[opensuse-buildservice] OBS Stage Web-Interface
Dear OBS developers! I have recently tested the OBS /stage web-interface. It's a big improvement, and a big step forward. I have two tiny things which would be nice to have: 1) In is it possible to split the breadcrumbs at the top into several links? That would make navigation between projects much simpler: Current Breadcrumb:Build Service > Projects > home:weberho:kernel-modules > intel-e1000e Suggested Breadcrumb: Build Service > Projects > home > weberho > kernel-modules > intel-e1000e 2) Viewing a project I see the following links after the breadcrumbs: Packages | Repositories | Monitor | Advanced I'd like to see a link like "Project" (or "Overview") at the beginning which displays the projects's overview; the same is valid for the package's view which is currently: Files | Repositories | Attributes | Users a "Package" link (or "Overview") at the beginning would be nice, too However, OBS is involving in the right direction. Keep on with that good work! Johannes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Dear OBS developers!

1) In is it possible to split the breadcrumbs at the top into several links? That would make navigation between projects much simpler:
Current Breadcrumb:Build Service > Projects > home:weberho:kernel-modules
intel-e1000e Suggested Breadcrumb: Build Service > Projects > home > weberho > kernel-modules > intel-e1000e
We will work on the bread crumb before 2.0 - not sure your suggestion is so good though, as 'home' is a project namespace, while 'home:weberho' is a project. This might be more confusing. We discussed making parent projects sub links, but didn't yet play around with ways to display that information.
2) Viewing a project I see the following links after the breadcrumbs:
Packages | Repositories | Monitor | Advanced
I'd like to see a link like "Project" (or "Overview") at the beginning which displays the projects's overview; the same is valid for the package's view which is currently:
Files | Repositories | Attributes | Users
a "Package" link (or "Overview") at the beginning would be nice, too
Can you explain why? package and project are already linked in the bread crumb. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

The other think I thought of was having the text "home:weberho:kernel-modules" which provides three different links (to home,home:weberho andhome:weberho:kernel-modules)

I'd like to see a link like "Project" (or "Overview") at the beginning which displays the projects's overview; the same is valid for the package's view which is currently:
Files | Repositories | Attributes | Users
a "Package" link (or "Overview") at the beginning would be nice, too
It's the location, I have searched for it before I knew where to find it. All options within projects/packages can be reached at this line, but not the activation of the overview page, so it's "surprising" to find it only within the the breadcrumbs. Also, this is the only page I have seen so far where the last link in the breadcrumbs line is active. On all other pages this link is inactive. So it would only be consistent to move the link down...

I discussed that options with Adrian at BrainShare. The problem he brought up is link confusion as it's not immediately obvious that which portion of the link you click on matters. Not everyone's going to parse that there's no link under the : so home:weberho:kernel-modules ---- ------- -------------- People may not get that they need to click kernel-modules to get to home:weberho:kernel-modules and not the other parts of the package name. I think it's a good system, but the UI needs to be intuitive for first time users without a lot of head scratching about the links aren't going where they expect. Hmm... if we added the appropriate a:hover css for the links it would be more obvious then since the words would highlight.
