Squid Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Today I'm releasing a beta / release candidate of a new GUI for Community Applications (thanks to @jonp and @Mex) Since this is a complete overhaul of the GUI, I need to get feedback / bugs / UX experience etc prior to actually releasing this. Please (please) try and break it, let me know of any issues, display aberrations etc. Outside of the GUI changes, the other notable changes are Enable Reinstall Default is now renamed to Install 2nd Instance, and it will automatically rename the app to make things easier when doing this Help Text is completely gone, because it's just not needed at all with this GUI (I hope) This release does require Unraid 6.9.0+ in order to work. More features are being added in the coming weeks, but it's time to get the user base's opinions and issues on this. Translations for the new text aren't available yet, so running in a language other than English will work but you will also see English present in spots. To install, first uninstall Community Applications. Then within Plugins - Install Plugin, paste in the following URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Squidly271/betaCA/main/plugins/community.applications.plg Any issues when running this should be posted in this thread, not the general CA thread. 2 Quote Link to comment
SimonF Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Installed and its working fine, is there no option to set Favorite Repo anymore? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Everything is done via the side bar. Fav repo you hit profile (if you're getting there from an app) and then favourite. EDIT: I'll add it in to the Repository section of an app's sidebar Quote Link to comment
jimmy898 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Thanks @Squid! Just started looking around ... when I switch browsing to docker hub I can't install the container or even open the info: 1 Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 5 hours ago, jimmy898 said: docker hub Thanks. I found that yesterday also. Debating whether to remove that "feature" completely, since for the last 3+ years due to a change at dockerHub it's not possible to populate the xml with anything other than the repository and you have to go to dockerHub anyways for even a remote possibility of a successful install.

ich777 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 @Squid would it be possible to get the "Recently Added", "Top Trending Apps" and "Top New Installs" back or better speaking that you've set it as starting page instead of showing all? For me it was a super cool way selecting "Recently Added" and look from time to time in there if anything new/useful apps where added. 1 Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 They're there on the home page. Displays however many fit in a single row (maximum 25), with an option to show more. The only startup page that's now gone is "updated", since it was basically meaningless and heavily skewed towards plugins since those are the only ones which have to be flagged as an update. Very rarely did any template maintainers for docker apps ever flag the templates as being updated (especially since the major contributors all have builds done automatically whenever updates are available) Quote Link to comment
ich777 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 @Squid oh... didn't know that... Was a cool feature but if it's not a thing anymore... One recommendation would be to hide "Sort By" when the user is for example on the page "Recently Added" because it becomes basically a list of apps sorted by name: Quote Link to comment

(They should all show no sort order highlighted and bring up the apps in the same order as shown on the home page) Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Assuming that you're up to date, this looks like it may be a race condition. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

They work all properly and no this is not a race condition because the apps are properly displayed by date when you click on recently added, but why would I need to sort the apps like name when I'm in recently added? Makes no sense to me, but that's only my opinion... Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 You're misunderstanding. They should be sorted by Date Added when you click Show More under recently added. But, if I'm misunderstanding the sort orders are there to give you the option to resort the displayed apps by however you choose. (Or put another way, "Show More" is nothing but a shortcut to the "All Apps" category with a sort order preselected.) EDIT: I've added hide sorting options when using Show More onto the todo list 1 Quote Link to comment
neruve Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I will gladly test this out too. One question before I install. Does this beta version get updated when you push changes? Quote Link to comment
neruve Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Alright, looks good so far. Since this is still in development. Can you add the option to show more than 12. 25, 50 would be nice. (If there are that many) maybe make it save as a preference. Quote Link to comment
Alex.b Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Project Page info isn't available anymore with the beta ? It's a feature I like for following development. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 If there are not multiple entries for the support context, then it simply changes to the name of the one entry with no menu Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 Today's release is hopefully the start of the RC series. Quote Link to comment
ChaseCares Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Great work! I think it looks really nice, definitely a huge improvement. A couple things I've noticed. Bug: The search/clear button is vertically offset from the search bar If you click search with no text the loading animation plays for a few seconds and it does nothing If you click on a Docker that is already installed, click actions then close, the actions menu stays open Opinion: Having the search bar on the left is unusual, since most things place it either in the middle or the right (I prefer right) I would like the close button to be in the top right of the right hand popup I would like to popup to be larger, maybe 15% (I do have a 1440P monitor though) I don't think the popup should cover the banner (minor) Feature request If you search for a Docker that you already have installed, and multiple are available, give some visual indicator of the one currently installed I would also like to give you a huge thank you for all the work that goes into CA, I really appreciate it.

Chase I agree with the 3 of the above opinions: Search should be on the right hand side, Close should also be on the right and side of pop-ups Pop-ups should not cover the banner.

Alex.b Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 If you set width to 1921 px (and more), left column doesn't have margin : Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Thx. Everything is done at 1920 and tested up to 5120 but I also run the unlimited width plugin Quote Link to comment

Very vwey minor, but tagging @bonienl on it. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Beta series is now over. Uninstall the beta CA, and reinstall the production version. Beta series will not receive any further updates. 1 Quote Link to comment
