Minimal CSS addition

uli · 2018-04-04 18:02:45

Phil, may I encourage a minimal addition to the Admin CSS: With white-space: nowrap; on .dropdown-menu a longer menu items would simply widen the menu instead of being displayed as a duplicate line. Duplicate, wrapped, lines look confusing in most cases, i.e. if not taken together as one unit by the highlighting selected color. I currently translate glz_cf and there is this unfortunate but well introduced Benutzerdefinierte Felder (custom fields). I’ve had other ones when customizing for clients, like Sektionsauswahl für stm_article_order that had to be abbreviated in order to not wrap, even for the English original.

Can you please open an issue for this on GitHub (on the main Textpattern repo) – otherwise it’ll get overlooked and forgotten. I will then provide a fix before 4.7 final release. Cheers!

Done. TIA!

Oh, that’s not really true. jakob translated it entirely and asked me to revise.

OK, latest dev branch has a fix for this – please test and let me know if it doesn’t work as intended.

Thanks, Phil, will do when I’ve some time at a stretch.

I’ve tried the new CSS now, and the menus are widened, as expected. Thanks!

p.

Benutzerdefinierte Felder could be called Definierbare Felder or Andere Felder or Extrafelder …

I really like that one! It’s not only shorter, it’s even a tad more positive than the current one. It needed only 11 very simple changes in the German textpack. If there were’nt custom field based plugins. I’ll think about it.

But it’s great having the new non-wrapping CSS now: There are a lot more lengthy menu strings, and also more of these lengthy languages that might benefit from an auto-adaptable menu width.

I’m all for shortening that too. If you decide to do that in the core, Uli, send me an update to the glz textpack and I’ll update that too accordingly.
