{quote format_guid="bbcode" comment_id="5071" user="laetzer"}I'd like to [b:dd524ab463]propose a feature[/b:dd524ab463]. In admin » wiki » wiki settings » list settings, admins can control a giant table, the "list pages" function. It's very complex, and difficult to style. That table shows all the important stuff. I don't think it should be slimmed down. But – if an admin doesn't actually want to show important things, he can only disable it. The table is informative in the beginning and loses it's info-power when he tries to "beautify" it (make it easier to scan, or disable unimportant info). So I'd like to offer an [b:dd524ab463]alternative listing[/b:dd524ab463], that looks fancy in the beginning, and loses it's fancyness when one adds more information. Admins can now try to find a balance. Depends on what their site is supposed to achive. Hardcore-wiki with the number of versions of a page at your finger tips VS corporate site just looking for a basic sitemap function. The [b:dd524ab463]downside[/b:dd524ab463] is probably the duplication of TPL-code. Maybe this would be getting streamlined in the future. Here's what I mean, the [b:dd524ab463]new listing[/b:dd524ab463] would look like: [img:dd524ab463]http://www.bitweaver.org/storage/users/32/32/images/637/01.gif[/img:dd524ab463] The names are truncated, hovering reveals the full name, click activates the checkbox or calls the page, page count is moved to the heading above, the status icon only appears when page is locked, the individual hit count is moved in front of the page names, and when additional info values (format, version, number of links) are activated by the admin, they pile up underneath: [img:dd524ab463]http://www.bitweaver.org/storage/users/32/32/images/638/02.gif[/img:dd524ab463] ... piling up like there's no tomorrow, but still to be sorted by: [img:dd524ab463]http://www.bitweaver.org/storage/users/32/32/images/639/03.gif[/img:dd524ab463] and the [b:dd524ab463]settings[/b:dd524ab463] in the backend could be like this, with the option of either a dlist or a table: [img:dd524ab463]http://www.bitweaver.org/storage/users/32/32/images/640/04.gif[/img:dd524ab463] I thought about having settings for [b:dd524ab463]fine tuning[/b:dd524ab463]: [img:dd524ab463]http://www.bitweaver.org/storage/users/32/32/images/641/05.gif[/img:dd524ab463] ... but it is [b:dd524ab463]probably overkill[/b:dd524ab463] to put these in the database and they could just be edited directly in the template: [img:dd524ab463]http://www.bitweaver.org/storage/users/32/32/images/642/06.gif[/img:dd524ab463] (all in one place for easy editing and then put into place like this:) [img:dd524ab463]http://www.bitweaver.org/storage/users/32/32/images/643/07.gif[/img:dd524ab463] /wiki/list_pages.tpl would include 2 different TPLs depending if table or definition list is, like list_pages_table.tpl and list_pages_dlist.tpl. Additionally, the admin could activate an option "show table/dlist link to the user" which means that the function "list pages" shows first the default, but lets the user toggle between the two. What do you think? {/quote}
