GSoC: Improved Multi-lingual Content Management (Update Status)
Gladly the project had a big update in these months, so let me show you! Having such a complex project in your hands can be sometimes overwhelming, managing time, defining a certain task as finished, planning further tasks is the hardest part.
How I saw coding before:
How I see coding now:
What has been done
- List view, this task just needs some improvements in UI/UX (User Interface, User Experience)
Nothing selected:
Select item and language:
Display list of items:
After selecting an item from this list, you’ll be in the side-by-side page.
- Side-by-side, there are still some tasks left to do. The undo association button, select custom reference item (created but not associated to the reference language) and copy button.
Side-by-side default:
After selecting target language:
Buttons:
- Saves the item on the left side
- Saves the item on the right side
- Copies all content from the left to the right (not implemented, yet)
- Goes back to the list view
- Makes the target occupy the whole page for better editing
Hide reference example:
What’s left to do
- Finish ACL (what the user is allowed/forbidden to do)
- Finish tasks stated on the side-by-side
- Cleanup
- Write documentation
- Last tweaks
Last remarks
I would like to thank the GSoC Team and my mentors André Pereira da Silva, Jean-Marie Simonet and Nicola Galgano mostly for their patience and help provided during the whole project, this wouldn’t be possible without them :) All updates (issues + code) can be followed here.
