Article write panel: Pluggable UI callback 'article_ui.extend_col_1' for volatile content missing

[rwetzlmayr]

Currently, the article_ui.extend_col_1 pluggable UI callback is only called once, when the Article Write Panel is first drawn:

textpattern/textpattern/include/txp_article.php

Line 1017 in c2ee906

echo pluggable_ui('article_ui', 'extend_col_1', '', $rs);

In subsequent renderings of this panel after intermediate "save" operations, there is a short-cut bail-out branch:

textpattern/textpattern/include/txp_article.php

Line 751 in c2ee906

// Bail out.

This hampers plugins that want to extend this part of the UI for displaying volatile content.

I suggest extending the current article_ui.extend_col_1 events scope to fire the event when volatile parts of the write panel are redrawn as well.

Sounds logical. The only drawback I can imagine is plugins (if any) firing js on full page load, they might need to be adapted.
