MIDLMR: http://SoCalLinuxExpo.Org/scale%7B1..999%7Dx/schedule/%7Bfriday,saturday,sun... needs to expand full-window and scroll more easily
1. MIEOXN: A HEADS-UP:* just today this all was fixed & fixed well*(thanks, cool!), my bet in response to my email to chair Ilan on this which cite here; for full details, see the end of this for "MIEOFD: ..UPDATE". 2. MIDN63: *This is fairly important to fix *as the present situation would seemingly make it difficult & sometimes impossible for every attendee and reviewer to read the schedule. 3. MIDLU5: This is what Sat 11:37pm I first wrote to SCALE11x chair Ilan trying to figure out where to send this suggestion, quote: 1. MICQ6H: I want to suggest that http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/schedule/friday (plus other day displays) expand to the full window width rather then being a constrained max width (about 1070px) as it's already hard enough to see with the underlying table's understandable wide width. 1. MICQB8: I've been exploring in-browser CSS style edits a user might do to fix this until your webmaster does so but so far I've not found a single 1-line edit. 4. MIDLVL: At Sun 1:51am he replied suggesting I post to this list scale-planning (why I post here) and saying "We agree the scrolling on that page could be improved and would be happy to have some feedback.". 5. MIDMD3: Also left-right scrolling is not obvious 1. MIDMFU: especially because the vertical content is fully expanded (so that vertical scroller displayed but inactive) so the horizontal scroller is lost down at the bottom of the table. 2. MIDMKO: An easy fix is to put highlighted just above the table say "To scroll table, click-and-hold within a displayed table cell then drag the desired direction (left,right,up,or down) so scrolling as part of making an extended selection. In Chrome, *down* doesn't work so for that use the window vertical scroll bar.". Similar to having a "hand" icon to scroll, this kind of scrolling is pretty handy once one has gotten used to it,. 3. MIDMXS: Also, when & as possible, put the horizontal scroll bar at the top instead of the bottom. 4. MIDN3I: Also, when & as possible, insure all scrollers (veritical & especially horizontal) always visible, as they are with a spreadsheet. 6. MIDNDY: Very cool & proper that this table appears to be a pivot table automatically generated from underlining event entries. 1. MIDNF1: just make it display well (fully plus good scrolling) 1. MIDNGI: http://google.com/search?q=Drupal+pivot+table might find implementations which solve this 7. MIDM1Y: I hope the web coders will fix these (for the fixed width, that might require a different theme (I loath fixed-with themes) else a theme-override on this page). 1. MIDM9J: If that isn't fast, then perhaps someone can come up with a portable Greasemonkey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey script so users can . 8. MIEOFD: =pst2013.02.17Sun2350: UPDATE,* all the above appears fixed -yeah!* 1. MIEOH7: specifically, looking at say http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale11x/schedule/saturday 1. MIEOK3: the theme/page is no longer max-widthed but expands to my full window 2. MIEOKY: Indeed the page itself properly expands larger than my window, so the scrollers for just the table have disappeared, leaving just the browser's scrollers, which is much better! 3. MIEONV: The padding around the table looks like it has been properly reduced. 2. MIEOPH: In short, more work but then *even better than what I proposed above! * 3. MIEOQI: So since this happened since Ilan responded to this at 1:51am,* I take it he followed up on my suggestion? :-) Else if not me, what triggered this change? How did it come about? And who did it? * 4. MIEOWK: *Thanks for the great & super fast fix!*
