Improvements to Email Events - Functionality and Interfaces

Description

I think we can improve functionality that we already have:

1. "Email Templates" section already lists ONLY Enabled Events joined on Translated. I Recommend we approach this from the same end.

a. We limit field Enabled to 0 and 1 values.
b. Add new "FrontOnly" field which will hold 1 for all Events that had 2 in Enabled field before.
c. Add new parameter to Language pack import/export + functionality.
d. Create an upgrade script that will do the conversion as needed.

2. Ad ability to change FrontOnly - in the field on Edit page or button?

3. Ad ability to reset FromUserId field to 0 root user, currently you can't.

In result we'll be keeping Enabled field and disabled Events will be simple hidden from the list and NO need for another confusing DisplayMode field.

Initially proposed plan is posted below.

Context Information

None

Additional information (do not use)

Initially proposed plan:

Add DisplayMode field to Events table (1 - always show, 0 - show in debug mode only). We should show this column while in debug mode in mentioned above email event translations list. Then we add two buttons (approve - event will be visible to all users, decline - event will be visible only in debug mode) to toolbar in this section.

During installation we will add checkbox (off by default), that (when checked) will allow to move ALL email event translations to debug mode. Then we will go to administrative console (while in debug mode) and enable only events, that we need to be visible to clients.

2. Colorize background of rows with events, that are visible in debug mode only (like in "Summary & Logs -> Session Log" section) to make it easier for us, who are always in debug mode to distinguish that events quickly.

Color for Disabled Events (In DBG mode only - gray or similar so they look like Disabled)

3. Change default sorting to make visible to all email events on top of the list.
