Change the wording for the Top Bar checkbox

Created on 29 March 2024, 9 months ago
Updated 16 April 2024, 8 months ago

Problem/Motivation

The current checkbox to enable the Top Bar and the description it provides is confusing and doesn't give enough information to explain that it's an experimental feature, so the user knows what is enabling before doing so.

Steps to reproduce

Navigate to /admin/config/user-interface/navigation/settings.

Proposed resolution

Change the information so it is clear what this is enabling, and that it isn't finished and that it's experimental code.

Remaining tasks

  1. Choose how to change the text
  2. Change it

User interface changes

The text from the field to enable the top bar in the Navigation settings form will change.

    My first proposal:

    • Change the label from Hide Top Bar to Hide Experimental Top Bar
    • Change the description from The top bar is initially shown at the top of the page, click the checkbox to hide it.
      to The top bar is an experimental feature under active development that provides contextual controls.

    First, could we invert the behavior of the checkbox so Checked == On and Unchecked == Off to reduce the cognitive dissonance for the users? It feels counterintuitive to enable a checkbox to disable a feature.

    Here's my suggestion for the text:
    Label: "Hide Top Bar (experimental)"
    Description: "The Top Bar is an experimental feature that moves common administrative information and tasks on edit forms to the top of the page. This is part of a larger push to simplify and modernize the editorial interface."

    Kanchan Bhogade, seems you have to git pull from 1.x first. The errors says that there is not file NavigationTopBarTest.php to patch, however this file is exist in 1.x https://git.drupalcode.org/project/navigation/-/blob/1.x/tests/src/Funct...

    Restoring needs review

    I've successfully applied MR213 against navigation 1.x-dev, havent run in any issue unable to reproduce the error experienced in #10 ๐Ÿ“Œ Change the wording for the Top Bar checkbox Needs review .

    I really like the change to invert the checkbox suggested by @keyboardcowboy in #6 ๐Ÿ“Œ Change the wording for the Top Bar checkbox Needs review . Also adding the term experimental in parenthesis to the checkbox label is good call.
    My only nitpick is about the description, in the current suggestion the first half of the first sentence is sort of redundant to the checkbox label. "The Top Bar is an experimental feature" is more or less repeating and only slightly rephrasing "Show Top Bar (experimental)". In regards of the second sentence "This is part of a larger push to simplify and modernize the editorial interface." I am not sure if this is very helpful for the user? I wonder if it would make more sense to articulate that the top bar doesnt provide the full functionality. the term experimental in the checkbox label communicates it is far from being finished but from my perspective the second sentence should also communicate hey the top bar will be placed there but dont be surpised that it doesnt contain the full functionality yet and might not that useful to you at the moment?

    A suggestion: Provides relevant administrative information and tasks for the respective page. It is not feature complete nor fully functional.

    Added to the merge train. We can improve the wording later on but this leaves this field in a good shape for a stable release. Thanks all for the collaboration!
