Change UI for saving drafts of and publishing articles #62

Closed patbl closed 8 years ago

[Copied from https://github.com/tog22/eaforum/issues/54#issuecomment-217753747]

There are two buttons, "Submit" and "Save and continue," that as far as I can tell do almost the same thing. The only difference is that "Submit" redirects you to the article URL, while "Save and continue" keeps you on the "Submit article" page.

confusing-ui

I would expect "Save and continue" to simply save your article, not make it public. But to control that behavior, you have to use a drop-down menu that typically has only two options: "Drafts for so-and-so" and "EA Forum." And it seems that the drop-down menu defaults to "EA Forum." So if you don't notice that drop-down menu, or you don't understand what it does, you're likely to publish an article before it's ready.

Here are some ideas for a better UI:

There should probably be a "Delete" button on the edit page as well. It's weird that you can only delete it by going to the public URL.

61 is a retroactive duplicate.

Are you planning to assign yourself to this @patbl ? No worries if not!

Whoever does this, please implement Patrick's bulleted suggestions for the UI changes.

patbl commented 8 years ago

Maybe, but it would probably be in a couple of weeks. I'll assign myself if I start working on it. Someone else can grab it if they want to.

@arichard4, in case you're interested in doing a little forum work 😄

I'll take a look, will self-assign if I am

tog22 commented 8 years ago

That works well, thanks!

The tag and "Post to" form elements have been removed.

The UI overhaul introduced this issue, which I'll fix soon.

Other loose ends can have their own issues.

Great work!
