mockup reverse zone

This is based on feedback received during a technical training.

Reverse lookup zone:
Currently, when opening a DNS Reverse lookup zone, we get a listing with all pointer records, their type (Pointer record) and the their ldap path.

The last two are imho unnecessary.
-> We can't add any other type than pointer records to the Reverse lookup zone via UMC so the 'Type' column could be removed.
-> AFAIS we can't specify the ldap path when creating a pointer record via UMC, so the 'Path' column could be removed.

Instead, we should add columns with much more relevant information, like the corresponding FQDN. 


Forward lookup zone:
Likewise, when opening a DNS Forward lookup zone, we get a listing with all Alias, Host, Text (well, not really, see Bug#25356) and Service records, their type and the their ldap path.

-> Again, I can't specify the ldap path when creating a record via UMC, so the 'Path' column could be removed.

Instead, we should add a column with the corresponding FQDN (Alias record, Service record) or the corresponding IP address (Host record).

I made dilettantish mockups, see attached files.

To be honest, I would expect that a DNS overview would first and foremost show me the IP adresses and the FQDNs / hostnames at one glance since this is imho the most frequently needed information. Right now I have to click on each single entry to get the desired information.

Comment 3 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-06-10 18:30:38 CEST
I had a look at the code: It is currently not possible to define the column fields. We could adjust the handlers+udm-backend+udm-frontend to be able to specify columns. But even then we have the problem that the fields in the mockup are multivalue, so they must be joined e.g. with ', '.
Comment 4 Florian Best univentionstaff 2015-06-30 17:56:10 CEST
It's easy if Bug #32758 is implemented.

Please QA also that the forward zones in the tree view are also shown before the reverse zones. (I reverted the rest of Bug #40831 to postpone that change for later).
r67904 | Bug #40831: display forward zones first, remove superordinate root from tree

Comment 10 Jürn Brodersen univentionstaff 2016-03-14 18:40:58 CET
At the end of the values of the Forward Lookup Zones are always three commas.
E.g.: 'dc0.univention.intranet.,,,'
Are these supposed to be there?

I fixed the formatting function to ignore empty arrays :)
Comment 12 Jürn Brodersen univentionstaff 2016-03-16 13:48:39 CET
What I checked:
Added entries for Forward and Reverse Zones
Checked how values are displayed (multiple entries, long entries)
Checked sorting in the tree
(For sorting in the grid see: Bug 32027)

Changes: Looks nice :)
YAML: OK.
