Re: Re: Uploading Images

posts: 1563 Germany

Hello Unclegeo,

I did test the upload on a wikipage and I did count seven clicks in Tiki - we cannout count any clicks on the computer or work that has to be done in a grafical software like scaling down.
And optional parameters shouldn't be counted aswell.

Just compare the job to upload an image in the appropriate format and size to the system and insert it to a content-page at once (being in the content-edit mode).

A possible 8th click would arise, if users want to choose a specific file gallery for the upload.

If you are not shure, that your users can cope with too many options, you as webdeveloper/admin can give the users the appropriate permissions, that they only see, what they need.

Aswell you can limit the visible file galleries by using groups, categories and category permissions.

I did test on Tiki7 and Tiki9 and I have to admit, that in Tiki7 the dialogue is missing an important information, which is given as a logically named link in the Tiki9 I tested.

So the dialogue in 7 is not really clear enough for a non-techie user and the user would need some more explanation.

In Tiki9 (the next LTS version becoming a stable release about in April) it seems, that this is sorted, even as the dialogue is pretty much the same - just the "missing link" is added ;-) .

I think I should do some kind of a little HowTo or maybe a little screencast to demonstrate this.
Planned such thing anyway, but I am still looking for the appropriate software.

I hope you feel comfortable with the reasonable chance to get more userfriendlyness in uploading images from wikipages after an upgrade to Tiki9.

Please feel free to test this on demo.tiki.org/9.x and report your thoughts, questions and suggestions.
