Page Editor » New Create Menu for Page Elements
Page Overview
[Hide]This request is part of the project for a New Page Editor.
1 Initial Problem
The ILIAS page editor offers a large number of different page elements.
Up to now, these elements have been presented in a long or very long list. There are moments, you have to scroll within this list.
The list already has a sorting in terms of relevance, but offers only a minimum of structure and overview.
This effect is even more enhanced in objects that offer further specific page elements. (e.g. wikis, portfolios, learning modules, ...)
2 Conceptual Summary
- Clicking on a create button in the page editor should no longer load a long list, but open a modal.
- This modal contains all types of page elements. These are grouped into "General", "Structure", "Complex" and "Specific".
- General, Structure, Complex always contain the same types of page elements. (Changes can only be made here if certain page elements are configured. » See Request: "Aritkel einfügen").
- Specific differs depending on the context. In the following mock-up, all known page elements are included together for an oveview – even if they never all appear in the same way.
- Plug-in page elements are assigned under Specific.
- For ILIAS 8, no individualisation of the assignment is planned, as it exists for magazine objects.
Add New Page Element contains:
- General
- Text
- Image/Audio/Video
- Data Table
- Clipboard
- Structure:
- Section
- Column Layout
- Accordion
- Advanced List
- Advanced Table
- Complex
- interactive Media
- Ressource List
- Content Snippet
- Code

Add New Page Element can also contains some specific page elements:
- Page Template

- File List
- Placeholder
- Map

3 User Interface Modifications
3.1 List of Affected Views
- ILIAS Page Editor
3.2 User Interface Details
Using a modal as seen above.
3.3 New User Interface Concepts
It is unknown whether a new element is needed within the modal, which carries the glyph and the identifier.
It might be possible to re-use slates. This needs consultation of the KitchenSink coordinators.
3.4 Accessibility Implications
No special requirements in respect of accessibility are to be expected.
