Cheers, Red! I’d be glad to be your laboratory rodent, too, if it helps Science in any way.

The admin-side flat HTML mockups in my github repo might help if you are considering an update to bot_write_tab_customise …

Thanks Phil!
It will help for sure, even if I think it will take some time.
BTW I can’t wait to try the new themes, they look gorgeous!

Re: bot_write_tab_customize: rearrange and style items in the write tab

Version 0.7.2 is out.
This release should work with the new textpatttern 4.5.

A note on upgrade
Since some ids and classes in txp 4.5 are changed, if you are upgrading from a previous version you have to delete and rewrite some rules manually (I should have written an upgrade script but this is a quickier way).
In particular you have to rewrite only the rules containing these items:

  • article navigation
  • more
  • comments
  • save|publish

Until I receive some feedback I’ll consider this a beta version. If it is confirmed to work I’ll update the download link in the first post.
Please let me know if everything works.

Download v. 0.7.2 here

Re: bot_write_tab_customize: rearrange and style items in the write tab

Always a wonderful plugin!

I only wish this plugin was called bot_write_customize, for documentation reasons. I won’t go into them unless you want me to. ;)

Yes please “go into them”, even if my embarassing english doesn’t let me understand well what you mean :(
Anyway I know this name is too long so I’m always shortening it to bot_wtc.
Now I’m wondering if “bot_wc” would be a decent name: where I’m living it could sound quite embarassing ;)

Of course yes: you flush what you no longer need.
Sorry. I go out.

Re: bot_write_tab_customize: rearrange and style items in the write tab

@Cebe: Perfect!

Yes, I’m happy with bot_wc too. Short and er… clean.

As for my reasons, it’s simply one of clarity and consistency in docs, both in my own client docs and wiki. Also a shorter name is nice too. I use “panel” in docs. “Tabs” only makes sense when you’re in context of the Classic theme, which I find is the one most of my clients don’t use. And speaking morphologically, a tab is just the little nub of paper having the label, it’s not really the inside of the folder where, in this case, it’s more like a “panel”, as one might think of a dashboard panel. I’ve tried using “view” and “screen” and “page” before too, but not ideal for obvious reasons. Clients seem to understand ‘panel’ just fine.

On the txp side of things, since there are more non-tabbed themes by default than tabbed, we’re going with ‘panels’ in the User Manual. It still needs to be combed, but the admin-side pages will probably be updated with new images eventually and editorial changes can be made then.

So, by just using bot_write_customize (or bot_wc) it eliminates any confusion by not using the term at all. And since you have ‘write’ there already, it designates the location well enough, IMO.

Please, carry on with normal plugin discussion, not this trivial divergence.
