Spacing Issues on Office Homepages

[Nat Katin-Borland]

Take a look at the attached screenshot from UX2. You can see 3 different spacing issues on the office homepages. The Global Staff Calendar portlet doesn't have a lot of space between events, while just below it, Network News items have lots of space. On UX1 the spacing for both portlets is pretty much the same. It would be good add a bit more padding between between events on the Global Staff Cal and drop the More button down a bit.

Then if you look at the OSF Events portlet on the right hand side you'll see that the date is still smashed up against the event title. This was reported for the Global Staff Cal already, but it doesn't seem to have been applied to the other events portlets.

Finally, In the center column portlets the "More" links differ depending on the portlet. It might look better to just make all the More buttons say simply "More" to match the Global Staff Calendar. This isn't really a bug, I just think it would look cleaner.

Looks like I can't manage to have the OSF events in my own setup, can someone give me access to a deployment where it has some events or send me the html markup of the page?

[blaflamme (blaise-laflamme)]

Anyone saw my latest comment? I actually have no clue on what the markup looks like :(

Blaise, I think I sent (in another ticket) how to setup the Global Calendar. I will resend the email.

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

Blaise, let me know if you don't expect to close this by end of Sunday. In general, the intranet home page probably needs a step-back and re-thinking on font sizes, button use, line spacing, etc.

fixed spacing for events in right column. Paul you are right, we probably need to rethink that page a bit, lets open a new ticket for this job.

I am not sure what is fixed committed. If it is the spacing on the right then it does appear fixed, but Nat had made a comment to change the different "More" buttons to say just "More". Also the footer in FF is wrapping the names of the offices where IE and Chrome don't. See Screenshot.

Let's confine this bug to just what's in the title...spacing issues.

For the rest of the ideas on that page, let's wait and let OSF propose something more comprehensive.

tested and looks good.

[Nat Katin-Borland (nborland)]

I think the main thing to shoot for is consistency. I definitely want the more links just to say "More", so that it's uniform across all the portlets. As far as the footer goes, I'm not sure I see a difference between IE8 and Chrome...

[Paul Everitt (paul-agendaless)]

I want that as well. Of course, I want several other things on the Intranet home page. But that's become part of a different process, and so I propose that we just wrap up the bug that's in the title. Other work we can decide on once we get unstuck regarding UX2 and the intranet home page, overall.
