Hi,
One of the objectives of 6.0 is to review the existing applications on
extensions.xwiki.org, improve them and see how they would integrate in
the
new Flamingo skin (while also making improvements
suggestions).
This mail covers the Flamingo integration for the Forum Application.
You can see the proposal at:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/ForumApplicationDesign
Any feedback is welcomed.
Very nice, I like it! Thanks for this proposal :)
Some comments/questions:
* On the home page (
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ForumApplicationDesign/…),
the title is "Forum" and then there's a subtitle "All Forums"
with a "Add
forum" button. I was wondering if it wouldn't be nicer to have "All
Forums"
as the title and instead of the "Add forum" button, use the "+Add"
button
just above to let the user add a new forum (thus using the template
provider feature)? That would make the UI even more pure.
I'm +1 to add a UI extension in the Add menu, but -0 for using the template
provider feature.
With this features, the templates are listed when you do "Create Page", but
when you create a forum or a topic, you are not supposed to know that you
will create a wiki page. Actually, when you create a forum, do you create
space or a page?
* I find a forum's description a bit small and not
visible enough compared
to the list of topics:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ForumApplicationDesign/…
we could do something to make it stand out more?
* When viewing all answers (for example
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ForumApplicationDesign/…),
each answer has a textarea visible to reply to a given answer. Mabye these
textarea should not be shown by default and they should appear only when
you click a "Reply" button?
* I think we're missing a compact view of all posts in a topic/forum,
using a livetable for example. For example:
http://www.jeuxvideo.com/forums/0-25271-0-1-0-1-0-dota-2.htm or
http://forums.euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/forumdisplay.php?f=3
* When listing all topics you seem to be cropping the topic description.
We've noticed in the blog app that automatic cropping doesn't work so if we
want that we'll need to ask the user to provide a short version and a long
version description for a topic IMO.
* Should answers be implemented as page comments but styled differently
than traditional comments? That would make sense to me. I noticed on your
screenshots that the extradoc tabs at the bottom is not displayed.
Thanks!
