Modals are getting in the way of the buttons

funkjunky opened this issue · 6 comments

I think this is recent. When I tried your app a few days ago it worked fine. I can't click any of the buttons, because there appears to be a bunch of hidden modals in the way. If I display block them all, then the buttons work [ but then the modals are obviously display: none =P]

Unfortunately I have zero interest in working in Java, so I won't be contributing, although I'm considering porting it as a client-side app... although I'm not liking that I have to convert this weird groovy templating language into something less proprietary and more universal like Handlebars. Regardless, nice job; cool app.

I haven't deployed any changes in a long time, however I have been
rewriting it with handlebars templates (and getting rid of groovy and
grails). I've noticed with Chrome that the behavior of the modals has been
changing depending on the version, so maybe that's a jQuery issue.

Do you find the dual editor pane useful or would a single page be better?

I think if they were in sync it's nifty, in case power users want to edit the json directly. However I couldn't figure out how to apply the changes each way... but my guess is the arrows do it, but the modal was blocking those buttons =P

I am very interested in a Handlebars rewrite! That would allow non-java people to extend the editor.

The only thing I'm really waiting for is to have my pull request for Handlebars support added to Dropwizard.

I switched everything to Java (using the Dropwizard framework) and Handlebars for the rendered templates. I also reworked the UI a little to make things simpler, so hopefully the new modal windows aren't causing problems.
