Done in Mahara 18.10 according to new proposal.
As part of the usability work that is happening, a good look at the main navigation is worth considering. The following is an initial proposal that was formulated with some things in mind:
- Navigation items should be grouped and ordered based on logical tasks, such as:
- filling in personal info
- collecting stuff
- organizing/displaying stuff
- networking with others
- settings and other "utilities" that are rarely used
- Drop down menus would be good - but we may not need them immediately. This proposal keeps the 3-level menu system as is, and just rearranges things
Proposed Structure
Levels indentation correspond to the three levels of navigation we currently have (main nav, sub nav, in page tabs).
- Home
- Profile (No more in page tabs)
- About Me (encorporate existing 'General' tab into this, and the 'Personal Info' section from Resume)
- Contact Information
- Messaging (rename to Social Networking and add fields for Flickr Username, etc)
- Resume (remove the Contact Information and Personal Info sections, as they add nothing new - do the rest as in page tabs)
- Cover Letter
- Interests
- Employment & Education
- Acheivements (under this go certs/accreds/awards, books/pubs, prof memberships)
- Goals & Skills (can be factored back out to sub nav items if they don't make sense as part of resume)
- My Portfolio
- My Views
- My Files
- My Blog
- Network
- Groups (here, instead of in page tabs as a third level of navigation, we could have a 2-level javascripty filter, indicated here by indentation levels)
- All Groups (simple, non-filterable search box provided here)
- My Groups (when this filter is chosen, the second filter level appears - by default nothing in the second level is selected and the results are not filtered further)
- Groups I own
- Groups I'm In
- Pending Memberships
- Friends
- Find Friends
- My Friends
- Pending Friends
- Groups (here, instead of in page tabs as a third level of navigation, we could have a 2-level javascripty filter, indicated here by indentation levels)
- Inbox
- Settings
- My Account
- Profile Icons
- Notifications
- Institution Membership
- Portfolio Export
