Make accessible layout available on group, institution, and site pages (not just personal pages)

[Kristina Hoeppner]

In Mahara 19.10 we introduced the new grid layout and have an accessible layout option available that allows the screenreader to use it without drag and drop. This accessible layout option is currently available on personal pages, but not group, institution, and site pages.

The accessible layout option also needs to be available in the other areas.

Proposal:

Scenario 1:

Paula has her preferences set to use an accessible layout. When she creates a group page, the page is automatically created in an accessible layout. She can though overrule that option in the "Advanced" options of the page.

Petra is a fellow group member who has the permission to edit group pages. When she edits the page that Paula created, the page continues to be in the accessible layout. She can use drag and drop to place blocks onto the page, but the blocks are full-width, i.e. instead of clicking the "Add" button, she can drag and drop, but the rest of the page layout stays accessible with full-width blocks.

Scenario 2:

Petra creates a group page in a normal layout, ignoring the "Accessible layout" option in the page settings.

Paula, who has accessibility options turned on, sees a modal when she goes into edit mode of the group page alerting her to the fact that the page was not created in an accessible layout and that blocks can be not full width.

When she places blocks onto the page, the "Add" button is clickable (rather than drag and drop) and puts a full-width block onto the page either at the start or the bottom as she determines.

Petra can change the width of the block when she edits the page.

Are these scenarios doable? Scenario 2 would also be one for template pages when a person with accessibility option set to "Yes" edits a template page.

Question for Scenario 1 - what happens when Paula edits a page created by Petra in 'normal' mode?

[Kristina Hoeppner (kris-hoeppner)]

That's scenario 2 :-)

Ah I see! I was viewing these as an 'either or' proposal, but I see they are two different perspectives of the same scenario.

Changing the default width of block is handled in bug #1952143
