This issue aims to revert some of the changes made by @C-Lodder in #14613
I am proposing to reintroduce the "show/hide-HTML"-Button and the "All/Changed Values"-Button.
I agree that many of the information displayed in the 3.x version of this view aren´t often relevant to the users. But sometimes they are needed and some of them are crucial: If i use the "Read More"-Option on my site how i´m supposed to work with this view without the content os "Full text". I basically just see half my article. Also if i have a multilingual site i would like to see whats the "Language" of the article.
I don´t think anyone questions that people need to be able to see the HTML-Tags, but if i´m just concerned with the changes in the text of the article they tend to annoy, at least if you have many inline HTML-Tags like <strong>
. Also we have to consider the Not-Programmer-User, they maybe don´t know HTML and are not able to understand what they are seeing.
Greetings,
Civer
Sounds fair enough.
Would you mind submitting a PR?
This is the vendor package being used: https://github.com/kpdecker/jsdiff
if i remember correctly the reason for the change was because of the change in library?
Can't remember. Easily fixable though
@CiverBlack can you take couple screenshots in j3 so we can visualise the changes you are referring here?
By the way there is no way to go back to the previous script as there are quite some maintainability problems with that (no uncompressed source code, no GitHub repo, the script is simply dead)
sounds good to me Brian
@dgt41 Here are the screenshots you wanted.
There are to many information displayed to get them all on my screen. So hear is a list of the entries which are displayed when show all is selected.
Field, Id, Title, Alias, Intro Text, Full text, Status, Category, Created Date, Created By, Created by Alias, Modified Date, Modified By, Start Publishing, Finish Publishing, Image Options, URL Options, Options, Ordering, Meta Keywords, Meta Description, Access, Hits, Metadata, Robots, Featured, Language, External Reference
I also just realized that it would help to be able to adjust the width of the 3 Rows.
@CiverBlack what is the output if you click on the Changed Values button?
It's basically just adding a button to hide/show the HTML tags within the changes.

@C-Lodder so that button exists?
Also didn't we discussed this and we decided to only show the things that actually have some changes or my memory fails me? If that was the case, honestly I'm against presenting the complete data, only the affected areas is the right approach from all point of views. As is this is very close to what GitHub has (or not?)
If it were down to me, I'd leave it as it is, cause it displays all changes, be it HTML or not.
But then again, not everybody works with a HTML editor , so may get very confused as what what the HTML tags are being displayed for, or what they even are.

Closing for reasons stated above.
I have to agree with you - if i compare the two then for me at least the version compare in j3 is much easier to use
