Hi Caty and all,
It’s very nice looking! :)
Some questions:
* What is the alert bell doing?
We currently have the "Follow" functionality
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Notifications%20Applic…
and since it's related to the Notifications, I've replaced the text button
with the icon with 2 states.
* What is the bubble doing? Sending some message to a
user? :) That looks
nice.
Yes, the bubble would be for Send Message functionality in the future.
Thinking about where the Send message would be placed, the locations that
came in mind where User Profile and User Index.
* What is the email icon doing? Sending some email to
a user? We’ll need
to implement that (not hard) since we don’t do this ATM.
Yes, this is not implemented, but it acts like an example of other
functions we could add in that area. If there where even more we could
extend by using a 'kebab' icon :)
In companies users care about ways to contact other employees, so that's
why having a rapid way to get the email address and telephone is
convenient. That was the logic behind the icon proposal.
* Those are nice features which could be backported to
the LT too as
actions maybe?
Yes, also what fields are displayed in the cards representation should be
equivalent to LT columns that the Admin can select using the "Customize"
functionality.
* The groups listing is nice although the implementation may not be that
trivial for perf reasons
I've displayed the groups since I've found 2 related JIRA issues related to
knowing which groups an user belongs too. Besides the rights advantages,
groups or even tags are used to mark individual teams, etc.
* IMO the filter should be a search with the full
power of the search,
just restricted to pages with XWikiUsers objects.
Actually I would love to see a new layout for search results and have a
search macro to be able to put the search on any page with the ability to
configure not having the facets displayed and to specify the layout to use.
It would be awesome too that the search would offer some UIXP to display a
type of search results. For example here, based on the XObject type, find a
UIX in the wiki that has the code to display a user object.
If we could do this then this user directory view would only be a matter
of using this search macro and we could use that in lots of other places in
very nice ways.
In summary this idea is a generalization of what you’re proposing.
That would be great to be able to tackle the power of our search and the
ability to provide multiple views. This proposal could be implemented as an
alternative layour for Search or even as an alternative for Livetables.
When I did this proposal I've reused the Search cards results display I've
created for the extensions proposal, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/exoGrid/afterSearch.png
If I were to implement your idea Caty, I would explore implementing it
this way.
What do others think?
Thanks

PS: I remember discussing this somewhere else but I don’t recall where.

Well the livetable will not be removed, you will still have it in the
other
view.
The "Filter..." would mostly/at least filter by name, but it depends how
we
implement it. It would be nice to be able to make
advanced queries like
"group:XWikiAdmin group:Committers SAS" or look for email addresses, but
this is just wishful thinking.
It's hard to find a replacement for the filtering capabilities of the
livetable and this is not the purpose of this proposal. Unfortunately the
livetable is not necessarily good looking and suited for all the use
cases.
Users are expecting User Directories / Indexes /
People / Contacts to
look
in a certain way, and currently that is proposed
by using cards.
Thanks,
Caty
