For those keeping score at home I have actually begun implementing the tweaks to the interface, and I've got to say that it's soooo exciting seeing things take shape. (check out the bug list, please start adding things as well so that I don't forget anything). However I need some help. I'm trying to get the feeds.php to follow the different coloured backgrounds, however they're in a table and the way this was done in panel.php was through the use of php rather than a list with odd and even elements. Could someone have a look into that and send it through to me so that I can continue with my hacking :). I guess I'll give myself a deadline for the end of next week to have this work done, as most of the hard work has already been done by Walker and Andrew. Can't wait for all the JS stuff to start making it's way into the programme as well :). |

I thought that was always the way we were going to play it. Ideally the USER gets to choose which view they would like best, as I can't stand the full view. Too much information to digest in one time. Is this possible? Also I would imagine that the we would have the full view or the framed view as the first thing the user sees rather than enter the admin panel?

Why not just have two distinct views like we have in 0.3? Personally I cannot stand the frames view and hope we can have both view in the new release. I think it would be best to have both views supported and then the user can pick which one they want to use. -Miles |

So the problem is, the non-framed feed list does not include per-feed item statistics. (# of total / unread / saved items) ISTR talk of having the ability to hide the feed list (left frame) in the framed view as a compromise between the framed vs. non-framed camps.=20 There is quite a bit of code written to support both framed and non-frame= d version of the app. If this can be unified under a single UI that supports all the framed/nonframed use cases, that would be best. --=20 Kevin |

However this is not really comparable to the panel view. As I said in my previous email, full view as it is now in the checked in code is comparable to "view all items, paged". Clicking on the full view link does just that, it shows all the articles without a feeds listing. If full view is supposed to be like panel view it should first go to a full view feeds listing that also shows how many articles are in the feeds. Then you click on a feed to see the articles it has. Does this make more sense? -Miles |

hi guys, just a quick note from me...i'm still super busy with work and don't want to take time to start implementing something i wouldn't have time to finish properly. in any case, the redesign looks great so far...i'm impressed, and i think it's definitely a huge step in the right direction! /evan On 8/7/06, Kevin <ke...@dr...> wrote: > Andrew Turner wrote: > > Ok - so the first full checkin of the UI redesign has been commited > > (r490 for those of you keeping score at home).

I think the confusion we're having is the terminology each of us is using is different. Here are the different pages that exist: Login Page Admin Panel (after you log in, shows the feeds, categories) Views - Frames view (left-sidebar of feeds, items shown in right-side) - Full View (no sidebar, items are shown 'full screen') We will have both a frames and full view for items, as I use both myself. And both are currently there, I'll have to check why the link to full view (just doesn't have the feeds sidebar) doesn't show up foryour Miles.

Miles, Currently when you login you're presented with the "full view" which effectively has the list of feeds, but not the actual meat of the feeds themselves. You either click on the feeds themselves to access that information or you go via the latest as another big list or you go to the frames view. >From my point of view the full view options is too overwhelming, I personally like to break it down into chunks which is why I read my feeds in the framed view and IMO should be the default setup. However there are people who like it the other way and so we should (if it's possible) try and have it as a little option as to what the user sees when they login in. Hope that answers it?

I was about to say that. I for one don't read my feeds in the full view way, but with the frames option. Therefore I think we should have that in the options menu. As for everything else, Miles that's why I'm writing my list of things to do and putting them in the bug list because I've got like 30 things that needs to be sorted out from what we have now but I can't help but feel so proud of what we're doing here because it's slowly all coming together into something that's going to kick a lot of ass.

Do you mean the "full view" (no frames)? Right now "back to.." takes you to frames. Then there is a "Full View" icon at the top that will take you to the full view. The default of Frames vs. Full should probably be a user option. Also, I didn't quite understand your request regarding new items? Do you mean in the sidebar of the Frames view, in the Organize (Panel), or in Update? Andrew On 8/6/06, Miles Beck <mil...@gm...> wrote: > How do you get to the panel view within the new ui design?

How do you get to the panel view within the new ui design? Hopefully it's just not done yet. Clicking on the "Feeds" link takes you to the frames view. We need another link to the panel view. -Miles |

Thanks for getting the new ui checked in. I have a request though. Can we have the feed count (31 new items) etc, back where it was? To the left of the feed name. Right now when looking at the feeds you have to traverse the whole back back and forth for each feed to see what feed has new articles. This makes looking at the page tedious and tiresome. -Miles |

Major items should be put on the FoFRedux bug items in Sourceforge, small items can just be posted to the list.

Hey all, Just installed it and having a look around at the things that need to be done. First off I just want to say thanks to be Walker and Andrew for getting it all together and putting it on the page so to speak. Now it's just time for refining and tweaking, another month of hammering and we should be ready for the next level . All extremely exciting stuff to be honest. I propose I make a list of the things that need to be sorted out and then we can tick them off one by one. Maybe get a backpack page and just put everything in there so that everyone can see what needs to be done. Everyone up for using backpack or should I use just the mailing list? I'm cool with either as long as it's easy for everyone to refer to it and it's clear as to what still needs to be done. Thoughts?

Ok - so the first full checkin of the UI redesign has been commited (r490 for those of you keeping score at home). If you've updated recently, you'll have been enticed by the very pretty login page, but then reminded of the white-horridness that was FOF. This is no more. This revision covers all the major aspects of the UI change, and basic functionality of FoFRedux still exists. Nothing in the "engine" was changed, so there is no expected danger to your database with this upgrade. But as with any dev version, YMMV, Author not responsible for lost data, run this at your own risk, always use protection (i.e. run on a test DB) The next big steps are to 1) hopefully have Walker or Khaled get the current version and tweak up a couple of layout/colors that I couldn't get quite right. Some buttons are out of place (or could use pretty image buttons) and some of the FamFam silk icons need their color-shifted to match Khaled's original design. 2) Add the Prototype.js Javascript library and start tying in Asyncronous functionality 3) Clean up the "view" break-out some more. This UI change tried to change as little as possible along the way, but small steps were made, like making view/feed_item.php which is a single view of a feed (imagine that). This would be nice to break out for more elements and forms 4) Feeds are not grouped by category on the front page (they're all animation) so will need to sort feeds and break them up by category listing. Let me know if you have any major problems. There are many small bugs that I'm sure exist that will get corrected as the above 4 actions are finished. Thanks everyone!

If it's mostly usable, or "works for me", then commit it. If whole pages are unusable, then maybe not, or hold off on committing just the files. --=20 Kevin |

Ho ho ho, Bite the bullet Andrew and toss it in. That way it'll be the road of no return :). Gotta love all of that to be honest. Exciting times people, exciting times :) Which reminds me I need to get off my lazy ass and sort out the new website look for when the new version is going to be released :).

Well, but there are several "Schools" for how to handle major changes and breaking the repository. However, I know that I could use some help implementing some of these UI changes, or else it will take even longer than it has so far :) So by checking in the 60%-80% work I have done so far, it will 1) push me to finish it, and 2) get other people to tie in stuff :) On 7/31/06, Miles Beck <mil...@gm...> wrote: > On 7/31/06, Andrew Turner <ajt...@hi...> wrote: > > I have a lot of the Panel and feeds hooked in, but not all of the > > functionality is there.

Hi team/users/testers/general public, I just checked in the very first of the UI updates. Thanks goes to Walker Hamilton (http://walkerhamilton.com) for cleaning up and implementing the UI design in CSS/HTML. I'm in the process of hooking in the PHP code to fill in the actual elements. The first of the changes can be seen by updating your Subversion and going to the login page. I have a lot of the Panel and feeds hooked in, but not all of the functionality is there. I should be finishing that up this week. However, I'm going to also ask your opinion. I had started to check this stuff into a Branch, but I'm concerned re-merging the changes later is going to be a huge pain. Therefore, I'd like to suggest tossing in the UI changes into the Trunk, which will break functionality, for a short amount of time so that people can start playing with the changes and also helping tie in the appropriate parts. Let me know if this is ok with you and your thoughts. Andrew -- Andrew Turner ajt...@hi... 42.4266N x 83.4931W http://highearthorbit.com Northville, Michigan, USA |
