    +1 for me -- big time. I still end up at the "View" screen (which I never want) periodically and it’s muy annoying.

    Just yesterday, I spend a half-hour editing some stuff on the "View" screen in 0.9.6 only to find there was no "Save" button.

      It is easy because you only click a tab, you can access content textarea.

      look here.

        Hi,

        ---

        I think usability would be improved if clicking on a resource took you straight to EDIT. The information on the View Resource data page could be given in tabs on the edit page.

        What do people reckon?

        I agree.

        In the meantime you could use a workaround I found in another thread (can’t remember which one).

        Make a new plugin named Redirect2edit:
        // redirect if action is 3 to action 27 (edit)
        // Turn on OnManagerPageInit in Manager Access Events
        
        if($_GET['a'] == '3'){
            $nurl = 'index.php?id='.$_GET['id'].'&a=27';
            header("Location: $nurl");
            exit;
        }

          That’s happened to me too, but again, I can’t reproduce it deliberately.

          I’ll also add my support to changing the default behaviour when clicking on an resource name.

          Maybe, this ticket is it, Jira.

              I like wordpress style.
              Switching between html and rich-text editor.
              I like the idea of having an RTE tab and an auto-updating-without-having-to-save-first-as-you-go Source tab.

              On the subject of splitting up Content from the TVs it drives me crazy personally. A quick flick of the scroll wheel or pg dn key is much faster than finding a small mouse target and having to click. That said for those that like that layout, you can certainly achieve it with ManagerManager.

                Just read this post above. Is there a discussion about this somewhere? I’d be keen to contribute.

                There is now. I just split the improvements discussion out to a new topic, so I can start posting a lot of "Please open a ticket for this in JIRA" messages more easily. tongue
