A way to create a hypha #124

Open bouncepaw opened 2 years ago

bouncepaw commented 2 years ago

123 implemented a way to create a hypha with Mycorrhiza's interface, without following red links or using browser's interface. I did not accept the way it implemented that, though.

But we do need something like that. Here's what I think:

A big green button on top labeled Create a hypha.
It opens an editor with fields not only for text and edit desc, but for name too. This way users can think of content before name. This is important, actually.
There should be a media uploading zone too, if the hypha is to be a media hypha.

Like in that pull request, the address should be /new. Sounds nice. People could bookmark this address.

I have a similar idea, that is easier to implement.

If a user is logged in (= may create hyphæ) and searches for a hypha by its name, there can be a link to create said hypha:

The link would go to the /edit/<hypha_name>. We can show this link even if results aren’t empty.

Cool idea. Why /edit/? What if I want to upload a picture instead?

It would actually be nice if the hypha name field was present on edit pages for non-existent hyphae. This would work nicely with @kytta's suggestion (I like it too).

Cool idea. Why /edit/? What if I want to upload a picture instead?

You could also add a way to attach a file to the new hypha on the edit page. Then there will be no need for a /new page.

We can alternatively go to /hypha/<.> (then maybe name the link "Navigate to"), where the user then can create a hypha or upload a picture

So, if I go to /edit/fish, there is a name field? Dunno.

Yeah. That's basically having /new on the same address, ok.

I actually find myself needing this link every other day. Also, this is the easiest to implement.

I can implement name and attachment fields on the edit page if you want.

bouncepaw commented 2 years ago

I see it this way.

/edit Media field Text field ** Name field
/edit/existing hypha If it is a media hypha, media field Text field
/edit/empty hypha Media field Text field

Having a name field for editors of already named hyphae kinda doesn't make sense.

Sure, implement it, I'll be glad.
