[Planning] Standardize Editors + Remaining bugs

[sashadev-sky]

Description

I am helping out with the winter prioritization session so have been reviewing recent work. I made a parsed down summary of what's left over from the Editor Overhaul project for Research Note Editor & Wiki Editor, which could really be standardized. I ended up with a lot of bullets, so decided to remove the specifics from the session discussion because it's overkill and move it here.

This wasn't signed off by anyone so feel free to change the "[Planning]" title - it's just building on the work Emily did on standardizing the toolbars.

Linking this to #630 because it is ,most likely in some way interdependent with it.

Task List

These should all be fixed, but BOLD bullets are in my opinion showstoppers.

PublicLab.Editor:

• Numbering is reset if photos are in the list Numbering is reset if there are photos in the list  #128
• Custom insert doesn’t properly insert a wiki as a grid

Research Note Editor:

• Toolbar still needs a positioning (UI) fix
• Center formatting breaks if you toggle to markdown mode, and can’t fix it by toggling back to rich text Using center-alignment button in Markdown mode : #428

Wiki Editor:

• Save and Recover buttons don’t work properly
• Can’t add tags before publishing
• An error creating a new wiki gets you redirected to a form with the Research Editor interface (and publishing breaks)
  If you publish a wiki with a duplicate title, you will lose all you work and be redirected to the other wikis page
• Revert button doesn't work properly
• Can’t delete a wiki that has more than 1 contributor
• If you publish a wiki with a title that already exists, on publish you will be redirected to that existing wiki and lose all you work

Looking for some input here about availability and thoughts. I think it would be "small wrap-up contract for editor overhaul"?

Hi @sashadev-sky it's great to have a fresh look across all this.
For all, i wish to note that the wiki deletion behavior may not have been previously documented.

@sashadev-sky can you coordinate with @sagarpreet-chadha on the short list that he assembled and is working from this month? #627 and https://pad.publiclab.org/p/editor-tasks? Are any of the ones Sasha highlighted NOT in there already? Thank you all!🌳

Hey @sashadev-sky ,
Adding to @ebarry comment above, I have made tracking issue here:
#627 (comment)
Thanks 😄

[jywarren]

Hi all, this is great, thank you!

Numbering is reset ...

Noting that we'd suggested a GitHub Markdown style fix but @sashadev-sky also discovered a workaround

Custom insert doesn’t properly insert a wiki as a grid

Let's open a breakout issue for this and see if @keshav234156 has thoughts on it? Perhaps we can start with a test demonstrating the issue. Thanks!

Test example: https://github.com/publiclab/PublicLab.Editor/blob/main/test/ui-testing/CustomInsert.test.js#L8

Also what was the specific issue with the toolbar? Noting theres work on this in #600 #599 #496 #522 and others, so may need to clarify what the problem + solution are, since the original issue flipped back and forth a few times due to varying user preferences. Thanks!

@ebarry none of these are on #627
