The discussion topic is Edit profile access button!. hamdictn wants to edit the user experience by switching the order of the profile access and notification buttons when clicking on the profile picture. Moin suggests using CSS to rearrange the buttons. hamdictn applies the CSS but notes that the notification tab is still active even after switching the order.
Jagster questions what is better for user experience (UX), citing the frequency of use for notifications vs. preferences. hamdictn argues that it depends on the situation, while Jagster counters that guessing the user’s intention is not a good approach.
Lilly suggests creating a theme component to load the profile tab by default instead of the notifications tab, providing a link to a relevant meta thread for reference.
Hello, thank you again for your previous help.
But I would like to edit something that I see as negative in terms of user experience, if there is a way to do it.
As in the picture below, when the user clicks on the profile picture, notifications are displayed first. Instead, the button to access the profile and the notification button should be switched or we should be able to sort it as we want. Is there a way to do this?
You can rearrange those buttons with css.
To put the profile button at the top you can add
.bottom-tabs.tabs-list{
order: 1;
}
.top-tabs.tabs-list{
order: 2;
}
to the common css section of your theme
Thanks, the location has changed, but when I click on the profile picture, the notification tab is still active, although it is at the top.
Just another thing to consider. Which one is more frequently used by an user
That dictates what is good UX and what is… less UX.
@Jagster I think this is debatable.
When a person receives a notification, when they click on their profile picture, the notifications screen pops up. Clicking on the profile picture when there is nothing going on can open the profile tab directly.
Why? Why would that be better choise than drafts, bookmarks etc.? We don’t follow such guessing with any other menus, like hamburger. Why shoud this be different? When we don’t know, and that’s true quite often, we have only two options:
And root is the most easiest to achieve.
