Re: Move save/publish button to top of column 3

I like what Jukka’s just done – the button at the top of the 3rd column is the most ideal place for it.

I just can’t see how we can do that on the pages, forms and styles pages, even though they would benefit from having the button there too.

Re: Move save/publish button to top of column 3

The Write pane is much better now, in terms of visual workflow. And with a benefit for the keyboard user: the Save button is now much closer to the ‘main’ action – the textareas. It is next in the tab-chain, after the Excerpt field.

For the Pages and Forms panes, you could eventually move the button visually to the top of the 3rd column, using some AP magic. Something like this (not tested):

.txp-layout-grid { position: relative; }
#content_switcher { margin-top: 3em }
p.save-button { width: 25%; position: absolute; right:0; text-align: center; }

I made up the ‘save-button’ class above…

But to be honest, the position of those buttons has never bothered me.

Re: Move save/publish button to top of column 3

IMHO the save button should just be always at reach, neither top nor bottom.
the same should go for any tab: sections, write, etc. (you’re otherwise doomed to constant scrolling up and down)
maybe even a ‘double set’ of intros buttons wouldn be handy; one on top and one at the bottom allowing to save or submit batch commands (delete/change etc. in articles,image,sections… tabs)


what was that again…?
