Stay in edit mode after adding a note or a 'relation to other sign'

Usability thingy mentioned by Julie.

Agree, would be useful.

This is something I did when we added ajax calls to the database.
It used to be that staying in edit mode was triggered by "?edit ...." appearing at the end of the URL.
Do you mind if this is visible in the URL? I'll put it back.

I'm looking at this now, what the update.py code used to be. Depending on the type of update, ?edit... is added.
The gloss_edit.js code is what processes the ?edit part to keep the respective section being edited open.
(e.g., ?editrel, ?editrelforeign, ?editdef, ?editmorphdef, ?editothermedia)
But one thing that has changed since then are the dataset permissions.
Having an "?edit" at the end of the URL should not work if somebody just types the URL without being in the middle of editing.
(It shouldn't be possible for a user to start editing just by putting ?edit at the end of the URL.)
Hopefully Django will catch this. We probably need a test for this. (After the code is restored.)

Okay, so far I fixed this for Relations to Other and to Foreign signs.

This has been fixed. Pushed to github.

Hey @susanodd , I just put the latest version on the live server, but there it doesn't work work for the two types of relations (does work for notes, though). Any idea what is going on there?

[susanodd]

I see that. Hmm.

[susanodd]

Okay, I just fixed it. I didn't catch a couple of the reverse redirects after updates.
