Information about planned and released features

Tabs

Streamlined, responsive of Weblink Settings

1 Initial Problem

  • The current Table implementation is not responsive at all and des not work on mobile devices. 
  • The "Show" and "Manage" sub-tabs are an established pattern but are not obvious in their operation. For such a small object, it seems unnecessarily convoluted.
  • In objects, the concept "online" is used, while services are typically "activated". 
  • Links are usually no longer created and used as lists. 
  • "Type" in ILIAS regularly (but not always) denotes an irreversible decision. In the weblink, the "Type" setting can be easily implemented.

This feature wiki article is followed by the article Privacy Improvement of Weblinks

2 Conceptual Summary

  • The order in the Settings tab would be: Target, Title, Description, Online, Tile Image . The "Content" tab is abandoned and no longer exists. The web link is only edited in the settings tab and nowhere else. 
  • The checkbox "Active" should be transferred to the normal "Online" concept. 
  • The link lists are abandoned.
  • The section "Type" should be renamed "Target".
