Changing the view document page in manager

Hi folks,

I was thinking about chnaging the view document page in the manager to add a tab in which if the document is a container we will list all its children.

According to me it would be relevant and handy to know how many childs has a container.
When you have thousand docs it would give a better view of the content
I’ve started to look at the code and it doesn’t seem too difficult to do it.;

What do you think about the idea?
If you want I can try to make the changes.

:-)

done !

Is anybody interested in these changes ?

:-)

That’s quite handy indeed! I’m interested. Care to add the missing introtext and other meta data fields as well to the general tab?

I’ll look into it this afternoon.

Could someone explain me how to enable the first tab when the page is reloading.

For instance, as the edit page counts more tabs than the view page, if when i’m saving I was in the third tab then the view page will be in the third wich doesn’t exist (does it make sense )

I’d like to check first if the tab exists if not fall back to the first.

Any idea.

:-)

Nice work, heliotrope!

For the tab thing, check the tab page class - there is a cookie that gets set that saves which tab is active and, IIRC, you can pass a variable in to make it not use the cookie and therefore it will always activate the first tab in load.

Very nice Heliotrope! i love this add

Thx for your kind comments.

here is the final version of the mod.



Before posting the files:

@Ryan : the general tab now displays the meta tags and introtext
Do you have some preference about the output, I mean would you like to see more than the name (tag, tagValue, http-equiv)

I’m being writing the changelog.
As I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel, I’m using the jason’s maketableclass to render the table.
I’ve added the file in /manager/includes/extenders.
Is that all right for you ?

I’ve also added three entries in lang file, here they are:

$_lang["view_childs_documents_in_container"] = "View childrens";
$_lang["documents_in_container"] = "documents in this container";
$_lang["no_documents_in_container"] = "This container has not yet childrens.";

I’m still struggling with the cookie stuff right now, hope I could find how to deal with it.

:-)

Awesome! Awesome! .......

here are the modified files

Changelog: document_data.static.php

- Added Jason’s maketable.class.php in /manager/includes/extenders/
- Changed in maketable.class line to skip class="clearfix" and added global $_lang support

- Added these lines in english.inc.php (mods start at line 207)
$_lang["view_childs_documents_in_container"] = "View childrens";
$_lang["documents_in_container"] = "documents in this container";
$_lang["no_documents_in_container"] = "This container has not yet childrens.";
$_lang["pagination_table_first"] = "First";
$_lang["pagination_table_last"] = "Last";
$_lang["pagination_table_gotopage"] = "Go to page";
$_lang["pagination_table_perpage"] = "per page";

- Added some css in style.css for table pagination (at the bottom of the file)

- Modified viewdata to display introtext / metatags, added tab view child list.
The create bar (document & weblink) will not be displayed if user has no right to create
The edit edit bar will not be displayed if user has no right to edit.

TODO / IMPROVE

I have been unable to deal with the cookie stuff from tabpane.
So I’m forcing it to display the "View childrens" tab except when isfolder=0 or webfxtab_documentPane>1 (when you save document from meta or preview tab)

It would be nice if someone more experienced could fix it.


:-)

EDIT : forgot to remove per page in maketable class. post back files in one minute.
done !

About the tabs, it seems to me that I need to create my own webfx instance to avoid conflict with the existings ones (docmanager, docpane, ...)

Am I on the right way ?
