Create UI

This is how the UI looks now.

  • Content is edited straight on your regular page, no forms and no weird admin UIs
  • Publish and Delete buttons initiate workflows configured to the system
  • Images can be added via drag-and-drop
  • Edit is a state that enables all areas that have been configured editable, and also includes the Add buttons to listings
  • Add slides in a new item, based on how the listing looks like

Create UI on MeeGo netbook

And this screenshot comes from Midgard Create running on my MeeGo Netbook

Installation could be slightly smoother, though:

  • MeeGo PHP packages don’t come with PEAR
  • MeeGo Midgard packages didn’t install SQLite GDA provider by default
  • MeeGo PHP packages didn’t have pcntl (needed php-process for that)

Anyway, cool stuff!
