Machine name not editable if every character is replaced.

If the entire string is transliterated to the replacement '_', the machinename edit link does not appear.

лллллллллллллллллллл -> no edit link
ллллллллллллллллллллa -> machinename appears

Attached patch always shows the suffix.

Without tabs.

Note that this will not show a transliteration. It will show the machine name edit link all the time, to allow one to set the machine name manually.

Sorry, but is this fix available for Drupal 7.x? And by the way, what's the difference between the two patches you provided? (759 bytes and 757 bytes?)

#1 contained a tab instead of spaces (as indicated in #2).

The patch applies to Drupal 7.x-dev with a slight offset.

Patch still applies to D8.

Patch seems fine, I think we need manual testing here.

Why not expand it directly.

Show my idea only, JS code needs improves.

- Show edit button:
user may leave as it (think that system use default value), so gets error.

- Show inputs "*" (Mandatory field)
empty value, they try to type in something.

This has pretty serious implications for sites using non-unicode character sets (see discussion in #1164812: Improve UX for machine names for fields.), so increasing the priority.

I'm not sure about the UX for #20. This patch causes the cursor to jump unexpectedly from the label field to the newly-revealed machine name field when you enter a non-alphanumeric character in the label field, which is weird.

Attached is just a reroll of #2. I think this is actually the preferable behavior.

Yeah ... this would do.

@#22,

"cursor to jump..." can be fix. I will create a new thread for #20.

Thanks :)

droplet: Thanks, can you link that one here? It's good to have it seperated, because there might be alternatives, like a magically improved transliteration.

And it's been tested, so untagging.

@#26,

#1447860: Show machine name input if every character is replaced

Thanks! Committed/pushed to 8.x, moving to 7.x for backport.

Should be a straightforward backport, tagging novice.

patch for 7.x

Thank you.

Tag stays on. :) Thanks!

This works just fine for me in latest D7 dev. The sooner we get this in, the sooner something can be done in contrib to also provide a transliterated machine name: #1436596: Support transliteration of machine names

Committed and pushed to 7.x. Thanks!

Thanx Angie ;)
