In early May, Kathleen and I will be participating it the Tour de Cure 2009, a bike ride to raise awareness and money for Diabetes. Craigslist (my employer) is sponsoring http://www.x a team that we'll both be riding on. Collectively, our team is trying to raise $75,000 during this years ride. If you have a few bucks to spare for a good cause, please consider sponsoring me or sponsoring my wife (or both!). It's for a very good cause. We're...
Interesting. But I'm wondering how you'll make the UI clean and clear? Here are some thoughts.
Right now, the select already takes a lot of vertical space. Plus, it seems it will list all local files in the hierarchy the same way core's default Taxonomy select does, i.e., a sucky way.
Last but not least, how will you list all selected files? I.e. the ones from local, YouTube, Flickr, slideshare and whatnot? You'll want the users to have a simple overview.
I think that Hierarchical Select is a good first step. Just look for a second at how it renders when in "dropbox mode", there's demo available (you'll want the second one). I think that'd be a good way to listing the different sources of files: "Youtube > some channel > movie name", "local > this > is > a > folder > hierarchy > filename" and so on. We could replace the source name with a logo.
I'm not sure, but maybe it's even a perfect match for this use case? It needs less screen estate. And when users want bigger selects, they can just resize it.
Less "UI constructs" or "widgets" or "elements" or whatever you call it, is always better!
It has been rethought of several times, and currently this is the latest mockup, which is also under review as well.
The thing is, we're still narrowing down the functionalities/information that we will be providing with this, so this will change in the future. Also, this is just a proof of concept, basically I'm trying to help the developers visualize it, since nothing is final yet.
So yes, there has and will be talk about how to best organize the data, whether we will be using modal windows, or you name it. Input is very welcome, please read the thread in groups.drupal.org and give your input. Let's make it the best and most useful that we can!
What is a recurring male fantasy? If you are the normal pervert, the normal heterosexual pervert you probably dream of two beautiful women cavorting together and with you. Nothing gets a man harder than watching two women having sex. To have both turn their attention to him is the fantasy becoming reality. Check out this
I received the results of one of my tests on Wednesday, and caused a bit of a debate with my professor. It was in C++ class. One of the practical portion questions was pretty simply:Write a piece of code that will use a for loop to calculate the number of digits in a positive integer
Apple has the best taste in the world. It also has the http://www.k tightest sphincter. This isnt much of a problem as long as they keep it in their pants, for example by scaring employees away from saying anything about anything that has even the slightest chance of bringing down the Wrath of Steve or his
So I think I may be building a desktop computer in mid-January, depending how our finances look. Its going to be mid-high range for gaming, with a budget of about $800 (I have a case and an LCD already). It needs to run Vista and Linux, and be compatible with both (Im thinking Arch). Ive

That was the very first mockup
