--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-3830
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-3830
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public
Components: admininterface, fckeditor, gui
Affects Versions: 4.4.4
Reporter: Per Andersson
Assignee: Philipp Bärfuss
Hi,
There is a feature in Liferay that I miss in Magnolia. Liferay gives the
developers power to have a dialog or a combination of dialogs marked as
*multiple*.
Let's try a scenario we have where I work. We have a very specific article
component which contains the following dialogs:
1. image1
2. text1
3. image2
4. text2
5. image3
6. text3
The freemarker file looks like this:
{code:title=standardArticle.ftl|borderStyle=solid}
${image1} - ${text1}<br />
${image2} - ${text2}<br />
${image3} - ${text3}<br />
{code}
There are two big downsides with this approach that I can see straight ahead.
The first one is that we need to do a "release" if we want to increase the
number of Image-Text combinations. The second one is that editor interface
becomes very bloated (especially if they only want to use one combination
(Image1 and Text1) and not the other fields).
What I would like to have is the possibility to tell magnolia that I want the
"Image" and "Text" dialog combination to be "multiple", i.e. you can add a
dynamic amount of rows on the fly. Of course it would be nice for it to work in
Blossom since we use that for many of our paragraphs.
If this type of feature is implemented, then the dialog configuration might
look like this instead:
1. imageText (multiple = true)
1.1 image
1.2 text
The freemarker file looks like this:
{code:title=standardArticle.ftl|borderStyle=solid}
<#list content.imageText?children as imgtxt>
${imgtxt.image} - ${imgtxt.text}<br />
</#list>
{code}
I've already made my own bastardized version of the DialogMultiSelect class
(and it's only tested using Blossom as of yet) but I don't really know much
about Magnolia yet so the result is pretty much a hack. Also - since it's a
variation of the original DialogMultiSelect class it doesn't work with the
FckEditor because it is very javascript dependent.
I might be able to include my version so that you can look at it (But I have to
remove some domain specific information from the source code before I can
include it)
