Library Home - Create Content

[bradenmacdonald]

Designs: Mid-fi Figma

✅ In Scope:

1. The should be shown to users who have permission to create content in a library (i.e. they have "author" or "admin" permission on the library, or are part of a group that does).
   • If a user has only "read-only" access to a library, the NEW button should be hidden. This includes the "NEW" button in the empty state that's shown when there is no content in the library.
   • If a user has only "read-only" access to a library, they should see a small "read-only" indicator underneath the Library title.
2. Clicking on the button from the library home page (or from the empty state if there are no components in the library) will display the Add Content Drawer.
   • Note: unlike the "Tag Drawer", this is a sidebar not an overlay. So it "squishes" the page, rather than overlapping it.
3. Implement all of the buttons shown in Figma, but make "Collection" and "Advanced/Other" disabled for now. Hide "Unit" entirely.
   
4. Clicking any button (that's not disabled) should close the add drawer, and add a blank component of that type to the library. The search index should be updated synchronously as part of this operation, and any search results cached on the frontend by React-Query should be invalidated (kept for now but re-fetched in the background).

🛑 Out of Scope:
For now, there is no way to set the title, tags, description, nor content of the newly-created items. They just show up in the library.

@bradenmacdonald In the mockups they are using the existing MFE editors. I think we can link it on this story

[bradenmacdonald]

@ChrisChV OK, if it's easy to do, then sure :) But I'm not sure if they work with content in libraries.

[ChrisChV]

But I'm not sure if they work with content in libraries

Good point. I will check it

[ChrisChV]

@bradenmacdonald For now the MFE editors are using the courseId for save the new block.We need more changes to use it with content libraries. Would that be in the scope? To create a new issue?

[bradenmacdonald]

@ChrisChV The second link you showed is already using learningContextId which is great. But the problem is different, I think - you have to use a totally different API to load and save changes for v2 libraries compared to v1 courses. So the actual code for calling the API will need to be changed.

I will discuss with Jenna about which epic to include this in. For now, assume editing is out of scope for epic 1.

[jmakowski1123]

We had initially created a separate Epic for creating new content workflows (both content and tagging). Maybe it makes sense to revive those as separate epics, since it sounds like the process of using the most current text/problem/video editors is more complicated than anticipated? I'll create separate epic tickets for those two and can continue the discussion there, but agree it's a separate epic than this one.

Hi @jmakowski1123 this is ready for AC testing in https://tagging-preview.staging.do.opencraft.hosting/dashboard

[jmakowski1123]

Thanks @ChrisChV ! i've created a status for tickets - Ready for AC testing. Please can you change the status as tickets are ready, and then I will check that column regularly and test as tickets become available?

[ChrisChV]

Thanks @jmakowski1123!

@jmakowski1123 I don't have permission to move tickets in the board CC @bradenmacdonald

[jmakowski1123]

Got it, sorry about the @ChrisChV . @sarina , is there a permission we can give Chris to make it possible to change ticket statuses as an eng lead?

[sarina]

@ChrisChV added you to Triage group, so you can move tickets. Please look for your invitation in your inbox.

[ChrisChV]

@sarina Thanks! 👍

Works as expected when I have authoring permissions! @bradenmacdonald I'm trying to create a dummy account to descope permissions so I can test whether the button disappears as intended, but I don't seem to be able to access the django admin. What am I doing wrong? https://app.tagging-preview.staging.do.opencraft.hosting/admin

Hi @jmakowski1123

What am I doing wrong? https://app.tagging-preview.staging.do.opencraft.hosting/admin

This is the link to the django admin: https://tagging-preview.staging.do.opencraft.hosting/admin/

I'm trying to create a dummy account to descope permissions so I can test whether the button disappears as intended

About this. I created a dummy user:
user: [email protected]
password: 123456789

Also, I created a public read library: https://app.tagging-preview.staging.do.opencraft.hosting/course-authoring/library/lib:SampleTaxonomyOrg1:publicread

You can test that feature by logging in with the dummy user and visiting the public read library.

[jmakowski1123]

Thanks @ChrisChV ! So when I log into the public read-only library with the dummy account, two things:

1. I still see the "new button", but grayed out. It's a better user experience to not see the button at all, when I don't have permissions to do that task. Can the button disappear entirely?
2. The requirements specify a small "read-only" text indicator underneath the library title. I'm realizing that wasn't part of the UI design - it could just done in small text beneath the library title.

[bradenmacdonald]

@jmakowski1123 @ChrisChV Also, if the "New" button is hidden, the "+ Add Component" button should be hidden as well. Currently it's not even disabled (see screenshot)

[ChrisChV]

@jmakowski1123 This is the result

[ChrisChV]

@jmakowski1123 @lizc577 @sdaitzman @marcotuts This is ready for another AC testing on the sandbox

[jmakowski1123]

This looks good, thanks!

[ChrisChV]

This looks good, thanks!

@jmakowski1123 Thanks! I moved this to Done
