ILIAS Learning Module: Show Print View and Download in Modal Dialogues

1 Initial Problem

Currently, "Print View" and "Download" are implemented as "subtabs" and each produce a new screen with the needed controls of each function. However, when an ILIAS LM is supposed to be displayed in a kiosk mode (i.e. within a learning sequence) this behaviour produces unnecessary screens or controls.

2 Conceptual Summary

"Print View" and "Download" should be implemented using modal dialogues instead of ordinary screens. Both functions have a kind of meta character. Using a modal for them would leave the user in the same contentwise context, which brings advantages in terms of usability and makes the integration in a kiosk mode context (LSO) much easier.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

ILIAS LM > Content > Print View
ILIAS LM > Content > Download

3.2 User Interface Details

Use modals to display the controls of these features.

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

{If the proposal introduces any completely new user interface elements, you might consult UI Kitchen Sink in order to find the necessary information to propose new UI-Concepts. Note that any maintainer might gladly assist you with this.}

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.}
