UI: collection grid view - make whole box clickable #59

Closed mark-dce closed 10 years ago

mark-dce commented 10 years ago

[ ] in collection show view (tiles) the whole box should be clickable to bring up the show view for the item currently only the title is clickable
[ ] when I click on the item title, I go to the pid's show page (image or collection)
[ ] when I click on the item image, I go to the pid's show page (image or collection)
[ ] when I click anywhere inside the items bounding box, I go to the pid's show page (image or collection)

see #56, #58 - use the same tile partial for all three views?

@mark-dce I assume you are talking about a page like http://localhost:3000/personal_collections/tufts.uc:4 ?

If that's the case, if we make the whole tile clickable to link, that would disable it's drag and drop capability.

Really??? I suspect there must be a way to make an item both clickable and draggable - see this post: http://forum.jquery.com/topic/can-the-same-element-have-draggable-and-click-event

@mark-dce those docs are for a library we are not using. We are using nestable. We need to define a drag handle that is not clickable as a link. Currently we have the whole tile is the drag handle with the exception of the title, which is a link.

I think we could do this if we patch up the clickable library. The approaches that some people are taking in the Jquery-Draggable link seem overly simplistic because if your mouse moves even 1px between the time the button goes down and the button comes up, then it's a drag rather than a click. Gmail does something like this, but It looks like it gives you a small amount of leeway before considering your action a "drag" event.

Agreed - it almost seems like you could consider any movement less than say half the width or height of the thing as a click - i.e. you've moused it, but you didn't move it far enough to impact the order, so you must have wanted to view it instead. Even 10%-15% of the object dimensions would work and would accommodate folks with shaking hands.
