Description

Hi guys,

using copy'n'paste of ce's in integrated backend is a bit ugly.

Copy to a page without content
1. copy content from a page with content
2. open a page without content -> no way of insertion
-> switch to list
-> insert
-> make visible
-> switch to page -> editable

Copy to the same page / a page with content
1. using the context menu is not very common in webapps.
the way tv makes copy'n'paste has much better usability:

add paste icons before and after any ce.

Hope that helps the usability team.

regards
Kay

Hy,

thanks for your suggestion. Bit hard to understand, but I got it :P

And we are already working on that. At the code sprint in Berlin
we discussed that topic. At the UXW09 I started to create Screens
for that and Lars worked on them in Berlin again. We wish to fully
streamline the UI of the Page Module between TV and the Classic
approach. For sure the current Page Module isn't the way to go!

I would suggest something like the way on the image ( idea is taken from templavoila ...)

Also please consider the GridElements approach.
Let us just add the icons next to the 'plus' icons.

well i like the TV approach, as the insert icons appear exactly at the position where the content will be placed after click. This is much easier to understand than toolbar icons :D

  • Target version set to TYPO3 6.0.x

As the new Page-Modul is like TV, we are talking about the same thing.
TV will be changed, too. So both ways are just the same - for a user.

I like the TV approach, too.
