Improved Interface ·
By: JT
We're going to improve the performance of the administrative interface. There are a lot of CSS, Javascript, and image files used to support the admin interface of WebGUI. By making some changes to how the admin interface looks and works, we can make it much faster, and use less resources on the network and server. These screens are examples of what the new interface may look like.
NOTE: This is an 8.0 feature, and definitely will not be entirely included in 7.x series. However, you will see parts of it appearing in 7.x, such as an improved asset manager and a new New Content menu.
Admin Mode
The site would probably be displayed in a pane within the interface. So the interface itself isn't redrawn on each pageview, but rather just the page itself.
Editing An Asset
Editing an asset would keep you in the same interface, but would just pop you over to an editing tab, allowing you to easily switch back and forth between edit and view without losing your place.
Asset Manager
The asset manager could be just another tab in the same interface.
