Hello,
I made further advances for the layout and organization of the web
client (my version). In order to pass arguments from one page to another
(i.e. when you click on a question, it redirects you to a "Consulting
Question Details and Answers" page), I made a very bad thing: I used
global variables... just because I did not find another working method
for now.
My problem is to execute a python function, and pass some arguments
(e.g. the question list, the tag list, etc. already loaded in the
calling function), instead of loading it again from the server. I know
there must be some more elegant ways to do that (using sessions or
something), but for now, I have no idea how to do that.
Anyway, now you can display individual questions and associated
responses in different pages or tabs (by clicking on the "number of
responses" link in orange in image #1... this will certainly change in
the future). The page/tab title is like "QXXXX" (the question number).
The list of answers appear in a clear, wide spaced layout. The winning
answer(s) have a light green background. Compared to what I proposed
earlier, I chose to lighten the background (previously deep green) so
that it does not "steal" the user's focus, and allow the reading of
other answers.
I would also suggest that displaying the winning answer should be an
option in the user's profile. Because some people (like me for example)
would not want to know what is the winning answer before actually vote
(to avoid influence).
And feel relieved, I started to use DIVs for placing the different
elements in the pages :P
I have also one request concerning the formatting of question
descriptions and answers: would it be possible to insert "nonbreakable
space" before ponctuation symbols ("!", "?", ":") in order to avoid
orphan characters on a new line? (see image #3).
You can have an overview of the client here:
