Hi,
I don't really have any UI comments about this project, but I though it
worth mentioning some though/discussions I've had about this project.
1) The Assign Permissions feature is too basic. Also mapping the
available groups in the portlet.xml is a pain. I think ultimately this
need integrating with the Portal groups system. Either by adopting this
as a framework portlet or by using uPortal provided APIs.
2) Assigning permissions at the topic level is not very useful in
certain scenarios. E.g. If I have different "Academic notices" for
faculty staff and students then I have to create 2 separate topics to
achieve this. This gets worse if I want different academic notices for
each school.
The portlet currently allows non-unique topic names, which helps in this
scenario as at least each topic can have the same name so users don't
know that its actually a different topic. However if you do this, it's
impossible to tell in the admin UI which is which without clicking on
each one, then clicking back and trying to remember which one you
clicked last!
Thanks,
Anthony.

Hi everyone (again),
The next couple of days, I’ll be working on improving the UI for the
Announcements Portlet. I’ll be incorporating Bootstrap into the
various views, along with adding some PIZZAZZ. Attached are
wireframes of some of these ideas. Please note, the color of buttons
and the placement of buttons will be addressed, these are simply a
general view UI updates.
I anticipate having these changes in a pull request later this week.
Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
