Description (last modified by zephod) (diff)

From Ira: PDF of bugs and suggestions is attached.

Notes from various conversations:

  • [general]: Empty tables have a '(none)' placeholder which is causing issues. Move it into a separate div - it doesn't need be a wide <td> object.
  • [dataset/edit, groups/add, groups/edit]: 'Extras' is not clear. Write a better editor. [separate ticket?]
  • [dataset/edit]: Errors in form - would be nice to auto-open the appropriate resource box.
  • [search]: Declutter the sidebar. No yellow box.
  • [search]: Facets to go on the left, rather than the right. More logical flow.
  • [about]: Get the about page working on test.ckan.org. (Works locally and on live).

DONE ?

  • [dataset/edit]: Deletions are confirmed with a dialog box
  • [dataset/edit]: Long URLs break the edit resources tab. Show name (& 'no name') with a pencil icon.
  • [dataset/edit]: Rearrange the delete resources mechanism;
    • Use a little minus icon on the far left, followed by a pencil icon for editing.
    • The 'delete resource' button can become 'hide'
    • Deletions are confirmed with a dialog box
  • [dataset/edit]: Rearrange the 'you have unsaved changes' warning;
    • Delete the little green plus sign on the right;
    • Try a flash banner instead (more general purpose & beautiful)
  • [dataset/edit]: Try a pencil icon (+'hide' button) rather than the +/- buttons which look a bit like you're adding a dataset.
  • [dataset/view]: Subscribe button (& subscribe to history) doesn't work as expected. Modal dialog carrying instructions?
  • [dataset/view]: Drop the 'add to a group>>' and 'add tag>>'. Needs inline tag-adder.
  • [markdown editor]: Tab colours confuse the user. Inactive button appears to be greyed out.
  • [dataset/edit]: The upload file UI mutates and breaks across lines; make it a little more rigid. Verify at different zoom levels.
  • [groups/add]: Hide unimportant fields
  • [navigation] Add 3D bevel (@see github) to current tab highlight.
  • [dataset/create and groups/create]: Slug generator can be tidied. Default: Not editable. @see http://groupspaces.com/a/group/
  • [groups/view]: Show description and owner. To match dataset section.
  • [groups/authz]: Tidy to match admin/authz (pretty buttons & spacing). Add navigation bar.
  • [groups]: Entire section to use pretty buttons please.

WONTFIX ?

  • [dataset/edit]: Make 'tags' a top level form section; it is too important to go below the fold. (wontfix)
  • [groups]: Clicking a column heading should sort by that column. Default should be 'size', not 'name'. (move to seperate ticket)
  • ([groups]: (Investigate) Is it easy to implement a little search-groups feature?) (move to seperate ticket w/previous)
  • [*/authz]: Add tooltips to explain column headers. (Not required if mechanism is about to be refactored...) (wontfix: we need to rethink this mechanism; authorization refactor is coming)
  • [general]: 'Authorization' refactor to 'Permissions' on nav-bars. (wontfix, further discussion. authorization might be less techy...)
  • [search]: (Investigate) Can we quickly & easily reintegrate the faceted search-by-license but present it in the sidebar like the other facets? (wontfix: high cost and maintenance overhead; need compelling user story)
