Hi list
I’ve made a small patch to improve admin usability. It’s mostly XHTML
The goal is to improve forms by displaying elements a better way,
grouping them by theme (settings, read, write, discuss, spam
protection, resources default and cache) and rephrasing some labels
to make them clearer.
If this patch is accepted, I’ll send some more for every admin pages.
I also plan to split the settings into separate pages instead of
using only one.
Cheers,
Frederic / neuro` on #typo@freenode
The patch I sent did not validate XHTML and included some code that
should not have been in (duplication of the tab method in the theme
helper for my own use).
Here is a corrected patch.
My apologies
Oh, and is this OK if I change the admin default colors ? that beige
is a bit sad isn’t it ?
Cheers

I like it, but there’s a couple problems:
- Missing a link at the top for Notifications
I’ll add one and repost the patch as soon as I’m home
- Spam Protection group has an uncapitalized second word
I’ll set this up in CSS with some text-transform : capitalize; to be
sure this won’t happen anymore.
- Resource Defaults links to Resource Settings. Link should be
changed to match group name (group name is better)
Yeah, forgot this, I was a little bit tired (understand completely
fucked up) when I did this).
And the most annoying issue:
Labels don’t vertically align with their checkboxes.
Didn’t notice this. OS and browser please ?
Incidentally, why move the labels on the left side of the
checkboxes? I prefer them on the right - that’s how you see
checkboxes almost everywhere else.
I just wanted to have all labels on the left, looks cleaner and it’s
easier to read IMHO. But this can be changed.
If this patch is accepted, I’ll start to send some more to have all
the pages look cleaner. Admin is the worst thing in Typo with content
state management. But admin is what users see.
Thank you for your feedback.
Merry Xmas
If this patch is accepted, I’ll send some more for every admin pages.

Because we don’t have to care for someone forgetting a capital letter
in titles anymore. HTML gives the structure and content, CSS gives
the style and headach as well.

Safari, OS X 10.4.8.
OK, got it.
It’s done too. Was a little bit ttricky to do it without Js because
Safari doesn’t suport form styling with CSS.
a personal preference.
I’ve tried both, and putting the checkbox on the right of the labels
just look damn ugly.
