adi_form_links - Admin-side form links

gomedia · 2011-10-19 00:43:55

Summary

adi_form_links is another plugin designed to speed up workflow – from an idea by Edoardo.

It gives you a list of TXP forms referenced by the currently viewed Page or Form template. From this list you can then jump straight to the form edit/create tab.

See the help supplied with the plugin, or have a look online. You can download the latest version from here.

Screenshot

Textpack

You can install a Textpack from the adi_form_links options page under the Plugins tab. Corrections or additional language translations are most welcome and can be submitted here.

Currently the Textpack contains:

French (thanks Pat64)
German (thanks uli)
Polish (thanks BKawalec)

Requirements

Textpattern 4.7 or later.

Bug & Limitations

if your page or form contains TXP code with syntax errors then the form list may not work
forms are only recognised if the attribute names end with “form”, e.g. “form”, “listform”, “thanks_form” etc.

Absolute fuggin genius :)

I read the thread which started all this and didn’t understand what you were trying to achieve, but now – superb

Thanks to all involved :)

Useful for every TXP site I’ve built. Thanks, Adi.

A linked cheat sheet that you can throw on any existing TXP site!

I find adi_form_links incredibly useful especially if you have front-side page/form editing links and need to make quick changes on a site you built quite a while back so you can’t remember which form adds content to the form you’re just looking at.
Also, you don’t need to clutter or overlay your design with edit links for each form the (front side) page uses.

Thanks, Adi! :)

Hi Adi ;)

Here is a (possible) french translation for adi_form_links_super_usefull textpack file:

$adi_form_links_gtxt = array(
		'adi_edit_form' => 'Editer ce module',
		'adi_forms_referenced' => 'Modules associés ',
		'adi_forms_used' => 'Modules utilisés',
		'adi_link_list' => 'Liste de liens',
		'adi_list_format' => 'Format de la liste ',
		'adi_none_found' => 'Aucun résultat',
		'adi_pref_update_fail' => 'Echec de mise à jour des préférences',
		'adi_textpack_fail' => 'Echec d\'installation du Textpack (fichier de traduction)',
		'adi_textpack_feedback' => 'Commentaires sur le Textpack (fichier de traduction)',
		'adi_textpack_online' => 'Textpack est également disponible en ligne',
		'adi_update_prefs' => 'Mettre à jour les préférences',
	);

Cheers,

Uli – thanks for the German textpack

Pat64 – thanks for the French (I already had the last 5 phrases) and I hope I’ve preserved the “space before colon”!

tye, maruchan & mrdale – no excuses not to work faster now!

Adi,

This is fabulous. I’m in the midst of developing a complex site – this plugin is huge.

Hi Adi !
If the form doesn’t exist … fabulous !!!
:-)))))

Hi Adi,
Good plugin, unfortunately I do not use the back office to write the pages and modules. I use the plug’in cnk_versionning.

But I’m thinking if it is possible to create a form that would have the role of “Admin Links” with rvm_privileged: an area that lists a series of useful links, visible from the front pages:

Name of the template used with link to edit the template
Names of modules used with links to editing modules.

<txp:if_privileged level="1">
  <div id="admin_links>
    <txp:adi_page_link />
    <txp:adi_form_link />
  </div>
</txp:if_privileged>

Is this plug’in could be a basis for work?

Currently adi_form_links is very much geared up for life on the admin side of things. That said, it would not be beyond the bounds of possibility to extend it into the outside world. Current work commitments would preclude such an undertaking for the time being. Sorry.

I don’t use cnk_versioning, so excuse my ignorance, but my understanding of it is that pages/forms etc are stored as external files – so I’m not sure how I’d link to them anyway? Aren’t they edited using an external editor?

Version 0.2 available for download

ignore invalid form names
blacklist
tested on TXP 4.6

The first blighter for the blacklist is smd_wrap with its “transform” attribute. If anyone finds any others, please let me know.
