Requirements:
- parametres.php toggle: 'restricted_files_enabled' enables/disables the feature
- Public TFE page: when enabled + access_type=Interne, hides files, shows French
restriction message + access request form (metadata/synopsis still visible)
- ERG emails (@erg.school / @erg.be): auto-approve, send 24h access link immediately
- External emails: show justification textarea, create pending request, notify admin
- Admin panel /admin/file-access.php: approve/reject requests with optional notes,
sends access email on approval (linked from admin nav with pending count badge)
Security:
- One-time 24h email tokens (used_at + is_valid=0 on first click)
- Token redeemed via POST /validate-access (GET shows confirmation page only)
- Long-lived 30-day browser session in file_access_sessions table
- Cookie: HttpOnly + Secure + SameSite=Strict
- CSRF on all mutations, rate limiting on request submission
- Audit trail: IP, UA, event, timestamp in file_access_audit
Bug fixes:
- admin/file-access.php: $vars never extract()ed → page was blank
- Template had self-contained head/footer includes (double-include)
- Admin approval URL used $requestId instead of $request['thesis_id']
- App::boot() now starts session so CSRF token works on public pages
- Dispatcher routes /validate-access and /request-access through front controller
- repertoire-index.php: add $colHasMatches per-column guard.
Entries in a column are only faded when that column has at least one
matched entry in the current result set. When a dimension has no
matched entries (e.g. no thesis has orientation_id set yet), the
entire column stays fully interactive — all values remain clickable.
This fixes: empty columns, forced single-select, cascade fading.
- Database.php: revert allAp/allOr/allFi to full lookup-table queries
so all known values are always shown (not just ones linked to theses).
- common.css: body is now a flex column; main gets flex:1 + min-height:0;
header-search-wrap gets flex-shrink:0; duplicate html/body blocks merged.
- public.css: removed redundant top-level main block; home-main gets min-height:0.
- repertoire.css: search-main gets min-height:0 for proper flex scroll.
- checkbox-list.php: support $required prop → adds required + aria-required on fieldset
- add.php: languages checkbox now marked required (matches server-side validation)
- partage/index.php: same for student form
- admin.css: dashed border on required inputs, bold labels, red asterisk via :has(), "Champs obligatoires" note
- Both forms now show "* Champs obligatoires" note at top
Server-side required fields = titre, auteurice, synopsis, année, orientation, ap, finality, languages (≥1), access_type_id, confirmation_email. All now have required attribute + visual asterisk.
- Add dedicated 'confirmation_email' (type=email, required) field
to student form at end of submission (partage + admin).
- ThesisCreateController now validates it is present and a valid
email; form is rejected if missing/invalid.
- Autofocus mapping for confirmation_email errors.
- StudentEmail uses confirmation_email directly (removed extractEmail
hack that mined email from free-form contact field).
