streamlining cloud object ui
Page Overview
[Hide]1 Initial Problem
Currently the content page of a cloud object has its own toolbar. It contains a breadcrump and the "Add new item" button.
2 Conceptual Summary
The content of a cloud object should behave like container objects in ILIAS. For the user it is just another knot in the tree.
3 User Interface Modifications
3.1 List of Affected Views
- cloud object content view
3.2 User Interface Details
- The "Add new item" button shoud have the same position as in every container object.
- The cloud object breadcrump shoud extend the ILIAS breadcrump.
- If the user browses into a folder inside the cloud object, the icon should switch to the cloud folder icon.
- If the user browses into a folder inside the cloud object, the headline should show the folder name.
3.3 New User Interface Concepts

4 Technical Information
{The maintainer has to provide necessary technical information, e.g. dependencies on other ILIAS components, necessary modifications in general services/architecture, potential security or performance issues.}

7 Discussion
Schmid, Fabian [fschmid] 03.10.2017: In general I fully support the streamlining of the Cloud-Object to the other locations in ILIAS which provide containers and items in it. Currently the cloud object is implemented client-side due to performance issues: every pageload would lead to many request to the cloud-api of the cloud-service used in the Cloud-Object which can lead to huge loading times. therefore all the data is synced in the background to provide a fluent user experience. the streamline the UI we have to implement different ways to interact to the UI-Elements outside of the container (just the content-part where your cload-objects are dispalyed). These hooks are currently not implemented and I assume the implementation would be quite costly. I think a small "feasability study" would be needed to check if there is a more performant server-side way or if it is possible to design the client-side version (as it is now) accordingly.
