Hi devs,
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-16119 wants to make the Notifications / Activity Stream look nicer.
I've made a proposal at https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/Notifications11x/
Let me know what you think.
Looks good thanks!
Some comments:
* The Alert area has a UIXP and the Notifications are just one UIX for that UIXP. The Watchlist settings are another UIX and today the License Application also contributes a UIX. * I’m not sure yet how much we would need Sticky Events since today the missing License warnings are implemented as a UIX and not as Notification Events. I don’t think we really have a need right now. Feels nice but not sure about it in practice.
Ok, then we don't implement them as Sticky Notifications, but the UIX could take the styling from Notifications.
* Collapsible settings: I don’t see the arrow for the Notifications UIX. What is called Notifications is actually a “Watching” UIX.
Maybe we can add the expanding activator with JS. The idea if that I've tried to hide the Watchlist area. The watchlist has also a lot of automatic behavior that auto-watches the pages created by you, etc. The manual watches should be done by advanced users. Also they take a lot of space and they are not really usual for Notifications areas. So that's why I've tried to hide them.
* “Social Events”: I’m not convinced that we should mix mentions with notifications. IMO that makes it hard to see the messages. I would use a different system for mentions and have a different UIX in the Alert menu for them.
We already integrate them in Notifications. I just restyled them in order to fit the new UI. The Message Stream has their own templates, and they follow a different pattern of event display. Thanks, Caty
Thanks -Vincent
