This should work well for simple cases, but could conceivably create false positives if there's a click handler on the specific buttons, depending on whether event processing passes it on. Double-check if you're doing such forms along with the 'ajax' class!
* keep the notice-reply-placeholder around, but hidden
* insert things before the placeholder, rather than appending to the end of the list.
* append the active form after the hidden placeholder, so things inserted before the placeholder never come after it
* Realtime: check pre-existing notice visibility a second time after loading the HTML for a notice. Fixes bug where sometimes your own post would be shown twice because the Realtime notification arrived before the AJAX posting returned, but Realtime's AJAX fetch of the notice returned after.
Previously we threw away errore reported by the actual AJAX submission and only used whatever error the browser reported to us; this didn't help if we reached the server ok but had a problem there.
We now extract the #error if given and use that in the alert().
Also should now show 'Unknown error' instead of a crappy generic 'something died in jQuery' when we get a 200 response but bogus return data.
Saved about 60ms on my test system during page setup by using a single global 'live' click handler for reply links.
No longer need to seek out and attach event handlers on every notice, yay!
Missing default-cancel in the click handler allowed the event to bubble up to the body handler, where we think the click is outside of the form because the target is no longer in the form by the time we check
Now the event no longer bubbles up, as we cancel it when we're done.
* main notice form setup now encapsulated into SN.Init.NoticeForm(form) -- this can be monkeypatched by plugins to append their own setup code, as LinkPreview does
* LinkPreview now supports debugging with non-minified JS source when $config['site']['minify'] is false
* tweaked core & neo styles so 'notice-status' class gets same styles as attach-status, so we can more easily add mroe statusy things. (needs more consolidation with geo-status, etc)
* tweaked LinkPreview's preview area to use that style
FormNoticeXHR now is triggered on any form labeled with class 'ajax-notice', so those other than the traditional notice form should work as long as they handle the AJAX submission and return a properly formatted notice.
Things to watch out for:
* to determine whether the resulting notice should show on the current timeline, the JS code needs to be able to check the author and such. Keeping the existing vcard bits helps for this!
* the notice form submission stuff clears out inputs from your form -- test to make sure this behaves correctly
* error messages returned from the thingy _should_ come through, but this needs more testing for consistency
* while form components that aren't in a custom form should just be ignored, this should be tested more. (eg there's no location or attachment box for poll or bookmark plugins)
* NoticeListItem isn't currently reachable via autoloader -- touch NoticeList explicitly before calling into it for now.
This change adds the input form switcher, which adds a navigation menu
across the top of the input form, letting you switch between different kinds of input.
The input menu doesn't yet look like a nice set of tabs; it could use some love.
