Navigation issues with web frontend

Post by coderanger » Sat Feb 20, 2010 2:57 am

Vault Version 5.03

When using the web browser front end to browse the repository I have noticed a couple of issues and suggestions:
  • The Navigation Gets Stuck: Browse into a project file history and you cant get back out without clicking on a different project. Clicking the same project to get back to a project file list doesnt work, you stay looking at the file history. Suggest this is fixed, but also make each element of the "$/Project/Project/MyFile.cpp" 'cookie-crumb-trail' at the top of the history list clickable so you can go back through the tree that way.
  • Constant Redraw: Clicking a project in the tree refreshes the entire page which is unnecessary, annoying and slow. If I have a long project list, it scrolls the list right to the top each time. Dont understand why, just to make the selected project item bold i suppose. Suggest using DOM to change the text weight rather than redraw the entire page.
Unfortunately I cannot tinker with the web code as its not available which is a shame ... perhaps if you did release the web code then we could help improve it for you.

Anyway, thanks for listening.

Thanks for your comments.

We have Work Item 13051 logged for better navigation on our SourceCode Control web pages. I've added your "vote."

In the meantime, clicking the browser "Back" button or Backspace can take you back in your browsing history.
