| Custom Buttons on Home Page
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you can configure your own buttons for the Home Page.
| You can add or remove as many buttons as you like.
|
| The syntax of the custom buttons is as follows:
|
| array(
| 'button' => '',
| 'link' => '',
| 'title' => '',
| 'icon' => '',
| 'custom_css' => ''
| ),
|
| In the 'button' field, you have to enter the button name (i.e. 'twitter', 'github', 'custom'...).
| You can find a list of all available buttons below.
|
| In the 'link' field, can enter your desired link you can leave this field empty for a display only, non-functional button.
|
|
|
| The input fields below only apply to buttons such as 'custom' and 'custom_website' but must always be included even if only empty.
|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
| In the 'title' field, changes the text on a button, such as 'custom' and 'custom_website'.
|
| In the 'icon' field, uses the same syntax as the Button Editor on the Admin Panel.
| This allows you to add your own icons to 'custom' buttons. You can find a list of available icons on llc.bio/fa.
|
| In the 'custom_css' field, here you can enter custom CSS to change the color of your button.
| If you don't feel comfortable working with CSS,
| you can copy and paste the CSS from the 'Custom CSS' field of the Button Editor on the Admin Panel.

Added support for custom meta tags via a new config file.
Custom meta tags will only be active if "CUSTOM_META_TAGS" is set to "true" in the config.
Replaced "<html lang="en">" with "@include('layouts.lang')" meaning HTML lang can be changed in the new config, defaults to en if not active or not defined.
A short page that displays the contents of a Theme's readme.md.
Currently, a link to this page is only visible in the HTML meta tags if viewed as page source.
This page can always be accessed on your.domain.com/theme/@littlelink_name.
(For example your.domain.com/theme/@admin)
Enabled users to use custom HTML formatting for their personal page descriptions.
Due to security reasons, this option is turned off by default. This setting can be enabled in the config.
Switched to dark mode detection via CSS instead of JavaScript on users LittleLink pages and the home page.
I decided to use this approach instead of the previous JavaScript version. This means that a manual switch to change between light and dark mode by user won't be added.
Added noopener, noreferrer and nofollow to user generated links to prevent users abusing the link system for malicious purposes.
Also, this is the 400th commit 🎉
Added custom spaces and headings users can add like buttons to their littlelink pages to divide button sections into groups.
Spaces can be changed via the number in the title, and one space equals one "<br>". The maximum spaces that can be added with one space 'button' is capped at 10.
The 'Space' button will be replaced with an empty space, so buttons could be visually separated into groups. Entering a number between 1-10 in the title section will change the empty space's distance.
The 'Heading' button will be replaced with a sub-heading, where the title defines the text on that heading.
Added option to override registration, even if disabled with the setting in the database.
This is something that probably 99.999% of users will never need, but I really need a function like this for my personal instance.
If "REGISTER_OVERRIDE=true" is added to the .env config file, users will be able to register no matter what is set with the setting in the database. This is useful if two LittleLink Custom instances access the same database, but one should allow registration and the other should not.
If this causes any errors in the future, I will remove this.
Adds the ability to insert code snippets into the head and body element laid out by the sidebar with blade by including:
@push('stylesheets')
<!-- your code -->
@endpush
@push('scripts')
<!-- your code -->
@endpush

Added a security check on the sidebar.blade.php that tests if critical config components are accessible externally by anyone.
This is a fairly crude method and not at all optimized. I might change this in future revisions. At least this feature is disabled for normal users, so it won't affect load for non admins. This is the same code from the new diagnostic tool added in the previous commit. I had to change the names of each variable, otherwise the diagnostic tool could not use the same variables. The smart thing to do here would probably be to simply use the variables only in the sidebar, since they are loaded anyway since the sidebar layout is included on the diagnostic tool, effectively loading the variables twice. I might change this later, but for now I will leave it as.

Added new security check tool. This tool is a new page that displays diagnostic information about your LittleLink Custom installation.
Previously, installing LittleLink Custom on NGINX or other platforms that do not support .htaccess functionality presented a significant security risk if not configured properly. This tool simply shows if critical system files can be accessed externally by anyone. In addition, information about writing access to important files or directories is displayed here.

User's profile names are now used as the title and heading for their LittleLink pages. Previously the '@name' was used for this, so for example the page name x.com/@admin is now not tied to the @admin part anymore, so a space could be used in the name for example.
See an example of this here: https://i.imgur.com/iBS8Hsm.png
Added option to only notify about major updates. This setting is now the default and can be changed in the config by changing the setting "NOTIFY_UPDATES" from "major" to "all".
This setting was achieves by turning the previous if statement into an if-else statement with the new option. For this, I utilized a function that gets the latest tag from the GitHub repository.
I wasn't able to implement the 'if URL exists' check, the URL would just not return an error negating the function. I will probably fix this in the future, but as it is now, if the GitHub API server can't be reached this might trow an error.
The major release is still the previous update version retreated from the GitHub repository. This means I will only update that version for major or otherwise important updates.
I implemented this feature because I didn't want to spam new users with a new update notification every other day.
Added share button that is displayed on user's personal pages that if clicked either copies the profile URL or opens a share dialog window depending on the browser and operating system.

Fixed word spacing bug in texts added by the new page editor. This bug caused inserted links to have extended spacing between words.
This 'bug' was a previous feature added to display links further apart for easier readability. The feature didn't scale well with the newly added page editor which allowed users to add their own links to edited texts, causing the bug.
The extended spacing was achieved with the 'padding' CSS tag. I simply removed the tag from all an HTML tags and made it into its own class, 'spacing'. I added the class to every element on the site that previously depended on this tag.
Fixed bug where if a user was edited on the Admin Panel under 'Admin>Users> Edit User' changes would not apply without every value being changed.
This bug originates from LittleLink Admin (the fork of which this fork is based on).
One part of this issue was that most fields were required to fill in. If only one would be left, empty, none would apply. The problem was if this requirement was removed, the password would always overwrite the current password, even when left empty.
This meant you could only edit users if you knew their password, otherwise their passwords would be changed, probably preventing that user from login in ever again.
After some experimenting, I implemented the easiest fix I could come up with. A simple if-else statement that checks if the password field is empty and if so only saves the other parameters without touching the password. If the password is changed, the changes will be applied normally.
Also fixed the profile image size for the default placeholder image.
