FeaturePanelForm need more options documented and/or examples

[woodbri]

The feature panel form widget needs options documented and/or examples. Explicitly, it is not clear what options are available OR where they should be placed in the XML.

1. how to I change the width and height of the featurepanel window?

   <windowoptions>
    <width>400</width>
    <height>500</height>
   </windowoptions>
   

Some options should go in the top level <options> tag and some go in the <windowoptions> tag and others go in the <field> tag.

2. <autoScroll>true</autoScroll> should be documented this is a common need if you have more then 2-3 items.

3. What do I need to do if I want the featurepanel to appear in say the east or west panel in the layout?
   • That's currently not fully supported yet since it has never been used/tested. Still, partial work is already done, but it has not been tested. You can try <inwindow>false</inwindow> and call the drawWidget function with a loop in your template.xslt see: ​more
4. If in an accordion panel does it open automatically on edits or is there an option to make it open when in edit mode?
   • It should (that feature is implemented in code, but has never been tested).
5. width is in pixels not characters like in an html form
   • This is an ExtJS limitation ​more. It's already mentioned that all properties come from ext. See ​more.
6. The docs need to standalone for commonly used features. For most people that are not familiar with Ext or GeoExt libs already they will not be useful and they do not indicate which section of the XML a tag should go in,
