PURPOSE
As new features are about to land in survey, notably live interactions [1]
and new survey building [2] performing a pre cleaning is necessary. In this
PR we clean survey models by: removing unnecessary fields, cleaning some code
and finally renaming models.
SPECIFICATIONS: QUESTION FIELD ON SURVEY.SURVEY
On survey.survey, remove question field, unnecessary related on title.
Question model holds two fields for its title: ``title`` and ``question``.
Question is simply a related on title, making the two fields completely
redundant. It is mainly due to historical reasons, when updating models for
certifications and eLearning. In this commit we keep only title field and
remove the question related field as it adds unnecessary complexity to the
model.
SPECIFICATIONS: INPUT_TYPE FIELD ON SURVEY.USER_INPUT
On survey.user_input, remove input_type and its garbage collect.
``input_type`` field exists on user input model to tell whether answer has
been created through invite or through manual click on a survey page. It
has been added a long time ago when surveys were either open to everyone,
either closed and on invite only.
Since eLearning and certification surveys access mode on surveys has evolved.
Notably being able to distinguish invite from manual survey user input is not
necessary anymore. Indeed what is important is the way people can reach the
survey, not how they created their user input.
Invitation creates token and this can be used if people effectively want to
find invitation-related user inputs.
Since 09ea5c7d49d544927542130078ab6e3ad5b70584 manual entries still in draft are garbage collected.
Reason is still unclear as it is not obvious that tons of unnecessary entries
will be created. As this seems like unnecessary optimization this commit
removes that feature along with the input_type field.
SPECIFICATIONS: REPLACE URLS FIELDS BY METHODS ON SURVEY.{SURVEY, USER_INPUT}
On survey.{survey, user_input}, remove url fields replaced by methods
In this commit we remove some remaining of URL fields that are better found
using methods. Both survey and user input holds a "start" url field that is
replaced by a method call ``get_start_url`` on both survey (generic) and
user input (token specific) models. We also introduced a ``get_print_url``
method doing the same for the printable version of survey / user input.
SPECIFICATIONS: REMOVE CATEGORY FIELD ON SURVEY.SURVEY
On survey.survey, remove unused category field.
Survey model holds a ``category`` field whose purpose is to be able to somehow
categorize surveys according to their use. However using this field is not
easy as it is hidden and is a simple selection field. Module should add their
own key. Its sole use is in ``hr_recruitment_survey`` which is a niche module.
Let us clean models and lessen model complexity.
