How can we improve KANBOARD Plugins information?

I’m getting somewhere!

Now that I’ve pulled the latest code, I got another issue:


This column headers are almost unreadable for me. And ALL CAPS isn’t nice and helpful in any way.
Everything else: Great work!

Sorry, I have one more left, a question more or less.
Why do you display the globe and the trashcan greyed? The user might interpret this as disabled, as it is usually.

haha I dont set it as greyed… youre highlighting fixes I need to do… great

grey = disabled, yes the grey tone you are showing is deffo a no no… i will fix… the core properties for icons are a bit of a pain they way they have been targeted in the core but i will fix it

also, your screenshot has lighted an alignment issue of the button… i need to look into that too lol

appreciate your feedback

Anybody?

Forget the styling and icon types…
For the extra json properties… has_schema has_overrides has_hooks … shall I do:
1 - show only if they have them (php if)
or
2 - show coloured if they have them with a tooltip, show greyed if they dont have them (php if else)

I clearly vote for option #1.
But please take care, the uninstall buttons are aligned between rows. The number of visible icons should not affect the button’s position.

That’s intended… For now

To solve this I can put them in a separate column which I was going to do in the morning but I thought I would ponder on it. You just pushed me. I will do it. I think it will look bad as it is once the page is fully designed.

I’m thinking of doing option 2 with a red/green colour. That way, the icons keep its place and just switch colours/tool tips based on the result. Thinking of the end user (non coder).

Edit… Oh that’s for installed page. Okay will need a new column for that too as right now it looks a bit stupid and out of design.

Agree. But the colors: Red implies Stop/Wrong/Bad, where green implies OK/Fine/Ready. I think this isn’t the message you want to submit, right? Please think about dimmed/gray vs. orange or so.

Agreed. I used orange on installed page. I think I will stick with that. Normal/orange so in effect its only coloured when it is relevant

Yes, orange means beware, danger.

I’m thinking of changing the plugin name before it is released… what do you guys think?

KanboardPluginsUX > Plugin Manager or Kanboard Plugin Manager

The latter is IMHO too long, but “Plugin Manager” is fine. That we’re in Kanboard is obvious.

BTW, I’ve another one:


I suggest renaming the menu item back to “Installed Plugins”. I’m confused… :wink:

haha youre pulling the changes fast! i see the plugin count there lol

I kept that menu as the code also has a section for incompatible plugins… but yeah it looks bad, i will remove
