| dhx1 | @daryn: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20001112.html and http://www.useit.com/alertbox/mega-dropdown-menus.html | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| daryn | interesting | 00:03 |
| dhx1 | it seems that it is better for us (usability wise) to just show static links without popup stuff hiding away extra menu items | 00:04 |
| dhx1 | or if we do want to go the popup route, use big chunky slide out menus | 00:04 |
| dhx1 | the MediaWiki sidebar can typically hold a lot of links | 00:04 |
| dhx1 | but I'm not sure that is a good thing for us | 00:05 |
| dhx1 | how often do uses on the "Manage User" page suddenly have the desire to jump to the Summary page showing the number of bugs closed in the last 7 days? | 00:05 |
| daryn | i'm not sure why that would be there the configuration should only be for what exists now | 00:06 |
| dhx1 | cases like that show that it may be detrimental to have huge all-inclusive menus | 00:06 |
| daryn | and most users won't see that anyway as it's only for managers generally | 00:06 |
| dhx1 | well MantisBT at the moment just has a very simple menu where you can switch between different sections of MantisBT... viewing bugs, reporting, managing the system, viewing reports, etc | 00:07 |
| dhx1 | and once you switch sections you can drill down further | 00:07 |
| daryn | yes, the default is that for sure. but start adding plugins with other functionality and the menu is a nightmare | 00:07 |
| dhx1 | yep | 00:10 |
| dhx1 | which is why we probably need to break it down into "areas" | 00:10 |
| dhx1 | "Reporting", "Finding", "Managing", etc... very broad things | 00:10 |
| dhx1 | although my idea for that seems to be shut down at http://www.useit.com/alertbox/tabs.html (don't use tabs for overall web site navigation, essentially) | 00:11 |
| dhx1 | http://pixelhavenllc.com/tutorials/tabbed_navigation.php | 00:14 |
| dhx1 | one example of where I was heading, but the animation/mouseover effects are really annoying | 00:15 |
| daryn | yeah | 00:16 |
| LadySerena | dev tools are always funny, in my opinion | 00:26 |
| dhx1 | yeah I constantly laugh at CVS :p | 00:27 |
| LadySerena | ie, the hudson hudson, the mantis mantis, the jira jira, bugzilla bugzilla, etc... | 00:27 |
| dhx1 | jira jira sounds like an exotic tribal dance? | 00:28 |
| dhx1 | daryn: also interesting, for redesigning the report bug screen: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/progressive-disclosure.html | 00:34 |
| dhx1 | perhaps the user is first asked to enter keywords that describe the bug they're trying to report (or an area to text dump an error message) | 00:35 |
| dhx1 | then they submit the form to the next page which attempts to find similar existing bugs (if nothing suitable is found they're redirected straight to the real report form) | 00:37 |
