Have you ever pursued a mind-reading career?

What about… derp. Multidimensional arrays:

Fits perfectly into the existing code base.

+		n.selectInput('edit_method', $methods, $method).

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

@philippe

I was suggesting the alt key and it’s PC equivalent.

If you all decide to keep the row one click select function then I’d like a preference added to turn that feature on/off too. With a default of off.

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

Here’s a patch that implements all of the current multi-edit code to the core and updates Sections panel to use it.

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

I’ve added couple new features to the jQuery plugin since I originally posted that patch. I’ve updated the above post’s diff to include these. Changes are also present in the git repo. These include:

  • Alt+Click option. By default turned on.
  • Option to strict clickable region to the checkbox. This could have done previously too by changing the selector in options object, but now there is a simple boolean toggle for disabling clickable rows (option is mainly targeted for plugins).

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

I’m away from computer for next couple of days but that sounds like it clears up any worries I had with the row selection. Personally, as long as the class names are correct I’d be more than happy with this being rolled into an svn patch. I can iron out any CSS issues at the weekend.

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

Gocom

That’s just too awesome. Code ninja!

In the interests of pluginisation of the multi-edit toolset, is this:

$argv = func_get_args();
return pluggable_ui($event.'_ui', 'multi_edit_form',
	'<div class="multi-edit">'.
	n.selectInput('edit_method', $methods, $method).
	n.eInput($event).
	n.sInput($step).
	n.hInput('page', $page).
	($sort ? n.hInput('sort', $sort).n.hInput('dir', $dir) : '' ).
	($crit !== '' ? n.hInput('crit', $crit).n.hInput('search_method', $search_method) : '').
	n.implode('', $html).
	n.fInput('submit', '', gTxt('go')).
	n.'</div>',
	$argv);

better / more desirable than this:

callback_event_ref($event.'_ui', 'multi_edit_options', 0, $options, $methods);
return '<div class="multi-edit">'.
	n.selectInput('edit_method', $methods, $method).
...

i.e. allow plugins to completely alter the multi-edit area, or only allow them to augment/edit the existing options, leaving the surrounding markup intact?

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

To me the second option sounds way better. By ten folds and more. While the surrounding callback is neat, it has very little to no use compared to a option that simply allows adding options. Referenced augmentations all the way.

Hmm, thinking about it, the callback should probably modify the $options array rather than the $methods array that contains the HTML markup. I.e.

callback_event_ref($event.'_ui', 'multi_edit_options', 0, &$options);
foreach($options as $value => $option) [...]

Ah yes, much better up there. Well spotted. Consider it done.

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

r3850.

Rollout will commence very soon across the other table-based panels, once the dust has settled and others have had a chance to weigh in on this one.

May I suggest one more thing? The “Toggle all” checkbox could set resp. unset its “checked” attribute when all resp. zero individual checkboxes are checked.

Good call. Here you go:

The patch fixes the select_all’s behavior so that the checkbox is checked when, and only when, all individual checkboxes are checked. In other words, it’s aware of changes and resets its state accordingly.

The patch also includes some minor fixes and performance improvements. For example it fixes an issue where submits buttons of sibling form’s where targeted and hidden too (could have potentially affect plugins w/ multiple list form instances on same page).

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

One very minor thing. After performing a multi-edit action, the multi-edit select list reverts to the first ‘empty’ item (“with_selected_option”) even though the ‘selected’ attribute is set to the last used action. No idea why. The only exception so far is on the txp_discuss page I’m just modding now, which does actually ‘remember’ the multi-edit action just used and pre-selects it. Which means if you want to perform it again on a different selection, you need to select another action, cancel the auto-submit, then re-select the thing that was pre-selected (because the ‘Go’ button is initially missing until the onchange fires).

It may be to do with the fact that txp_discuss doesn’t have any secondary actions. Can’t figure why the selected is honoured here and not on the other pages.

But anyway, I’m inclined to make the multi-edit always revert to the ‘with_selected_option’ empty item, because then the act of performing a multi-edit is definite (and the Go button behaves more predictably). Anyone see any problem with modding as follows:
