The discussion revolves around the UX of having two separate pages for logo settings in a forum’s admin panel: “All site settings” and “Site Logo.” alltiagocom questions why these pages exist separately, noting that the “Site Logo” page lacks features like the X/Twitter option found in “Branding,” suggesting redundancy and unnecessary complexity. Arkshine explains that “All site settings” is a comprehensive view, while “Site Logo” is designed for streamlined branding adjustments, such as updating multiple logos simultaneously. awesomerobot adds that this setup is temporary, part of a transition from legacy to a new admin experience, which will eventually eliminate such duplication. alltiagocom acknowledges the clarification and expresses support for a unified, improved experience, while Arkshine notes that the missing X/Twitter option in the “Site Logo” page might be intentional or awaiting updates.
I’m working on the images for my forum and I noticed that there are 2 pages for this, each with some unique settings and descriptions. For example in Branding there’s a place for X/Twitter, but in Site Logo, there isn’t.
Why not redirecting this:
to this page instead?
/admin/site_settings/category/branding
The All site settings represents all the individual settings.
The Site Logo page is dedicated to making it easier to configure your branding logo. (I believe there is work in progress regarding it).
For example, if you update the primary logo, the individual Logo, Digest logo, and Mobile logo settings will also be updated. You can see that settings are categorized, and you have an overall better admin experience when you need to set them up.
But my question is: do these pages affect things differently on the forum? If not, then why not merge them? I don’t see the advantage of having 2 different pages that do the same thing. All those extras of updating image X and updating images Y and Z, can all be merged into a single page.
For example, if I go to Site Logo, I don’t have the X/Twitter option. So I need to go to Branding. So if I need to go to Branding to do something and all the other options from Site Logo are there, then what’s the real purpose of having Site Logo? From what I see now, there’s none. I feel like it adds complexity that doesn’t need to exist.
This is partially because we’re in-between a legacy and new admin experience — the “all site settings” page won’t exist forever as we migrate to new structures, and in the meantime there will be some duplication
Don’t know what’s coming, but I expect nothing but a good experience. If things get grouped into a single panel and things like that, I’m all for it!
Thanks for clarifying
He’s right about this. X summary large image is missing from the Site logo page. From what I see on FEATURE: rebranded admin logos settings by KrisKotlarek · Pull Request #31554 · discourse/discourse · GitHub, the translations are ready; or is it intended?
