Originally opened as https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-UI/issues/24


Related to #1631 (functional implementation)

Sketch3 file - http://cl.ly/V3cW

There are a couple of components to this:

  1. Bootstrap style popover which appears on hover - this should be the default style for all popovers
  2. Dynamic input with variables, I totally stole this from SquareSpace, so it's worth having a look at how their implementation works

Looks great. But what is the advantage of the short (%t) over the long (%title) form?

It's... you know... shorter?

I'm not sure if that's an actual advantage. We are talking about a setting that very few users will ever want to change more than once, the time lost by spelling the variables out is negligible. On the other hand, the meaning of %c isn't exactly obvious, but the meaning of %tag is.

IMO, this is a one-time experience for most people. They'll configure their permalinks just one time, so there should be no learning curve, and gaining the understanding that %t = title and %c = tag doesn't give them any advantage in future, except in the cases where people are setting up multiple blogs.

Although succinctness is usually preferable, in this case I believe it detracts from, rather than adds to the user experience.

I also think we need to consider messaging the fact that changing this is dangerous.

I don't overly disagree, but we're not there yet. This issue simply covers creating the base UI component.

Does this still need to be open?

I don't think so :) We have #1631 for the functional side of this.
