This change aligns with our commitment to transparency and accountability by providing clear, detailed financial information to our members and donors.
Improved the `icon` function to handle attribute errors gracefully by falling back to an alternative reading method. This change addresses potential situations where the `file.response.file` attribute does not exist, ensuring icons are consistently loaded without causing runtime errors. The fallback method, `file.response.read()`, provides a reliable alternative for retrieving SVG files, thus enhancing the application's resilience and user experience.
Implemented a new template filter in Flask to dynamically render SVG icons, allowing for cleaner HTML templates and easier icon management. Added `coffee` and `envelope` SVG icons to the project's asset directory. This change not only streamlines the incorporation of new icons but also enhances the maintainability of the codebase by centralizing icon resources and reducing HTML clutter. Modified existing HTML templates to use this new dynamic icon rendering method, replacing hard-coded SVG and img tag icon implementations with the newly created template filter.
This update significantly improves the way icons are handled throughout the application, providing a more scalable and efficient approach to managing and displaying graphical elements.
- Moved `finances.json` and `services.json` to a new `data` directory for better organization.
