45 hoursRebuild the admin dashboard: icon nav, search, signposts, widgetserdgeist
Replaces the old admin#index wizard -- accreted over years, never designed as a whole -- with the dashboard settled on this session: a three-icon nav (dashboard/search/log out, no locale selector), a nodes-first search bar, four task signposts, and two symmetric widgets (drafts/autosaves, recent changes) with a quiet housekeeping row beneath them. Node.recently_changed now filters and orders by the head page's own updated_at instead of the node's blanket timestamp, so a lock/unlock cycle with no actual publish no longer surfaces here, and the original publisher is no longer misattributed to someone else's housekeeping action. This also restores the "published" qualifier on each entry, which the query previously couldn't guarantee was true. @mynodes and its dedicated "My Work" table are retired along with the old wizard -- "Continue my work" is a link to the existing, already- correct NodesController#mine instead of a second, duplicate query. Its one dedicated test (dedup across multiple revisions by the same user) is ported to nodes_controller_test.rb, since mine already carries the same .distinct protection the old query did; it just had no test of its own until now.
2 daysAdd a grouped tag+node search endpoint for the upcoming dashboarderdgeist
AdminController#dashboard_search returns tags and nodes as separate, labeled groups (via ActsAsTaggableOn::Tag.named_like and Node.editor_search) rather than the flat per-node list every existing picker returns. initSearchPicker gains a renderResults callback option that, when given, replaces the default per-node rendering entirely -- lets the dashboard render its two labeled groups without a second, parallel picker implementation. resultsHeaderHtml (the "Press Enter to see all results" hint) is now threaded through as a third argument to renderResults, so a picker with custom rendering can still show it -- previously only the default per-node branch ever did. Tags link straight to the existing /admin/nodes/tags/:tag view rather than becoming an in-place filter chip.
2 daysUnify the four field-level pickers, fix search visibilityerdgeist
menu_items/parent_search/move_to_search/event_search each duplicated their own debounce-free AJAX call and result rendering. Replaced with one shared initSearchPicker, taking each picker's distinctive behavior (parent_search's live path preview, event_search's title hint) as a callback rather than a whole reimplementation. Adds a real debounce with an out-of-order-response guard -- none of the four had either before. admin_search (the Alt+F top-bar search) now shares the same function via its own url/isActive/header options, gaining the same guard and fixing an inconsistency of its own (it previously always slid its panel open, even on zero results). Each picker's results container gets its own id instead of sharing was ever supposed to be on screen at once, an assumption with no actual enforcement behind it. Styling moved from an id-pair (#menu_search_results, #search_results) to a shared .search_results class so a future picker never needs this file touched again. menu_search and the admin top-bar search now call Node.editor_search instead of the public, head-only Node.search -- both are admin-only, authenticated views, and had no reason to inherit the public search's "can't find a draft" limitation. The always-ignored :per_page => 1000 on the latter is gone too; Node.search's second argument was never read by the method at all. Also removed a stale #metadata a { text-transform: lowercase } rule, found while verifying the above -- written for the pre-subnav-removal expand-toggle, which no longer exists; it had been silently lowercasing nodes#edit's own, unrelated #metadata div (including move_to_search's results) by id coincidence ever since. #main_navigation and #overview_toggle intentionally left capitalized rather than special-cased -- both belong to the nav bar already slated to shrink to three icons, not worth polishing on the way out.
4 daysFix current_user/uniq inconsistencies in admin#index, remove dead queryerdgeist
@mynodes used the bare @current_user ivar instead of the current_user method (works today only because login_required already forces that memoization; every other query and controller in this app uses the method), and .uniq, which is plain Enumerable#uniq here, not Relation#distinct -- it materializes every joined row into an Array before deduplicating, rather than deduplicating in SQL. @mypages had the same ivar pattern, no .order/.limit unlike every sibling query in this action, and -- confirmed via a full grep -- is referenced nowhere else in the codebase. Removed rather than bounded; nothing was ever rendering it.
5 daysAdd head/draft/autosave layer comparison at three UI entry pointserdgeist
Node#resolve_page_reference and #available_layer_pairs let Page#diff_against compare named layers (head/draft/autosave), not just numbered revisions -- autosave was never part of Node#pages, so this was the missing piece. Wired into nodes#show's Status section, nodes#edit right after an autosave gets resurrected ("What changed?"), and the admin wizard's current-drafts table, which now also lists autosave-only nodes it previously never showed. revisions#diff hides the numbered-revision picker when comparing named layers (it can't represent them), shows a plain label instead, and offers buttons to switch between whichever other pairs make sense for the node's current state. Destroying the topmost layer is available directly from the diff view, reusing the existing revert! path. "Discard changes" is renamed "Discard Autosave" everywhere it appears, to match "Destroy Draft".
8 daysReplace awesome_nested_set with a plain parent_id-based NestedTree concernerdgeist
Root-caused this session: appending a child to any node never widened that parent's own rgt boundary, on the pinned revision (Gemfile tracked main directly, chasing a too-conservative gemspec constraint - not, as first assumed, a deliberate pin to avoid a known bug). Reproduced cleanly on a single ordinary create with no concurrency and no bulk operation involved, confirmed via the gem's own SetValidator, then confirmed as the root cause of nodes_controller_test.rb's 3 long-standing "pre-existing" failures - not three separate mysteries, one bug. admin_controller's sitemap needed its own real conversion, not just a drop-in: awesome_nested_set's lft column implicitly provided correct depth-first tree order for free, which the old code combined with a separate class-level each_with_level iterator. Both replaced by one method, self_and_descendants_ordered_with_level, computing an ordered [node, level] list in a single query-then-walk pass - checked against the actual view template first (admin/index.html.erb) rather than assumed, since it relies on list order alone to render correct visual nesting. lft/rgt/depth columns intentionally left in schema, unused - dropping them is a separate, deliberately deferred migration once this is proven running for a while, not bundled with the behavior change.

9 daysFix admin search results colliding with other search widgetserdgeist
layouts/admin.html.erb's top-bar search results div shared id "search_results" with nodes#new/nodes#edit's parent-search widget - since the layout renders on every admin page, whichever widget's JS ran last silently won the shared ID, putting top-bar results into the parent-search box on affected pages. Renamed to "menu_search_results" and updated admin_search.js to match. Also modernizes admin_search.js's event bindings from keyup/keydown/ keypress/paste/cut + .attr("value") to input + .val() throughout (menu_items, parent_search, move_to_search) - the multi-event binding was working around old IE compatibility that .val() + "input" already handles correctly. parent_search's result rendering now matches menu_search's convention (real <p>/<a> markup with a .result_path span) instead of a bare <a> in a throwaway wrapper div, so the same CSS rule now correctly applies to both. menu_search's JSON response gains node_path per result, matching what admin_search's own results already provide - not yet consumed by parent_search/move_to_search, which still render click-to-select links rather than navigable ones (correct for their purpose - selecting a value, not leaving the page). Known remaining gap, not fixed here: menu_items, parent_search, and move_to_search still all target the literal id "search_results" between themselves. No live collision today since none of the three currently share a page, but it's the same fragility as the bug above - tracked alongside the existing menu_items/parent_search/move_to_search consolidation backlog item rather than treated as resolved.
2026-06-30Improve admin search overlay layout and behaviourerdgeist
- Widen overlay (300px -> min(520px, 90vw)), centre instead of hardcoded left:400px, so it scales from mobile to desktop - Split title and unique_name into separate JSON fields and DOM elements; two-line result layout (bold title, small grey monospace path) instead of "Title (path)" wrapping awkwardly - Add small margin between title and path line - Fix event handler stacking: keyup/escape/outside-click handlers were being rebound on every display_toggle call. Moved all bindings to initialize(), display_toggle() now only shows/hides - Switch search input from keyup to input event, catching paste and cut via mouse which keyup misses - Add Escape key and outside-click to dismiss the overlay - Stop clearing search box and results on close; reopening now preserves prior search, matching standard search UI behaviour - Link search results to node_path instead of edit_node_path, since opening edit auto-locks the node - Add "press Enter to see all results" hint in dropdown - Disable browser autocomplete on search input
2026-06-29Restore and improve admin node searcherdgeist
- Admin search broke when routing-filter was removed: hardcoded /admin/search and /admin/menu_search URLs in admin_search.js no longer matched the locale-scoped routes. Fix by emitting locale-aware URLs from the layout as JS variables. - Also fixes form submission (POST -> GET, missing = on form_tag), jQuery .attr("value") -> .val() for typeahead input reading, and template name for Rails 8 compatibility. - Adds a visible "search" link to the admin menu so editors can discover the feature without knowing the Alt+F shortcut. Search results now show node path alongside title and link directly to the edit view. Named route admin_menu_search added to routes.rb.
