Sonataadminbundle: Configuration or Admin Class option to enable / disable mosaic list mode

[webdevilopers]

Related to my question here:
https://github.com/sonata-project/SonataAdminBundle/issues/2461#issuecomment-60731284

there seems to be no option (at least not documented yet in http://www.sonata-project.org/bundles/admin/master/doc/cookbook/recipe_customizing_a_mosaic_list.html) to disable the mosaic list view globally (except overriding the template) or oer Admin Class.

Are these options of interest?

[soullivaneuh]

Also interested.

Is mosaic disabled global option already present for now? And per class?

For the moment, I found an ugly (for my opinion) method to disable mosoaic on one admin class:

    /**
     * @param ListMapper $listMapper
     */
    protected function configureListFields(ListMapper $listMapper)
    {
        unset($this->listModes['mosaic']);

        $listMapper
            // [...]
        ;
    }

But I have 49 admin's classes on my project, It will be very painful to add this on each class.

@rande mentioned it on the _2.4_ wish list under "Mozaic view list"
https://github.com/sonata-project/SonataAdminBundle/issues/2406
@pulzarraider has tagged this issue for that milestone.

Not sure if this means that a configurable option will be available.

But there were some changes on the layout:

i added a custom BaseAdmin and added this method:

{
    /**
     * @param ListMapper $listMapper
     */
    protected function configureListFields(ListMapper $listMapper)
    {
        unset($this->listModes['mosaic']);
    }

and in my Admin:

    /**
     * @param ListMapper $listMapper
     */
    protected function configureListFields(ListMapper $listMapper)
    {
        parent::configureListFields($listMapper);
        // ...
    }

but if you manipulate the url... you are allowed to visit the mosaic view...

Any update on this? Manipulating the URL still works.

[linkito87]

Again.... Any update?

For now, i have a javascript extending standard_layout.html.twig with:

$(".fa.fa-th-large.fa-fw").parent().parent().remove();

But please, any better solution?

[clytemnestra]

I think

$this->setListMode('list');

could be a temporary solution. This disables any other mode(like tree) or custom ones, if you've made any. How's that?

@OskarStark or you can do it right in the constructor of BaseAdmin:

public function __construct($code, $class, $baseControllerName)
{
    parent::__construct($code, $class, $baseControllerName);

    // Disable mosaic list mode
    unset($this->listModes['mosaic']);
}

[OskarStark]

this is a better solution by far @kriodev 👍

but anyway we should add a configuration option, maybe it would be better to deactivate it and make it opt-in

[soullivaneuh]

@OskarStark or you can do it right in the constructor of BaseAdmin:

@kriodev Maybe something can be done on the AdminExtension too.

[krioo]

@OskarStark configuration option would be perfect indeed!

@Soullivaneuh BaseAdmin is part of my bundle and it extends \Sonata\AdminBundle\Admin\Admin if that is what you meant.

[soullivaneuh]

@kriodev No I'm just saying that you may do something on class extending AdminExtension to avoid repetition.

[krioo]

@OskarStark @Soullivaneuh I just realized that visibility of listModes property is set to protected, so there is even more elegant solution for BaseAdmin class without extending the constructor:

use Sonata\AdminBundle\Admin\Admin;

class BaseAdmin extends Admin
{
    protected $listModes = [
        'list' => array(
            'class' => 'fa fa-list fa-fw',
        ),
    ];
}

@Soullivaneuh @OskarStark hello. I created a small PR #3822 to add parameter in configuration file to show/hide mosaic button.
