numbers are still there. I'm logged in as an admin while testing.

I can't reproduce this. We refresh the listing after a 'mark all' but its working fine for me.

when I select all on timeline mode and mark all as "archived", they appear to change to the published indicator icon instead of archived icon.

Can't reproduce this at all

[rjmackay]

I'm not 100% clear: who can see archived posts? I'm going to assume everyone but we can fix that later if that wasn't desired. @brandonrosage @jshorland

[brandonrosage]

@rjmackay My intent is for “Archived” posts’ visibility to be identical to that of posts that are “Under Review.”

If nothing else, this keeps things simple.

Until we learn of a user need to expose “Archived” posts publicly, I think we should treat them as posts the deployer explicitly wants to “retire” from the outward-facing dataset, without being forced to either delete or demote them back to “Under Review."

[jshorland]

Passes QA! Moving to done.
