Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

on “Plugins” tab

  • make the textarea just a little higher, so you can see there is some weird base64 code pasted there.
  • if making it a little higher takes too much space, then, it could be moved to the bottom (after the plugin list) and add an anchor link (“Install a plug-in”) on the top of the plug-ins list.

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

If you paste invalid plugin code, you get an error after uploading. It either works or it doesn’t.

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

I think the rounded tabs look a lot worse. Too much on the eyes.

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

it’s only a bit related, but anyway:

Am I the only one whos thinks that it is a bit strange that I have to change back from the preview mode to the edit mode to be able to save an article? I wrote something, preview it and the publish-button is gone.

Is there any reason for this or is it just an oversight?

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

Andreas, I can’t reproduce that (new article, press “preview”, press “text”… publish button still shows.)

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

i think what aba means is that the publish button should be visible WHILE IN preview mode, without going back to the text tab

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

indeed.

I think the workflow should be like this:

edit -> preview -> submit

At the moment the workflow is like this:

edit -> preview -> edit -> submit

It’s just a small step, but it is irritating…

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

That will definitely not happen in 4.0.7. It’s a non-trivial change.

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

Damn. I was hoping Ruud would come back with a response of… “Done”.

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

Ruud,

Any decision on the other requests?
Sounded like a no-go on the plugin field enlargement – how about the other stuff?

I’m especially fond of…
  • add “Title” above the title input field
  • add “Body” above the textarea

;)

Re: four little changes for 4.0.7

Robert, what do you think about adding Title/Body labels as proposed?
I don’t object.
