Re: Collapse section options
Steve, I think Peter meant that the “Type” column still remains then simply distinguish the “blocks” with alternating backgrounds.

Re: Collapse section options
The use of headings and grouping would be good improvement. The ‘too much space’ argument is not real. Too the contrary. Having all those forms grouped would allow for a simple show/hide toggle to keep the overall list visually short (similar to the left column on the ‘write’ pane).
@ Steve Lam; your sections pane plugin is fun, but I soon got tired of the slide-in effect; I changed it to a simple toggle(). ;-)

agreed. i don’t see any point in changing the background for only comment and link forms. that doesn’t help organization nor consistent in any way. the entire ‘type’ column is really quite useless and just single headings for each is much more clean. plus, this leads the way to fun little collapsible plugins :P
i’ve already hacked my core to get that layout, and guiguibonbon has submitted a patch to the devs for possible inclusion. if for some reason it doesn’t make it through, its quite a simple change to the form_list() function in txp_form.php that shouldn’t affect anything else at all.

good good! i use it myself without the animation as well. i also have it so expanding one section doesn’t close all the others as i’m sure viewing more than one section at a time comes in handy as well.

Re: Collapse section options
Change form_list() to this (in the /textpattern/include/txp_form.php file):
function form_list($curname)
{
global $step,$essential_forms;
$out[] = startTable('list');
$out[] = tr(tda(sLink('form','form_create',gTxt('create_new_form')),' colspan="3" style="height:30px"'));
$methods = array('delete'=>gTxt('delete'));
$rs = safe_rows_start("*", "txp_form", "1 order by type asc, name asc");
$oldtype = '';
if ($rs) {
while ($a = nextRow($rs)){
extract($a);
if ($type != $oldtype)
$out[] = assHead($type,'');
$editlink = ($curname!=$name)
? eLink('form','form_edit','name',$name,$name)
: htmlspecialchars($name);
$modbox = (!in_array($name, $essential_forms))
? '<input type="checkbox" name="selected_forms[]" value="'.$name.'" />'
: '<input type="checkbox" disabled="disabled" />';
$out[] = tr(td($editlink).td($modbox));
$oldtype = $type;
}
$out[] = endTable();
$out[] = eInput('form').sInput('form_multi_edit');
$out[] = graf(selectInput('edit_method',$methods,'',1).sp.gTxt('selected').sp.
fInput('submit','form_multi_edit',gTxt('go'),'smallerbox')
, ' align="right"');
return form( join('',$out),'',"verify('".gTxt('are_you_sure')."')" );
}
}and add this at the end of textpattern.css (or replace the existing rules) :
table#list th, table#list td {
padding: 1px 5px;
text-align: left;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
line-height:2;
}
table#list th {
vertical-align: bottom;
background:#eee;

I agree about changing multiple sections Mike though now that they’ve stopped the page jumping to the top when you save it is a little easier.
Agreed – That was a much appreciated improvement.
