JungleDragon user display modes »

FERDY CHRISTANT - JUN 9, 2010 (01:07:44 PM)

Last week I spent an entire week of leave on JungleDragon development. This week I will be sharing the progress in little bits and pieces. This week's 3rd update is about User display modes.This update is quite similar to yesterday's update where I demonstrated tag display modes. Nevertheless, here is how it works...

JungleDragon has a dedicated page that allows users to find other users (click to enlarge):

From this page, users can browse, sort and search for users. On the right, one can see who they are following, if signed in. The users in the screenshot above are visualized as mini users, showing their avatar, name and level in the reputation system. This small display of users allows for a lot of entries on one page.

As of now, it is possible to view users in a secondary display mode: user cards. Here is the same list of users in the user card display mode:

In user card mode, more detail of a user is revealed:

  • Avatar
  • Level
  • Class
  • Username
  • Summary of age, location, gender, if filled out by that user

As with tag display modes:

  • the prefered display mode can be saved by members
  • how many entries they see per page depends on reputation
  • search supports search highlighting

All in all, JungleDragon allows users to view images, tags and users in one's preferred display mode in one consistent, accessible experience. I hope.

Tomorrow I will talk about tag history. Stay tuned!
