Description
I am not sure if this is a bug or not. The site I am using this on has about 300 members and about 25 groups. When trying to assign a user to a group, I sometimes have to scroll to the right. The names of the groups then disappears and even if I attempt to keep a horizontal line to mark where that group is, many times I find that the horizontal scrolling doesn't sync up and I end up choosing the wrong group.
I would be good if there was a way to float the horizontal and vertical headers so that people can see the group as they scroll.
#1
That would be awesome -- userplus definitely needs work in the usability department when there are lots of users and/or groups and/or roles. There seems to be some table header magic that keeps the headings in view when scrolling vertically in Drupal 6 that I haven't yet delved into. Anyone familiar with this?
#2
I came here because I have the same issue on all three tabs. Way too wide...
I am thinking... Why not just make them a select list drop-down instead? Would be clean and require no js voodoo.
Seems simple enough, IMO this would greatly improve the usability factor.
Edit: Make that a multi select capable dropdown and it would be perfect!
The code looks like it should be easy enough but I cant seem to get the form markup right just yet.
