[Fofredux-devel] UI Redesign version Cool

[Andrew T. <ajt...@hi...>]

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!
Andrew

You realise how excited I am now. I'm downloading it all right now and
trying to sort it all out :). This is FARRRRR too cool :)

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?

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

Examples:
Big: Add ajax to marking/saving items
Small: aligning the Add button on the feeds form to fit inline

[Miles B. <mil...@gm...>]

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.

I think it looks great.  I'm still learning where everything moved to.   
I guess category and tag editing is not linked in yet?

Correct -these are not linked in yet. There was never a design for
these pages either.
Khaled? ;)

[Fofredux-devel] Fwd: UI Redesign version Cool

[Evan R. <eva...@gm...>]

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!
