Pages/posts screen… Quick Edit accordian

  • Hello,

    Here is a user experience thing that would help me out a lot.

    I tend to click Quick Edit to expand a page’s info only to decide that I really wanted to fully edit the page (or post). What I’d love is a link in the expanded QE view that says “Full Edit” so I don’t have to Cancel the QE and then click the post title again to get where I need to do. You could also have the Post title itself be the link as it is when the QE is not expanded.

    Hope this makes sense.

    It already is…

    No it’s not. Check out screen 1 below. I then clicked on Recent Projects and got screen 2 which has the page open/expanded. See how the title is no longer even there? It’s now editable. Honestly, that’s half the problem with the UX on this. You eye goes from a nice block based view of the page details with little context to what you are actually editing. Sure it’s there in the edit box, but with no contrast to help your eye find it.

    I’m still thinking the posts name should be added after QUICK EDIT “PostName” with PostName as a link to edit it fully. I know it’s anal, but QUICK EDIT for a bunch of similarly unimportant fields doesn’t give a user context for that whole editing area.

    Ah. That feature is by design. It provides a layer of security that you don’t edit your title on the LIST page. If you notice, you can’t edit anything on that page. Not gonna change, I don’t think.

    Not sure what you mean. I don’t want to edit the Title. In fact that is editable in the list page already.

    All I want to do is have the option to switch to the full editing of a page after I’ve entered the Quick Edit mode instead of having to close that QE and then click the tile of the page. Make sense?

    I misread that … If you click on the post title, when QE is not expanded, it sends you to the page.

    Once you’re editing the page, it assumes you may want to edit the title. So no, that’s not going to be made clickable. If ANYTHING, maybe a ‘Cancel | Full Edit | Save’ set of buttons. That’s actually kind of a neat concept.

    I took a quick look at the code and I think that’s all in js, which I’m shakier on than PHP. I would pitch that idea as ‘Add button to cancel quick edit and go to full edit in QE post mode’ on trac.www.remarpro.com
