Since 12.8RC1, we introduced the section Delete in the Display category of the administration.
In this section, a single “Can skip the recycle bin” setting is proposed to the administrator.
This setting is only useful when the recycle bin is activated (otherwise, their is nothing to skip )
To improve the user experience for the administrator, I propose to hide this setting when the recycle bin is not activated.
Choice 1: hiding the field
When the recycle bin is not activated, the field is simply not display.
Since this is currently the only field of the section, that implies to hide the section too.
Pros:
- Lighter interface
Cons:
- Administrator cannot discover this setting without first activating the recycle bin
Choice 2: disabling the field
The field is still displayed, but the select field is disabled, and an additional text in bold is displayed, explaining why the setting is disabled.
Pros:
- shorter hint
- More explicit
Cons:
- The setting is displayed but the administrator cannot act on it
Feel free to propose alternative design.
WDYT?
