Looking for Guild roster interface improvement.

AnrDaemon · 12-16-10, 04:30 PM

What I want, is either a simple button that could switch between "Guild Status" and "Player Status" in one click, or a tab modification with
Name [Level] / Rank / Zone / Last Online
columns.
That's all information I really need from Guild tab 99% of the time.

This is not what you asked for, but my addon GuildMemberStatus
puts all that info on the member tooltip regardless of guild view you happen to have selected.

Obviously it doesn't offer facilities like sorting by x column or an overview like a list does.

I saw it (however), but I want to be able to sort by Last Online and/or to quickly switch to(between) the state containing that column.

ADD: From the addon description, it's unclear if it put Zone info into tooltip (that's what I'm missing using Guild Status view)

From the screenshot it's obvious that it does.

However as I conceded already it's not a listview, has no sorting etc.

Well, right, It's just I'm running with no images autoloading.

That's understandable.

ADD: Oh, lol, you even embedded screenshot in your post?... Shame on forum software coders, it's absolutely invisible...
Want a suggestion for improvement?
Try the following layout:

Code:

<Icon> <Name> [Level] - Rank

Zone // <Online Status>

Public note:
.........

Officer note:
.........

Skills: (You can get skills information from guild page now)
Skill1 // Level
Skill2 // Level

Alts: ..., ... (make it single line - DoubleLine with more than one-two alts will make tooltip bloat to the unreadable width)

Actually, it's probably your browser that's not showing his image - it's showing up here on IE9beta x64, Firefox, and Opera.

You probably have something that's blocking it at your end.

Actually, you didn't read my reply.
"I'm running with no images autoloading." means that this browser behaviour is fully intentional.
The fact that image is not noticeble when browser is incapable of displaying images is a completely different subject.

Yeah, sounds like bad browser design. That is one of the things I actually like about IE (one of about 2 things, actually) - that it gives the option to have image placeholders, even if you're not showing images.

Nothing to do with BROWSER.
Read standards sometimes, will ya?

Taryble · 12-18-10, 05:41 PM

If it doesn't even let you know there's an image there that's being blocked, that's bad design. Period.

Anything that blocks possible sources of information should at least let you know that there is information there and being blocked.

Screw standards, I'm talking common sense.

Standard states that image lacking Alt text is a part of decoration, and should not be exposed unless expressly asked for (i.e. when images autoloading enabled).

A bit off topic. Lets stay on track =)
