Admin Panel: make links to wiki more consistent

Each tab has a different way of linking to the wiki (e.g. the “Instructions” link for Cover Art but the “How it works” link for Chat, and “Documentation for libraries | patrons” in the General tab); perhaps instead, each tab could have as the first hyperlinked list item “Help and instructions” in italics, so the admin is smoothly introduced to each function. Could we do something along these lines? It needs to be prominent as the first item in each tab, but I'm open to thoughts on exact wording etc. I'm also not 100% sure which URL should be used for each link as there's no single page with a menu of pages for each section. I presume headers in the wiki pages aren't anchors, so we can't link to http://wiki.chilifresh.com/doku.php/admin for each section but highlighting the relevant part?

JP: Excellent idea! Let's do that. We can link to specific part in wiki using anchor - just that it has to be higher-level topic. E.g., you must put it between more of “====” - then it gets an anchor and index section. Would you send me a link for each section that I can add? Also - if you thing we should add new question-marks somewhere, could you please create them and just send me ID and section→item where I should place the new ones?

I'll start with the admin pages and their links, then go on to the question marks. I figure it's actually quite useful to have links to the library and patron pages for each main section so:

Now the question marks in the Admin Panel (I'll also want to look at question marks in the user interface, but only when I've finished the user documentation). You'd already let me know how to edit existing ones, so I'm doing that and adding here a list of the new ones:

I think that's all the ?s sorted for the admin side, now!

Connections widget under Reviews link in OPACs: Share This shows incorrect number of users

When I click 'Share this', I get the lightbox with the sharing options on the right, and the item info on the left. For the first few examples I picked, it showed as “1 users have this” but when I clicked this line, it took me to the items and said that 0 users have this item. For item 9780486284736, it still says “1 users have this” but in fact 2 users have this item. I think it's displaying 1 instead of the actual count. See screenshot of where I mean:

Admin Panel > Connections > General Settings: add colour picker tool

There are four colour settings (bar colour, bar font colour, promotion border colour, promotion background colour) where you can currently enter text or a hex code, if you know what you're doing. Is it possible to add a little pop-up colour picker tool so users can find the shade they like and it fills in the hex code for them?

JP: Will get implemented

When posted a review, showed My Following 5x

Book clubs: add “leave book club” option for administrators

When I view the Pride & Prejudice book club, I have no “Leave book club” option. I presume this is because I'm an administrator? It would be useful if there were still a “Leave book club” button, that would a) message the book club creator to alert them that I'm leaving the club and b) remove me as an administrator and a member. Would this be possible?

JP: I will check that.

Book clubs: fix default settings for new clubs

My test user created a new book club (“Horror lovers unite!”) and left the settings as “invitations only - no” and “visible publicly - yes” but when I went to join the club, I 1) couldn't see it List All Book Clubs (but that's probably just a cache issue, as I retrieved the club when I searched for “horror”) and 2) couldn't join it because it was showing as password-protected. (I've got around this by inviting myself, but shouldn't need to as it's not set to invites-only.)

JP: OK.. on this topic - I feel we need to improve the book club listing - any ideas on that?

Admin panel: Automate <XBR> usage. From your response to Jenny, I think this is already on the To Do list? This is something I’d expect to be automatic by the system.

JP: Yes, this will get fixed

Admin panel: Correct Connections > Covered Hosts breadcrumb link. When in the ‘covered hosts’ section, the ‘Connections’ breadcrumb link goes to the cover art tab.

JP: Good point

Remove BETA label from QR Lists page

On http://chilifresh.com/general/qr_lists/, there is still the word “BETA” which I removed elsewhere but didn't spot this one (and can't edit this page anyway) - can you remove it please? Thanks.

Item search: when starting new search, remove result from previous search

When I've carried out a search, the results hitlist is below the search box. When I enter a new book title and hit “search”, the previous search's hitlist is still visible, which is confusing. Could it be cleared at that point? (This would make space for my next request - the two go together really.)

JP: screenshot, please. I am not sure where the result hitlist appears below..

In this screenshot you can see the hitlist of results for “kittens” is still displaying while Connections is carrying out my new search for “little” (you can see the 'in progress' boxes in the top right corner). This isn't a major issue, and given my comments in the issue above too, I suspect it was made worse by my browser running slower than usual (which I hadn't considered, as I generally have a great connection speed!). However, clearing the hitlist on clicking 'search' (or on typing in the box) and then reloading the hitlist when the new search is finished, might be a slightly clearer process, especially for users with slow connections!

Item search: move the 'search in process' scrolling dots to below the search box

Simple one - I just never notice them in the top right corner and wonder if the search is in process or not. Could they be moved to just underneath the search box (or add a “search in progress” text there).

JP: we use that “search in progress” icon for all section loading, it is a part of loading function which is general. Would adding additional “search in progress” icon to underneath search box work?

Yes, I think that would be a great solution. This could appear in between clearing the old hitlist and loading the new one (instead of retaining the display of the old hitlist) - see previous item (“Item search: when starting new search, remove result from previous search”)!

Text-based widget: correct action of 'update' button

When I make a change to the settings of the text-based widget, at http://chilifresh.com/admin/widgets-text and click 'update', I am returned to the main Reviews > Widgets page (http://chilifresh.com/admin/widgets/). I have to click the 'text-based widget' link again to get back to the screen and see the updated 'Example output'. It does retain my change, but I shouldn't be returned to the main menu, I should stay on the text-based widget page and just see it reloaded with the new 'Example output'.

JP: OK

Booklist widget creation: add ability to re-order items on the list

JP: OK, we just fixed the issue with items not appearing in submitted ISBN order

Connections > Item view > Last 10 items I visited - fix last visit date

When I click on an item on my bookshelf, I go to the item display screen, and in the bottom right it has the “last 10 items I visited”. For me, they all say “Last visit: today” even though I haven't visited any others today.

There are also some that appear twice (“23 things they dont tell you about capitalism / Chang, Ha-Joon.” then “23 things they don't tell you about capitalism / Ha-Joon Chang. / Chang, Ha-Joon.” but they're the same item that I looked at yesterday (clicking my current read) with the same book jacket. I would expect deduplication in this list, even if I did visit the same item twice in a row.

JP: OK, we will fix this

Internal mail > Sent Items > correct typo in “recipient”

In my Sent Items box, the first column is labelled “Recepient” but it should be “Recipient”.

JP: will get fixed

Book clubs: add list of members to the “Banned users” page for selection

Whilst a search is useful, you can only ban users who are already members of your book club (I presume-?) so it would be good to have a box showing all book club members so you can just select the relevant user from that, rather than having to search. (It would be good to retain the search to filter the users, for clubs that have a lot of members.)

JP: Good point

Book clubs: 'x has joined your club' message shouldn't be sent when you create a club

When I created a new club, I was automatically made a member of the club, which is good. But, I was also sent a message in Connections to tell me that “User georginap joined [book club]”. I shouldn't receive this message when it refers to myself, I should only receive alerts for other users joining the club.

JP: sorry, this should not happen - will get fixed

My following > Show more > open 'settings' by default

When I click 'show more' in the “My following” box on my profile, I am taken to the page with the full list of events on the left, and two boxes of friends (followed and following) on the right. At the top are three buttons: “main page”, “back”, “settings” (and “settings” is misaligned, being slightly higher than the other two). When I click “settings”, I get a new box at the top right, with the two tickbox options. This is a small box and quite useful, but it's easy to miss the “settings” button. Can it be there by default, rather than having to click the “settings” button please?

JP: good point

Create new “My following” events

Book clubs: “Create thread” must move to modal window

Notify admin on book club join

On hold

Admin panel: Add “View/manage admins” tool. I can’t actually recall/see how the admin side works and when I’m in the Cromaine admin panel, for example, I can’t see who else is an admin. Should/could there be an area to see the staff users? (And invite a new staff member to be an admin if required – does that currently have to go through ChiliFresh?)

JP: There are admins, who are allowed to “Manage admins” - they can see other admins. The rest of admins can see all of the rest of functionality like add/remove moderators, manage users, etc. There is no single “top admin”.

Admin panel: Within that, clarify admin levels. I think ideally there should be two levels of library admin logins: one for a full admin, who can give rights to others and can access everything (billing details etc). The second level could be a default you provide, or the admins could have a list of functions that they can tick to assign to the second level. This is because, e.g. more staff should be able to moderate reviews, but also have access to ‘non-dangerous’ things like some of the chat menu options, and some of the general menu options (generating lists, documentation, maybe accessing/generating widget code…).

JP: We basically have it that way already, except there is no single superuser - there is top level of admins who can add other admins, but the rest of admins can do all other stuff. Moderators are separate from admins - but they have additional permissions than just moderating reviews - like creating widgets, etc. Don't ask me why - actually, the structure is quite simple, but we came to it as a compromise to satisfy the various combinations of library setups we have (we have different setups for different library types - sometimes there is just 1-location libs, sometimes there is a consortium, but different libraries pay for/administer different things, etc., so we have capability to group several top-level CF accounts into 1 hub as well as we can split 1 CF account into several sub-accounts.. anyway, it gets complicated :)

GP: Ah, I think I just didn't quite understand the admin setup. I'll not worry about this area. Thanks.

Admin panel: Fix General > Manage Users display. When I click on ‘manage users’ I see nothing (see screenshot). Does that mean Cromaine doesn’t have any Reviews/Connections users, or is this a bug? Because the tab names (here “general”) aren’t hyperlinked, it’s not obvious how to get back to the general screen either (I realise the options are the browser back button and the ‘administration panel’ link at the top right but-).

JP: As discussed, you saw this due to the unusual setup you have, but we will still check this

Admin panel: General > API keys to move. This is for the reviews API, so shouldn’t it be under the Reviews tab?

JP: We have it there as well and it was the primary location there. However, since SirsiDynix Enterprise and current version of Polaris PowerPAC require CF API key, we started getting bunch of requests for the API key since people could not find it under the Reviews tab, so we moved it out here. Also, with the single sign-on implementations coming out, this will be one of the key configuration elements that need to be added to PAC config of CF account

Admin panel: Fix General > QR lists display/ not displaying anything. As with “Manage Users” I get no content when I click this (though the URL changes to [http://chilifresh.com/general/qr_lists/-http://chilifresh.com/general/qr_lists/])

JP: As discussed, you saw this due to the unusual setup you have, but we will still check this

Admin panel: Remove “Suspended Reviews”/“My suspended”/“suspend” function. I’d be interested to know if this is being used-? I don’t see when a review would need to be suspended, it’s either accepted or rejected.

JP: Actually, this was suggested by some library.. the definition is rather a “Put on hold”. They use this state sometime when they communicate with the patron about the review

GP: Odd, but if a library wants it, I guess I can't say no!

Admin panel: Improve display of reviews. I find the list of reviews quite hard to read. How about a view more like the attached screenshot demos? (Existing display on the left, suggestion on the right; but, my new heading “Review:” should be “Review title”.) Is it necessary to say the language of the review? (Can users limit by language somewhere? Who decides what the language is? Why can admins not edit it here?) In particular, the item should be linked to, especially helpful in the example I’ve used where there is no ISBN and no title even displays.

JP: Well.. it does look better, but many libraries have requested that information to be there.. maybe the layout needs to be changed, but libs want the info there

GP: Ok… the only info I removed was the language and that could be added back in. I would still especially like to see a link to the item.

Admin panel: Fix display when clicking user name. As with the two previous examples of a blank display, in the screenshot (Admin-ClickGeorginaParsons.png) if I click my name, I get the same admin panel display with blank content. The URL is[http://chilifresh.com/general/users/&user=229179-http://chilifresh.com/general/users/&user=229179].

JP: As discussed, you saw this due to the unusual setup you have, but we will still check this
