Page Overview
[Hide]This request is part of the project for a New Page Editor.
1 Initial Problem
With ILIAS 7, the first steps towards more user-friendly and attractive insertion and editing of media objects have been made.
However, some problems have also become visible that could not be dealt with ILIAS 7
These are:
- NUR BEI VORHANDEN SEIN EINER PROGRESS The visibility of the upload process for media with larger file sizes can still be improved.
- Position of Style-Setting in a Separate Tab. POSTPONED
- Additionally: Why can't the style differ from reference to reference.
- Additionally: Why are the style tab and the style dropdown also displayed, if only one style is available and therefore nothing can be selected?
- NOCHMALS ZU PRÜFEN, DA TEILS UNTER 7 BEREITS GEGEBEN : The differences between "Instance Properties" and "Default Properties", as well as "Instance Link Areas" and "Default Link Areas" is hard to understand for most users. Especially if the media is only used in exactly one context. In this case, an additional question arises: What is the benefit of the Usage Tab?
- POSTPONED, da bspw. für HTML-Objekte notwendig » braucht eigene Lösung The file management for the entire medium, which provides overlapping possibilities with media pools, requires a great deal of explanation and is hard to understand.
- POSTPONED Changing the file used for one of the views is confusing to users and leads to a lot of false changes (e.g. changing the image for all instances instead of only the current one, inability to change the fullscreen view, ...).
- POSTPONED Limitation of File Type in Media Upload (See Mantis #30434])
- POSTPONED leichter Bildupload via D&D » Drag&drop media files directly in content page via placeholder
Entfernung des Tabs "Dateien"/"Files" würde Probleme für den Upload von HTML bringen.
Idee: Herauslösen solcher Funktionen in eine eigenes Seitenelement
2 Conceptual Summary
- While uploading a media file, the progress of this process should be visualised more clearly. If possible using a standardized way across the different uploads in ILIAS.
- Style is offered in the Properties. (no longer in a seperate Tab)
- Located after Size and before Caption.
- only if more than one style class can be selected.
- Style of the instance is located under Instance Properties.
- If a media is only used in one context:
- The "Instance Properties" and "Instance Link Areas" are not offered.
- The term "Default" is omitted from the titles of the displayed tabs.
- The tab "Usage" is not displayed.
- Abandon file management in such a structure

9 Discussion
Seiler, Yvonne [yvseiler] 29 JULY 2021: Do you see a way to have thumbnails displayed in the style class? Not all users can work well with the labels I think. Now that we've elevated it to a more visible level in the form, that might be a helpful step.
