True. Or what about a Constraint? Or is this not an appropriate place for it?

Could be cool to have, but I’m not sure if it’s really needed. As pages and styles go, you can’t actually change public-facing template or style loading, making extending of those two rather pointless. Maybe Articles panel can benefit from constraints, but I don’t think much else can.

And how did the case statements ever work with semicolons instead of colons?!

That’s PHP and its inconsistent alternative syntax structures for you.

Ah, it’s the input name, page. The multi-edit select for Uses Page option is named page, but it is reserved/used by pagination too, and the edited section gets a page number instead of page template. The multi-edit option’s name needs to be changed. Might not be a bad idea also to verify the values.

Right, thanks for debugging! Following r3877, this now works correctly.

And fwiw, I haven’t found any more issues :-).

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

Hi.

Back home now and sifting through all the work that’s been done.

The categories page potentially has multiple instances of id="multi-option-changeparent" which needs to be addressed.

Best I can do is add a static numeric counter to the end of the ID in the multi_edit function. It’ll seem a bit weird to have multi-edit-changeblah-1 on pages that only have one control, but does that cause any problems? Or is there a better solution I’m not seeing?

EDIT: or add an optional select_id attribute to the args in multi_edit() which is mixed into the default ID somewhere. e.g. multi-option-changeparent-article (if function supplied with article as the select_id parameter).

EDIT2: OK, that last one works better. I’ll stick with that for now.

I would have gone with the first one personally. Please note that the IDs are temporary and nothing outside the multi-edit controller can use those (not w/ event based hacks). If you check the page with a DOM inspector you will see that the .multi-option blocks and IDs aren’t actually even present in the document. They are not stored as hidden blocks in the page, but in memory by JavaScript.

The best option might actually be use randomized IDs altogether. The $methods are in order, and indexes could be used the IDs. Appending an static instance number to IDs would avoid collisions.

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

Btw, the categories panel is broken.

The IDs are used to link the .multi-option blocks to the edit_method options. The IDs are named after the values. Since they don’t match, the categories panel doesn’t work.

These changes would require that the scripts functionality is changed too in some form. Which is why I was suggesting the random ID thing. Since you have an random ID consistently present, the ID can be broken apart correctly.

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

I will send a patch soon. It will contain some other optimizations too to the multi-edit jQuery plugin. Wait for half an hour or so.

It basically changes the thing to work with classes instead of IDs. This solves all the collisions issues. Instead of the JavaScript picking .multi-options it uses the actual <option> elements to trace the steps from markup. When 4.6 and HTML5 lands, those classes could be changed to data- attributes even simplifying the logic even more.

Other changes are some basic cleanup and small fixes. Main thing is that it now prevents hooking with addOption() method to the default empty option (by accident) as that would just cause a loop of confirmation dialogs if anything. It also merges two almost identical condition blocks used for shift+click. Just reverses the booleans in props and likes, leading to much shorter code in that scenario.

Re: New sections tab, multi-edit control block

If you are wondering why the diff is as big as it is, is because I removed my auto-indents. In Textpattern’s source empty lines aren’t leveled, so I decided to remove those extra indentations to match the general styling.
