Improve the usability and the user interface of the WP Plugin for a better user experience.

EPIC

Improve property lists

USER STORY

As a real estate agent managing numerous property lists withing the onOffice for WP-Websites Plugin, I frequently encounter difficulties and ineffiencies when editing these lists individually. To streamline my workflow and improve productivity, I require the implementation of a "Quick Edit" button in the overview. This button should enable me to swiftly modify the name of the list, select the property filter, choose the list type, and assign a template without the need to navigate into each list individually.

The ability to efficiently manage property lists is essential for maintaining an organized and up-to-date real estate website. The currenty process of editing property lists, especially when dealing with a large number of them, is cumbersome and time-consuming.

To address these challenges and enhance the user experience, I propose the following feature:

• Quick Edit Button: The onOffice for WP-Websites Plugin should introduce a "Quick Edit" button within the property lists overview page
• When I click the "Quick Edit" button for a specific property list, a inline editor should allow me to modify the list's name directly.
• Property filter selection: Within the same editing interface, I should be able to select the property filter associated with the list, ensuring that the list displays the desired properties.
• List type configuration: The "Quick Edit" feature should also provide the option to change the list type (e.g. default or favorite list)
• Template assignment: I should have the ability to assign or change the template used for the property list, making it easier to customize the display of properties.

By implementing this "Quick Edit" feature, the onOffice for WP-Websites Plugin can significantly improve the efficiency and ease of managing property lists for real estate agents like me. This enhancement streamlines the editing process, allowing me to keep my real estate website organized and up-to-date more effectively, ultimately providing a better experience for both myself and visitors to the site.

@fredericalpers Please confirm for me which fields will be displayed in the "quick edit" screen? As I can see in the image "Quick Edit in property lists" you sent, there are the following fields:

1. List Names
2. Selected filter
3. List type
4. Templates => Are the fields I listed correct?

[fredericalpers]

@yeneastgate yes the fields are correct :)

[yeneastgate]

@yeneastgate yes the fields are correct :)

Thanks. It takes me 4 days to implement and test it

@fredericalpers During implementation, I found the issue:

• The "WP_List_Table" Class can only be used to view data.
• "inline_edit" method in "WP_Posts_List_Table" of the "Quick Edit" feature in core WordPress Which can only be used with a special meta key for posts and pages. You can see it in this line code: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_posts_list_table/inline_edit/

=> We will rewrite a similar "inline_edit" method with the "CustomQuickEditTable" new Class and use Ajax for "Update", and "Cancel" actions in the "Quick Edit" box.

So, I need 2 more days to do it => The deadline estimate will be changed from 4 days => 6 days Please, let me know your opinion. Thanks!

@yeneastgate as mentioned by you we unfortunately can not use it as intenden. Thank you for implementing it with a custom quick edit. We will test it and check its performance and will then give you are more detailed feedback if necessary. Thank you :)

@fredericalpers I got it. Thanks!

@fredericalpers This is the "quick edit" feature I implemented in Estate List. Please watch the demo video and give me your opinion.

Note: When you need to develop this feature further, please let me know so we can continue testing and implementing it. Thanks!

[fredericalpers]

@yeneastgate are there any problems occuring in the frontend when changing the list type or template etc.? Please let me know after testing one more time :)

[yeneastgate]

@fredericalpers As you can see in the demo video below: "List type", "Filter", and "template" still work fine.

Note: In the case of changing "List name", the shortcode will automatically update but "Pages using shortcode" will not update automatically. We need to copy the new shortcode and paste it into "Pages" as shown in the video below.
