Assignment UI

This one is a little oddly named, but basically it's all the user interface actions that were previously handled by the Apply tab, plus some others that have been deemed "assignments." However, not all of these are handled by a particular tab.

Assign as a chapter to a book.
- Create a pop-up interface to search for the desired book and select the desired chapter position. If the desired book doesn't exist, allow quick creation.
Assign as a translation of another page.
- Create a pop-up interface to search for other pages that would be considered translations of this page.
Assign to a social group for maintenance.
- Handled similar to before, as a tab option. It's unlikely the user will be a member of that many wiki groups. If the number of groups is over 100, use a pop-up interface.
Assign as a header to a node.
- Create a pop-up interface to search node types and individual nodes to push the header to.
Assign to a category.
- Create a pop-up interface to search categories and select the desired target. If the category doesn't exist, allow quick creation.

Since they all would use a pop-up interface of some kind, a generic assignment interface is ideal, extended as necessary.

I guess it's about time to put this "In Progress". Will need to extend the search functionality somewhat for this, but should be otherwise relatively simple.

Started coming along, and then as luck would have it, the design change I was hoping to put off until Alpha 2 needs to be made now or we'll have 250 queries on these tabs.

Starting to come along nicely. Might be able to finish this today now that the search is applying to them and things are filtering correctly in the test types. As long as there are no surprises along the way... Just a question of adjusting these filters for each type (joining the relevant table) and writing the save logic.

Only potential issues I see are with multi-select types (translations, categories). Crossing my fingers those also go smoothly.

Fixed an issue where the assignment wasn't saving. The parent type wasn't calling the right DM and the DM wasn't receiving the pageid.
Since all the changes everywhere else in the past 4 months, some filters are broken. Will fix them tomorrow.

As far as I know this is the last thing that needs to be done, but it might be more useful for tracking and user understanding to split this into multiple issues:

Add Existing Page as Chapter
Add Pages to Categories
Translation UI
Front-end Integration UI

Once the bugs mentioned in previous posts are fixed and the assignment UI in general includes a function to create a new page for assignment, this issue can be closed in favor of these child issues.

In order to add the ability to create new pages, a more generic version of the "Upload New File" button in the Attachment Chooser should be employed.

Can create new items from the assignment form now, which automatically gets selected upon creation. Closing this issue.
