Manage Fields and Display Fields links from the Content Types operation table
Bojhan - August 18, 2009 - 17:48
Description
You are now unable to manage your fields directly from the content types page - we need to add this to the operations table.
Quicksketch suggested we should also have the Display Fields.
#1
That's not a field issue anymore, but for fieldable types.
Also, we'll need similar links on the 'vocabularies overview table' at admin/structure/taxonomy
#2
The attached patch adds the manage fields and manage display links to the content type admin screen.
#3
The last submitted patch failed testing.
#4
Ah, I guess the test bot can't apply git patches. Here's a cvs diff.
#5
Thanks for tackling this !
- I'd suggest moving 'delete' at the end, though.
- we need to check whether field_ui.module is enabled first. If not, the links go to a 404.
+ a screenshot would probably help this being reviewed and committed ?
#6
Agreed with yched, can't apply patches so waiting for a screenshot in order to set this RTBC
#7
This patch does the 2 things yched suggested (delete to the end, and checks for the field_ui module). Also, attached is a screenshot.
#8
Code-wise, this works for me. I'll let Bojhan validate.
#9
looks good to me ... test bot can apply git patches if you use the --no-prefix option.
#10
I can confirm it works, any idea where all the spacing comes from though? Look at the spacing between edit and manage field and between manage field and display fields.
#11
Regarding column width, it appears to be the nature of tables that are pushed to 100% width. Attached is a screenshot from FF3.5 with the 100% table width disabled. Without specifically targeting this table/column in the theme, I'm not sure if there is a general fix.
#12
OK, RTBC - we can do styling cleanups later more consistently.
#13
Interestingly, the same output could be achieved with contextual links. ;) Just want to mention possibilities for D8.
#14
Committed to CVS HEAD. We can continue to discuss 'contextual links' if desired.
#15
jhedstrom: Thanks ! Care to do the same with admin/structure/taxonomy/list ?
sun: I do think a link to 'manage fields' - or at least 'edit content type' would definitely makes sense in node contextual links.
#16
Sure. I added #631038: Add Manage Fields and Manage Display links to Taxonomy list to track this.
#17
What I meant is that the output we see here - and perhaps "operations" in general - _are_ contextual links.
#18
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
