Modulize the Maintenance Module

[ghost]

Attachet a ProofOfConcept for modulizing the ModuleMaintenance. Therefore it is able to add module specific content to the Maintenance page.

Including a preMaintenanceOutput Hook, when resorting or anything else is necessary.

Like it. But please make ModuleMaintenance_Generic an abstract class and call it AbstractModuleMaintenance or better (Abstract)MaintenanceAction (because it has nothing todo with "Module", which is mostly used for frontend modules in contao terminology)

What is it for?

If there is a module, who needs special maintenance tasks (recreating indexes, rebuild structures) these modules have to implement the possibility by themselves.

With this hook, they are able to add it to the normal COntao Maintenance Area, is quite easier to arrange same behaviours as leave it anywhere else in the modules.

It is just to simplify to working process for the BE Admin.

str_replace("Ring","Menupoint","One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,");

It's all about centralizing the whole maintenance data. Currently you can't just extend the ModuleMaintenance.php. It would be nice if the extension developers had a way to hook upon the module so they can provide their own maintenance routines. From the user's point of view this is a lot easier as he/she knows that everything is in "Maintenance" rather than e.g a global operation in module x, a runonce in module y, an own navigation point in module z etc.

It would even be nice if the maintenance screen was split up in sections so you have a maintenance section "Core", "Catalog", "Isotope" etc. that you can expand and collapse =) BTW: I started this thread in the "Entwickler-Interna" in the forum, if you want to discuss about it in more detail - just to let you know =)

Do you need more input ? The issue is still in pending state.

I could branch the 2.10 with this patch including a more usable dashboard.

Its your choice.
