RE: 7.2 A1 - Web Content Within Fragments
Just a few general observances about the new fragments from a UX perspective.
General fragment issues:
- Can't "select web content" directly from link, UX path is long through series of clicks
- Can't "edit web content" since menu was split in two (DXP 7.0 DE-33)
- Opacity on hover is very harsh and ...
- Possibly unnesscary because the configuration icon should really be an ellipsis menu in the topper
- Configuration "icon" is inconsistent, when blank portlet it is not a menu, when content loaded it's different icon and is a menu
General fragment issues:
- Fragment controls have no tooltips
- User has previous expereince with portlet toppers that have configuration options in a drop down menu
- Clicking delete ... no confirmation popup
- Title of fragment in topper can go missing
Thanks for the feedback Lee. I'll forward it to Juan, the team's designer
Thanks Jorge.
The fragments are really coming on strong and the changes between what was in 7.1 and now in .2 are phenomenall.

Hi Lee, many thanks again for your comments. We are embarking on a very exciting project but very challenging at the same time, we really appreciate the feedback. I answer your questions here.

Yeah it's very exciting. The fragments are really coming on strong. I would keep the widget portlet toppers and move the configuration icon into it. That would seem to solve the need for the opacity layer and allow for the widgets to be interacted with. I fear loosing the portlet topper from widgets within fragments will be a negative so would certainly advocate to leave them as is because they work really well.
I looked at the two web content menus issue, and reported the loss from 7.0
