Inform user of known long-term export problems for specific languages #2890
Comments
Conclusion after the discussion:
|
Most problems are caused by the xhtml2pdf library right? @PeterNerlich @MizukiTemma Do you think something like this could be useful? |
@david-venhoff |
I'd have to see it in action to be able to say if it's confusing for users or not...bcs I cannot imagine right now what it looks like |
how is table of content then generated/visualised and how is the formatting? Is there a chance to generate the whole munich app as pdf as an example? We use the print to pdf feature in the entitlement card project but i am not convincend that it is a suitable choice here. Do we only use this Browser-Printed-PDFs for RTL or all languages? |
The browser-printed-PDF is only thought for RTL languages (So I understood). I guess we have to implement our own function to produce table of content for browser-printed-PDF, and probably this will have such difficulties like xhtml2pdf repository 🤔 |
Motivation
The export for a few languages (including but not limited to right-to-left languages, see #2020/#2021/#2022/#2385, #2870 as well as #1498) is defective and will not be able to be fixed anytime soon for technical reasons. This might pose a pitfall for users of the system, who should generally be able to expect the system to either work as intended or be fixed in due time.
Proposed Solution
Add a notice when the user is about to export a page to a language where problems are known (that won't be resolved any time soon). Optionally decline to complete the action altogether.
Alternatives
User Story
As a user, I prefer to be notified of problem areas within the system beforehand so I can work around them to finding out something went wrong after the fact.
Additional Context
It is to be discussed with the service team whether this desirable and to be implemented.
Design Requirements
Proposed to take the form of simple warning messages within the existing message system, which would not require additional design.
