ULOG #3: Introducing the #Ulog-Ned Editor and Bug Fix for Draft Auto-Save

No fancy introduction for this contribution, just some simple story-telling for changes to ulogs.org.

1) Save Drafts for New Editors

Because the new #main-editor uses a new URL (/main-editor), there was a bug that the editor redirects to the /editor when it auto-saves.

The fix for this was to pass the location URL when saving drafts so that it redirects to this route when it triggers the auto-save function.

The key fix for this is in the src/client/post/Write/editorActions.js file when it calls the saveDraft editor action. Instead of re-directing to a fixed /editor location, it will pass the current location when it saves a draft.

2) #Ulog-Ned Editor

This is basically a copy of normal editor, but with some additional explanatory text on what this editor is for when one should use it.

The key changes for this were:

src/common/routes.js - added support for #ulog-ned URL to display the Editor component
src/client/post/Write/Write.js - refactored the codes to use Switch-Route from react-router-dom instead of using boolean variables
src/client/components/Editor/EditorUlogNed.js - the main editor code

Final Thoughts

I thank God for the wisdom and knowledge he gave me. For this case, it's to understand and come up with a simple solution for the editor redirect problem.

As what my mentors Dr. Daniel Razon and Bro. Eli Soriano have taught and showed me and my brethren, always give thanks for even the simple things.
