Improve USability of Container Links
Page Overview
[Hide]1 Initial Problem
Container link objects (courselink, grouplink, categorylink, studyprogramme-link) adopt the tile image and description of the referenced container. While tho object title can be modified, tileimage and description are fixed to the configuration of the container referenced
This FR is related to Improve Display of tiles
2 Conceptual Summary
add configuration options to container links that give the opportunity to configure tile image and description in the same manner as the title.
default remains the adoption of title, tile and description. After creation of the object users shoud have a radio button that allows configuration of individual tile/description. If the own configuration is chosen, a subform which allows selection of image (from object service, same form as containers use) should appear (textentry for description)
Existing objects should not change their behaviour, but the new options should be available.
3 User Interface Modifications
3.1 List of Affected Views
- Configuration of container link objects (in containerlink service)
![](./data/docu/mobs/mm_97578/Tile_Image_config.png?il_wac_token=021481158ec64e1ee48c3741801dbfe0f61ffd68&il_wac_ttl=5&il_wac_ts=1725752873)
screenshot that shows option to chose own tile, description should be similar
After configuring own tiles, the images are displayed in all views that show the tiles and contain these containerlinks
3.2 User Interface Details
The form that allows the configuration of a tile image (from object service) needs a configuration that enables this form to be used as subform
3.3 New User Interface Concepts
no new concept, but reuse of elemets that exist. Probably the coniguration of tiles should be transferred from legacy-ui to current elements
3.4 Accessibility Implications
should not exist
4 Technical Information
mainly object service and containerlink service are affected. A small fix for courselink, categorylink and grouplink is needed, a PR for these fixes is submitted (#5471)
5 5 Privacy
no issues should exist
6 Security
Object service needs a new option to display the tile-selection form as subform, I assume no security implcation here
