Create custom admin article menus #20890

brianteeman · 2018-06-27T10:47:22Z

See #20233 for detailed explanation of the use case

Test Instructions

Create and enable an admin menu with the "Joomla preset"

Create a new admin menu item of type article list and you can see you now have a full set of filters that you can apply.

For example you can now create menu items in the admin to each category.

If approved I will create the same option for other components

This does not resolve everything on #20233 as it still needs field categories to be implemented for that

Thanks to @tonypartridge for his help

Can add filters to the new fields, or in this case is not necessary? following what doing in others PRs

for example, add to this field the filter="int_array"

tonypartridge · 2018-06-27T13:24:38Z

No, all this is doing is pre-setting the filters that already exit on a page.

He's talking about input filters (essentially JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('foo', 'default', $filter);, not the UI filters.

tonypartridge · 2018-06-27T13:30:29Z

Then of course it is possible as we are just passing the request variables. But in doing that, you have no control over the filters on that page if you pass them in and they work. Note, I haven’t tried filtering the admin ui with filters not existent on the UI. But wouldn’t really advise it.

You're still missing the point here I'm afraid.

The filter="whatever" attribute sets what data type something is filtered/validated as when it is read from the request in the JForm API when filtering/validating data. So if you set filter="int" on a field, then when the field's data is read from the request it is filtered/validated as an integer.

tonypartridge · 2018-06-27T13:36:49Z

Ah, clearly I missed that. I just saw the filter on custom fields.

@tonypartridge Sorry for no explain well when i ask about this. Thank you @mbabker

brianteeman · 2018-06-27T13:47:28Z

Gotya. Will update.

brianteeman · 2018-06-27T14:19:37Z

@SharkyKZ can you check the filters please

carlitorweb · 2018-06-27T14:34:38Z

When you create an admin menu item to display a list of all articles there is no option to select a filter so the article list displays all the articles.

So, this is well covered in this PR. Except, not for the Statue and Access levels. Also, will be good do the same with the featured articles view

brianteeman · 2018-06-27T14:38:37Z

I did think about status and access but there is no point. A users ACL addresses the access and I don't want to pre-filter on status - thats not a good idea.

As for the featured view thats a special type of thing and it doesnt match the use case for this - my 2c

carlitorweb · 2018-06-27T14:49:37Z

Roger that. So, this work perfect!

Filters OK.

tonypartridge · 2018-06-28T00:29:45Z

I actually think the access level could be handy for when filtering lots of articles assigned to certain access levels, i.e. ‘Guest Articles’, ‘Members Articles’. ? Just a thought

Thanks for merging. I will add the same for other components now.

helpwise · 2018-08-30T04:44:22Z

Thanks for this effort Brian et al,.. to make this thing really sing, is it possible to add 'Category Template Layout' selector to the new category menu item ?

The Category Menu already has 'template selector', but it only works on single articles and not the category list/blog files (because the list/blog is inherently the category template via an XML file ).
#19613

Perhaps create a new menu item called "Category (templateable)" so all the old stuff is compatible, and then allow it to properly override both the category and article layouts.. ?

@helpwise can you please open a new Issue (and Link to this PR) as Comments on closed Issues didn't get much Notice?
