Description

Two related issues with latest JavaScript Ajax plugin install/activate. Install button should change color and alert message should update user. The current method on desktop is confusing as the user is not prominently updated on the status of an action. On mobile, using my Nexus 5x, clicking the plugin install button results in a scroll to the top of the view, and I have to scroll down to find the button to activate, etc.

Hey there,

Welcome to Trac and thanks for opening this ticket!

I can't reproduce the scrolling to top after installing a plugin right now. Does this happen in other browsers as well?

An alert message to inform the user about the status is very disruptive, so that's not really a solution. As for the button color, this already happens. The button changes like this:

(grey) "Install" -> (click) -> "Installing…" -> "Installed!" -> (short delay) -> (blue) "Activate"

This was made so that you can easily install a second plugin but also directly activate the new plugin if you want to do so.

  • Keywords reporter-feedback added
  • Milestone Awaiting Review deleted
  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from new to closed

I'm going to close this out due to lack of reporter feedback. @jteague if you are still able to reproduce the scrolling to top issue, feel free to reopen with more details to reproduce.
