Re: Create Entries + Associated Pages

Replying to a couple things real quick! (Noting your other points too but these are the ones I have answers/questions for)

› Entry Link Module › The entry link module no longer displays the link preview if you enter text. Is that intended?

Yes; but the textbox automatically updates with what the slug should look like once you're done editing (e.g., "a b c" gets turned into "a-b-c")

› Browse Icons › When the page is shorter than the icons, it stretches beyond the footer of the page and is quite long to navigate. It's not a pressing matter, but it looks sloppy. I can see the benefit of having the Browse Icons window not scroll, but remember that you can have up to 500 icons and even on the smallest icon setting - that's quite a scroll!

Do you mind if I ask you more about this? You mean the difference is that the modal window was a fixed height before and you'd only scroll the area inside instead of the whole page?

› Browse Tags › Tags that are long now show on multiple lines because the text is larger. Even if I override the text or change the font sizes on the page, the tags that can't fit on one line don't align with their check boxes. This serves as a definite usability problem because I don't know if the random lone check box above or below the text is the correct one.

Thanks for pointing that out; this should work much better now.

› Browse Tags › No Confirmation for once you've selected tags? We just select and then exit out of the page with an X. This goes against intuition where you assume if you X out of something - you aren't saving it.

Agreed; I'll fix this.



› The Good! › I do like the transition when you click on the entry page module settings.

Thanks! That was fun to do ;)
