Use "Show module descriptions" on Extend page

Created on 27 September 2015, over 8 years ago
Updated 8 May 2023, about 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

On small screen, the table on the Extend page is collapsed and the module descriptions are not visible. In order to display them the user has to click on "Show all columns". This label is not very useful because users might not even know that they are looking at a table, and not just a list with tick boxes.

To hide the description, the label is even more confusing "Hide lower priority columns"

Proposed resolution

Replace the extend tab module description labels with "Show description" and "Hide descriptions"

this.showText = Drupal.t('Show all columns');
this.hideText = Drupal.t('Hide lower priority columns');

  • Usability

    Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

  • Needs issue summary update

    Issue summaries save everyone time if they are kept up-to-date. See Update issue summary task instructions.

  • Needs screenshots

    The change alters the user interface, so before and after screenshots should be added to document the UI change. Make sure to capture the relevant region only. Use a tool such as Aviary on Windows or Skitch on Mac OS X.

  • Needs usability review

    Used to alert the usability topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the usability of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. When adding this tag, make it easy to review the issue. Make sure the issue summary describes the problem and the proposed solution. Screenshots usually help a lot! To get sign-off on issues with the "Needs usability review" tag, post about them in the #ux channel on Drupal Slack, and/or attend a UX meeting to demo the patch and get direct feedback from designers/UX folks/product management on next steps. If an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the general "user experience" of Drupal, use Needs product manager review instead. See the scope of responsibilities for product managers.
