Above sub-query in a form of a patch:
Nice. I won’t be working on this today so if Robert or someone else wants to take over for a bit then by all means go for it. I hadn’t thought about the Create button problem and agree it should work like the Add New Author button (or, if the Input box remains, jump straight to the Edit step like the Links panel does).
I don’t mind either way: single button-to-edit-step (probably best) or Button-plus-control that jumps to the Edit step. Whichever it is, we should probably standardise it on the links panel too.

Speaking of links and Users panel; shouldn’t those be links too?
They were in an earlier version but (istr, might be wrong) Phil preferred buttons and didn’t want to hack a link in CSS to make it look like a button.
It doesn’t bother me at all. Spin the wheel and choose. Link… button… link… button. Whoever commits it to core, these are the places it affects:
- Admin List panel
- Section List panel
- Links list panel
- Comments list panel (show banned IPs)
I think that’s it, from memory.

I would say yes, just plain nav tertiary links, but Stef did those buttons so maybe there’s a reason they had to be Individual forms? I’ll ask.

Hehe, OK maybe it was me! I’ve lost the plot with all the back and forth in code. Just choose the best method and go for it.
EDIT: actually it might have been a holdover from when the Form had an input box as well and I just removed the box but left the rest in place.

I’d rather they were links, not buttons, without forms. Cheers.

Sweet. Apologies for the screwup.

Re: r3822/3: New Sections panel
Nice. But I’d suggest putting ‘article count’ column between ‘title’ and ‘page’ columns. Seems a more logical flow to me.

Re: r3822/3: New Sections panel
I don’t think so.
Most of the time when I visit the sections tab I’m about to look into a section’s native properties. Article count is a “nice to have” neatly tucked away in the far right when I’m in need of that information but doesn’t interfere with the “real” section properties.

Ok. Fine by me.

Re: r3822/3: New Sections panel
Since the article counts link to search pages, there is the small issues of results showing articles from other sections than just the one. E.g. search for section m shows articles from sections misc, media and home.
Looking at the search functions, the admin-side searches do not support quoted search terms as does <txp:article/>. Shouldn’t it? If quoting support is added (e.g. crit="m"), quoted section searches could also be used for the article counts. Doesn’t sound bad, right?

Re: r3822/3: New Sections panel
Hmm, is that me, or does the lang file still need updating for the latest changes? When I go to the Sections pane, a couple of strings still are displayed as, e.g ‘create_section’, ‘default_write_section’, and so on. Similar on the edit pane for images (‘edit_image’) and files.

Yeah, it needs updating.

Ok, thanks. I suddenly though something was wrong with the update process on my side. No worries then.

Re: r3822/3: New Sections panel
On the individual section page, shouldn’t there be a “cancel” or back button? Its not safe to assume a user will wish to only “save”.
