Simplified PDF download UX to use only the modal loading overlay,
removing the redundant toast notification that appeared when the modal
was closed during download. Updated tests to reflect the new behavior.
Changes:
- Removed toast trigger logic from PDF modal download function
- Removed modal close event listener for toast display
- Updated toast notification test expectations
- Fixed recommended card outline styling
**Issue 1: URL corruption in "See this CV in..." links**
- Bug: replaceYearPlaceholder used fmt.Sprintf on ALL URLs
- URLs like "/?lang=es" were corrupted to "/?lang=es%!(EXTRA string=2025)"
- Fix: Changed to strings.ReplaceAll("{{YEAR}}", year)
- Result: Only replaces actual {{YEAR}} placeholders, leaves other URLs intact
**Issue 2: Download filename not respected**
- Bug: Shortcut URLs (cv-jamr-2025-en.pdf) redirected with HTTP 301
- Browsers used original URL filename instead of Content-Disposition header
- Fix: Generate PDF directly in DefaultCVShortcut handler
- Result: Returns PDF with correct filename in Content-Disposition header
Files changed:
- internal/models/cv.go: Fixed replaceYearPlaceholder function
- internal/handlers/cv.go: Changed redirect to direct PDF generation
Both fixes verified:
- "See this CV in Spanish" link: href="/?lang=es" ✓
- Download link: filename=cv-jamr-2025-en.pdf ✓
UX Improvement:
- Added visual feedback during PDF generation process
- Users now see immediate response when clicking download button
- Clear communication about what's happening during the wait
New Features:
- Loading overlay with animated spinner
- Format-specific estimated generation times (Short: ~3s, Default: ~4s, Long: ~8s)
- Blur effect on modal background during loading
- Bilingual support (English/Spanish)
- Automatic modal close after download completes
CSS Updates (static/css/04-interactive/_modals.css):
- Added .pdf-loading-overlay with glassmorphism effect
- Spinning animation for loader (1s linear infinite)
- Fade-in animation (300ms)
- Accessibility: respects prefers-reduced-motion
- Background blur when loading active
HTML Updates (templates/partials/modals/pdf-modal.html):
- Loading overlay structure with spinner
- Dynamic loading messages based on selected format
- Enhanced downloadPDF() function with timing logic
Before: Click → silence → download appears
After: Click → overlay + spinner + estimate → download appears
Problem: Inline icons embedded in responsibilities, courses, and
projects had explicit width='60' height='60' attributes that made
them too large (60px instead of ~16px).
Solution:
- Added CSS with !important to override inline width/height attributes
- Targeted inline icons in:
* Course responsibilities and descriptions
* Project descriptions and technologies
* Experience responsibilities (within divs)
- Preserved large icons (80px) for main company/course/project logos
Changes:
- static/css/03-components/_courses.css: Override to 1.2em
- static/css/03-components/_projects.css: Override to 1.2em
- static/css/03-components/_cv-section.css: Override to 1.2em
Test Results:
✅ 7 course inline icons: 16px × 16px
✅ Main company icons: 80px × 80px (preserved)
