Description

This function would enable users to close a section within the outline tab.

It's probably not hard to implement this function, but... what would be the benefit? Doesn't a user have to review the text within the section anyway before deleting it? If you give me good reasons, I'm gonna do that... ;-). I personally don't feel like being in need of such a function, I don't see the usecase.

I like the idea of it in case you know that there are sections you would like to quickly delete without having to scroll to sections of text. Also, let's say you wanted to start a new outline from scratch, you could quickly close the sections, once again without having to go through the text. Beyond that, right now I can't form the concept behind why I like it, but I know there have been times that I've started creating outlines and have found that it would be convenient to have this option :D When I come up with any other reasons why, I'll let you know.

For starting a new outline from scratch there will be a link to delete the complete outline (#50) in 0.2. In later versions there will also be support for multiple outline versions per book (#14).

Do you have an idea how to integrate the "delete section buttons" within the outline view? Would it be sufficient to have link after the clickable verse reference (X), which would only show up on mouse over? I don't wanna "burden" the UI too much. It should be slick ;-)

That's exactly what I had in mind, like you said, after the verse reference and only when you hovered over it.

Sounds reasonable... I'm gonna add it... this is not much work anyway.

(In [111]) Refactoring of User Interface... this changeset was a lot of work :-)

User visible changes:

  • New editable attribute for outlines: Author (closes #75)
  • The contents of a bible book are now loaded with an ajax request
  • Universal tags and book tags are now displayed within a "accordion" menu
  • Revamped book selection menu (first version, closes #51)
  • First version of Tag Browser implemented (see #70)
  • Outline sections can now be deleted from the Outline Tab (closes #40)
  • The outline can now be hidden by clicking on a checkbox (closes #76)
  • Show a confirmation dialog before a tag would be deleted
  • The list of tags within the Bible Browser can now be searched / filtered

Internal changes:

  • New "main" controller which handles the basic layout
  • bible book identifier is now the short title rather than the db id
  • Moved code from "main_menu" into bible browser (book selection menu, chapter selection and outline options)
  • Cleaned up OutlineCommunicationController?
  • Prefix "process_" renamed into "handle_" (concerns function names)
  • Various refactoring changes
