Problem/Motivation

Aggregator's rendering is still stuck to pre-entity conversion

Proposed resolution

Instead of using custom logic, templates etc, move everything to hook_entity_extra_field_info() and field formatters

Remaining tasks

Review
Commit

User interface changes

  • Field UI is now enabled for feed entities under admin/config/services/aggregator
  • Two view modes are available under the "Manage display" tab: "Default" and "Summary"

API changes

  • aggregator_feed_source theming function is renamed to aggregator_feed to match what usually happens with other entities in core..eg node
  • aggregator_summary_items and aggregator_summary theming functions removed

I am not entirely sure about hook_entity_extra_field_info() tbh..but this is a quite old patch, i just splitted it out from #2154781: Convert aggregator/sources and aggregator/opml to views
I am now studying #2010930: [META] Apply formatters and widgets to rendered entity base fields (all besides node.title), it seems that there might be no need to use it

ParisLiakos’s picture

Ok, i got it:) great stuff happening in D8 :)
Anyway, i fixed the form ones, i would prefer to switch to formatters in a followup, preferebaly after the Node conversion, because many susefull stuff aggregator needs are added there..eg timestamp formatter

Yeah, we only need extra fields for stuff that we can't handle with formatters/widgets. Thanks for working on this, on my review list :)

Berdir’s picture

I think that test fail means it's verifying that there no config changes left to sync at the end, looks like aggregator view display configuration has updated itself during the import, we should make sure that the provide the correct file as an import...

Will ask @alexpott to verify that...

So the issue is with entity.view_display.aggregator_feed.aggregator_feed.default the order is being swapped around for some reason.

  bundle: aggregator_feed
  mode: default
  content:
-   items:
-     weight: 0
    checked:
      weight: 0
    image:
      weight: 1
    description:
--- 4,13 ----
  bundle: aggregator_feed
  mode: default
  content:
    checked:
      weight: 0
+   items:
+     weight: 0
    image:
      weight: 1
    description:

And this is because checked and items have the same weight.

Is there any way we can get these tags in template?

The goal is to let these deal with the data and let the templates deal with marking that data up.

I can't think of a way so I thought I'd ask.

Berdir’s picture

@#18: A lot of that markup will go away when we can switch to formatters for things like the updated and description fields, then those will get the default field template classes/markup. I wouldn't worry too much about that now..

ParisLiakos’s picture

thanks @joelpittet for the review! those hide() were old cp's :) updated them to reflect the new way of doing this.
The prefix/suffix tags..yeah, i only put them there to simulate the old markup and to actually have some wrappers..When those are converted to formatters, i will then be able to use the regular field wrappers and we can get rid of them

Thank you @ParisLiakos for fixing those changes. @Berdir it's good to know the plan, is there an issue showing this change to formatters? Maybe it should be a child of this issue or related or something?

ParisLiakos’s picture

The node issue is the one is the one that will provide the timestamp formatters i need to build upon..and for the description field there is already an issue

got rid many todos. i hope this is ready to go now. Only leftover is the description field which will be resolved in the issue linked above

5. Some could be formatters and some of those already have @todo's, but extra fields in general is still a valid concept, one example is items. That's a list of something and doesn't exist as a field, so it is "extra".
6. Maybe should be moved from a view mode check to a $display->getComponent() check, which respects the current view mode setting?
7. he visually hidden thing actually makes it tricky, because you don't want a space if it is hidden, so it needs to be inside? Weird but correct I think.
8. You did. Dependency on the view mode, this is the display.

6. I did what Berdir suggested, which required me to also provide install config for the "default" view mode, so i can get rid of More link.

That's not the right fix. Instead, you need to define the config schema for those types to core.entity.schema.yml, see entity_view_display.field.number_unformatted as an example.
