| AC-3: Drzewko folderow renderuje sie poprawnie | Pass | Sidebar with tree, context menu, inline rename, expand/collapse |
Accomplishments
- Custom taxonomy
media_folderregistered forattachmentpost type (hierarchical, hidden UI, REST enabled) - 5 AJAX endpoints: create, rename, delete, move, get_folders — all with security checks
- Folder tree sidebar with context menu (right-click), inline rename, expand/collapse, active state
Files Created/Modified
| File | Change | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/media-folder-pro.php |
Created | Main plugin file — singleton, hooks, asset loading |
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/includes/class-taxonomy.php |
Created | MFP_Taxonomy — register, get_folder_tree, folder_has_children, would_create_cycle |
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/includes/class-ajax-handler.php |
Created | MFP_Ajax_Handler — 5 AJAX endpoints with validation |
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/assets/css/admin.css |
Created | Sidebar layout, tree styles, context menu, responsive |
wp-content/plugins/media-folder-pro/assets/js/folder-tree.js |
Created | Vanilla JS folder tree — CRUD, context menu, inline edit |
Decisions Made
| Decision | Rationale | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Plugin renamed to media-folder-pro | User request | All references use MFP_ prefix |
| Author: Project Pro | User request | Plugin header and URI set |
| Vanilla JS (no jQuery) | Modern, no dependency | Simpler, lighter bundle |
| Empty-folder-only delete | Safety — prevent accidental data loss | Users must move content before deleting |
Deviations from Plan
Summary
| Type | Count | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Scope changes | 1 | Plugin name change — no functional impact |
Total impact: Naming only, no functional deviation.
Details
- Plugin renamed from
rm2-media-folderstomedia-folder-proper user request during APPLY. All class prefixes changed fromRM2_Media_Folders_toMFP_.
Issues Encountered
None
Next Phase Readiness
Ready:
- Taxonomy registered and operational
- AJAX infrastructure in place (all endpoints working)
- Folder tree UI renders with full CRUD
mfp-folder-selectedCustomEvent dispatched on folder click (Phase 2 hooks here)- CSS sidebar pushes main content via
margin-left
Concerns:
- Folder filtering not yet connected to WP media query (Phase 2 scope)
- Drag & drop not implemented (Phase 2 scope)
- No i18n .pot file generated yet (Phase 4)
Blockers:
- None
