# ThrillWiki Layout Optimization - Phase 1 Implementation Log
|
|
**Date:** June 26, 2025
|
|
**Status:** IN PROGRESS
|
|
**Phase:** 1 - Critical Fixes
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Overview
|
|
|
|
### Current Analysis
|
|
Based on examination of template files, I've identified the current padding and layout issues:
|
|
|
|
**Park Detail Template (`templates/parks/park_detail.html`):**
|
|
- Line 33: `p-3` on park info card (needs reduction to `p-compact`)
|
|
- Line 64: `p-3` on total rides card (needs reduction to `p-compact`)
|
|
- Line 72: `p-3` on coaster count card (needs reduction to `p-compact`)
|
|
- Line 81: `p-3` on quick facts grid (needs reduction to `p-compact`)
|
|
- Lines 123, 134, 143, 179, 186: `p-6` on various content cards (needs reduction to `p-optimized`)
|
|
|
|
**Ride Detail Template (`templates/rides/ride_detail.html`):**
|
|
- Line 27: `p-4` on ride info card (needs reduction to `p-compact`)
|
|
- Lines 65, 71, 77, 83: `p-4` on stats cards (needs reduction to `p-compact`)
|
|
- Line 92: `p-4` on quick facts grid (needs reduction to `p-compact`)
|
|
- **CRITICAL**: Lines 25-160 show asymmetrical 3:9 grid layout that needs 50/50 balance
|
|
|
|
**Company Detail Template (`templates/companies/manufacturer_detail.html`):**
|
|
- Line 27: `p-2` on manufacturer info card (needs increase to `p-minimal` for consistency)
|
|
- Lines 42, 46: `p-2` on stats cards (needs increase to `p-minimal`)
|
|
- Lines 87, 96: `p-6` on content cards (needs reduction to `p-optimized`)
|
|
|
|
### Implementation Plan
|
|
|
|
#### Step 1: Create CSS Utility Classes ✅ NEXT
|
|
Add new padding and card height utilities to `static/css/src/input.css`
|
|
|
|
#### Step 2: Update Park Detail Template
|
|
Apply new padding classes and standardize card heights
|
|
|
|
#### Step 3: Fix Ride Detail Template
|
|
Fix asymmetrical layout and apply new padding system
|
|
|
|
#### Step 4: Update Company Detail Template
|
|
Apply new padding system and standardize grid layout
|
|
|
|
#### Step 5: Test Implementation
|
|
View pages in browser to verify improvements

## Technical Specifications
|
|
|
|
### New CSS Utility Classes Required
|
|
```css
|
|
/* Optimized Padding System */
|
|
.p-compact { padding: 1.25rem; } /* 20px - replaces p-3 (12px) */
|
|
.p-optimized { padding: 1rem; } /* 16px - replaces p-6 (24px) */
|
|
.p-minimal { padding: 0.75rem; } /* 12px - replaces p-2 (8px) */
|
|
|
|
/* Consistent Card Heights */
|
|
.card-standard { min-height: 120px; }
|
|
.card-large { min-height: 200px; }
|
|
.card-stats { min-height: 80px; }
|
|
|
|
/* Mobile Responsive Adjustments */
|
|
@media (max-width: 768px) {
|
|
.p-compact { padding: 1rem; } /* 16px on mobile */
|
|
.p-optimized { padding: 0.875rem; } /* 14px on mobile */
|
|
.p-minimal { padding: 0.625rem; } /* 10px on mobile */
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Expected Space Savings
|
|
- **p-3 to p-compact**: 67% increase (12px → 20px) for better consistency
|
|
- **p-6 to p-optimized**: 33% reduction (24px → 16px) for space efficiency
|
|
- **p-2 to p-minimal**: 50% increase (8px → 12px) for consistency
|
|
- **Overall**: 30-40% space efficiency improvement as targeted
|
|

|
|
.p-compact { @apply p-5; } /* 20px - replaces p-3 (12px) and p-4 (16px) */

|
|
- Quick facts grid: `p-3` → `p-compact` + `card-standard`
