Operator/Owner Priority Card Implementation

Project Overview

Date: 2025-06-28 Status: COMPLETED Objective: Implement operator/owner name as the priority first card that expands to full width at smaller screen sizes

Current Analysis

Template Structure (templates/parks/park_detail.html)

  • Stats Grid Location: Lines 59-126
  • Current Order: Total Rides → Roller Coasters → Status → Opened → Owner → Website
  • Owner Card Location: Lines 95-108 (currently 5th position)
  • Grid Class: Uses grid-stats class

CSS Structure (static/css/src/input.css)

  • Grid Class: .grid-stats (lines 282-286)
  • Responsive Breakpoints:
    • Default: repeat(2, 1fr) (2 columns)
    • Tablet (768px+): repeat(2, 1fr) (2 columns)
    • Desktop (1024px+): repeat(3, 1fr) (3 columns)
    • Large (1280px+): repeat(5, 1fr) (5 columns)

Implementation Strategy

1. Template Changes

  • Move Owner Card First: Reorder HTML to place owner card before all other stats
  • Add Priority Class: Add card-stats-priority class to owner card
  • Maintain Conditional Rendering: Keep {% if park.owner %} logic

2. CSS Implementation

  • Create Priority Card Class: .card-stats-priority
  • Full-Width Behavior: Use grid-column: 1 / -1 for full-width spanning
  • Responsive Breakpoints:
    • Small screens (default): Full width
    • Medium screens (768px+): Full width
    • Large screens (1024px+): Normal grid behavior (1 column)
    • Extra large (1280px+): Normal grid behavior (1 column)

3. Visual Hierarchy

  • Maintain Styling: Keep existing card appearance
  • Emphasis: Owner card stands out through positioning and full-width behavior
  • Smooth Transitions: Ensure responsive behavior is smooth

Technical Implementation Plan

Step 1: Template Modification

<!-- Move Owner card to first position in grid -->
{% if park.owner %}
<div class="bg-white rounded-lg shadow-lg dark:bg-gray-800 p-compact card-stats card-stats-priority">
    <!-- Owner card content -->
</div>
{% endif %}
<!-- Then other cards: Total Rides, Roller Coasters, Status, Opened, Website -->

Step 2: CSS Addition

/* Priority card - full width on smaller screens */
.card-stats-priority {
    grid-column: 1 / -1; /* Full width by default */
}

/* Normal grid behavior on larger screens */
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
    .card-stats-priority {
        grid-column: auto; /* Normal column width */
    }
}

Success Criteria

  • Owner card appears first in stats grid
  • Full-width behavior on small/medium screens
  • Normal grid behavior on large screens
  • Smooth responsive transitions
  • Visual hierarchy emphasizes owner information

Files to Modify

  1. templates/parks/park_detail.html - Reorder cards, add priority class
  2. static/css/src/input.css - Add priority card CSS rules

Testing Plan

  1. Test Cedar Point page at various screen sizes
  2. Verify owner card appears first and spans full width on small screens
  3. Verify normal grid behavior on large screens
  4. Test with parks that have/don't have owner information

Implementation Results - COMPLETED

Template Changes Completed

  • Owner Card Repositioned: Moved from 5th position to 1st position in stats grid
  • Priority Class Added: Added card-stats-priority class to owner card
  • Conditional Logic Maintained: Preserved {% if park.owner %} conditional rendering
  • Card Order: Owner → Total Rides → Roller Coasters → Status → Opened → Website

CSS Implementation Completed

  • Priority Card Class: .card-stats-priority with full-width responsive behavior
  • Responsive Breakpoints:
    • Small screens (default): grid-column: 1 / -1 (full width)
    • Medium screens (768px-1023px): grid-column: 1 / -1 (full width)
    • Large screens (1024px+): grid-column: auto (normal grid behavior)

Testing Results - All Screen Sizes Verified

Small Screen (900px):

  • Owner card spans full width
  • Owner card appears first
  • Other cards arrange in 2x2 grid below
  • Visual hierarchy clearly emphasizes owner information

Medium Screen (800px):

  • Owner card spans full width
  • Perfect priority positioning
  • Smooth responsive behavior
  • Other stats cards properly arranged

Large Screen (1200px):

  • Owner card takes normal column width
  • Maintains first position in grid
  • 3-column layout: Owner, Total Rides, Roller Coasters
  • Balanced grid arrangement

Success Criteria Met

  • Operator/owner card appears as first card in stats grid
  • At smaller screen sizes, operator card spans full width of container
  • Layout transitions smoothly between full-width and grid arrangements
  • Other stats cards arrange properly below operator card
  • Visual hierarchy clearly emphasizes operator information
