Feedback about the existing features

Three more points:

1. I think that printable version of any page shouldn't be centered (it's strange to read that).
2. There is no meta descripion and meta keywords, hmm ;)
3. Pagination also need some css

If I reedit my post, the modified information:

is displayed in a completely different way and place than the creation information. I think they could be closer to each other in terms of location and stylesheets.

If you read a blog there is no difference between headers with link and without link. This is a big mistake according to Web Accessibility Initiative.

It is not possible to quote if you're adding the first reply, or is it?

Actually, in most locations multiple elements carry the same color (orange) whether they are links or headers.

Let's check it out, PHP:

<?php
foreach ( $objectIdList as $objectId )
{
    $object = eZContentObject::fetch( $objectId );
    var_dump( $object );
}

And templates:

{def $object=''}
{foreach $object_id_list as $object_id}
    {set $object=fetch( 'content', 'object', hash( 'object_id', $object_id ) )}
    {$object|attribute( 'show', 1 )}
{/foreach}

And INI:

[ObjectSettings]
ObjectIdList[]
ObjectIdList[]=123
ObjectIdList[]=234

There's still this problem which is quite common with the new OE. When you add a code block and forget to leave an empty paragraph/line after it, you'll have no way of putting it in there... Or at least I don't know how to cope with it ;)

Search form disappears in multiple locations and that's not very good, I would expect it to be available at all times...

Also, the on-hover social bookmarking tool is very annoying, especially being on the way to the key forum buttons. I'd move it to the right or make it show the dialog on-click instead of on-hover.

Another issue: in the list of forum topics, the sticky ones should be very distinct and easily separable from standard topics. Right now it is quite difficult to tell one group from the other.

• the 'vote' icon says on forum replies says 'thanks' when you vote, but it does not increase immediately the vote count shown
• why have separate mechanism for 'vote' (for post replies) and 'rating' (for posts)? it makes it slightly hard to understand what they're used for...

I was waiting for the launch of the new community portal which was announced long ago, and unfortunately I need to say I am disappointed by the features it currently offers, compared to what there was already on the ez.no forums.

I immediately see some good small approvements, like the inline WYSIWYG editor. That's a plus.

As Gaetano mentions before, it is not very clear what the voting system is intended for. I assume this is supposed to give certain people better karma when they post useful replies. However, the people directory does not seem to work at all at this moment, so it's difficult to see how that is supposed to work. Also, I even can not find my own user profile when searching for it (advanced search, class user).

Search might be using ezfind but the layout of the results is horrible imho and not usable to distinguish the results properly.

Rating might be handy to find more useful threads when searching, but there is no option to sort by rating when searching.

The user info at the right does not link to the user's profile in the people directory. No voting info is displayed there either, although this can be a better indicator than the number of posts.

And to repeat what Bruce already mentioned in a tweet: there was very less open communication with the whole community about the progress and roadmap of the website that is intented to be their future home.

Waiting for more to come... Hopefully it won't take another half a year ;)

some questions:
Whats up here http://share.ez.no/ with the two infoboxes, none of then seem to work. Latest forum activity never seems to change, and best rated forum topics is not listing according to rating.

Also the tag cloud is inactive

and.. while this forum seems to behave normally http://share.ez.no/forums/feedback-and-ideas-for-this-portal

look at the dates on the replies here http://share.ez.no/forums/install-configuration - something is fishy. I guess something has gone wrong with the importing?

also... it seems the necessary redirecting for ez template code lookup hasnt been implemented in the docs server

My 50¢ worth :)
