Let record navigation follow a named list, and be overridable - #1540
Conversation
Record navigation reads its siblings from the controller's primary list. That is
the right default, but it makes navigation unavailable on any controller whose
primary list is deliberately a subset: a queue filtered to pending records has no
neighbours for a record outside it, so the buttons silently disappear on the
contexts that view those records.
`recordNavigation` now also accepts the name of a list definition, resolved per
form context using the same lookup `initForm()` already uses for
`"{$context}[form]"`. A controller can navigate an archive list on `preview`
while `update` keeps navigating the queue:
preview:
recordNavigation: archive
Resolving it per context also makes `recordNavigation: false` work inside a
context, which it did not before -- only the top level key was read.
Separately, `formRenderRecordNavigation()` now resolves the getter through
`$this->controller`, as `formExtendFields()`, `formExtendRefreshData()` and the
other extension points on this behavior already do. Without that a controller
cannot override `formGetRecordNavigation()` at all: the behavior calls its own
copy, so the override is never reached and the only way to influence navigation
is to reimplement the render helper verbatim.
Defaults are unchanged. The two tests covering them pass with or without this
change; the three covering the new behaviour fail without it.

Problem
FormControllerrecord navigation reads its siblings from the controller's primary list. That is the right default, but it leaves navigation unavailable on any controller whose primary list is deliberately a subset.A concrete case: a controller with an
indexlist filtered to pending records and ahistorylist of completed ones. Open a completed record andformGetRecordNavigation()looks for it among the pending keys, doesn't find it, and returnscurrent => null, soformRenderRecordNavigation()renders nothing. The previous/next buttons simply never appear on the screens that view those records.There is currently no way to influence that from the controller either — see the second change below.
Changes
1.
recordNavigationaccepts a list definition, resolved per context.falsestill disables it, and the default is unchanged. Resolution uses the same per-context lookupinitForm()already uses for"{$context}[form]", so it follows the existing convention rather than adding one.This also makes
recordNavigation: falsework inside a context, which it did not before — only the top-level key was read.2.
formRenderRecordNavigation()resolves the getter through$this->controller.As it stands the behavior calls its own
formGetRecordNavigation(), so a controller override of it is never reached, and the only way to influence navigation is to reimplement the render helper verbatim. Every other extension point on this behavior (formExtendFields(),formExtendRefreshData(),formExtendRefreshFields()…) already resolves through the controller; this brings it in line.Compatibility
No behaviour changes for existing consumers: with no
recordNavigationset, or set totrue/falseat the top level, the resolution is identical to before.Tests
modules/backend/tests/behaviors/FormControllerRecordNavigationListTest.php, five tests covering the primary-list default, a record outside the primary list, navigating a named list from a context, disabling per context, and overriding the getter from a controller.Worth noting for review: the two tests that assert the unchanged default behaviour pass with or without this patch, and the three covering the new behaviour fail without it — so the suite distinguishes the change from the status quo rather than just passing.
