A couple of issues and suggestions

Hi,

I just have a few remarks and observations I would like to share. I am sorry if some of it has already been mentioned.

First of all I would like to say that I appreceiate the new DW9 platform already. It was long overdue :-)

 

Issues:

  • Defining item translations in MC: the window for showing the translations is too small. You cannot see the translation keys (see attached screenshot)
  • When adding "Category" to an item, the expand function in the tree structure to the left doesn't work, if the category name contains a whitespace character
  • The layout of settings for an Ecommerce Sales Discount is not right (see attached screenshot)
  • For both paragraph and page options the layout for publication period is not right. It needs at least 1 more pixel width (see attached screenshot)

 

Suggestions for improvements:

  1. Color choice for item icon. When defining an item type you can select an icon. I would like a color selector for the icon as well. That way we can make it easier to differentiate item types for the editor.
  2. It would be nice to have the option of hiding the "Help"-button in the backend, in general. As long as the documentation for DW9 is not finished and it is not written for the editors, then it is no good. The editors have no use for documentation written (primarily) for DW partners implementing og developing solutions. So I would rather hide the option for most customers on the new platform. Just leave it for the administrator user.

Hi Jens Jakob

Thank you for the input - it is great input, and we will address the issues and good suggestion with the coloring of icons in items now we changed to font based icons.

Regarding the help button, yes, it has an issue right now. We did re-write the manual also for editors, so editors will get help button links like this: http://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/content/modules/forms-for-editors. That content is both for editors and partners.
