Hello All,

I'm working on fixing Usability Issue #23 "Create, Delete, and Reorganise links need to be more prominent": http://www.elijahlofgren.com/silverstripe/create-delete-and-reorganise-links-need-to-be-more-prominent/

I'm planning to change the links into buttons so they will look like this: http://www.elijahlofgren.com/silverstripe/images/usability/23-proposed-buttons.png

Let me know if you think there is a better way. :)

Thanks,

Elijah Lofgren

Looks good.

I think the "Go" button should be on the same line as the dropdown however

We're actually discussing the removal of the 'Go' button.

In addition, there is the possibility that we wouldn't even need any of the ‘Create’ ‘Delete’ and ‘Reorganise' buttons if we simply did the following by default:
* Show the create page drop-down
* Show the 'Delete selected pages' button by default
* Show the page checkboxes by default
* Allow drag and dropping by default.

However, I don't know if those changes would make things easier to use or not.

I'd love to hear your thoughts here:

I have made the links into buttons in the cms gsoc branch r37191.

Done in in cms gsoc branch r37168 :)

There has been some discussion about removing the "Reorder..." button and making drag and drop the default. See:

What do you think of this change?

Thanks for your feedback,
