Addresses #260, Add auto-complete to search window
- New XPCOM autocomplete component for Zotero data -- can be used by setting the autocompletesearch attribute of a textbox to 'zotero' and passing a search scope with the autocompletesearchparam attribute. Additional parameters can be passed by appending them to the autocompletesearchparam value with a '/', e.g. 'tag/2732' (to exclude tags that show up in item 2732)
- Tag entry now uses more or less the same interface as metadata -- no more popup window -- note that tab isn't working properly yet, and there's no way to quickly enter multiple tags (though it's now considerably quicker than it was before)
- Autocomplete for tags, excluding any tags already set for the current item
- Standalone note windows now register with the Notifier (since tags needed item modification notifications to work properly), which will help with #282, "Notes opened in separate windows need item notification"
- Tags are now retrieved in alphabetical order
- Scholar.Item.replaceTag(oldTagID, newTag), with a single notify
- Scholar.getAncestorByTagName(elem, tagName) -- walk up the DOM tree from an element until an element with the specified tag name is found (also checks with 'xul:' prefix, for use in XBL), or false if not found -- probably shouldn't be used too widely, since it's doing string comparisons, but better than specifying, say, nine '.parentNode' properties, and makes for more resilient code
A few notes:
- Autocomplete in Minefield seems to self-destruct after using it in the same field a few times, taking down saving of the field with it -- this may or may not be my fault, but it makes Zotero more or less unusable in 3.0 at the moment. Sorry. (I use 3.0 myself for development, so I'll work on it.)
- This would have been much, much easier if having an autocomplete textbox (which uses an XBL-generated popup for the suggestions) within a popup (as it is in the independent note edit panes) didn't introduce all sorts of crazy bugs that had to be defeated with annoying hackery -- one side effect of this is that at the moment you can't close the tags popup with the Escape key
- Independent note windows now need to pull in itemPane.js to function properly, which is a bit messy and not ideal, but less messy and more ideal than duplicating all the dual-state editor and tabindex logic would be
- Hitting tab in a tag field not only doesn't work but also breaks things until the next window refresh.
- There are undoubtedly other bugs.
- About panel now gets version number automatically
- Change version from 1.0a1 to 1.0b1
* Important: If you're on an SVN install, you need to rename the scholar@chnm.gmu.edu text file in your profile extension directory to zotero@chnm.gmu.edu *
XPI installs will (I think) update automatically, since I kept an entry in updates.rdf with the old GUID
- Added support for tabbing between fields, which unfortunately we don't get for free from tabindex because of what we're doing with labels and textboxes. (The textbox being tabbed away from is deleted before the blur() completes, so it doesn't know where it's supposed to go next.) Basically replicated the built-in functionality for all the text fields -- can add on special tricks for creator adding/removing later.
- Increased spacing between rows slightly and adjusted margins to get rid of shifting when switching between label and textbox -- this also fixes the annoying clicking-off-a-textbox-to-the-lower-portion-of-a-label-below-it-doesn't-select-the-label problem.
The problem was twofold: 1) onselect="ScholarItemPane.loadPane(this.selectedIndex)" is (for some reason) triggered when clicking off of the "+" creator add button onto the rest of the deck pane (and not just when switching tabs) and 2) the selectedIndex passed into loadPane() from the deck during the non-tab triggers is (for some reason) an empty string rather than the index of the selected tab, which is why the creator problem only used to happen the first time you clicked away from a "+" (before the empty string was stored as a key in the _loaded array). (In short, onselect for decks is pretty broken.)
Now only calling loadPane if (this.selectedIndex!=='') -- can't just test for typeof=='number' because this.selectedIndex on the deck is always a string
refs #179 and #190
(Also fixes bug from r379 where changing creator type on a blank unsaved creator would actually insert "(first)" and "(last)")
Localized '(first)' and '(last)'
Refs #179, adding a new creator then clicking an existing creator makes the creator field disappear
Fixed a number of creator-editing-related issues (mostly interface-side, with a little help from the data layer):
- New row no longer disappears when clicking "+" and then clicking the existing or new creator (removed onselect="ScholarItemPane.loadPane(this.selectedIndex)" on the <deck> (from r371, with changelog "Individual tabs don't load their content unless selected"), which doesn't seem to be necessary as far as I can tell)
- New row no longer disappears when changing creator before editing names (setting the creator type now triggers an Item.save() with an otherwise blank creator (now allowed by the data layer), which isn't entirely ideal but is probably OK for now)
- Clicking the minus button on an unsaved row (i.e. one just created with the plus button) no longer throws an error (new method Item.hasCreatorAt(pos), and ScholarItemPane.removeCreator() just deletes the label directly, since it doesn't get a notify() event to reload the pane)
- The plus button is disabled on unsaved rows, since allowing the user to create multiple unsaved rows and then edit one in the middle is problematic (and the other alternatives have their own problems); the minus button is also disabled on the default row that shows when there are no creators
- Creator type is no longer reset when editing a name field
- Name field is no longer erased when clicking directly on creator type popup and changing creator type without blurring textbox
- Comma is appended to last name when switching from <textbox> to <label> without saving changes (before it was just appended to labels when the pane was loaded)
Added isUTC parameter to Scholar.Date.sqlToDate() and now run the two columns through that
Side effect: now using toLocaleString() to format the date strings
If you have attachments to the old terminology, feel free to file a complaint.
Changed interface code too, since David is gone (or at the very least has more important things to do with his remaining time)
Addresses #169, add OpenURL interface hooks
Addresses #170, Put "Link" option before "Import" in drop-down menu
Fixes some advanced search flaws (there are still bugs)
Closes#128, Display files as children of item in items list
Fixes#132, On Full-screen mode, browser content disappears but Scholar content does not stretch.
Fixes#133, When Scholar on top, pane automatically resizes depending on item info height.
Fixes#115, Windows should open with Scholar Pane closed.
Fixes#105, search box loses focus after search starts.
Retooled the interface a bit, and removed the top toolbar. The close and fullscreen buttons are located to the right of the items toolbar. The item pane cannot be collapsed.
closes#26, notes list in notes pane
closes#79, add icons for new object types
fixes#71, Metadata pane should be refreshed on a notify() event for the selected item
- Added methods getID(idOrName) and getName(idOrName) to Scholar.CreatorTypes and Scholar.ItemTypes to take either typeID or typeName
- Removed getTypeName() in each and changed references accordingly
- Streamlined both classes to be as similar as possible
- Fix item modify notify() on 1st row.
- Ensure that new items are visible when added.
- New functionality for creating new items (prevents a lot of problems).
- Number-based fields display properly.
- Fixed bug when creating and saving the first notes on an item.
- New notes won't save empty.
[fix] You shouldn't lose your changes if you select another item in the middle of editing a field.
[fix] The dropdown menu to select notes doesn't steal the focus
[interface] Multi-notes functionality (waiting on data layer)
[docs] Major internal documentation written for itemTreeView.js and collectionTreeView.js (this actually does work ;-))
[Drag and Drop] in Items Tree: You can drag items from one window into another, directly into the Items list.
[Editing] Close the edit box and save when you click on its label
The collections list does not resize randomly now.
The pane on the right stays open all the time - even when 0/multiple items are selected. This is to avoid frequent resizing of the items pane.
Temporarily, if the first "word" of a field's value is more than 29 characters long, it will set it to crop. This is for the long URLs, etc.
[style] Better add/remove Creator buttons.
[fix] The sorting should not randomly switch the order of two items with the same sort value (eg, Barnes vs. Barnes).
[fix] The browser should not open with two sorted columns.
