3 years ago From our discussion 5th May: In order to finish the group index page:
- separator between the groups admins names
- limit the title length by truncation at a certain character limit/window size.
- make the groups title a link to the user group.
- Check what is the ‘first’ public panel of the group? Is it first panel that was uploaded (regardless of publication date?) or first published (regardless of upload date?) , last recently modified? In my mind the ‘first’ would be the panel that has been made public. Probably something we can change later on, but I would just like to know what is used at the moment
- Hero image: We can use the same gray scale default image (something neutral saying “SDash” - I’m bothering Thomas just now) for all groups that need a default image and make semi-transparent coloured overlay. The colour would be different for each group. So its obvious it’s a placeholder but labels each group a bit different. (Thus an assigned color should stick with the group.)
Not too bad. Maybe these colours I chose here are bit too intense though. A tad less bright would be more 'professional'.

• As a user I want to easily get an overview over ‘publicly listed user groups’ so that I can quickly see if they are interesting for me. • As a user I want to easily find said overview…see ‘landingpage’ wireframe • As a user I want to find/search for publicly listed user groups so that I can find groups of people, labs or institutions which release content that is interesting to me/my research field/my interest
Search/filtering/sorting of groups: In the user groups index page user should be able to search for groups. But this search interface should be separate from search bar that we have at the top. The search in groups should return any group with a given search term: The title of the group, description of the groups and name of group admin. Sorting of groups: by date of creation, level of activity (last time panel was added), number of (public) panels.
An idea for the display of the user groups index page can be found here: https://codepen.io/tlemberger/full/OJWjvaQ
On the cards the user sees: Title, description, group admins name(s) (only display so many for which we have space..), # users, # smartfigures, button to go to the user groups page. “Hero image": This would be the first (public!) image that was shared in the group. If there are no public panels we should provide a default image. For example something along the lines of this:
