tab on subqueue edits parent queue: unclear UI

Issue Summary

At admin/content/nodequeue/23/view/20 there is an Edit tab.
This actually edits the parent queue -- the tab label should reflect that, or the tab should be removed, as a tab jumping you up several levels is weird navigation.

#1

I don't have the UI in front of me, but perhaps this could be put as a link in the text of that page instead?

Status:active» fixed

Taking into consideration Views' 7.x "Edit view" contextual link and the fact that tabs were designed for this kind of navigation links, I decided to simply rename the tab title to "Edit queue".

This also fits with #670282: Change all references to "nodequeue" to queue and subqueue where appropriate.

Commited attached patches to 6.x and 7.x.

#3

But if it edits the parent queue, it's still jumping you around in the navigation tree, isn't it?

#4

It is, but at least it tells you a bit more about where you're going.

#5

That's still a really weird thing for a tab to do -- tabs go one level down, they don't jump around.

#6

Well, I guess we can make an exception because there's no one level for editing subqueues? Or you *really* want that tab gone? :)
