Comment: replaced "global properties" with "Settings"

This module was developed by Jembi.

Overview

The Settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) Editor module is a new front end for managing settings (formerly global properties 1. 8 and below). As opposed to a long list of properties (as seen on the maintenance page), the properties are organized into a tree structure according to their prefixes. This makes it easier to access the property you're looking for.

Features

The settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) editor module supports adding, deleting and updating settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below).

Known issues

There are some known issues in the settings (formerly global properties 1.8 and below) editor module. Some of these are itemized below:

  • Page Load
    • The module page seems to take a long time to load
    • The Add/Save buttons and heading are displayed before the content
  • Design
    • The module currently uses it's own service and DAO. With some refactoring, these elements could be removed and the module could use the existing core functionality.
  • Deletion
    • When deleting all of the properties in a specific tree node (identified by a property prefix) the tree node is not destroyed. However, the tree node will no longer be displayed once the changes have been saved.

Features TODO

It would useful to have a search box which could be used to filter the property tree.
