atg-dynadmin-repository

###What's this project? Simple user script for GreaseMonkey (firefox) or TamperMonkey (google chrome) plugins, which adds a couple of useful and user-friendly features to repository pages of "Dynamo admin" http UI of ATG platform. (think localhost:8080/dyn/admin/nucleus/)

If you don't feel like reading this readme.md, I have a spoiler: there are screenshots on the very end of this readme ;-)

###What features are added?

1. New repository-level based UI-buttons, allowing you to quickly perform following actions:

• Invalidate repository caches

• Restart repository

• Generate SQL (DDL) for the repository

  Note: So you basically don't need to hunt-down the "invalidateCaches" method over and over again

2. New repository-item-level based UI buttons allowing you to quickly:

• generate <query-items> script template for specified repository item

• generate <add-item> script template for specified repository item

• generate <remove-item> script template for specified repository item

• generate <add-item> script template for specified repository item - including <set-property> tags for (either just required or all) item's properties

  Because nobody really likes to type stuff like <query-items item-descriptor="category">ALL</query-items> over and over again..

  For all of these buttons, there's a "secondary" mode: if you shift-click the button : eg. queries will be performed immediatelly after the click

3. Whenever you execute a query, the browser will jump to the "Results:" section of the page.

No more annoying scrolling / searching!

4. Some new useful keyboard shortcuts:

• Alt+x = jump to XML (repository query) editor
• Alt+t = jump to the start of repository Table (the one containing items & their properties)
• Alt+s = jump to repository cache Statistics
• Alt+r = jump to query Results
• Alt+o = open repository choOser modal window (user can manage his own "bookmarks")
• Alt+c = jump to Charts with cache hit/miss
• Ctrl+Enter (in XML editor) = execute the query

5. XML syntax highlighting

• for query editor (XML-highlight-as-you-type)
• for query results
• for "Examine Repository Template Definition" page

6. Repository cache-miss percentage statistics

• (not so) fancy graphs at the bottom of the page (arguably useful)

7. Clickable values in query results

• if the property behind <set-property> tag in query results is a reference to another repository item (item-type or component-item-type) then the value will be clickable.
• If you click the link, it will get you to the referenced item

###FAQ

• Q: Why is the quality of the code so terrible ?

  • It was written "hack-until-it-somehow-works" approach
  • Features were randomly added without any planning.
  • I'm not a JS developer
  • I don't have time for complete rewrite (the code deserves it!)

• Q: What if I just have some good idea about another cool feature?

  • Then don't be shy to tell me. If it will sound good (and will be easy-enough to implement) I might add it. Even better: you might implement it and share it ;-)

• Q: Can I commit changes, fork this,..?

  • Sure! Any help is appriciated.
