gone since the rollback

Greg Kan

poll not showing up in thread on creation

Greg Kan

should be fixed now :)

Richard D. Bartlett

Micro bug: I notice today there are a bunch of missing spaces in the app. E.g. on the Inbox, there should be a space between "2 replies" and "2 unread". Also in the sidebar, there should be a space between the group name and the number of notifications. Currently looks like: Loomio Community(4).

Richard D. Bartlett

Not a bug, but some missing information.

I made a poll, and got a lot of responses. In this case it would be very useful to be able to see who were the two people that selected "I would like to lead the organising work."

Currently I can only find that info by scrolling through 27 responses.

Maybe it would be nice if I could click on the number "2" and it would expand with the names of the voters.

Robert Guthrie

we're missing the green and orange blocks from timepoll! For you @Greg Kan ?

Robert Guthrie

actually another neat concept exists here: https://larsjung.de/pagemap/

The thing is, we only know a few thing about the thread when the page is loaded. the number of depth 1 items. We fetch pinned items and draw them on, and we'll fetch unread items soon too.

Otherwise we just load enough items around your viewport so that if you scroll like most people do, it seems like everything is there most of the time.

Robert Guthrie

Yea... it keeps growing until the minimum px between pinned items is met. There is a bug so that it does not resize initially, but I'll fix that.

If you space out your pins, the timeline will resize again.

I think the way I look at it is, your thread was completely unusable before.. now it's fairly accessible. It looks like there is corrupt data at the beginning that might need to be fixed one day.

Very soon I'll be highlighting unread sections on the timeline with orange blocks.. that's fairly certain and close.

It's also easy to imagine a future where we are placing author avatars on the left with reply author heads cascading to the right. Same for proposal icons etc

Matthew Bartlett

Ooh so it does! Now very tall — perhaps appropriate to this four-year-long discussion — though feels odd

Robert Guthrie

Thanks for naming it. goes straight into the list of things we'll work out how to fix then fix.

Here's the thinking on this:

You cant just add http:// to links that don't have it. the main protocol these days is https, but we don't know if that's right.

So the user really does need to specify the protocol part of the component... we can't reliably guess it.

In this case, we'll need to add https:// to any link that does not already contain //, but confirm that with the user when they press ok.

We should also add link previews, they're fairly standard these days and add some fun.

Luke Flegg

Do we have something about embedding URLs?

Every single time I create a link by selecting text, clicking the URL button and typing the URL

I have to manually type
http://
at the beginning

which is just a bit annoying and feels uncessary, but if I don't do it, Loomio breaks my link by adding an odd prefix to it

david rayner

excuse me...gets straight talking engaged...i was referring to the sporadic lack of keyboard navigation. as per above...

lol, actually the lack of a lack but then further down the page after being to the bottom and coming back up searching for the new comment (hey, it's a friday night!), the lack came and 'click'went and came back and 'click'went...about the time your reply notification came through? (i eventually noticed...how about a dinky ping?)

hmmm...not really that much of a problem with the finish line in sight...or is programming ever really finished?🐎

Robert Guthrie

I enjoyed reading your comment, but I have no idea what it means.

david rayner

seems to flow at all times now...did u give infinity a stern talking to?

good chap...also thanks for calling my refusal to upgrade... sophisticated.

💾🗿

Robert Guthrie

Did you discover how to pin it open if you want?

david rayner

it is good in loomio 2 that cntrl+click to open in another tab works does not activate the link in both tabs as it seemed to with v.1. that may just a sidebar thang. and the sidebar closing every screen change has cured me of my habit of leaving it open....

david rayner

the usual home, end, pg up down and arrow keys...this relatively minor effect sporadically occurs when using the mouse scroll as well. meaning the focus disappears for any scrolling without a click...🤔

Robert Guthrie

The casual but sophisticated look.

This kind of behaviour is a side affect of the infinite scrolling system I've built, I suppose. I've not put any thought into this aspect of it, I've always used a trackpad or mouse, but want to ensure we have good keyboard support.

How does one scroll with a physical keyboard? Which keys do you use?

david rayner

is it a mobile program assumption that means when i stop scrolling with my physical keyboard ( i dont use touch screens for loomio...) that the focus ceases after a very short time and requires a click with the mouse? it has been this way for a while and it is...starting...to...get...to ...me.

🙀might just be when it is loading...i am using a pc with 8.1 and latest FF and i am wearing a skivvie and trackpants.

Greg Kan

this is fixed now @Luke Flegg !

Robert Guthrie

I am typing the keys you can see, but I'm suffixing it with your favourite signoff, cmd + enter.

edit: I've had to roll it back.. normal enter was broken. I'll look again tomorrow morning.

Luke Flegg

in fact you can see my (empty) line at the bottom of that ^ comment! I ALWAYS use Ctrl + Enter. I use it on Wrike, Facebook, Twitter and loads of other web apps that support it

Luke Flegg

Ctrl + Enter (when writing a comment on a thread) POSTs the comment (yay) but also adds a line break! (bum clouds.)

Luke Flegg

omg life is so good. and it's enabled by default
and voters can add options
and it counts votes up as a total, Toodle pip Doodle

Robert Guthrie

I'm confused Luke! The above comment is about the timeline.... and loomio does support 'if need be'

Luke Flegg

I would use this instead of Doodle if it allowed 'If need be' - this is an essential feature for me because there are often dates which are much less convenient (but still doable, if need be) which people (including me) will just mark themselves as 'not available' for because it's incredibly annoying and unfair if a date is picked that is super inconvenient for half the group, when there's another date that is much better for the group (or indeed, could have more of us in attendance if they had the option to mark If need be)

Robert Guthrie

I think I might remove the dragging function and just allow clicks.

david rayner

it is definitely alive and requires a firm touch/mouse click...will give more of a go after my meeting...🙏

Robert Guthrie

@Matthew Bartlett It's live now. I think you should give it a spin

Robert Guthrie

Thanks for the feedback and bug reports @david rayner and @Matthew Bartlett. Appreciated!

Here's a reward - a sneek peek of the best Loomio 2.0 feature nobody knows about yet

david rayner

searching for old proposal for the previous issue made me miss the 'decisions' menu item as they are not as obvious as they used be...hmmm

maybe an icon to mark which threads contain a poll/proposal/tally?

🗿

david rayner

when i viewed notification history for a proposal, all the dates for notifications were for when the proposal was started.

Even the reminder notification i recently sent out; 6 days later...

other proposals i have checked seem to be the same i.e. only date being the start date.

Matthew Bartlett

This emoji looks like this when I choose it:

Matthew Bartlett

This modal should open with the focus on the link field:

Greg Kan

fixed (missing helptext). N.B. this modal only shows up the first time you try to pin a thread

Matthew Bartlett

Kinda weird modal. Do we need a modal for this minor action? Or if we have one, it would be good to have some text like "Pinning a thread keeps it at the top of your group's thread list. You can use it to help keep your group's attention on what's important right now."

Matthew Bartlett

I'm in a thread, and I can't figure out how to see who has access to it. I have a feeling I invited an extra person, not in this group, to it.

Robert Guthrie

members search is now obvious, and the whole group page is much better for it. thanks for your feedback in making this

Robert Guthrie

Your suffering will not be for nothing! The next few updates will address this.

Joachim Jacob

Owwwww - could have saved me tons of time if I'd seen it.

I propose to put it somewhere more close. Perhaps next to the "invite" button?

Robert Guthrie

Did you notice that there is a search function? I'm worried the magnifying icon is not in a useful place.

Joachim Jacob

Hi, we have a very large group. In Firefox, I am searching one user, in the tab 'Members'. The page loads only a fraction of the users, then I need to click 'Load more'. Then some more are loaded, but the user is still not in the list... So I continue. After a while, it seems to me that clicking "Load more" does not lead to more users being shown on the page, even though the 'Load more' button is still present. A solution would be to provide a search field to quickly find a user. (need to remove someone). Managing the users is quite important for us. (but perhaps I am doing something wrong, or missed som essentials)
