Disable 'Save' and show loading indicator while Survey Designer elements are loading

[sebastianclarke]

When you click 'Design Survey' on an existing survey, depending on system load, it can take some time for the existing fields and elements of the survey to load in and show available for editing. Until this time the survey shows as 'Unsynchronised' but this appears exactly the same as when editing a new survey for the first time, and there is no indication to the user that a load is in progress. If 'Save' is pressed during this period, the current state of the survey is overwritten with a blank one.

Therefore I think that there should be a loading indicator during this process and editing of the fields and saving should be disabled until the existing survey is correctly loaded in to stop users losing their work

I did a couple of changes:

1. the application is checking on the user's space if the survey already exists instead of the public space so it's reducing the time of the loaded survey.
2. I disabled the button while step 1 takes place
3. added loading button.

Is this on live? I am looking at the page
https://dyfi.cobwebproject.eu/geonetwork/private/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/34126aec-5b47-4d10-90c1-2e498e61f110
when logged in as admin, loading the survey designer, and still just seeing
an empty form

Are you the creator of the survey?

[sebastianclarke]

no, I thought admin user might have rights to modify anyway, I'll ask the
creator to check...

This is what I changed. I am not checking on the 233... (public folder) but on the actual user's space now.

[sebastianclarke]

would that not mean that any modifications would also happen in the user's
space, and therefore not be reflected on the public survey available for
syncing - or does the 'save' operation save in both?

Nope, every time you save there's a parameter (public=true/false) that is transferred to the pcapi that does the actual save. If public=true then the pcapi copies the survey to the public folder.

[sebastianclarke]

great, thanks for the clarification
