Draggable fromNew breaks in WP 3.3 #52

Closed boonebgorges closed 12 years ago

boonebgorges commented 12 years ago

It's not possible to add a new item to a project when using the latest WP 3.3 trunk version. It's probably a result of their switch to the latest jQuery.

I did a bit of debugging, and found that the newly dragged item isn't being given the proper id, so that when the ajax request is sent, there's no information about the post_id, and as a result nothing can be copied. The result is an AJAX error and a forced refresh.

I'll do some more debugging when I can, but it'd be nice if someone else more familiar with the JS could help :)

I'll do some digging to see what I can come up with.

It looks like this change is the cause of the problem:

http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/4564

and is related to cloning the original element for the drag/copy:

http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/#option-helper

We were basically expecting duplicate IDs before. We'll have to look at this a bit more, but it seems like a couple possible solutions are:

1) Grab the ID of the original item as the dragging is about to start. 2) Store the post_id in some other attribute, such as the class, or in a nested hidden span.

The second one might be a little more proper. Any thoughts?

Good find, Jason!

Something along the second lines sounds good to me. If it the post_id can be stowed in another class, it seems like it would introduce the least overhead.

I'd lean toward the nested hidden span over a class on the element, just since it seems like non-classy data. But then again, I've never been overly concerned with being classy.

We're a classless bunch, aren't we?

OK, I think I've got a working fix, but I haven't tested it in WP 3.2 and I would also appreciate another check in WP 3.3. Do we have a procedure for testing changes? I could push a branch, or just push the changes to master and pull them back if needed, or I could send you all a patch.

boonebgorges commented 12 years ago

If it's just a single changeset/commit, just push it to the master branch. We can revert if it's broken. If it's multiple changesets, push up a separate branch so that things don't get too messy.

I'm happy with a push to master -- I think we had an awful lot of branch proliferation for a while!

Branch "proliferation" is one of the selling points of Git as a vcs :)

I'm still getting used to proliferating branches. Anyways, changes pushed to master.

boonebgorges commented 12 years ago

Sweet - just got a chance to look at this. Looks great on WP 3.3 and 3.2.x. I moved your fix over to the 0.6.x branch too.

Thanks!
