[Xerte-dev] Re: Design new editor

[Fay Cross]

I've had a bit of a play with how we could change the 'problem' areas (insert page, optional properties), you can see it here<http://ltdev.nottingham.ac.uk/FC/XOT/>.

It's still very similar to the Flash version though so maybe we need more revolutionary ideas instead?


Main changes:

The insert page menu now appears in the main panel. Previously we've mentioned possibly categorising the pages in some way (difficulty level / html5 / mobile friendly etc.) so there would be more space for info about this now.

I thought the accordion could work like this<http://jqueryui.com/accordion/#hoverintent> where you hover and pause to open it rather than click but would have to obviously be click on touch screens.

Optional & Language properties are available below the required ones (not convinced this is best way but improvement on always on screen?)

The Copy & Delete buttons are now next to each page on the page list so the initial view is less cluttered.

There's also some ideas for a smaller mobile version of the editor but I've no idea if we would do this, particularly since the more complicated page types aren't great on smaller devices. Although bootstrap does work well on them.


Anyway, just some ideas. Completely disregard everything if you want :)

Fay

It would be good to have discussions here about the sort of thing we want to achieve, I don't see why we can't move on a lot of the 'design' work between us: this is the sort of thing this list is for!

This is where we are right now, and to start with it would be good to just try some ideas - it's pretty close to the old editor:

Also there are some bits that don't work very gracefully, where might need to come up with a better way:

Also, the next release doesn't need to have any University of Nottingham branding in it.

We might want to think about bringing the whole interface (workspace as well) up to date.

My html5/css skills are ok, and I might even be able to justify spending some work time on this, but it'll be hard to make guarantees. Given that there seem to be others in a similar position, could you just post a sketch (so to speak) of what problems you need solved to the list and/or in a GitHub issue so we can all discuss it?
