Just a little idea to include a small icon (instead of full text in desktop) for the paste-app. Otherwise we have to link to the app on the portal page (f.e. in the sidebar).

I think we should discuss this, because we will have a similar problem with the calendar.

It could may be to much in the navbar, if we add both. Consider here small displays.

Also i would place this icon on the right side together with the other icons. It looks strange together with the text from the other apps.

It was – as mentioned – a spontaneous idea, so we can discuss it, yes. I thought it would be ok to quick start the dialog with an example, even if it is so easy to implement. ;)

It could may be to much in the navbar, if we add both. Consider here small displays.

In my opinion it makes no difference, if we have one or two more items in the menu list on mobile devices. (hm, or could mobile screens with low resolutions like 320x240 be a problem?) User will afaik just scroll over it. Additionally, the menu will be the most time hidden. Or do you mean with "small screens" netbook-like devices, too?

Also i would place this icon on the right side together with the other icons. It looks strange together with the text from the other apps.

hm, i wanted to have logical separation: On the right are user-options (login, profile, control panel and private messages), on the left fulltext-links to apps. (ok, after this schema the search is atm misplaced…) However, I get the problem that some displays (mostly from smaller notebooks) are not so wide to display fulltext links for Paste(bin) and even Calendar additionally. So the idea was to only use small icons, which reduce the attention from my perspective, too.

Moreover, if we place the calender prominent on the portal page, it is questionable, whether we need a link in the top navigation. In my humble opinion not.

Alternatively, we could make three blocks:

  1. One on the left for apps. This is already quite fine with full-text links. We could only add icons, which are displayed mobile.
  2. Then the useroptions (login, profile, control panel and private messages). Quite fine already, too.
  3. The third block is for "nice-to-have"-features like the search, paste and calendar. Some of them could on smaller screens (no mobile, i mean mostly netbook-like) be hidden, if they are accessible on other ways.

(uh, long text, many ideas ^^)

Well, i forgot to include the admin-notification-bar in my thoughts (reports, suggestions for new articles etc.). They have to be placed somewhere, too…

@chris34 Could you take a look at this again? If i remember it correct we also had a discussion in IRC about this.

Do you still want to add it in the header, or is a link on the portal page fine for you?

chris34 commented 9 years ago

As it is now in the portal-sidebar, i will close this (for now).
