TOPIC: The download icons could be a little clearer

The download icons could be a little clearer 04 May 2009 18:15 #843

The first time i used the program i didnt realise that the icons shown on the Bible Study detail page were the actual download links. I now like the subtle approach but it might catch people out.

Suggestion:
Put the sermon header information in a table with two columns. The left column is wide and has all the non-download stuff. The right column is real narrow and has a small header saying 'Downloads' or 'Files' or something. Then in that column, one under another, is the icons for the files. It may be nice to show the description of those icons as well but that would tend to make the column wider than it needs to be.

Alternatively, the icons could still be shown where they are presently only placed inside a table of sorts. The icons could be one on top of another as described with a description of what the icon is.

Eg:
Files available for download
[Icon1]: MP3 File
[Icon2]: Powerpoint File
[Icon3]: MS Word Document

Actually, that reminds me of one other thing which i shall include here because i have already made too many posts It would be nice to be able to describe what the file contains. I can probably do that already now i think about... in a generic sort of way. Occasionally (not often though) we end up with the same icon for multiple files which can make it difficult to know which file has what in. Anyhow, here is what i mean:

Files available for download
[Icon1]: MP3 File - Sermon
[Icon1]: MP3 File - Song by Mrs Bell
[Icon1]: MP3 File - Testimony by Mr Strong
[Icon2]: Powerpoint File - Sermon outline
[Icon3]: MS Word Document - Sermon notes
[Icon3]: MS Word Document - Survey that Pastor Disaster would you like you to complete and return
[Icon4]: PDF Document - Newsletter that Pastor referenced during the message
