TOPIC: Menu itemid next to menu item name when assigning modules

Menu itemid next to menu item name when assigning modules 11 months, 2 weeks ago #786

Hi everybody,

Had an idea for the UI where you assign modules to put the itemid of the menu item name next to it so you know which itemIDs you're assigning modules to. I've had this issue a number of times where I wanted to assign to a particular itemid, or figure out which itemid a menu item was, and it would be easier if that was featured right next to the module name. An example would be this:

I really like this idea and will work to get a draft in soon for 3.0. Would it be a bad idea to show the Itemid and more menu item info in a Tooltip or Popover? Or more beneficial to see the Itemid inline...

thanks kyle i think having the itemid inline would be better because it would be faster to look at. but your idea of putting more information about the menu item in a tooltip would work great in conjunction to that so if you hovered over a menu item it could show additional info. what that additional info might be im not quite sure yet maybe show other modules that are currently assigned to that menu item as well? so if you were assigning to a specific menu item, forgot what modules were on that page already, you could hover it and a tooltip would show you which modules were already on that page. just ideas

The screenshot looks somewhat like the interface from 2.5.
Imho that's much better than the current state of the menu assignment.

I've also heard more people say it's confusing compared to what they're used to (2.5) and do believe this needs work.

Kyle, do you have any code on this that can be worked on/extended, or is this merely in a state of 'open for all proof of concept'-codecontribution?

Peter van Westen (@nonumber) is working hard on a new module menu assignment UI for 3.0 based off this UI mockup jsfiddle.net/kyleledbetter/ECGMN/3/
