Action selected info on input file 16 Sep 2013 15:15 #11104

When the user selects an action to do on a file ('remove', 'thumbs', 'delete', 'trash'). there is no INFO about what he just selected.

this is what I do:


in order to do that we have to modify the file root\administrator\components\com_component\dom\html\form\input\file\default.php around the line 160, add this:
$jsRemove .= "jQuery('#". $this->getInputId('action-selected') ."').html('". JText::_("JDOM_ACTION_SELECTED") .": ". $item['text'] ."');";

around the line 179 modify the following lines:
		//Close the control		
		$html .= '</div>' .LN;
		$html .= '</div>' .LN;
		
		//MaxSize
		$html .= $this->buildMaxSize();

to:
		//Close the control		
		$html .= '</div>' .LN;

		
		//MaxSize
		$html .= $this->buildMaxSize();
		$html .= '</div>' .LN; /* hack */


around line 188 change the following lines:
		$html .= $this->buildFileExtensions();
		
		return $html;

and add:
		$html .= $this->buildFileExtensions();
		$html .= '<span class="action-info" id="'.  $this->getInputId('action-selected') .'"></span>'; /* hack */
		
		return $html;


add a bit of CSS to the css files:
.action-info {
	font-size: 80%;
	font-style: italic;
	color:green;
	font-weight: bold;
}

add language string: JDOM_ACTION_SELECTED="Action selected"
to the language files.

and we are done. :)

The icon is changing when you change action, so you can know what have been selected.
In the coming upgrade, this has been improved an fixed.

  I still don't believe he can really be human to do all this ! From all of the forums that I've ever participated in this is certainly the one that most encapsulates the feeling of being truly open source where everyone's opinions and contributions can and will shape the development of the service! It's truly awesome! Hope you enjoy cooking and look forward to reading and contributing to any of the editorial work that you proposed too!! Thanks
