GreysonWulffe Posted September 16, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 16, 2022 The site-generated text at the bottom of the post can be rather confusing. They are of the default text size, so they are usually the same text size as the rest of the post. They follow the text of the post immediately, so they look like part of the post. To illustrate, this is an example of how it might look like if I edited a post: Edited Post Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis pharetra vestibulum porttitor. Integer placerat, metus a mattis blandit, ligula felis aliquam felis, at tincidunt sem libero ac nulla. Ut eget justo a nulla rutrum scelerisque. Nullam iaculis odio vel ipsum auctor lacinia vitae sed ante. Ut ut vulputate leo. Quisque a quam nisi. Sed ut vehicula erat. Integer volutpat eu dolor vel viverra. Suspendisse sollicitudin hendrerit odio nec convallis. Edited some time ago by GreysonWulffe My suggestion is to introduce some separation between the text of the post and the site-generated text at the bottom. This might make the overall aesthetic tidier and more organized, certainly easier to understand at a glance. To illustrate, this is how I'm imagining an edited post might look like: Edited Post Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis pharetra vestibulum porttitor. Integer placerat, metus a mattis blandit, ligula felis aliquam felis, at tincidunt sem libero ac nulla. Ut eget justo a nulla rutrum scelerisque. Nullam iaculis odio vel ipsum auctor lacinia vitae sed ante. Ut ut vulputate leo. Quisque a quam nisi. Sed ut vehicula erat. Integer volutpat eu dolor vel viverra. Suspendisse sollicitudin hendrerit odio nec convallis.

bwatford Posted September 16, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 16, 2022 This is something that is outside the ability of the CSS style sheets @Eric This change would need to happen in two templates: core > front > global commentEditLine contentEditLine it is a simple enough change, but it would need to be done in a plugin as to not alter the templates directly.

Eric Posted September 16, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 16, 2022 Sounds like something for the mweditor plugin, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami1768 Posted September 16, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) yes, we just need 1 alert saying the post has been edited. not 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom of our post. People are going to Edit, this is a given, we dont need to be yelled at when we do 🤣 having it at the top, IMO, is the best place, Posted September 16 - Edited September 16 by Tsunami1768 (reason.....) bam, i know i read from the top to the bottom, lol.. jk 🤪🤣😁 Edited September 16, 2022 by Tsunami1768 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butchern Posted September 17, 2022 Clone Share Posted September 17, 2022 I would also recommend that the edit notice be much smaller than it currently is (on the default style). Tiny and as unobtrusive as is practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlotDevice Posted November 21, 2022 Clone Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) At the risk of getting yelled at for necro-ing, I have this same concern, so bumping rather than opening a new thread. Could we get the edit notice moved to the header or footer? As Tsunami1768 says, in the header next to the posted date makes the most sense.

Eric Posted December 23, 2022 Clone Share Posted December 23, 2022 Top will not fit on mobile, so it will stay on the bottom. I've made the change to the MW default style to see how it looks; feedback appreciated @PlotDevice @Butchern @Tsunami1768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki Stumpy Posted December 23, 2022 Clone Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hmm. The image in your post above @Eric is showing just as a pulsing square with a file name visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butchern Posted December 23, 2022 Clone Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I think the edit notice is still too big, too eye-catching, too close to the post content, and too bold. In PlotDevice's post two posts up, the edit notice with the edit reason takes up almost as much space as the actual post and is far more bold and eye-catching. There is already edit information in the mouse-over. If I had my wish, I'd push all the edit info (editor, time, date, and reason) into the mouse-over pop-up and just have a as-tiny-as-is-readable "Edited" at the very bottom of the post.

I'm not going to settle on mouseover being a solution because it doesn't support mobile. However, I am curious: what mouseover are you speaking of that contains "edit information"? The only mouseover I see is the one that provides the actual datetime for the relative-time "x days/hours ago". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
