About eZ Autosave
Project page: http://projects.ez.no/ezautosave
Roadmap feature request:
http://share.ez.no/feature-requests/auto-store-draft-feature
eZ Autosave enables the automatic and transparent saving of the draft
while editing a content in eZ Publish. Based on this, it also provides
an "inline" preview from the content edit in the administration
interface.
This extension is based on QH Autosave by Quoc-Huy NGUYEN DINH
Features
-
Regularly save the draft (interval defined in
autosave.ini/[AutosaveSettings]/Interval) -
Save the draft when the user leaves a form field (enable/disable
through autosave.ini/[AutosaveSettings]/TrackUserInput) -
Hide the "Store draft" button (enable/disable through
autosave.ini/[AutosaveSettings]/HideStoreDraftButton) -
Try to save the draft if the editor unexpectedly quits the content
edit page (back button, close browser, ...)
Requirements
- eZ Publish 2012.01 or 4.7 or newer
- ezjscore
TODO / Known issues
-
Add timeout support as soon as the YUI3 bug #2531308 is fixed
http://yuilibrary.com/projects/yui3/ticket/2531308 - When timeout is implemented, add a Retry button in case of timeout
-
Use the output of the ezjscore action to update the content edit form:
for instance, after uploading an image, the preview could be updated
or the unvalidated field could be hightlighted. - Let the editor disable/enable the autosave process
- Let the editor choose the interval between two autosave attempts
Technical notes
This extension provides a JavaScript component called Y.eZ.AutoSubmit.
It's the main part of the extension, it allows to automatically submit a
form at fixed interval or because the user has changed something.
This component extends the EventTarget YUI3 component and then triggers
some events during its life. The available events are (see example below
for details):
- init
- beforesave
- success
- error
- nochange
- abort
It also listens for the event 'autosubmit:forcesave'. When this events
is fired, the Y.eZ.AutoSubmit component will try to submit the form no
matter if its state has changed or not.
Example:
{ezscript_require( array( 'ezjsc::yui3', 'ezautosubmit.js' ) )}
