[Suggestion] 3.0 Application detail

[desti]

1. Add to information.xml structure fields <langsgroups> </langsgroups> for deletion lang files (like <templatesgroups>).
2. Change id structure (member_form.php & group_form.php) to tabtab-MEMBERS|[app_name] (checked, it works, but?)
3. Place application tabs after already created system tabs.

1. Good suggestion :)

It's not needed. Language files need to be "(app)_(custom name).php" so we can already detect and remove language files by the application prefix. e.g. language files for the core application all start with "core_" - so when the application is removed we could just delete all language files starting with "core_". ;)

This would not allow you to have more than one tab for the application, though it's arguable if that's a bad thing or not. For the record, the group tab integration stuff already supports methods to set the tab ID number properly, but the members tab integration does not presently.

Errr, they already are. :unsure:

For #3, I think he means add actual new tabs at the top, not just add new items to the My Apps dropdown. I think it's fine like it is, as more tabs could mean you'll run out of horizontal space for those tabs when you have more apps installed.

"Mods settings" - my tabs.

1. And "just delete" application .js files from system js folder, coz app js folder only for ACP scripts?

Sugg: add variable $this->settings['js_app_url'] for public mode, now it work in ACP only.

2. (groups) $tabUsed = 2, clean ipb install. Bug??? ;)

Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying there.

All of IPB uses one JS language file, and the applications don't use any. You can set JS variables in the HTML source if need be. If having a JS langauge file is a necessity for you, the uninstallation routines from the application management screen support running a custom uninstall script - so you can use that to delete the JS files yourself.

As for the tabsUsed bit, the source code is encoded presently, but once it's not you can take a look at how we add the tabs.

This may be of help as well.
