Hi Benjamin, that's a very interesting topic that came lately (last week) in the engineering team discussion... I'll try to answer to questions. I'm sure there was a reason deprecating object creation in browse mode, can anybody explain it ?
I'm not sure what is the exact reason, it's probably a mix between UX issues (like you mentionned) and some buggy behaviour that are/were probably difficult to handle. Are there plans to change that datatype's behavior at eZ's or wherever else ?
Unfortunately, I'm not able to answer to this question... What I'm sure, is that we're not going to work on this in the next month, so if you don't know what to do at the beach, don't hesitate ;-) Seriously, if you're really interested in working on this topic and given the size of what has to be done, I'd suggest you to send your ideas to sdk-public@lists.ez.no so that it can be discussed in details before spending time on code or I would be happy to welcome a new developer in the admin2pp team ;-) What would be the pitfalls of my proposed process ?
I think that could work, the biggest issue would be to fill the object relation list with newly created object, but that's far from being impossible ;-) When I think about this feature, it would be also possible to create the related object in a kind of lightbox (in AJAX obviously) and if the object you want to create also has an objectrelation attribute with the same behaviour you can just stack a new lightbox with the required form. I know, this is a bit more complicated than what you propose, but also a bit sexier ;-) And I also think that would require very few changes (or perhaps no changes) in the existing code ! Cheers
