Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect, P1)

Description

[Omar Bajraszewski]

Attachment: Screenshot

Opening tabs in Tb 3 breaks calendar view. The main calendar isn't visible.

1)Open a message in a tab
2)Switch to calendar mode

Result:
The main calendar isn't visible

Lightning 0.6 a1 2007110304 and Tb version 3.0a1pre (2007110302)

I also noticed that closing the opened tab in calendar mode and switching back to mail mode broke mail mode too.
Notice there's no mail list above message pane

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

Lightning doesn't support multiple windows/tabs, see e.g. Bug 332401.

Comment 3

[Gary Kwong [:gkw] [:nth10sd] (NOT official MoCo now)]

This is pretty easy to hit on and is important if TB 3 were to incorporate Lightning. Confirming as well.

(This also depends on the tab implementation in TB 3)

Comment 4

[Bryan Clark (DevTools PM) [:clarkbw]]

I've placed some details up on the moz-wiki for tab integration.  The details would be blocking bug 446306 to be implemented.

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Bryan, do I understand this correctly, that you want TB to have two toolbars (Mail and Calendar), when the Calendar tab is active?

Comment 6

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

If I'm understanding the mockups correctly, there don't appear to be any sort of visual cues about upcoming tasks/events nor a mini-month.  I'd be interested in understanding more about the thinking behind removing those things...

I think with the extra space of the tab and toolbar we can't have a usable calendar.  The best approach is the start removing the toolbar items as shown in the future mockups.  There's already progress on a new toolbar prototype like what is in the mockups.

Are you talking about the today pane?  If not there are some ideas to place more calendar and task features in the Folder Pane itself.  Take a look at the following mockup which gives some minimal jump points, similar options can be made available for tasks and even contacts.

[Andrew Sutherland [:asuth] (he/him)]

The current tab implementation limitations affect ThunderBar too.  I will take this bug and attempt to provide patches to calendar to use the to-be-revised tab model.  Calendar people, please speak up if you already have an effort underway.

Comment 9

[Andrew Sutherland [:asuth] (he/him)]

Attachment: a first pass at integrating lightning into a revised thunderbird tab model, includes thunderbird tab changes too

Here is my current patch, including both the Thunderbird changes and the lightning changes.  My tree was apparently last updated 9/26, so I would not be surprised if that does not apply cleanly to the trunk.

The only deficiency I am aware of is that if you add new tasks, they don't show up until you change tabs.  I do not know if I introduced this or it was already there.

I don't think it's review time yet, but I'd appreciate preliminary feedback from calendar folks.

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Wow, +660 lines and -1420 lines. Good cleanup :)

I see however, that you're removing the mode toolbar. Does your patch already include Bryan's thoughts as outlined in bug 218999 comment #89?

approximately, see below

(Quoting from bug 218999 comment #89)
> Seems like the initial stages are this (in order):
> 1) getting the tab bar to show by default
> 2) naming the default tab bar (i keep using All Mail, even though I think it
> should just sail Mail - bike sheds are best colored aquamarine)
> 3) add new tab button for opening a new tab
> 4) add tab shortcut area for opening different tab types

1) yes, done
2) yes, but the initial tab gets named after the folder it is displaying, if any.  This is primarily for consistency of implementation; I'm not sure what differentiates one folder view from another view, apart from I made it impossible to close that default tab.
3) no, primarily because I think Bryan is thinking about having a blank tab for the default add case, and I didn't want to get into that yet.
4) yes.  I added the small icons from the mode bar for calendar and tasks to the right of the tab bar.  Clicking on them will open a calendar/task tab if they don't exist yet and bring you to them if they do exist.  I didn't want to get into attempting to have multiple calendar tabs at this time.

I will update the patch; per davida it has bitrotted.

The patch works as promoted  and looks very good. As we discussed on irc we should get it in as fast as possible and then tidy up the code around it consecutively.
I appreciate that you hung yourself so deep into the calendar project code and removed so much dispensible code.

Feels scary-late to be throwing things at the tree and iterating, but I don't know how else we're going to get there. r=me with the nits from IRC, which I think were:

* whitespace from http://beaufour.dk/jst-review/?patch=341994
* turn the comment about "we need to create the rep for the tab that already exists" into either something easier to comprehend, or an involved joke about the tab getting rid of a bad reputation
* for each over arrays still considered harmful, sucks to be you (and to be all the rest of us, too, of course)
* do what you meant to with the commented-out t.minWidth in openTab
* document the fun bits about putting the panelcontainer in the XUL so it can have children in a more thorough way than just by having a commented-out <tabpanels/> in the XBL.

And in general: dude, you rock. I already feel like I understand the new code better than I did the old.

Comment 17

Oh, and the nit I forgot, a couple of instances of a space before the /> in self-closing elements. Curse you, fake-XHTML, for making that seem so natural to all our fingers!

v3 integration with philor changes and more documentation [checked-in comment #19]

I am going to leave this open and for davida/drivers to decide when to close, since this is a tb-integration-blocking bug.  Also, more polish will be required at the minimum.  (I believe the calendar toolbar has background styling issues on OS X.)  I suspect we may want to spin most polish issues off onto their own bugs that block this bug?

bienvenu: you may still want to take a look at this patch/changeset and sanity check things.

It's worse than that.  I moved the calendar/tasks toolbar into the tab area for lightning (clarkbw!).  On OS X, toolbars have different background colors than content areas, at least some of the time.  So it looks funky.

Attachment: make non-message-folder errors not happen/show up in the error console [checked in comment #27]

if you click on non-message-folders in the folder tree, certain globals will be null, resulting in errors.  Requesting bienvenu review for this and also any related systemic oversights I may have made :)

Attachment: [checked in] remove lightning/calendar strings that are no longer used as a result of the committed patch

The customize toolbar strings are no longer relevant.  The menu option to toggle the mode toolbar is also moot, but it lived in calendar proper's strings rather than lightning's.  (The strings for the mode toolbar are still used, though.)

this looks OK, other than a slight indentation issue in the second part of the patch (maybe a -w issue). I've pulled from the repo and will try things out.

Thanks for the cleanup.

Comment 29

[David :Bienvenu]

There is still one issue I see - if I have a non-folder selected, and then open an other folder in a new tab using the context menu, the original tab gets confused about what to load when I switch back to it. It loads the same folder that was opened in the new tab, but has the tab title is the non-folder.

It's great that you're improving this code! I'm looking forward to tab session store :-)

Comment 30

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

I'm seeing occasional instances of:

Error: Ci is not defined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindowOverlay.js
Line: 1489

in my error console that I suspect are related to this patch.

Comment 31

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Ack. There was a whole chunk of review comments around that code in showTab that slipped my mind: the Ci, the busted whitespace on the brackets, and that big wad of try/catch{dump} that needs to just try what it expects might fail, and needs to catch just the error it expects to catch.

Yeah, it was particularly a bad call to use -b; I would have been better off leaving the trailing whitespace fixes in.  (Better would have been to have done the legwork to lose the spurious changes.)

Most of the try/catch stuff is inherited.  I'll try and figure out what the original code was concerned about and defuse the blocks.

For Ci, can I just provide a patch that makes sure the first javascript file loaded by messenger.xul defines the Cc/Ci/Cr/Cu aliases?  We'd put it right after globalOverlay.js and everyone could be happy.

Comment 34

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

Heh. No. If you want to file and take a bug for that, I'll try to list as many of the problems as I know (hiddenWindow, AB, toolkit, interacting with SeaMonkey devs who think it's evil, bound to be more), and if you solve them I'll love you forever, but for now, a Components.interfaces patch would be lovely.

For inherited try/catch, you're off the hook, jminta's already got a bug for that - probably what I was supposed to remember last night before I got distracted was to look at whether or not that was inherited.
