#11017: Tags MultiSelectionWidget w/scrollbar & checkboxes -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: rmattb | Owner: RMattB Type: PLIP | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: 4.1 Component: User Experience and Interface | Keywords: -------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Comment(by rmattb): Thanks for your comments, elvix. Re: size of box. Currently, 6 tags typically display without a scrollbar - are you saying that the box should be taller to show 10? Re: seleced tags. The screencast (linked above) explains some of the reasons for showing currently selected tags. A common example from Plone <=3 is where a user left clicks on tag #2, not seeing that tags #21 & 22 were already selected below the scroll, and thus inadvertently removes #21 & 22. They can literally lose tag data. With the new widget however, since a left click no longer deselects other tags, showing the selected tags is not a *must*, but many have said it's nice to have. Since the coding of that is done, I'm inclined to leave all the options in, and a simple css change can hide the selected tags, if desired. GMail and Flickr show selected tags (labels) outside the selector widget. Re: red X. It was suggested that in the case of long tag lists, it would be convenient (though redundant) to be able to deselect a tag without scrolling, and it wouldn't require much space. Could the alt text be improved to explain it better? GMail again has similar functionality on tags (labels). Flickr only shows this tag delete X on hover - maybe that's the best middle-ground approach. Re: two columns. This is another case for showing more than 6 tags, so I've increased it to >8. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/11017#comment:32> Plone <http://plone.org> Plone Content Management System _______________________________________________ PLIP-Advisories mailing list plip-advisor...@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/plip-advisories
