bot_wtc v8 for Textpattern v4.7 (beta)

jakob · 2018-03-26 21:22:32

IMPORTANT: This version is for Textpattern v4.7 only.

See this thread and this repo for bot_wtc v7.5 for Textpattern v4.6.2.

Here’s my next attempt at a 4.7-ready makeover of another vital plugin. I’ve jumped from the 0.x.x. straight to x.x. version numbering for simplicity as the plugin has been around for years.

Source here: github.com/jools-r/bot_wtc

Changes in this version

Write tab area classes and id updates to match Textpattern v4.7’s ‘Write’ panel layout revisions.
Revised custom field handling to reflect new UI pattern, including migration of previous settings on installation.
Revised ‘Write Tab Customize’ panel using txp’s in-built UI functions.
Compatibility with glz_custom_fields v2 for 4.7 (e.g. custom field titles).
Translatable UI text (see Textpack).
Error notices now use Txp’s own in-built messaging functions.
Revised help and examples.

Good to know

Please, please, please … back up your database beforehand so you can revert if necessary.
Reinstalling this version should trigger an update of the custom-field rules (hence having a backup is a good idea) which are now much simpler than before because each custom field has a named wrapper. Practically all of the other classes and ids are unchanged, so I haven’t corrected any other previous rules in the update routine. I suspect/hope that error messages should occur only in isolated cases. If so, simply delete the offending rule and reapply it.
This matches 4.7. beta.
Otherwise the basic handling, concept and UI mechanism is exactly as redbot had it before. I’ve only done some polishing.

Known issues

After saving an article on the write tab, some fields can re-appear (if previously hidden), lose their assigned class, or appear in duplicate when parts of the UI are refreshed by Textpattern. This does not happen in all situations but most commonly when elements have been moved outside their group. [EDIT: A fix for this has been added. Feedback welcome if problems still persist]

Credits

The original author redbot of course, and everyone else who has contributed over the years. I’m just standing on their shoulders.

Feedback

Feedback, improvements, better help examples always welcome. I’ll do what I can within reason.

As with glz_custom_fields, this plugin may become obsolete in future versions when custom fields become part of the core and perhaps acquire some conditional appearance behaviour.

I’ve added a tentative fix for the reappearing/disappearing fields after saving an article on the write tab, and updated the compiled plugins. It seems this problem also existed with the previous version of the plugin but few people noticed it as it’s really only an issue when you re-work and save an article several times without leaving the write pane. It could do with some testing, though, as it’s impossible to anticipate all kinds of articles.

I’ve also updated some of the language strings to match recent UI changes.

This being a beta version, I’ve not updated the version number, so if you’ve already downloaded it, please re-download from the address above.

A German textpack will follow soon. Translations in other languages welcome (here’s the English textpack).

Some small fixes made to this one too:

Fix for new grid-cell widths (late-breaking layout change in core)
Fix for all / none checkbox field states
Make section list checkbox labels clickable everywhere (input/label ids are now unique)

Seems to work well on TXP 4.7beta3. Just reporting.
I am wondering if “Hide sections in sections” dropdown could allow for separate privs for separate user groups, even including smd_user_manager compatible?
Just asking, or feature request.

I think there was another plugin that did this in a better way than bot_wtc. Have a look for mrd_for_yours_eyes_only – or something similar. As user privilege details don’t change mid-page on the fly, you can have a separate plugin modify the section dropdown widget when it is created instead of afterwards with jQuery.

Hi Julian,

I tested your last github code.
I notice some use case where the plugin still does not work.

Exemple :
Move a categorie field inside txp-image-group block (I know it’s not very logical, but it’s theoretically possible and need work).
After save, Txp rewite/reset HTML content of image-group. Result: categorie field disappears.

Actually, I don’t find a good JS solution for make btw working in all possibilities.

I don’t understand why Txp rewrite some DOM element and not just inject values in existing elements.
i will ask to core devs if it’s not possible to do something more clean and flexible.

Big thanks Patrick, I’ll incorporate that a.s.a.p.

When I get some time, I’ll see if I can resolve that too. As you say that is a highly unlikely, or even nonsensical situation. Was that just an example, or are there others so that one could tackle it in a more systematic way.

German and French textpacks now added. Big thanks to Uli and Patrick!

And a minor fix:

CTRL-S functionality restored for the main pane. Note that the advanced pane needs clicking manually (the problem was that there were two buttons with class ‘publish’ in different forms, confusing the keyboard shortcut). Thanks for spotting that Uli!

Mhm, I could not install the 0.8 version form github on a fresh 4.7 upgrade … would I need PHP7 for this to work?

Installation des Plugins bot_write_tab_customize ist fehlgeschlagen.

I tried both the zipped and unzipped versions …
0.7.5 appears to work fine though ,-)

jakob · 2018-05-16 09:42:52

0.7.5 is the old version for 4.6.2. I’ll have to try that on a fresh installation of the newest 4.7 final but I wasn’t aware of that.

On 4.7 with bot_wtc v8 i get an error after disabling and reenabling the plugin:

Notice "Undefined index: $(".custom-")" in /home/kliklak/public_html/infra/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1826) : eval()'d code at line 459.

and

textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1826) : eval()'d code:459 adminErrorHandler() textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1826) : eval()'d code:524 bot_contextual_selectinput() textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(1826) : eval()'d code:872 bot_wtc_output_rows() textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php:1945 bot_wtc_tab() textpattern/index.php:257 callback_event()

preexisting settings for my write tabs are only half existing and appear somehow garbled.

EDIT: Tried several times now, the error reappears after disabling/reenabling plugin.
