Thoughts and ideas

@Bob-Henderson said in Thoughts and ideas:
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.
-
@loosus456 I’ve adjusted the div’s to automatically display as none. Again, please remember I’m working on this ultimately as a “side” project.
I know it’s not perfected yet, just working on so many things.
Check out the login page on fog.mastacontrola.com now. Your bottom menu should be more accurate. I’ve removed the “Please Login” message and replaced it with “FOG Project”. I think a Huge icon would be rather tacky so I don’t feel good about making it so large and centered.
-
@Tom-Elliott Yes, I understand. You’re not the only one with side projects.
Looks good.
All I can tell you in regards to the “tacky” logo is that it’s a popular thing to do with other business appliances:
KACE K1000: https://k1000sandbox.cloud.kace.com/admin
CrashPlan: https://account.crashplan.com/consumer-login
Docker: https://cloud.docker.com/login/Another thing they do that I just noticed that I like is they change the background color, even if it’s slight in some cases.
-
@loosus456 It’s a detail that doesn’t matter, it’s a subjective thing, not an objective thing. That said, I think it’s fine as it is.
-
@Wayne-Workman Yes, every opinion is subjective and pretty much everything that has been said about this design so far has been subjective.
No reason for the obvious condescension.
-
Just what I’ve done for the deploy stuff. It’s the same, but nicer I think. Of course the coloring may seem odd for now which is why I present this here.
-
@loosus456 I don’t like the large F as much as Toms smaller one. It’s too overwhelming.
