Re: [Bug 1314020] Re: wishlist: usability: When listing collections to copy list once

 

Looks interesting Robert, I just tried that code from a tablet but it doesn't seem to be mobile friendly?
I'm using android 4.1.2, Firefox browser. Not sure what iOS does....

PS, regarding the list of collections when copying, if Mahara lists only
the collections (thereby reducing complexity) you can still let the user
see the list of pages in a correction by using a popup - eg on button
click (say, "show pages" or a pages icon)

I'll try to attach a mockup.

Hi Shanen,

Yeah, something like jquery sortable would be the go, see
http://jsfiddle.net/bgrins/tzYbU/ as an example

Where one can just click/drag the table row to where they want it to go.

Title:
  wishlist: usability: When listing collections to copy list once

Bug description:
  HI All,

  When copying a collection the collection is listed as many times as the number of pages.
  This results in confusion for staff and students and is hard to write instructions for.
  For example: Search for collection X and copy it.
  Click the "copy collection" button for any of the items in the list that are called X, any page of Collection X will do. Ignore any results where collections are called other things. Collection names are on the left and page names are to the right of them.


  It would be great if when copying collections the collection is shown
  only once, regardless of how many pages it contains, since this
  doesn't really matter.

  Another idea for discussion: In the case of copying templates,
  complexity could be reduced further by eliminating the step where you
  can add other pages, since the template already has the necessary
  pages.

  Thanks,
  Shane.
