Features
Categories Tracking Toggle places a toggle button on each category on the categories page, which allows users to quickly toggle between “mute” and “normal” tracking states. It is particularly useful for sites that use the mute all categories by default site setting.
Is it also gonna work on latest stable or on test-passed only?
We had some requests from long time members how to mute certain categories which are for example made for beginners. They weren’t aware of the bell feature.
Thanks for the component, @awesomerobot
If I select 5 under mute level and change the mute icon to a relevant one will that work to toggle between normal and watched?
Yes, this is somewhat expected. This component basically adds the functionality, but may need additional CSS to fit into the layout properly with other themes and components.
It’s highly dependent on the theme, so I can’t really say for sure!
The component works with the default unthemed category page styles by default, so I guess themes that have changed positioning on the categories page could need some adjustment.
This sounds good, though I can’t see it in the preview.
Are there plans to allow all five watching/tracking levels to be chosen via the categories page? That would implement the idea proposed by @alehandrof here:
@Jonathan5: To see the theme in preview you have to navigate to yoursite.com/categories?preview_theme_id=xx (whatever xx is for you – I think it changes).
@awesomerobot: On my site, the bell overlaps the “unread” indicator:
Is there any chance to support other states, apart from just toggling on/off?
Also, when I press on mute right now, the category disappears with no indication of how to get it back from the same page. That doesn’t like ideal UX.
Edit #1: Regarding my last point: the categories only disappear if the user had no muted categories when the page first loaded. If the user did, there’s a “Muted categories” section at the bottom of the page, listing all muted categories. But if the user did not, that section is not available and any newly muted categories just disappear.
Edit #2: It looks like trying to switch between normal/watching (as opposed to the default mute/normal) doesn’t work. The component still mutes categories.
J’ai récemment utilisé votre thème avec le thème « Modern Category + Group boxes » et le bouton de bascule a disparu. Pouvez-vous vérifier et ajuster en conséquence ?
Bonjour, ce composant a l’air vraiment cool mais il présente malheureusement quelques problèmes (3.2.0.beta4-dev).
Parfois, l’icône chevauche la catégorie suivante si sa hauteur est petite.
Elle s’affichera également par-dessus le texte « x non lus », « y nouveaux » signalant de nouveaux messages ou sujets.
Le téléchargement d’images ne fonctionne pas, je ne peux donc pas fournir de captures d’écran, désolé.
