[Openfc-development] interface help

[adam <ad...@xs...>]

hi everyone

i was just thinking about the interface and how its best to layout the
seperate actions (add program/edit program/ create channel etc) so its not
to overwhelming for the user....

so the 'action' list that we have are:

create new channel
add program
edit program
create playlist
view archive
edit timetable (drop down list)
customise player (drop down)
program guide (drop down)
logout

for the moment we also have 'info', 'refresh' and 'rollover help' but i
think these will not be included in the final layout (perhaps we will keep
rollover help but i am not sure)

so....I was thinking maybe we simply the list so on the navigation bar on
the left we have :

Create Channel
Manage Programs
Edit Timetable (drop down)
Channel Options (drop down)


When each of these options open there would be another navigation bar at
the top of the page for 'Manage Programs' and 'Channel Options'

On the navigation bar for 'Manage Programs' we would have:
Add New Program
Edit Existing Program
Create Playlist
Edit Playlist
View Program Archive

On the navigation bar for 'Channel Options' we would have:
Customise Player
Customise Program Guide (still to be developed)
User Priviledges (to be developed)


does that make sense to everyone? please suggest alternative models
as this is quite a critial element to get right...all ideas welcome!!!

:-)
