Sliding tiles preferences UI

Added by Andrew Petro, last edited by Andrew Petro on Dec 01, 2004

Sliding tiles as an alternative to crosshair-targets for integrated preferences UI.

What MUN has done:

We've eliminated the airplane targets:

<!-- inside match focusedTab: -->
<xsl:param name="next-id-left">
 <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::*[position()=count(.)]/@ID" />
</xsl:param>

<xsl:param name="next-id-right">
 <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::*[position()=2]/@ID" />
</xsl:param>

<!-- move tab left -->
<a class="uportal-channel-table-row-even"
href="{$baseActionURL}?uP_request_move_targets={@ID}&amp;uP_move_target={@ID}&amp;uP_sparam=mode&amp;mode=preferences&amp;uP_sparam=selectedID&amp;selectedID=&amp;uP_sparam=focusedTabID&amp;focusedTabID={@ID}&amp;uP_sparam=targetRestriction&amp;targetRestriction=no
targetRestriction parameter&amp;uP_sparam=targetAction&amp;targetAction=no
targetAction
parameter&amp;targetNextID={$next-id-left}&amp;targetParentID=userLayoutRootNode&amp;uP_cancel_targets=true">Move
Left</a>

<!-- move tab right -->
<a class="uportal-channel-table-row-even"
href="{$baseActionURL}?uP_request_move_targets={@ID}&amp;uP_move_target={@ID}&amp;uP_sparam=mode&amp;mode=preferences&amp;uP_sparam=selectedID&amp;selectedID=&amp;uP_sparam=focusedTabID&amp;focusedTabID={@ID}&amp;uP_sparam=targetRestriction&amp;targetRestriction=no
targetRestriction parameter&amp;uP_sparam=targetAction&amp;targetAction=no
targetAction
parameter&amp;targetNextID={$next-id-right}&amp;targetParentID=userLayoutRootNode&amp;uP_cancel_targets=true">Move
Right</a>

I'd definitely be interested in collaborating with others in the development of a "sliding tiles" approach to user preferences. I've already done a lot
of work in this area and our implementation is in production. If anyone's interested in seeing what we did, I can send you a demo account password offline.
