DV, Order of groups?

Hi Jan,
I created some groups, but they show up in a different order than I defined them. Is that normal? If yes, what is the order? Can I set the order myself?
Code: Select all
var dv = AppGiniHelper.DV;
dv.addGroup("grp_SettingsAttachments", "Anhänge", [...]);
dv.addGroup("grp_SettingsLocation", "Platzdefinition", [...]);
dv.addGroup("grp_SettingsJobliste", "Job-Liste", [...]);
dv.addGroup("grp_SettingsRest", "Diverses", [...]);
Looks like this:

Yes, I cleared the browser cache and reloaded the page (tried multiple times).

Hi Olaf,
that looks strange. I am going to have a look at this issue.
I don't think this will have a different effect, but anyway, can you please try the same using chaining technique like this:
Code: Select all
var dv = AppGiniHelper.DV
.addGroup("grp_SettingsAttachments", "Anhänge", [...])
.addGroup("grp_SettingsLocation", "Platzdefinition", [...])
.addGroup("grp_SettingsJobliste", "Job-Liste", [...])
.addGroup("grp_SettingsRest", "Diverses", [...])
;
Sorry for inconvenience!

Hi Jan,
no change with your suggestion.
I removed all ; in the end, expect the very latest which I placed on the new line as well. Also removed the dv. before all addGroup's.

Hi Olaf,
good news is:
I can reproduce this behaviour.
bad news is:

Gonna do some research today and hopefully find a workaround for now and a bugfix for next version.
Stay tuned!

Hi Jan,
great, that it's a reproducible behaviour. Take your time. And thank you already.

It seems to be related to read only fields:
As soon as I put a readonly field into a group, that group will be placed top. So I will have to do some research on this and see if something has changed with form-control-static recently.

Workaround for now
Move the groups using jQuery:
Code: Select all
$j("#grp_4").insertAfter("#grp_3");

Hi Jan,
thank you. For me it's on a settings page only at this time, so I will wait for the next version - where I am sure you will have it fixed.

Hi Jan,
just dropped to my mind: In my case I do NOT have a read only value in the groups. I will drop you a screenshot in PM.

You are right, @Olaf, and my first guess was wrong: It has nothing to do with form-control-static, it seems.
Digging deeper, I remember the panels will be
sorted in order of the fields. The position of the first field of a group decides about the placement of the panel.
Solution
You can change the order of the panels by changing the order of the fields in your model (in AppGini itself).
Workaround
For a more flexible positioning you can move panels to every other place using jQuery:
Code: Select all
$j("#grp_4").insertAfter("#grp_3");
I consider modifing the group placement algorithm to better reflect the sorting-order according to serial order of .addGroup()-commands in the javascript code. For backward-compatibility reasons this sorting behaviour should become configurable.
