A way to create a hypha

[bouncepaw]

#123 implemented a way to create a hypha with Mycorrhiza's interface, without following red links or using browser's interface. I did not accept the way it implemented that, though.

But we do need something like that. Here's what I think:

• A big green button on top labeled Create a hypha.
• It opens an editor with fields not only for text and edit desc, but for name too. This way users can think of content before name. This is important, actually.
• There should be a media uploading zone too, if the hypha is to be a media hypha.

Like in that pull request, the address should be /new. Sounds nice. People could bookmark this address.

I have a similar idea, that is easier to implement.

If a user is logged in (= may create hyphæ) and searches for a hypha by its name, there can be a link to create said hypha:

The link would go to the /edit/<hypha_name>. We can show this link even if results aren’t empty.

Cool idea. Why /edit/? What if I want to upload a picture instead?

It would actually be nice if the hypha name field was present on edit pages for non-existent hyphae. This would work nicely with @kytta's suggestion (I like it too).

Cool idea. Why /edit/? What if I want to upload a picture instead?

You could also add a way to attach a file to the new hypha on the edit page. Then there will be no need for a /new page.

We can alternatively go to /hypha/<.> (then maybe name the link "Navigate to"), where the user then can create a hypha or upload a picture

So, if I go to /edit/fish, there is a name field? Dunno.

Yeah. That's basically having /new on the same address, ok.

I actually find myself needing this link every other day. Also, this is the easiest to implement.

I can implement name and attachment fields on the edit page if you want.

I see it this way.

• /edit
  ** Media field
  ** Text field
  ** Name field
• /edit/existing hypha
  ** If it is a media hypha, media field
  ** Text field
• /edit/empty hypha
  ** Media field
  ** Text field

Having a name field for editors of already named hyphae kinda doesn't make sense.

Sure, implement it, I'll be glad.
