Usually I am not a big fan of redesigns, because it is just a lot of effort and does not provide a lot of value. But I would like to improve a few things around navigation to be ready for a future responsive design and a modernize the UI a little bit.
In this topic you can see a few low fidelity mockups. The goal is to freshen the design a little bit without changing too much and spending too much effort into it.
Your feedback is very welcome. If you have topics you would like to see changed, please don’t hold back.
It looks rubbish, but it is a more a prototype and an analysis how long it would take to implement that. The actual estimation is around 2 weeks when the theme itself is ready. But this is something for a professional designer.
Hello, I do not want to create a new thread because it may fit this feature concept (feel free to remove it if not).
During content editing, we are too often face accidentally removing reference, when we want to actually edit it.
Hover
It may be, better to switch the order of icons as fast fix (because if it is accidentally clicking to edit it, closing the new tab is faster than re-assign the reference).
I really like option for collapsing nested field in scheme page. From screens i do not notice if same will be apply for “UI separator”. It would be nice to (and if it can look more like it is look in new content prototype page even in scheme page it will be even better, currently it help just in content page, but in scheme editor not so much).
I already like squidex UI, it looks nice, but this lift the bar even more.
I understand what you mean, but I would actually like to change the schemas a little bit. The current problem is ordering of fields and that groups are managed with separators. What I would like to do is to have a separate config for the structure of fields for the UI, e.g. the json representation could be:
I agree ui section should be threat differently from another field (in the end it already does, because it wasn’t visible in api). I do not think it collide with my proposal; I care about option to collapse UI section in scheme design in portal. Currently this option is available just in “content” section.
With Array field i have, also small issue with, partitioning, even if I want translation just for one field i am force to mark as translated all field (or any). But this isn’t related to UI modernization
The design is done, but a few months ago I hired an agency to make the theme based on bootstrap and last week I cancelled the project because the result was too bad. So I have to make it myself now, I guess.
A lot of things around navigation and so on are also done, so the last thing is to make the template and then apply it.
I think they are not used to that kind of work. They build websites for CMS systems where it is okay to make hacks, but I need first class CSS code for the long term.
