| Summary | 5624: Make private topics visually distinct from public topics | ||||
| Description | Currently, the private topics screen is not very visually distinct from public topics. This may result in confusion where someone thinks they're on a public topic but are actually in a private one, or vice versa. We need a better visual distinction between the two. Possible ideas: * Private topic posts use a different background colour, though this might not be ideal as colours should revolve around the seed as much as possible. * Private topic posts use a "speech bubble" design instead of the standard blocky design, similar to a chat app. This would require the most work but would have the best outcome. * Private topic posts have a border with a specific colour to indicate they are private (but this is not ideal because the use of borders is a setting). * Private topic posts have a "private" indication where "important" and "whisper" would normally go. This may conflict with "important" which is used by the warnings addon. Currently, I'm leaning towards a partial implementation of a different background colour; the avatar / left pane would have a different colour (probably yellow) while the rest of the post would keep the current partially seeded colour. And it would have some sort of indication it is a private post (since seed colours could also be yellow). | ||||

I like this goal. " * Private topic posts have a "private" indication where "important" and "whisper" would normally go. This may conflict with "important" which is used by the warnings addon." I like the idea of taking off whisper from private topics. But don't see a need to change "important" or add anything else. You could change the label on the post reply button(s) to something like "private reply". And use different icon(s) on the button. |

A hotfix (a TAR of files to upload) has been uploaded to this issue. Only apply this hotfix if you absolutely need it and cannot wait until the next release of Composr (releases are more reliable and strictly tested). As of Composr version 11, the recommended way to apply a hotfix is by following the same steps as an upgrade (https://baseurl/upgrader.php, use the hotfix on the step “Transfer across new/updated files”). The upgrader will automatically skip files belonging to addons you do not have installed or that are newer on disk than in the hotfix. Otherwise, you can manually extract and replace these files (do not replace if your on-disk file is newer than the one in the hotfix). Always take backups of your site or at least files you are replacing before applying a hotfix. Not sure how to extract TAR files to your Windows computer? Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/). |
