Fixed bug where users littlelink pages (domain.com/@username) would display a 404 error. This was caused due to the .env config file not containing an App URL. This issue could be solved by simply adding a URL to the config, this is now not necessary anymore, making the setup process easier and less confusing.
I changed every instance of "{{ config('app.url') }}" to "{{ url(' ') }}". This effectively automatically uses the correct URL for LittleLink links, even if LittleLink Custom is set up in a subdirectory.
In my testing, I couldn't find any problems this might have caused, so this appears to do the job just as well as setting the URL in the config. If I find any issues with this, I will revert this change.
This displays an update notice if a new version of LittleLink Custom has been released.
This one is definitely a messy one. Everything I added is commented, but I'm going to try explaining it here one more time.
General outcome:
• This feature checks the local version against the newest version stored on a separate server.
Error prevention:
• I used 'file_get_contents' to get the version number from a JSON file. If 'file_get_contents' cant find the file, PHP will throw an Error Exception.
• To prevent this, I put the update section in an if-statement that only applies if the following conditions are met.
Check if files exist:
• To test whether the file on the server exists (remember, if the server can't be reached, you will get an Error Exception) I used a function that checks if the URL to the file on the server successfully returns a '200 OK' response (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/200).
• If this condition is met, it sets the variable '$ServerExists' to true, if not to false.
• Now, the previous mentioned if-statement simply checks if the local file exists and the '$ServerExists' variable equals 'true' to proceed.
Get version number:
• If all previous conditions are met, two variables get defined via 'file_get_contents' '$Vgit' and '$Vlocal'.
• Both the file on the server and the local file simply contain the version number.
• The variable '$Vgit' is the newest version number retrieved from the server.
• The variable '$Vlocal' is the local version number.
Display update notice:
• To finally display the version number (added with HTML) one last check via an if-statement is performed. This simply checks if the current user is an admin AND if the version retrieved from the server is higher than the local one.
• If both conditions are met, the notice is displayed.
In addition, I should mention that I put the existing 'Watch Page' link as well as the update notice in a div with the class 'row' to display both links next to another instead of them being stacked.
Added 'fadein' class to avatar image, littlelink_name and littlelink_description text. This class adds the fade-in animation from 'animate.css' found in /littlelink/css/.

This fixed the issue of dark mode not displaying on the register, login, forgot password and a few other pages.
This one took me a while to fix, and I still don't really know what is going on here.
The aforementioned pages already implemented a dark mode, but it didn't seem to work for me. After some testing, I discovered that the dark mode preset doesn't load on chromium based browsers.
I have absolutely no idea why that is, if someone could help me with this that would be amazing. I might make an issue out of this later on.
As I still wanted to fix this, I finally achieved my goal by doing the caveman approach:
I first added the usual dark mode detection. The same used on the home and little link pages (see previous commits if you're interested).
Then I wrote and if statement that loads the newly added app-dark.css (see previous commit) that changes text and background color on the pages in question, if the browser type is chromium and dark mode is selected in the browser settings.
"@if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Chrome' !== false) and $color_scheme == 'dark')"
This doesn't look optimal, and I would rather just have the same dark mode as on Firefox, but this is the best I can currently do with my available time.
Added empty SQLite database for future use as main database for Laravel. As mentioned in previous commits, I'm switching to SQLite due to the easier setup process for the inexperienced user.
Added default '.env' config file. I'm keeping the '.env.example' in the repository, but an easier setup process a default configuration will from now on be included in the repository.
I'm switching from MySQL to SQLite for the same reason mentioned above. By adding the MySQL database setting from '.env.example' to the '.env' config, MySQL can still be used as the database.
Added dark mode CSS files for all studio pages.
Now, this one's a bit janky. The studio CSS files 'bootstrap.min' and 'style-dashboard' already had settings for dark mode in them.
The problem is that the PHP files for the studio sites:
app.blade.php, footer.blade.php, guest.blade.php, sidebar.blade.php and a few others specify the light classes in the PHP directly.
As I didn't want to create separate PHP pages for dark and light mode, I simply replaced the light mode values in the CSS files with the dark mode ones. This means in the files the classes are still labeled as light mode but are in fact for the dark mode.
Selection for the dark mode will be handled the same as on the other pages, with JavaScript and a cookie (see next commit).
Just a quick fix, the logo wasn't displaying correctly I probably should do this with a separate CSS file for all images, but I just did this quick and dirty with a style attribute

Fixed the if-else statement responsible for loading the correct login/register image. The SVG wouldn't work, so I just used the new avatar@2x.png, so I guess that one is staying for now.
If it works it works, I could load the vector image by changing the logo to the SVG in:
confirm-password.blade.php, forgot-password.blade.php, login.blade.php, register.blade.php, reset-password.blade.php and verify-email.blade.php.
This works good enough, so imma leave it how it is now.
I removed avatar.png as it is no longer being used and has been replaced with logo.svg.
If an admin uploads a custom logo, this will take the place of avatar.png and will be used as the new logo.
