Filters layout 09 Sep 2013 15:57 #11032

Hi,
the filters layout is not user-friendly at all and it surely could be improved a lot, I'm also sure the Admin already knows the filters layout really needs to be fixed.

let's analize how the filters in the list view are generated.
Assuming I have configured labels for each filter item, this is the result of the builder configuration:


this is what it's generated (sandbox j3):




in details:
  1. Price
  2. Length
  3. Year
  4. Class
  5. Hull
  6. Keyword
  7. Order by
  8. Order direction
  9. Items per page
  10. Make
  11. Model
I would also underline there is like a "double" icon (one over another) on the search icon, due to a little css bug, labels are missing. and the labels for the search text are used as placeholder (at the time of this post, there is a little bug and the search text filter is not generated correctly, that's why "- model -" is repeated).


this is what I would expect by default from the generated component:



this is what it should be in my opinion:



The "items per page" should be rendered near the pagination, at the bottom of the page, the order direction could be just an icon. in the builder I would like to configure separately:
  • Label
  • placeholder for the input text field / the null value in the select list

I also would suggest to have the possibility to add more filter bricks, so it could be possible split long list of filters between the bricks to keep a clean layout.
This is just my opinion any other opinion is very welcome.

  I still don't believe he can really be human to do all this ! From all of the forums that I've ever participated in this is certainly the one that most encapsulates the feeling of being truly open source where everyone's opinions and contributions can and will shape the development of the service! It's truly awesome! Hope you enjoy cooking and look forward to reading and contributing to any of the editorial work that you proposed too!! Thanks
