ipa_entity_quick_links() has been added to generate quick links
automatically from object's attribute_members, the same logic used
for generating facet list. The search definition for each entity
has been updated to use the new function. A unit test has been
added for this function.
The navigation.js has been modified to make it more abstract, i.e.
unaware of entity facets. The nav_update_tabs() has been modified
such that it activates and updates the tabs based on the current
state stored in the URL.
The facets are now handled in entity.js. The ipa_entity_setup() has
been modified to update the facets based on the current state and
cached state.
The navigation.js also has been modified to be more class-like. The
nav_create() has been modified to store the tab configuration and
the tab container in internal variables nav_tabs_lists and
nav_container. The nav_update_tabs() now can be called without any
parameters.
Functions nav_push_state(), nav_get_state(), and nav_remove_state()
have been added to wrap BBQ API. This is to allow unit tests to
replace them with mockup functions to remove dependency on BBQ.
Some errors (e.g. server down) are reported as AJAX success with
empty data. The ipa_cmd() has been modified so that it will detect
such errors and invoke the error handler.
The ipa_cmd() has been modified such that when an error occurs a
dialog box will appear showing the error message with 2 buttons:
Retry and Cancel. If Retry is clicked, it will attempt to execute
the same operation again. If Cancel is clicked, the operation will
be canceled and the control is returned to the caller.
New unit tests have been added to test ipa_cmd() on successfull
and unsuccessfull cases.
The associate.js, details.js, entity.js, search.js, and webui.js
have been modified to display the error message inside the page.
This behavior can be changed in the future (e.g. redirect to error
page).
The navigation.js and webui.js have been modified to render only
the visible tabs. This improves the performance and reduce hidden
errors. The navigation unit test has been modified to reflect this
behavior.
Some variables/functions also have been renamed for consistency.
Convert the tab lists to arrays of objects with four potential fields:
tab[0] -> tab.name
tab[1] -> tab.label
tab[2] -> tab.setup or tab.children
Added unit tests for nav_setup and nav_select_tab
jQuery tabs by default will display the first tab, so reloading a page
or opening a page from bookmark may not show the active tab correctly.
The nav_select_tabs() has been added to get the list of active tabs from
the hash values in the URL and then activate the appropriate tabs. It
will be called during page initialization and whenever the hash values
change.
The navigation.js and webui.js has been cleaned up to better utilize
jQuery API. jQuery selectors are used to create DOM objects that can
be used by subsequent codes. Tab selection handler is now added to the
tabs object instead of anchors. The change event no longer needs to be
triggered manually.
THe Add button was located using the DOm, and the scheme used to find it was fragile enough to be broken by the I18N approach. This is a little more robust, using a JQuery selector based on the class of the controls, and the entity name.
Also remove Makefile, which should be autogenerated
New test cases have been added to test SerialAssociator and
BulkAssociator using mockup objects. Also fixed a bug in BulkAssociator.
Moved switch_view() out of ipa_entity_generate_views() in entity.js
to allow unit testing using mockup objects. Updated the test case
to validate click event on facets.
Performing I18N completely on the server, to leverage the
existing gettext architecture.
Also, the browser does not have access to the Language header.
Added the additional po files for a set of required languages
conflict with install/static/ipa.js was resolved.
Note that the addition of the .po files in this patch is necessary.
In order to get Transifex support, we need to update the LINGUAS
file with the languages for which we want support. If we don't
add the .po files in, they get automatically generated by the rpmbuild
process. Our implementation of gettext has a bug in it (It might
be F13 thing) where the the Plurals line is not getting correctly
transformed, which causes a build failure. However, since the
RPM would have the .po files anyway, we should revision control
the ones we have, even if they are empty.
Fixed the Bug reporting url to the original value.
Corrected the Chartype encoding for UK
The 'logged in as' message in the header into an active hypoerlink that loads the details page for the current user.
Also fixed a bug where, when reloading, the search page would fail due to scl being undefined.
Fixed a typo
replaced {'user-facet':'details', 'pkey':whoami_pkey},2);
with {'user-facet':'details', 'user-pkey':whoami_pkey},2);
Test framework for Web UI has been created using qUnit. The test files
are located in install/static/test. The main page is index.html which
contains links to all test suites (xxx_tests.html). The test cases are
stored in xxx_tests.js. All test suites can be executed at once using
all_tests.html. The test data is stored in data folder. This patch
includes test suites for ipa.js and entity.js.
Some variables and functions in ipa.js have been modified to accomodate
testing (e.g. JSON URL, error handler, synchronous operation). The
sampledata has been moved to test/data. The develop.js and webui.js also
have been modified accordingly.
The enroll facet has been converted into a dialog box. This dialog
box will appear when the user clicks the enroll button above the
association list. When the user clicks the enroll button in the
dialog box, the new associations will be created, then the list will
be refreshed to show the changes.
The SerialAssociator and BulkAssociator have been modified to accept
an on_success function which will be called when the whole operation
is completed successfully. This is used to refresh the list and close
the dialog box appropriately.
Some other changes were also made to improve code clarity.
Selects the site map based on the presence or absense of rolegroups for
the current user. If the user has no rolegroups, UI defaults to the Details page for that user.
Corrected to leave two levels of tabs
The Makefile.am and index.xhtml has been modified to include
rolegroup.js. The webui.js has been modified to register the
rolegroup tab.
The rolegroup.js defines the rolegroup's search, add, and details
pages. Sample data for some rolegroup operations have been added.
The add.js has been modified to support adding new entry with
dynamically generated pkey.
The index.xhtml has been modified to include service.js.
The service.js has been modified to use the new API to define
the search, add, and details fields. Callbacks are used to
add quick links and generate pkey dynamically.
The webui.js has been modified to add the Services tab.
The render_call() signature has been modified to pass the entry_attrs
so each callback function can construct the appropriate quick links
using any attributes from the search results.
The callback function has been implemented for user and group entities.
Quick summary:
- use jQuery UI and jQuery BBQ libraries
- code restructuring
The patch has so many changes they can't be listed here. Many parts
of the code have been rewritten from scrach.

webUI code restructuring [wall of text, diagrams, ... you've been warned!]
2010-09-07
The EntityBuilder has been modified to obtain the pkey value by
invoking getPKey(). This function can be overriden for different
entities.
The addOptionsFunction() has been renamed to getOptions() and it
can be overriden for different entities. Each entity that uses this
function has been modified accordingly.
The addEdit(), addAnother(), add_fail() has been moved into the
EntityBuilder class. The global builders is no longer needed because
a reference to the builder object can be obtained via enclosure.
The ServiceForms has been modified to take service name and
hostname and combine them to generate the service principal by
overriding the getPKey().
-Refactored the associations code into a set of objects that are configured by the entities
-Added support for associations that can be done in a single rpc
-hostgroup to host and group to user associations working
-Restructed sampledata so that the file is matched automatically by the RPC method name
-The new ipa_cmd/sampledata scheme insists on there being sample data for any commands or the ipa_command fails.
-Added sampledata files for all the calls we make
-renamed several of the sampledata files to match their rpc calls
-Started a pattern of refactoring where all the forms for the entity fall under a single object
We now catch the hashchange event and use that to drive most of the site.
To trigger page transitions, modify location.hash.
Params start with # not ?.
Removed user-group.inc.
converted tabs to spaces
trivial imlementation of add and details for netgroup and hostgroup
lots of bug fixes based on routing problems and the refactorings.
- Add/Remove links are now only available for multivalue
attributes (Param.multivalue = true) and attributes with param
types, that are multivalue by definition (as of now only List).
Single-value attributes with no value are displayed as empty
input elements.
- When updating an attribute, leading and trailing spaces are
stripped
- Context help available in the form of hints, that are extracted
form Param.hint.
to hash params ( starting with # ). User Details are now part of
index.xhtml, ao one more .inc file has been removed.
Updated commit to catch a few things that had been left out, including
sampledata handling and updateing Makefile.am
The problem was that parameters with no values are automatically
set to None by the framework and it wasn't handled properly in
baseldap.py:get_attributes function. Also, there were two logical
bugs in details.js:
1) atttribute callback to update values were called for input elements
instead of dt elements
2) it was always trying to update the primary key
Unfortunately we can't have any javascript in *.inc files, because
the browser will strip them for security reasons. I moved all the
attribute callbacks etc. to the only logical place: user.js.
It's fine for now, but user.js is going to need some serious cleaning
up in the future.
What does it mean?
I removed duplicate code, that was pasted here from the user details page.
ipa_details_init doesn't call ipa_init anymore.
ipa_details_create takes a second optional parameter, that can be set to
a container element if we want to place the definition lists into a specific
element instead of <body>. In our case, we place stuff in <div id="content">
What it means?
Well, first I removed some development control variables from ipa.js.
Namely useSampleData and sizelimit. I moved useSampleData to the top
of index.xhtml. This way we won't forget about it when we don't need
it anymore. sizelimit has nothing to do in ipa.js and be hardcoded
for ALL commands! Some don't have this parameter and could fail.
Since ipa_init now loads meta-data over JSON-RPC, we need to wait for
it to finish its job. That's why I put a second parameter to ipa_init:
on_win. ipa_init will call on_win when all data is loaded properly and
we can start building the page.
Hide the search bar when showing the groups listed for a user, and resotre it when doing other searches.
The enroll button is added only on the groups page, and removed along with anything else in the searchButtons div when a new search is started.
