[xwiki-devs] [UX] XClass Picker
Hi devs, This is an improvement proposal for the XClass Picker found in the objects editor: https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XClassPicker/O2.png Read the whole proposal at: https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/XClassPicker Let me know what you think. Thanks, Caty
Hi Caty, Good work, I like it! :) One detail, I think the way to launch the class modal is not visible enough. Also, wouldn’t it be better for general consistency if it were a button rather than a link (it would also be more visible)? Note to devs: this means adding some new metadata xproperties in Classes: * description * category Personally I like that and I think it’s needed. The description is the most needed but even category is starting to be needed too seen the number of XClass we have nowadays. Thanks -Vincent

Hi Cati, I really like the proposal! Especially because I also had problems in using the XClass Picker for finding and choosing what I needed. Thanks, Lavinia On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 7:27 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

I've tried to reuse the existing styling for the Object editor and make the way to add new objects consistent to the way we add objects of a particular type ('New StyleSheetExtension object' link). The styling of the object editor can be improved, especially since it's still using the old Silk icons.

Looks good. You have some screen shots with Add Class title and Add button while others have Select Class title and Select button. I assume you propose the later, because "Add Class" doesn't make sense in this context. We'll need a Deprecated category at some point.

Yes, we should use 'Select'. Initially I had an 'Add' button and wanted to reuse the 'Add' in the modal, but the 'Select' makes more sense and also is consistent across entity types.

Ok. We could consider 'All', 'Other' and even 'Deprecated' as categories that span all entity types. Thanks, Caty
