Let's make sure that all forms generated are complete and well formed and then use JS and CSS to control their display and behavior in different contexts.
1) separate the classes that are generated by the Menu class from what is used for the rendering. The classes that are generated are gMenu, gMenuElement, and gMenuDialog for the Menu, Menu_Element and MenuDialog classes respectively.
2) Changed the ui.init.js to add the appropriate rendering classes to the above classes. All gMenu elements have the sf-menu class added. All elements of class gMenuDialog have the gDialogLink class added.
3) Use Superfish for the menus so they now float properly.
GET /controller -> controller::_index()
POST /controller -> controller::_create()
GET /controller/id -> controller::_show()
PUT /controller/id -> controller::_update()
DELETE /controller/id -> controller::_delete()
GET /form/edit/controller/resource_id -> controller::_form()
GET /form/add/controller/data -> controller::_form()
1) Changed the way that we get forms. Now, if you want to get a form
for a REST resource you prefix /form to the resource id. So:
/form/photo/1 : returns a form for editing photo id 1
/form/comments/1 : returns a form for adding a comment to photo id 1
/form/comment/1 : returns a form for editing comment id 1
2) Changed the comment module to have two controllers:
comment: deals with a single comment resource
comments: deal with collections of comments attached to an item
Related stuff:
- Moved the comments js into the theme
- Reworked Comment_Helper for clarity
- Moved form generation code down into Comment_Helper
- Cleaned up routes (eliminating new comment ones added in recent rev)
- Added form() function to all REST controllers
- Changed comment module to use a block instead of an arbitrary helper call from the theme
- Comment controller only returns HTML currently, but returns a 201 Created status
code when a new comment is added, which the Ajax code can catch and act upon.
- Got rid of a lot of extra views in comment module
* Remove user registration link and popup from the theme; this
shouldn't be done in a popup. Use ajaxform to simplify the way
that we load the login popup.
* Create form.html.php, this is a template for Forge based forms.
* Move user validation rules into User_Model and let forms
populate the rules into their forms as useful.
* Undo r18688's changes regarding the REST code. We should never
accept a null resource, this breaks the REST abstraction.
* Change login and user controllers to use Forge which lets us delete
login.html.php and user.html.php since those now are generated by
the theme-owned form template
