Make a link to page with all organizations more visible

Created on 19 April 2024, 9 months ago

Problem/Motivation

After redesign of the https://www.drupal.org/drupal-services β†’ page, the sidebar is no longer present and the link to the page with all organizations ( https://www.drupal.org/organizations β†’ ) is placed just as a plain text under the pagination. I think this placement is out of reach for regular visitors, meaning it will not be possible to find the organizations page anymore.

Can we place the link to organizations page back to the main menu, or at least move it somewhere else, where it will be more accessible? These organizations contribute to Drupal as well and now are hidden.

Steps to reproduce

Drupal.org visitors are no longer able to find a link to page with all organizations ( https://www.drupal.org/organizations β†’ ) after redesign.

Proposed resolution

Add the link back to the main menu, or find another location where it will be more visible.

    I guess it should be added to the menu somewhere. Also, the link in the block could have "link-button" class or similar to make it stand out a bit more.

    The "link-button" class fix would look like this:

    That seems like a nice easy "fix" that might mostly satisfy everyone.

    Though I know others will want it higher up the page (like the sidebar it was in before) and/or in the menu somewhere.

    If there are no other options for highlighting the link, it would be great if we could do at least what was proposed by @fjgarlin in #4. Thanks!

    Agree that would at least make it more obvious

    I implemented the suggestion in my dev copy for review: https://fjgarlin-drupal.dev.devdrupal.org/drupal-services (use your favourite cms in both the username and password in lowercase πŸ˜‰)

    I used "action-button" class instead of "link-button" to keep the font size consistent.

    The body in "/admin/structure/block/manage/block/42/configure" is:

    While the Drupal Association assists clients to evaluate Drupal Certified Partners via Drupal.org and other means, the selection of a Drupal Certified Partner and any subsequent contractual relationship is at the client’s sole discretion.
    
    <a href="/contribution-credit/weights">How are Drupal Certified Partner ranks determined?</a><br>
    <a class="action-button" href="/organizations">All organizations on Drupal.org</a>

    That looks good to me. I wonder if there’s any way to get them to also put it in the top text near the filters… i.e. both top and bottom. Would you try that to see if it looks okay?

  • πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈSpain fjgarlin

    I did it via editing the html in-page. Not sure if that would defeat the goal of prioritizing DCPs over non-DCPs, but that's not my call to make really.

    See the mock (maybe too many green buttons):

    I like it there but agree a different color is probably good (in both places).

    Marking RTBC because I think this is enough for the DA to move forward with.

    +1 for me as well, also took me a bit longer as I expected to find the link the first time after I landed on that page.

  • πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡°Slovakia poker10

    +1 to RTBC. It would be great if we can get the button on both places (top + bottom), but if not, even the change for the link on the bottom will make a difference.

    Note that the fix is in #8 and it needs to be done via editing the block through the UI.

    Thanks folks! As @fjgarlin mentioned - part of de-emphasizing the all organizations view was to further emphasize the service providers who are part of the DCP program. The integrity and magnitude of the reward for being both project and financial contributors is important

    ... but of course - the all organizations view doesn't just show service providers, it also shows end-users and a variety of other types of organizations.

    There's good reason for people to want to be able to see how those types of organizations are contributing, to evaluate potential employers, or to find providers in countries that don't have any DCPs.

    Navigating that isn't necessarily difficult but it is delicate - so I may need to regroup with some of the board stakeholders involved in managing the DCP program and with some of the other leadership folks on the DA side.

    Either of the proposals above (a more prominent button/link - or - a placement in the main menu somewhere) might work - just want to make sure everyone who has put thought into that program has thought it through and weighed in.

    I'll report back.
