Hi Team,
Please find the attached designs & patch that contains complete functionality except below to do for quick search.
To Do:
- Unit test cases are not that sufficient to cover complete code, but will be working in background to cover up those one
- In pgadmin, for disabled menu items we need to add info that will describe why menu has disabled & how it will be enabled. Either another way to enable all of them & show respective reason in popup that menu is disabled for.
Please do let me know if I missed anything or suggestion of yours.
Looks very good. I haven't done an extensive code review/test, but two things spring to mind immediately:
1) I think the search box should be the top item on the Help menu. I do not think it should be on the far end of the menu bar, as it looks too much like it will search for data (think of search on a website).
- As we are showing menu items as well in search results, it can be redundant for end user & increase duplications of menu items. Please advise your thoughts on this.
The search box could be on the Help menu, with results shown in a sub-menu under it.
Another more simple option would be to move the search icon to be directly after the Help menu (which would hint that it's related to the menus), but I'm also concerned about the number of items on the top menu - we're getting to the point that 'common' window sizes would show the hamburger menu by default.
I personally feel we should not add the search box on the Help menu, it should be kept separate with a placeholder indicating what is it for. We can move the search icon after the Help menu.
What is your reasoning? It is, after all, specifically designed to help people.
OK, I have seen a couple of applications where the search box is inside the Help menu, agree with your point.
2) Do we need another loading icon? Surely there's one in the source tree already that we can use?
- As we are loading help articles count in background, so I have added background loading icon to show near to count of results. Our existing icon is of blue & white circle combination, which will be more useful to show foreground loading.
Hmm, OK.
Please do let me know your valuable inputs on this.
