[Xerte-dev] Re: Navigator Pages

[Ron Mitchell]

I can see the benefits of this and we have a similar feature in the site
template where most of the navigators are combined. But I can imagine it
will be difficult to ensure backwards compatibility apart from deprecation
for new projects. In this case that would seem like a bit of a departure
e.g. the other deprecated page are no longer needed or supported whereas the
navigators are very much still useful and an important feature. Also would
the tabbed navigator plus be a separate case and still left on it's own?

 

I'd suggest the following:

 

Fix the essential issues in the current navigators but perhaps not those not
essential if not easy.

Add a new combined navigator when time permits and we can test in a develop
version first and then until people are familiar with that leave the
existing navigators without deprecating them.

At some future point deprecate the older separate navigators.

BTW Would be good to add a carousel navigator to the mix at some point like
we have in the site template.

The problem is, that we need to deprecate the old pages. That's no problem
in it self. But that would mean that we probably should fix the problems
anyway. I would do it anyway, because it will simplify future maintenance.

I've got to make some changes to a lot of the navigator pages to fix some
problems that Inge found and it's got me thinking about something I think
Ron has mentioned before.

 

Button, tabbed, slideshow and accordion navigators are all identical in the
information that the author enters - the only difference is the way you move
between sub-pages in the LO. Would it be useful to replace these pages with
one new navigator page where you could select which of these appearances you
wanted it to have? Or do you think this would be confusing?

 

It would be easy to do (and then I'd only have to do the changes to fix the
bugs once!) What do you think?
