Re: Admin-Side Comments Form?

That solution would work for me… though I think a “go to this comment on the live site” or “reply to this comment on the live site” make more sense in the context of the admin page you’re on i don’t mind the scrolling down :)

Re: Admin-Side Comments Form?

You’ll be happy to hear that on both the articles and comments tabs, there are links to edit and view the article or comment, as well as a link to the comments or parent article.

Re: Admin-Side Comments Form?

May I make a suggestion?

I like the view option but I’m used to clicking the title to edit the article and I’ve only been using TXP for a few months. Maybe leave the old behaviour where you click the title to edit the article and maybe make the ID a link to view it?

Following that train of thought, we can carry it over to images, click the ID to view the image in the browser window, rather than bringing up the edit screen.

What a difference in the admin area, looking at the latest code and 4.0.3 side by side in Firefox tabs, I can appreciate the tweaks.

Re: Admin-Side Comments Form?

There are two problems with using ids:

  1. Except for the comments, ids can be very small to click on.
  2. It’s not immediately obvious why clicking on an id should do anything, except perhaps editing. Adding “edit” and “view” removes the ambiguity. :)

I brought back clicking on titles to edit. :)
