Beta phase evaluation

Reference: https://www.drupal.org/core/beta-changes
Issue category Task: All content entity types should have some views integration. This issue is also a base for using views for that particular admin listing
Issue priority Normal, because the impact is not that high.
Disruption No disruption, because there is no API change.

Problem/Motivation

We need to add a revisions ui for block_content. This would best be done with views. Hence we need views support.

Proposed resolution

Implement BlockContentViewsData class

Remaining tasks

Write patch
Tests
Reviews

User interface changes

None

API changes

Oh damn, I haven't seen that assigned fast enough.

I hope you can at least get inspired by this small bit.

So after taking this for a spin we'll need to add view and delete revision link field handlers.

Well, we certainly still need some routing/menu entries to actually manage revisions, so we need this first in order to continue here.

I'm looking at this in preparation for #1984588: Add Block Content revision UI.

The "Link to edit a custom block" handler is currently broken.

Debug:
'Missing handler: custom_block edit_link field'
in views_get_handler() (line 940 of core/modules/views/views.module).

These are still failing for me. Do they need to be similar to views_handler_field_entity?

Title: Add views support for {custom_block_revision} » Add views support for custom blocks

This issue adds custom blocks views support wholesale, so better have a more accurate title.

Some questions for @dawehner.

We don't have uri because #1984588: Add Block Content revision UI and this are kind of inter-related

larowlan’s picture

->access should work, from memory it just uses administer blocks permission.
I don't think we need view link, or path link, there is no viewing at moment, it falls back to editing.

Good question, don't know at the moment. It seems to be that you added it in #1984582-20: Add views support for custom blocks ... didn't you :P

Manual testing:

Add a new view (wizard)

Add some fields - delete link shows as broken/missing:

Attempt to view the saved view (table with title (linked), edit and delete links).

First of all excellent review. Thanks @larowlan.
#35

  1. Can we please wait for @dawehner to confirm?
  2. O come on! you don't have to point out it 37 times :P. Nice catch. Fixed :D
  3. Very nice catch. Fixed.
  4. Done.
  5. Removed LinkEdit field plugin and updated Link field plugin.
  6. Same as above.
  7. I have no idea what is this. I asked @damiankloip at Drupalcon Amsterdam why we have to do this he explained it to me then and I don't know the reason now :$. @dawehner please suggest the comment. I'll I add it. So not fixed yet.
  8. No idea perhaps @dawehner knows.
  9. Not until we can fix point 4 of the review.

Thanks for the manual testing in #36. Seriously jibran-- for this kind of mess. I have fixed it now and added a small test for it as well.

PS: Still waiting for @dawehner's re-entry in the issue :D

I talked to @dawehner in IRC here is the conoversation just for the record.

[02:28]	dawehner	jibran: ... we have generic entity integrations for a lot of things
[02:28]	jibran	dawehner: yeah
[02:29]	jibran	dawehner: I copied almost all of BlockViewData from NodeViewData
[02:29]	dawehner	jibran: ... well node is all special
[02:30]	jibran	dawehner: yeah that is why I asked your opinion
[02:30]	jibran	dawehner: we can certainly drop some stuff
[02:30]	jibran	dawehner: I have commented out some code as well
[02:39]	dawehner	jibran: well yeah copying from node is a bad idea, its hyper-special
[02:40]	jibran	dawehner: ok we can drop stuff no worries
[02:46]	dawehner	jibran: so yeah ideally you would not have to write any views integration at all
[02:48]	dawehner	jibran: you also need no wizard for example
[02:48]	jibran	dawehner: ok
[02:51]	dawehner	jibran: you also probably don't need any links, given that the entity operations field will be available as well
[02:52]	jibran	dawehner: ok

Removed wizards and links from the patch.

I was helping someone to debug this at our local sprint yesterday. Looks like EntityViewsData does not generate the complete views data for revisionable entities, joins/relationships are missing. NodeViewsData is adding a bunch of stuff.

Maybe it would be easier to open a separate issue and move more logic from NodeViewsData into EntityViewsData and make that work before we complete this here.

Ok - I had a bit of a play around with simplytest.me

Followed @larowlan's lead from #36 .

I didn't hit the errors he did, so that's good!

I was able to select custom block, and custom block revisions from the pull down list, which I can't do in the d8 install I've been playing with.

With patch.

Without patch.

I also made a couple of custom blocks, and managed to create a block display view of them.

I noticed a couple of other things - but not sure they are related to this particular issue, so will reach out on irc about them first.

Also tested this during #SprintWeekend and worked great so far!

When building the view i find it confusing that the block labels are named "description", buts that's totally decoupled from this ticket...

kattekrab’s picture

Yeah - I found that weird too. Why ARE the block labels called description instead of title?

tim.plunkett’s picture

Because it's been called "description" since box.module and block.module were merged in 2002, before Drupal 4.0.0: http://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupal/commit/?id=a4b5005640228b8f5cec843e46c...

I did another manual test with simplytest.me

Created 3 custom blocks, made a block view of them, made a couple of revisions, made a page view of the revisions.
All works well.

Found some oddities when creating the Revisions view though - but I think that legitimately should be followed up in the postponed ticket about block revisions #1984588: Add Block Content revision UI

This issue, about adding views support for blocks, seems nailed.

Thanks all. RTBC.
