Feature #2464
Updated by Bernhard Koschiček-Krombholz 3 months ago
Currently we have a mixed bag of used classes at entity level, forms and displays that are not directly connected. After some talks with colleagues and very helpful input from @Katharina, Lukas and Birger just to name a few I found a new approach: Using model config files which contain all the information to build views, forms and similar in a generic way. Advantages would be: * Easier model adaptions at one place * Possibility to test for "allowed" relations * More consistent layout, e.g. table headers, form fields order, ... * Less error prone and fewer tests are needed * See below for UI improvments h2. Update Work has started in the *feature/new_classes* branch but will take some time. Status per OpenAtlas class: *To do* * Administrative unit * Feature * File * Object location * Place * Reference system * Stratigraphic unit * Type * Type tools *Done* * Artifact * Activity * Acquisition * Appellation * Bibliography * Creation * Edition * Event * External reference * File * Group * Human remains * Modification * Move * Person * Production * Source * Source translation *Removed* These classes were used to mitigate shortcomings of the CIDOC CRM which are solved differently now. * Actor function * Actor relation * Involvement h2. New features * *Human remains* can now also be used with *Modification* and *Move* h2. UI improvements The new system offers a lot of UI improvements all over, some of them are listed here. * Actor ** A map is shown at the actor detail view if e.g. a georeferenced residence is available * Event ** Sub events can now also be linked/created via the subs tab of an event detail view * Source ** The source index now also shows source translations ** The source of a source translation can be changed when updating a translation ** Source translations annotations can be linked to entities of the source at insert too (before it was only possible at update) * Type ** Types are linked in table views ** Sub types can also be added at the type detail view ** The type of entities can also be removed in the entities tab of a type detail view (if not required) h2. Minor fixes * Tabs without content aren't shown anymore * Removed *insert and continue* buttons when inserting and linking with additional fields (which weren't working anyway) * At the file tab of entity detail views the link to unset a file as main image isn't shown anymore, if it wasn't set but chosen at random
