Joseph Toman 8 Years Ago I think I'm missing something obvious in all the UI changes: once you add a page, for instance, how do you navigate back to the site in order to see that page? In previous versions there was always that "back to the site" link in the upper left of the main panel. I don't see anything equivalent here. Also, putting the 'add' icon in the lower right is very Google-ish, but it's not expected if all the other controls are on top or on the left. All in all though, looking good.One more bit: so Lexicon is some combination of styles and javascript? Is this still based on AlloyUI + Bootstrap or did another change happen? I thought AlloyUI was to be phased out because YUI3 was getting mothballed. Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Jorge Ferrer Joseph Toman 8 Years Ago Hey Joseph, Thanks for your feedback!Regarding adding a page, what you see in alpha 2 is (clearly) unfinished. The final solution, which we are trying hard to include in our next alpha/beta release includes the page hierarchy in the product menu and allows adding a page from there. I'd love to hear your feedback once we have it ready.Regarding the 'add' icon in the lower right corner we have done and keep doing testing to ensure it works from a user experience perspective. In general when it's shown there are no more primary actions in that view, but right now some portlets' redesign might be unfinished which is why it might be confusing. We are making progress quite fast in this front though so hopefully in the next few releases it will make more sense. Please let me know if you still think it doesn't.Regarding Lexicon, it is a design language. Liferay 7 includes an implementation (whose internal name is Atlas) for the web and based on Bootstrap. It does not depend on AlloyUI or YUI3. These two libraries are still being used in specific cases within some portlets when there was no proper replacement yet, but eventually we will change them all and will stop shipping them out of the box.

I was using the example of adding a page but the same issue extends to anything you would need to do on a control panel page and then go back to the site. Of course I understand it's unfinished, but it seemed to me that this must be so annoying to the developers as they work on getting 7.0 ready that they would have fixed that first, and I must be missing the obvious. I could see the 'add' icon in the lower right being expected if you're approaching this from a mobile first perspective. In that situation the relative size of the icon would make it much more prominent.Thanks again. It really looks like you folks are giving Liferay a thorough shake out of some of the more cruftier elements, and I can't wait to see the final product. Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel
