Hi, I received some feedback on admin help. I am concerned that
there isn't enough feedback on Admin help coming in and we are going
end up posting stuff that needs more editing. I do appreciate all
the work that has gone into it but I think we need some people to
take a fresh look at it.
There is generally 2 paragraphs for 60 modules so that's really just
120 paragraphs to be read.
More feedback like the feedback that follows would be helpful. Just
post it to the list and I can do the updates. If you have editing
privileges, go ahead and make the changes to handbook directly.
Cheers,
Kieran
General Comments
1. have all the links been tested?
2. overall, i feel that there should be a title on each page. So if
I link to this page, I should clearly see that I am on the "Blocks"
page or the "Archives" page
3. This may be too much work, but each page could have a section
that says "Summary" and then one that says "???"
aggregator
redundant: newly updated news
Suggest "With the news aggregator, you can" instead of just "you can"
You mention "users" and "administrators" so when you say "they" who
are you referring to?
archive
wouldn't the "archive" page be for archiving data? Usually,if you're
looking for older data it is in the "archives" (plural)
in the aggregator, you linked to "block administration"
2nd paragraph, may want to say: To view the archive by date, select
the date...
same comments as above regarding "you can"
periods missing at the end of each bulleted item
no link to "block administration" in the "you can" section
block
in general, I find blocks a bit confusing. Maybe you could give more
orientation to them. For example: there are 2 types of blocks:
module generated abd admin defined...etc.
suggest: A Block is a box of related/grouped data that is visible in
the sidebar or your web site.
usually, the first sentence is a summary of what you are talking
about in the page. Given this, you might want to mention
"administrator defined blocks"
whats a sidebar? the navigation bar?
missing hypertext links? ie Throttle, Modules, and some of the new
terms in the bulleted list
User settings in the bulleted list: You is the administrator? If so,
please say that.
There is another ambiguous "you" reference in the "admin defined
blocks" section.
blogs
you might want to mention that people can add comments to posts
