gitweb was missing the hint hover box. So that was added.
Also, the positioning of the form was absolute and it didn't
vertically align on all pages. The element has been moved inline
with the navigation links (which now are contained in a div) and
flexbox is used to obtain sane alignment of the navigation links
and search form. For those new to flexbox,
"justify-content: space-between" basically says to maximize space
elements. You can use it to easily get left and right justified
containers without having to worry about width, floating, etc.
"align-items: center" centers all items in a cross-axis. I've
literally wasted hours trying to figure out both these problems
before flexbox. Flexbox is amazing.
Flexbox has been supported by Chrome and Firefox for a few years.
But it is only supported by IE 11. I'm willing to wager that
people using this either won't be using IE or will be using IE 11.
So I'm willing to be a bit aggressive in adopting flexbox because
it makes CSS alignment so much easier.
Paper has it on all pages. Not sure why gitweb doesn't. I think it
should be everywhere because it is a useful feature.
Also, we weren't consistently adding the HTML in the same place. This
was OK since the element is absolutely positioned. But this bothered
me a bit, so I went ahead and fixed it.
Let's make gitweb templates use symbolic revision in navigation links.
The majority of links (log, filelog, annotate, etc) still use node hashes.
Some pages don't have permanent links to current node hash (so it's not very
easy to go from /rev/tip to /rev/<tip hash>), this will be addressed in future
patches.
It's easy to miss the closing </tr> tag when it's not on its own line. Some
neighboring blocks also already use this clearer style.
(In 7e841ecf66c5 I didn't even think grepping for this, but this patch should
now cover every occurrence).
Without this, repository paths or names containing e.g. & characters or html
tags yielded strange results, possibly allowing cross-site scripting attacks.
The purpose of this change is to make it much easier to navigate up the
repository tree when the hg web server is used to serve more than one
repository.
A "URL breadcrumb" is a path where each of the path items can be clicked to go
to the corresponding path page.
This lets you go up the folder hierarchy very quickly. For example, when showing
the list of repositories in http://myserver/myteams/myprojects, the following
"breadcrumb" will be shown:
Mercurial > myteams > myprojects
Clicking on "myprojects" reloads the page. Clicking on "myteams" goes up one
folder. Clicking on the leftmost "Mercurial" goes to the server root.
This "breadcrumb" also appears on all repository pages. For example on the
summary page of the repository at http://myserver/myteams/myprojects/myrepo the
following will be shown:
Mercurial > myteams > myprojects > myrepo / summary
This change has been applied to all templates that already had a link to the
main repository page (i.e. gitweb, monoblue, paper and coal) plus to the index
page of the spartan template.
In order to make the breadcumb links stand out the some of the template styles
have been customized.
Adds new web command to the core, ``comparison``, which enables colorful
side-by-side change display, which for some might be much easier to work with
than the standard line diff output. The idea how to implement comes from the
SonicHq extension.
The web interface gets a new link to call the comparison functionality. It lets
users configure the amount of context lines around change blocks, or to show
full files - check help (also in this changeset) for details and defaults. The
setting in hgrc can be overridden by adding ``context=<value>`` to the request
query string. The comparison creates addressable lines, so as to enable sharing
links to specific lines, just as standard diff does.
Incorporates updates to all web related styles.
Known limitations:
* the column diff is done against the first parent, just as the standard diff
* this change allows examining diffs for single files only (as I am not sure if
examining the whole changeset in this way would be helpful)
* syntax highlighting of the output changes is not performed (enabling the
highlight extension has no influence on it)
Clicking on the logo image/text in the hgweb interface brings the
user to the Mercurial project page. The majority of users expect that
this would bring them to the top level index. I have added a new template
variable named `logourl' which allows an administrator to change this
behavior. To stay compatible with existing behavior, `logourl' will
default to http://mercurial.selenic.com/. This change is very useful in
large installations where jumping to the index is common.
Remove the `install_package_data' subclass of `install_data' and use
the `package_data' functionality provided by distutils instead. As
package data must be located within the package directory, the data
files are now generated in the build directory.
To simplify the functionality of this change, the top-level `doc' and
`templates' directories have been moved into the `mercurial' package
directory.
