ILIAS-eLearning
search: ctrl comment
It is not necessary to merge this PR. I only created it to discuss changes in ilCtrl.
The problem:
- the main menu search creates a link to the "last search result" (./ilias.php?baseClass=ilSearchControllerGUI)
- ilSearchController forwards to the last search presentation class (e.g ilLuceneSearchGUI, ilSearchGUI,...)
- without the new (deprecated) call of setCmdClass() a ctrl error is triggered "ilCtrl cannot find a path for 'ilobjectcopygui' that reaches 'ilSearchControllerGUI'"
Prior releases of ilCtrl stored the "forward class" in ilCtrl->current_node, this seems to be not the case anymore.
I suspect that similar errors appear in other areas. E.g in the calendar service.
How do we proceed here?
Hi @smeyer-ilias and thanks for opening this discussion!
I assume your GUI is able to create valid link targets to the corresponding (searched) GUIs initially, right? If so, wouldn't it be possible to remember the last link-target instead of just the target-class?
Kind regards!
Hi @smeyer-ilias
I close this PR because IMO this issue should be addressed by a different approach. I won't be adding this automatic node-appendage-mechanism again because I really wan't to enforce some more static behaviour. Thanks for your understanding.
Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss alternative solutions.
Kind regards!
