Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
All
v0.3.138 is here, including a couple of additional bugfixes for…
- the no-additional-fields when creating a section bug,
- the loss of existing data when sections are renamed.
It includes some updated help text too.
Now on to version 0.4 with optional new layout for the Presentation > Sections tab!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
All
Here’s my first shot at sed_section_fields.v0.4.143.gzip.txt which should allow you a different take on the Presentation > Sections screen.
To activate the new layout: go to Admin > Preferences > Advanced and scroll down until you find the sed_sf section. Enable the option and save the page. Navigate to the sections tab and let me know if it works or fails.
Please test the following…
- Creation of new sections (should take you to the new section’s entry)
- Deletion of sections (should take you to the default entry)
- Saving of section (should take you to page-top and show the saved section’s entry)
- Renaming of a section (should retain all data and take you to page-top)
I’m wondering how usable the section index is for sites with large numbers of sections. Whilst I’m sure it will be better than the plain vanilla layout, I’m wondering if jQuery could even paginate the index. Hmmm… that will have to wait for another day.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
Hi Steve, Installed and followed the instructions but get a completely blank screen when in sections. You’re welcome to the login to my text site if that will help.
Best wishes

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
Lee
thank you, questions…
- what version of textpattern are you on?
- is sed_plugin_library v0.4 installed?
- did you have v0.3 installed previously or v0.2 or is this a totally new installation on your site?
- are you running in live/testing or debugging mode?
You can send me a login if you still have my email — otherwise the contact form should do it. But I’m off to bed very soon so tomorrow or Wednesday will be more realistic.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
1. Version 4.06
2. sed_plugin_library v0.4 is installed now – it wasn’t before
3. New install
4. Live
With the library installed I’m now getting the normal section screen, not the new fancy one.

Ok, Did you go to Admin > Preferences > Advanced and enable the new layout under the “sed_sf” group without forgetting to save the page?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] sed_section_fields
Looks really tidy!
I’ve tested happily: Passed! :)
What does “Treat as a static section?” do?
Show all/Hide all comes close to my proposition. Nice!
Thanks, Steve!

When it’s checked the section is not showing in the section drop down list in the “write” page.
This is very useful if you have some sections as “search” or “archive” in which normally you won’t create articles and that you don’t want to even show to, say, a publisher of the site.
IMHO this will increase usability and ease of use for your “clients”.
