Description Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2022-10-28 08:39:25 UTC

With the staff client refresh I've had a nagging feeling about the breadcrumbs appearing above the sidebar navs.. it feels a bit messy but I hadn't come up with a better solution.

I wonder about shifting the sidebar so it goes all the way to just under the top header and shift the breadcrumbs to the right... a bit like gitlab?

Mockup of bibliographic detail page

I don't think this works. I think our pages are too varied in structure to use Gitlab as an example--different sidebars, different toolbars, etc. Even with an added border, as I did in the mockup, I think it's too jumbled. IMO.

Comment 3 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2022-11-01 14:53:17 UTC

I agree to some extent... we'd need a more formal idea of what a sidebar should contain.. we jumble a lot of extra content into it at times and that certainly does lead to it looking weird.. we're also not consistent in when we actually have a sidebar at all.

One to keep in the 'ideas' pile for now I think... though I'd love to still see us slowly progress towards it.

I agree with Owen that it looks a bit too jumbled and we have a lot of pages without the sidebars, so it would 'jump' around quite a bit. From a user's perspective I think it's nice to have it always 'anchored' to the very same spot that I can easily focus on. I think the breadcrumbs could be considered part of the header, not part of main.
