Admin Panel Suggestions - 2010/10/22 00:19
From spending some time some 60 terms today, there are a few back-end changes that could have made the task easier:
1. CSV or similar import (would need the fields defined)
2. If, on the Control Panel screen, the four icons were in the usual icon area it would match the other screens in layout, and by putting them to the left they could stay there permanently allowing quicker switching between functions - only the lower area changing as necessary
3. In the Glossaries list it would be helpful to have the usual published one click icon - I realise that this can be done from the icon bar at the top. It would also be helpful to have a column showing the number of entries in each glossary.
4. In the Entries screen, again the one-click publish icon per row. Should the aliass and related terms be listed?
5. In the Edit Entry screen, the lower group of fileds could be made narrower and put to the right of the upper group. Then, below this, you could have a filterable and scrollable list of existing definitions to allow copy and paste or cross referencing.
6. In RD_Glossary, there were fields for Term, Category, Definition, and Comment. As an example: CRT, Opto-electronics, Cathode Ray Tube, a vacuum tube in which a hot cathode emits a beam of electrons that pass through a high voltage anode and are focused or deflected before hitting a phosphorescent screen. In the currrent version the Deffinition and Comment have to be merged, which makes styling harder. I think it would be better if they were split again; anyone not wanting to use the split could ignore the Comment.
I hope these ideas are helpful. Thanks for your work on this component.
