1. When the list is long, scrolling back up to hit to search
button is annoying.
2. If you select too many, there's no way to know if you're
going to wind up constructing a search with 0 results thus
wasting your time.
I've been thinking about this for a while but couldn't think of
the perfect way to implement it. I still haven't, so instead I'm
just starting with something and we'll see how to improve later.
At any rate, I can update the rest of the system to expect Albums
coming out of search so that if I ever have a better algorithm
everything else will already be ready for it.
For this first experiment, just any photos that are part of an album
will send that album out as a result. It doesn't even respect the
limit parameter, it's really just to see how it feels to use.
With a name like add_searchtag you'd think it'd be past the point
of reading box input, and deeper into the abstraction zone. But nope,
it wasn't. I'll try to take this a few steps further from here too.
I think at one point I was using full qualnames on the tag objects
in the mmf uls. But now they just show their base name, so this
code is useless. And I don't think I'll reinstate it because tags
have multiple parents now and I don't want to implement all the
lineage checking in the client js. We'll just let the server handle
the slightly less efficient query.
Unfortunately, when adjusting the box's value, it causes the datalist
to disappear, and it only comes back after you press another key.
I can't figure out how to make the datalist reappear automatically
with js.
Accidentally commited the number 250 on search.html earlier. Oops.
Anyway I was finding 100 too limiting sometimes.
I will think about making this configurable eventually.
- common.css, removed html and body margins so that using
full height #content_body will not create a scrollbar.
Simplifies the "fill remaining space" construct I use a lot.
Added more css variables, I'm thinking about future theming.
- photo_card.css, slightly heightened to improve name clipping.
- clipboard.html, added a small screen mode.
- login.html, centered the boxes and fixed message area being
too small due to a previous change.
- search.html, simplified some conditional texts.
Instead of embedding the entire tag list in the search.html template
every single time, this script loads the tags from the new,
cache-enabled endpoint /all_tags.json. Then we can use html5
datalists to create autocomplete forms on the search and photo pages.
I found that the strict heirarchy was not satisfying the situation
where one tag is the intersection of two others, but we can only
pick one as the parent
For example, does red_jacket belong under clothes.red_clothes or
clothes.jackets? A search for "red_clothes AND jackets" might
give us someone wearing red pants and a black jacket, so this
definitely needs to be a separate tag, but picking only one
parent for it is not sufficient. Now, a search for red_clothes
and a search for jackets will both find our red_jacket photo.
The change also applies to Albums because why not, and I'm sure
a similar case can be made.
Unfortunately this means tags no longer have one true qualname.
The concept of qualnames has not been completely phased out but
it's in progress.
This commit is very big because I was not sure for a long time
whether to go through with it, and so much stuff had to change
that I don't want to go back and figure out what could be grouped
together.
It was getting difficult to remember which of the normalizers
use None and which don't. So let's try to be a little more consistent
and just use empty sets, etc, so the caller can rely on receiving a
set instead of having to check for None.
Also renamed search parameter authors->author to be more in line
with the singular form of extension.
