IITCm menu: direct link to Plugins settings #18

Closed johnd0e closed 4 years ago

johnd0e commented 5 years ago

I need access Plugins settings a lot more than any other setting item. It would be convenient to have direct link to it in menu. It may be optional (Advanced Settings / Configure IITCm menu).

I generally want to update the design. The local community has already made preparations. I also want to rework the menu for plugins.

It is important, of course, not to lose the IITC functions.

Good to know! I like the pictures. Official iitc design extremely needs improvements.

I also have some ideas (not visual but rather functional), but I think that better discuss them in separate issues.

I also want to rework the menu for plugins.

Do you mean https://github.com/iitc-project/ingress-intel-total-conversion/pull/1232, or something else?

modos189 commented 5 years ago

https://github.com/iitc-project/ingress-intel-total-conversion/pull/1232 no, that's different. I would like to have a search for plugins, but there is a bad implementation, and I do not know java to do it myself.

I mean, when you install a lot of plugins, the toolbar gets very clogged. We need to figure something out.

Probably, McBen has begun work in this direction, has not yet looked

Right. And we even not have to implement it in core, e.g. see Free Sidebar plugin: http://www.giacintogarcea.com/ingress/items/

But this plugin is not perfect solution. In my opinion we should logically separate all controls into 3 groups:

  1. info and actions on selected portal
  2. other actions
  3. options

Only 1st have to be tied to portal info, other better to be movable.

P.S. I am no sure that it's directly related, but here I saw something related to controls grouping: https://github.com/hayeswise/ingress-intel-total-conversion/blob/master/plugins/wise-helper-toolbox-control-section.js

(can be seen in couple of plugins https://github.com/hayeswise/)

And trying to return to subject of this issue:

I also want to rework the menu for plugins.

In this issue I mean only this menu: image

And here I would like to add 1 item: Plugins, which lead directly to corresponding section of Settings.
