New Feature: images on idea overview

This new feature improves the user experience of the Ideation Plugin by allowing attached images to be displayed directly on the idea cards in the overview. This visualisation makes the platform more attractive and encourages interactivity.

It also allows for alternative use cases:

  • Marketplace: Users can not only present ideas, but also offer physical objects or services, which encourages a livelier exchange.
  • Concepts: Visual concepts or proposals can be presented directly to support communication and collaboration between employees.

This feature can be easily turned on or off by editors within the general settings to offer maximum flexibility.

Improvement: Reduction of sorting options

Previously, it was possible to filter by the number of comments, even if the comments feature was disabled for an instance.

To improve the user experience, we have removed this option. From now on, you can only filter by comments if the comments feature is enabled. This makes the search results clearer and more relevant.

Bug Fixes

Excessive line breaks.

If the Enter key was used to insert a line break while entering text in the idea description, these line breaks were displayed excessively large in the user view. This has been fixed!

Default colours for status of ideas.

The default colours for the different status of an idea all had no ideal contrast in terms of accessibility. This has now been fixed. Additionally, a warning is shown if the editor selects a colour with possible bad contrast for accessibility.
