[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] Wok / Ginger sidebar

Tue Aug 30 20:12:06 UTC 2016

Hi team,

I was about to integrate Ginger sidebar mockup that I've sent but it occurred to me that is still impossible to work with this sidebar without performing some changes in Wok JS due to user access roles, unless all tabs in administration are under the same rule. Right now the tab-ext.xml lists all tabs with the same roles:

<access role="admin" mode="admin" />
<access role="user" mode="none" />

Should I keep this role to just the "Administration" tab and check other pages by the capabilities?

Regards,
Samuel

I'm not saying we will remove the tab-ext.xml, what I meant is that:

1-      Move the tabs for network, storage and system services (and firmware and other panels as well) as nested tags inside the administration tab in the tab-ext.xml and use ginger.capabilities object to hide them once the user lands on the administration tab.

OR

2-      Keep only administration tab in tab-ext.xml and insert all available sidebar options as static HTML elements but still use ginger.capabilities to hide unavailable options.

Options 1 requires minor changes in wok.main.js inside the navbar functions. Option 2 would require same amount of work on Wok but would keep functions exclusive to Ginger.

I see Option 1 requiring changes on Wok. Option 2 seems simpler to be implemented as it only involves changes on Ginger.

Hi Samuel,

There is no way to remove the tab-ext.xml file.
It is used by wok to load the plugins and changing/removing them will affect all plugins and we do not want that.

The tab-ext.xml file needs to be update to only contain one tab "Administration".
That tab will be related to one HTML file which will create the sidebar menu created according to Ginger needs.

Sure. I'm considering that this will be a huge amount of work because we'll have to look up for the capabilities before rendering the main Ginger landing page OR we put the Ginger panels as static elements instead of using tab-ext.xml. Either way we would have to create a single .html.tmpl file for each panel and remove the accordions and maybe move or create new JS functions to initialize them.

Looks good Samuel

Just a reminder: make sure to also consider that there are some features
that will not be available at a given time in the host but should be considered
in this design too. In your screenshot we're missing the Power
Management and the Firmware Update features, for example, probably
because you do not have tuned-adm and WoK isn't running in a Power
system.

Created a new variation with a sticky fixed floating sidebar and single contente on the page. I also removed the accordion because if we are going to display only one item per page, we shouldn't have hidden elements on the page.

Hi Samuel,

I'd say to keep the menu always visible in a left panel/menu and with a default first view when user enters on Administration tab.

Hi team,

Based on the feedback I've created a new mockup putting all Ginger features in a floating vertical menu (I've only put some of them but you'll get the idea).

Hi Samuel,

First of all thanks for your extensive investigation on various possibilities in front of us !!!

I personally liked the option https://www.sitepoint.com/ which would be ideal to have with possibly 3 level navigation.

Nevertheless, let us start with having side pane to provide immediate relief with the way proposed in the figures ginger_sidebar_1.png and ginger_storage_2.png and eventually make it more better if it is too complex doing all of it ones.

I agree with Daniel recommendation for the for ginger_sidebar*.png, ie. have one second level tab for now and all the functionalities go under the side pane which would be enabler in future some thing similar to your proposal of https://www.sitepoint.com/
Thanks and Regards
Chandra

Hi team,

We currently have an issue with Ginger/Gingerbase navigation bar in small screen resolutions and we also have huge tables in System Services page. Since working on the navigation bar involves editing Wok styles, I'm sending this e-mail to Wok mailing list instead of Ginger group.
I looked for successful combinations of sidebar + horizontal navigation bars and so far I couldn't find any example that would exactly fit with Wok and its plugins. The majority of examples I'm listing below are very good with traditional pages with deep subcategories and the navigation bars can work as sitemaps and replace breadcrumbs:

·         http://www.worldwildlife.org/ - https://vimeo.com/166812605

·         https://www.theguardian.com/us - https://vimeo.com/166812599

·         https://next.ft.com/fastft - https://vimeo.com/166812597

Wok currently has two navigation levels. Kimchi doesn't have multiple sections but Ginger and Gingerbase uses collapsible panel groups to separate sections that could be third level elements on a sidebar. This was already discussed when we moved some features from Ginger to Gingerbase but I think we could achieve a functional sidebar with up to three levels without using a "landing page" for second-level elements.

In the attached screenshots ginger_sidebar1 and ginger_sidebar2 are mockups for an off-canvas menu that would slide the main content and hide itself once an option is clicked. It would also hide the other panel accordions. Here are two off-canvas menu in action:

·         http://codepen.io/SitePoint/full/uIemr/

·         https://codepen.io/benske/full/cxrta/

Since this would require a change in Wok tabs and ginger/gingerbase tab-ext.xml, I think we could implement something entirely different that would with Wok and all plugins. This site menu only have first-level options on the sidebar but I think we could add collapsible links like a tree-table menu: https://www.sitepoint.com/
In addition to the sidebar, we could put a search/filter input on the top that would allow the user to type the desired option and show its position on the menu. Please take a look at the remaining attached screenshots. I did one variation with the content aligned to the center and another one aligned to the left.

Regards,
Samuel
