Improvements for the participatory texts module

Avatar: Ariadna Vila Ariadna Vila

Lately I’ve been working with the participatory texts module and so I’ve found some improvements that we could make to the modul. 

1) To add an option to download the final text once it has been amended and modified. 

This should be done from the back office. The file must maintain paragraphs and separations, regardless of the sections into which the text is divided. 

2) When importing a text, the draft or edition section is confusing. 

One way to improve this is to not make it mandatory to add a title in every section in which the text is divided. 

On the public view of the text, a title won’t be displayed if there’s no title; at this time a default number is displayed as title if there's no text. 

3) Disable the possibility of amending when “accepted”

If the option to provide “response” (accept, reject) is enabled, and the admin “accepts” one section of the text (after the amendment process), it should no longer be possible to amend that part of the text as it is considered to be finished.

4) Remove the obligation to amend the title. 

When someone wants to add an amendment or when the admin wants to edit the text from the back office, It’s always have to change the title, even if you don’t want to. 

I think that these changes can improve a lot the use of the participatory texts module. What do you think?

@Ariadna_VA we are a addressing your input in our project to improve the participatory texts-module.

@1: For export of results we plan to provide an option to export the original text with comments, amendments in text-format (.doc), in order to make it easier to visualize the whole process and inputs. Details are still being elaborated, our idea is that we make the process transparent and provide a file that helps to continue working with the inputs. Main goal is not to export a "final text", but rather a file with all the inputs as basis for further discussion.

@2: text import: we plan to integrate an additional editor field in the admin interface with an explanation on how to format the text. Admins can decide by clicking a checkbox, whether they want the original import via document-upload or the new option via editor. Editor makes text-import much easier.

@4 We will provide (also via checkbox) the possibility to hide the title in the frontend-view. When working on frontend-improvements we saw that the title is often confusing when working on a flowing text.

Concerning the option of integrating "new paragraphs" (actually new proposals) into the text as also suggested by @Nil_Homedes we are still considering the consequences. But probably such suggestions need to be made as comments. @arusa
