Re: RFC: Textpattern 5 ideas & feature requests
I’ve made a start on nomenclature diagrams for 4.9-dev.
I’m a visual thinker, and have struggled to get the big picture of our admin structure from the code alone. Its clearer for me now (so far its considerably more consistent than I first thought :).
The colours represent what I see as core functional groups which can form the basis of a new sass/css structure. Watch this space…

Curious to see it.
It’s still based on v4.88 (I’m using a large / representative site on my Mac as test content). I’ll publish an easily-accessible plain html version soon.
I tried to upgrade the site to the latest 4.9 beta 2, but I get a shitload of fatal errors on the ‘public-facing’ site. Is this likely due to my having shortcodes in some excerpt fields?

Oh? What are they complaining about? I doubt shortcodes alone would trigger a fatal error.

I’ve reverted to 4.8.8 and will try again…
My liberally-used image-orientation<txp:php> snippet became very unpopular!

I’d say yes, given how precisely spaces are defined in
Sandspacetheme :-)
They are sure, just a bit of one css variable to control it all. But for that widget… hold on… I see, for my personal use it has the width set anyway.
If we change this select box as you suggest, it will leave a large gap between the textfilter in
Textilemode and the preview button in our current layout. That’s easy to fix with a bit of js, but it would be reinventing the jQuery UI wheel.
Or not, I am seriously thinking that for accessibility reason alone, those “faceless” / “minimal UI” select widget should have more UI than now. I think I’add back some border and rounded of corners – similar to the full UI <select />, but toned down.
As for that JQUI created widget, it does have some confusing accessiblity. After the script has run, you get:
<label for="ui-id-3-button">Format:
<select class="jquery-ui-selectmenu ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content" id="ui-id-3" style="display: none;" role="menu" tabindex="0"><option data-id="0" class="ui-menu-item">Leave text untouched</option>
<option data-id="2" class="ui-menu-item">Convert line breaks</option>
<option data-id="1" data-help="&#160;<a rel="help" title="Help" role="button" target="_blank" href="https://textpattern.com/textile-sandbox"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-extlink">Help</span></a>" selected="selected" class="ui-menu-item">Textile</option></select>
<span tabindex="0" id="ui-id-3-button" role="combobox" aria-expanded="false" aria-autocomplete="list" aria-owns="ui-id-3-menu" aria-haspopup="true" class="ui-selectmenu-button ui-selectmenu-button-closed ui-corner-all ui-button ui-widget" aria-activedescendant="ui-id-25" aria-labelledby="ui-id-25" aria-disabled="false"><span class="ui-selectmenu-icon ui-icon ui-icon-triangle-1-s"></span><span class="ui-selectmenu-text">Textile</span></span><input class="textfilter-value" name="textile_body" type="hidden" value="1"></label>There are in fact multiple <label /> the first (outer) one linked to absolutely nothing.

A good idea. Thanks for that.

The id attributes are being added later and for some reason <label for="ui-id-3-button"> then refers to the span which appears on click rather than the select. As the span is not a form element, the browser complains.

Re: RFC: Textpattern 5 ideas & feature requests
My feature request / idea is that config.php be moved from the /textpattern directory and into something else, like /static or /engaged or /donterasethis.
Because when one copies over an upgraded version, there is a good chance that one will also write over the config file.
If the /files and /images directories could be moved in there too, that’d also be great for my ten-years-ago self.

Here’s a proposed directory structure moving forward. Not sure how achievable it is, but that’s more closely aligned with the multi-site layout and has lots of nice little wins about it.

Another feature request: have any admin-related css variables appear in the Presentation: Style page for direct editing (or maybe its better in Admin: UI Styling).

Not sure if it still works, but smd_admin_themes has some of this functionality. Happy to update it when the dust settles on the core CSS variables that Oleg is implementing this week.

Are there plans to ditch/simplify thumbnail creation in the images tab? On many sites I hide the thumbnail creation widget with css so that users can’t experiment/throw a spanner in the works…
