Issue 15: Simplify the General Configuration page
1 person starred this issue and may be notified of changes. Back to list
 
Reported by techok...@gmail.com, Feb 7, 2010
Describe the enhancement:
The General Configuration page is a big, gnarly mess.  It should be broken
down into much more manageable segments and properly categorized.  For
example: gravatar settings should go under Users.

Why do you think this enhancement should be implemented?
It makes administration a lot simpler, easier, and cleaner.  Confusing the
site admin is a Bad Thing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Whatever version the Administration demo is running.

Please provide any additional information below.
I told this before to one of the devs (he goes by the name Sir Gallantmon
on MSN) and here is the convo:
(11:48:06 AM) Techokami: so uh why are all the settings on one big long page
(11:48:12 AM) Sir Gallantmon: for what?
(11:48:14 AM) Techokami: General Configuration
(11:48:17 AM) Sir Gallantmon: Ahh
(11:48:25 AM) Techokami: you could break that down into smaller pieces
(11:48:27 AM) Sir Gallantmon: General Configuration is probably the oldest
page of the Admin panel
(11:48:47 AM) Sir Gallantmon: most of the other pages have been rewritten
to break them up a bit more
(11:48:58 AM) Techokami: you should follow suit with this one
(11:49:15 AM) Techokami: maybe move the gravatars settings to be unser
Users, for example?
(11:49:19 AM) Techokami: *under
(11:49:41 AM) Sir Gallantmon: if you have suggestions, it would be great if
you would fill out a report in http://bugs.enanocms.org/

Definitely valid. I'm open to ideas (and I have a few).

a) An instant-response search field
b) Some hierarchical system so that config entries don't have to all be splattered on
one page
c) Separate config pages.

The problem with b and c is the plugin API. Right now there are a bunch of hooks
where plugins can throw in their own HTML in GeneralConfig, and one hook where they
can save. That would have to be completely broken for something like this to work,
and that would not be appropriate for a beta-3 release.

Ideas and patches are welcome, but that doesn't mean I'm completely opposed to
working on this myself. Unfortunately I have things to worry about that are a lot
more time critical than Enano at the moment, which is why I pushed 1.1.7 when I did.
