@sudburr I agree. The proposed interface with navigation on the side is pretty sleek. But the word management is just a tad overused. It looks good though
-
I also like the navigation on the side. Looks great and works well
-
@Tom-Elliott is it html5?

Just going to throw this out there, (I may be alone on this one, If so I’ll keep quite) But having the search bar on the far right means to search I have to move the mouse quite a bit as the navigation and main menu for the pages is on the left.
Also when trying to save the configuration, it does not ask for credentials like it does for exporting the reports.
-
@falko with the search thing i am on your side, everything usefull should be concentrated on one side.
-
@x23piracy How are you guys installing this to view it?
I moved the search to the “right side” simply because it was easiest applying it to the right side so it appears in the collapsed menu a bit nicer. I can move it where ever needed though, and if I do it right it would appear at the top of the side menu items.
-
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Topbar:
Collapsed Nav bar.
-
@x23piracy No. It’s based on “bootstrap”.
The Main page, layout wise, has been designed around html5 layout, but it is not using html5 “coding” if you will.

No lie, but being the cli-focused guy I am, I’d absolutely love keyboard shortcuts…

Me too, but to keep Tom’s workload low for this rather large undertaking, this could be put-off.
-
Can you put the page on a public site so it’s easy to see?
-
@loosus456 it’s on my dev box as my systems are real servers. I can give some access but if you want to test and play with it yourself I’d recommend installing the bootstrap branch
-
@Wayne-Workman Oh, definately. And lets face it, a majority of users are clickers anyways, so that’s what should be developed first.
-
This will only be available for a few days, it’s on one of my test VMs:
username: fog
password: password -
I would personally go with something like this:
I would also put greater spacing between the words at the bottom, although I didn’t take the time to do that since they’re currently just text and would require a slight rework.
-
management/index.php?node=user has some of the instability I was talking about earlier.
When there are no users, it still shows “Delete Selected Users” and the associated button by default and then hides it after the page loads. That causes flicker on a fast connection and a temporarily wrong page on a slow connection.
I would code the page (server side) to hide this by DIV by default if there are no users rather than coding the client to make this check.
-
@loosus456 I would categorize my connection as slow, my house only has 4Mbps upload speed - so that’s what you’re getting when you use the link below.
-
@loosus456 understand the whole reason for the separate branch is to ensure it isn’t released until it’s ready. I’m aware of the issues and am methodically moving through the pieces of code to ensure all will look and work well.
-
@Tom-Elliott Yes, I am fully aware of that. I am just letting you know because your opinion of an issue may not be my opinion of an issue.
-
@Wayne-Workman This issue is with the page, not the connection. The affected DIVs need to be set to DISPLAY:NONE before the page loads. On a fast connection, it will simply appear as flicker.
