@kimisgold is there much that can be done about the odd ways that item title words are broken up in tablet size responsiveness?
Seems that all words shift well with 2 people across (phone screen size), but it's the tablet size with 5 people across where the weird breaks occur.
On the About page for the site the first item, Maps, is missing a bullet point.
@kimisgold can you help us to figure out what is happening?
This is an example of an mp4, that has no thumb in the public theme, that also doesn't play in the browser.
http://dev.omeka.org/mallhistory/items/show/262
But, the file is viewable and plays in dev.omeka.org/admin/files/show/331
I've run image derivative plugin again on video files and that doesn't seem to correct the problem.
Any idea what might be happening?
Can we move the page number nav to the bottom of the pages?
@sheilabrennan, @mlbest, @mebrett,
I completely reorganized the map to try to resolve a number of issues. Please revisit it and let me know if you find this to be an improvement on the whole, or I'll roll it back to the old version.
@kimisgold Would it be possible to change the narrow oval cameo thumbnails for people to rectangular outline that take up a little bit more of the page?
Reason: we are each finding the ovals to be too narrow and a little small, and that ovals don't quite match with the boxiness of the rest of the site design.
Also, it feels like there is a lot of white space in between each thumb.
@kimisgold Event-sort-date item type metadata field for Events should be hidden.
@kimisgold do you need any info from us on that?
Rather than using multiple icons, could we use one that denotes sharing with social networks via Add This and then gives user choices?
@kimisgold
On /explorations/show/ pages, the tags displayed under
"Explore other questions about…" heading are still going to exhibits/browse?tags=commerce+%26+trade and not to explorations/browse?tags=...
as a result, users clicking on the tags are sent to a 404.
When using the dropdown to jump to an era in the event browse page, the dropdown stays open even when you click outside of it. You have to actively click back in the dropdown to tell it to go away, which is unlike any dropdown I've interacted with in the past.
@kimisgold can you increase the font size of Discover heading in the orange box to be larger than the section headings inside and/or style it in another way so that it is a little more prominent on the page.
Since it at 18 and the sections in the box are 24, and it looks a little lost.
@kimisgold we realized today that we have no good place for users to tweet at us, or send Instagrams w/a specific hashtag for us to track.
What would you suggest? Could we add another div above the current footer, but below main content, that includes symbols that link to our SM pages, & a hashtag?
Issues you may have addressed on your local copy, but want to be sure:
@kimisgold Can you add alt tags for the NEH, RRCHNM, and Histories of the National Mall logos? Then we will be all validated by W3.
Can we add in dates of birth and death for the mobile display for people items. Thanks!
@kimisgold Can the header of items/browse for people read People?
I committed that change in the theme, but realized that it might be overridden when you push your dev version next.
Can the back arrow button, when selecting a filter, be more prominent?
Available in the Select Filters header block, or by graying out the other map nav (similar to how it works when clicking an item pinned to the map and the other nav is not accessible).
@kimisgold Can the heading on exhibit/show pages be the exhibit title instead of the page title?

Most obvious on phone, but I don't think the search needs to appear at the top above the nav, probably could go below.
The sound clip item of Marion Anderson singing within the "Was the mall Ever Segregated" Exploration is covering the written content.
This is true both in mobile view and on the computer.
When you're in a non-historic layer view of the map, there is a home button on the bottom left corner of the screen. However, once you activate a historic map layer, that home button is underneath the button to toggle the historic map layer on and off.
If you go back to era: none, you can see the home button, and users can always use the back button in their browser (if they have one), so it doesn't completely interfere with function, it's just a bit odd because you can see the layer of the buttons.
Add in Date for event items on mobile display.
If possible it could be helpful if search results had thumbnail images. This could help people decide what is best for what they are looking for, especially for he more abstract items that are about ideas or movements.
@kimisgold Can we use images for smaller screen and then a text & logo version for full view desktops?
@sharonmleon Can we get away with the RRCHNM & NEH logos in the footer rather than the standard text footer for smaller screens?
@kimisgold
Would like to add some text in the blue header box on the /map page to more explicitly direct users to the map and item filters.
I'm up for your suggestions for the other ways to accomplish this.
Sample text, "Find historical maps" or "Browse by time" with an arrow or something pointing to the settings icon.
@kimisgold Scavenger hunts are loading slowly, seems to be b/c all of the media is loaded on the page at once.
Could we make each image and piece of audio/video it's own page? Users would then advance to the next page once they've listened or read.
We can help in the exhibit builder admin but wanted to check with you about design of pages, and your thoughts on over usability.
They feel very large, especially on a phone. Can those be reduced in size?
Megan and I tested the maps outside and Pre-1800 as well as 1866-1889 were both too dark in the sunlight to be useful.
@kimisgold Go back to all Question about National Mall & Explore other Questions about ... are trying to find the /stories pathway.
Past events are currently grouped by coverage era, but within that I'm not sure how they're sorting - I think it might be useful if within the eras they went chronologically (even if that means making an invisible sort field or three).
Can exhibit descriptions appear on the exhibits/show pages?
Now they are not visible
@kimisgold
Seems unnecessary to show it as nav header text in menu dropdown once users already in the site.
@kimisgold Item titles also need to link to item/show. Currently, only thumbnail links to item.
@kimisgold have you added the full standard RRCHNM footer for larger screens?
@kimisgold have you had a chance to try other background images for People block on homepage?
