Dynamic Workflows

[ferishili]

This PR fixes #13

Description

see description in issue.

Solution

Now configuration panel is loaded, converted into ILIAS style and presented to users directly from Opencast, so you will have dynamic parameters to interact with and then those values will be sent back to opencast.

the whole concept/approach is that:

Admins:

• Plugin setting tab "Workflows" now contains 2 sub-tabs! (Settings & Workflow definitions list)
• Admin must set the workflow tags to extract from the list of workflow definitions from Opencast.
• Admins are able view/edit/delete those extracted workflows in the definitions list sub-tab
• Admins are able to define translations string for each workflow definition option in the Start Workflow list selection by providing workflow_selection_text_{workflow definition identifier} e.g. workflow_selection_text_{republish-metadata}#:#Veröffentlicht in the lang strings.
• Admins are able to reset or update the list of workflow definitions by two provided button in the in the definitions list sub-tab.

Users:

• When the list is set by admin, users will have "Start Workflow" button in the event Action menu.
• The modal with a dropdown to select configured workflows will be displayed and users are able to select one.
• Description of that wf will be displayed now (if any)
• Configuration Panel of selected WF will be displayed (if any)
• Users are able to interact with configuration panel and enter values etc.

NOTE:

This PR increase the plugin version to 5.3.2 and a db update No. 43, so it might have conflicts with current PRs!

I did some testing and can confirm that our workflows work as expected.

But I would strongly suggest some design optimizations (see mockup for a suggestion):

• Use the same font for the description and configuration as for "workflow". Write the titles in bold.
• Titles: (i) Do not write "Description" but use the name of the workflow as title.
• Bring everything on two different lines: (i) First line: Left align everything that is written. (ii) Second line: The input fields should begin on the same line.
• Bring the description and the title of the "Configuration panel" (please rename to EN: "Settings", DE: "Einstellungen") a bit closer together.

@ferishili: What do you think of this suggestions?

Hi @dagraf,
new changes are pushed, please have a look. Thanks.

[dagraf]

Thanks for the changes, which look good. Only the "Configuration Panel" is not yet renamed. But for the moment I suggest we leave it as it is and change the wording at a later stage.

Therefore and @Amstutz: Can you please review this PR and comment it if needed or merge it. Thx!

[ferishili]

Thank you.
PS: The Configuration Panel is renamed, you only need to refresh the languages again 😄

[dagraf]

Renaming of Configuration Panel: I did refresh the languages but maybe some cache settings is playing a trick on me. I will retest later and comment here if needed.

Hi @dagraf, new changes are pushed, please have a look. Thanks.

I also tested the changes to the configuration panel with our workflows, they look fine. Thanks for coming up with the improvement @dagraf and @ferishili
