Patch for Sorting Channels in Mythweb.

[jochen]

I dind't find my old ticket with this patch, so i created a new one.

Patch Updated to work with new mythweb configuration style. Still only usefull if you only have one videosource or not any overlapping channels if you have multiple sources.

No Idea how it can usefull be done when we have more sources with overlapping channels, because i have 3 dvb cards wich are all on the same source.

If someone has ideas, mail them...

I can see where this will be useful.

Can you work on the interface a bit. The floating number is a little confusing, as well as I have duplicates in my list where I don't in my channel editor window.

Care to update the patch?

[jochen]

I can work on it...

Maybe the duplicates came from, that you have channel with the same channum, but this is not supported. I'm not sure how to display that channels are grouped (same channum) or how to allow users from my interface to do that!

What do you mean with the loating number is a little confusing?? I don't understand...

Screen shot of the floating number

[Rob Smith]

Attached is a screen shot. Marked is the floating number. I know it's the channel number, but it's not marked as such in the ui, as well as it's set to 0 by default, so it starts up with a floating zero on the screen.

Grouped channels should be considered as the same channel, so it should be displayed as such.

i know that with the grouped channels. but is there a way in html to group listbox items??

[anonymous]

there's select's optgroups, but I don't think it does what we want/need. What about just merging them via php and thus the select would be something like value="10-1,10-2,10-3" or whatever you need? Then you can just split on , and get the full list of affected channels

[jochen]

I now think i show that channels are grouped by chossing a different background color!

I need to know how does myth work with grouped channels, because i do not use, i have only one source on my system.

Is it so that channels with the same number are grouped channels???

[Rob Smith]

That is correct jochen.

[jochen]

i now started to work on an new patch, where you could group channel in the listbox wich i used to sort... grouped channels will than be combined to the same channel number. i think i get it ready in februray, because im on work the whole january...

if someone has still any suggestions for this, please post...

[danielk]

jochen, when the new patch is ready please reopen.. since it's been 5 months I'm assuming this got forgotten..

[jochen]

sorry for not doing anything in the last time...

at the moment i'm working on this. but i wanted to use a better drag drop listbox, where i can also easily group the channels. for this i wanted to use some functions of extjs.com. if i do this is that possible that it then can be added to trunk, or is there a better javscript toolbox with a similar functionality wich i'm allowed to use?

[Rob Smith]

extjs is more work then it's worth imho, We have ​http://script.aculo.us/ already in the code, see ​http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/droppables for an example of drag and drop with scriptaculous.
