News: only show news with a older date then tomorrow #125

Closed kordianbruck closed 9 years ago

kordianbruck commented 10 years ago

I would suggest to only show news items which publishing date is not in the near future (1 Day ahead or so). This would be especially useful for the TU Film which already published all items for this semester and where it would be nice to get the information just a day ahead.

DreierF commented 10 years ago

What do you want to be modified? Currently it searches for the newest article that is older than "now" and this item is shown as second so that you can see one item comming up in the following days (e.g. UM Film).

kordianbruck commented 10 years ago

I wouldn't show all future articles as this might be confusing.

DreierF commented 10 years ago

That's why it automatically scrolls to that position, so that you can easily scroll down to older news and up to newer articles / movies.

kordianbruck commented 10 years ago

Yes I noticed that. The suggestion is to show only max one day ahead of time, bad idea?

DreierF commented 10 years ago

I'd say yes. I think it could be little bit confusing in the first moment, but everyone will understand it. Otherwise if you cut off all that content you have no chance to access it. And you probably want to search not only for movies that play today or tomorrow.

Ok gotch ya. So maybe we can do something in between: you proposed a detail page, which might be nice but not so useful. Why not implement a selector in the Actionbar as there is with the mensa, where you can choose which data feed you want to look at.

When you initially open the activity, there should be a general option 'all' or 'featured' which shows currently interesting articles. The upcoming or from the past can be viewed on the single feed view, where we only look a a specific news feed.

What do you say? Good idea?

DreierF commented 10 years ago

But than we have nearly the same as before, that all news sources are separated and you have to switch between each. I've implemented a menu where you can select which sources should be shown.

This is actually working quite well up until now. I will close this for now.
