[UI Proposal] Move template area on the same row with the trackers

[marius-balteanu]

Hi @akiko-pusu,

I really like your plugin and I want to propose some small UI changes as following:

1. move template area block on the same row with the Tracker dropdown
2. show only icons for the actions instead on icons + text
3. rename Issue template to Template

Some reasons behind this proposals:

• The templates are very related to trackers.
• I find it a little bit disturbing for the eye how the fields (eg: subject, description) from the upper part of the issue form layout moves up/down depending on the tracker (if it has or not templates) .
• Save some space in the form layout.

Please let me know what do you think about these changes. I can make a PR (I've some working code) if you're interested.

Hi, @marius-balteanu
Thank you so much for your proposal!
(Also, personally thank you very much for your contribution to Redmine.)

I think above proposal is so nice. Pull request for UI change is welcomed!
(Of course, I am in charge of modifying the source code related to test / spec.)

BTW, please let me confirm.

3. rename Issue template to Template

Is it only the display name (label name) change?
The name of controllers, models, and so on are not changed?

Sorry for my late response and PR.

3. Yes, is just the label name, no other changes.

Thanks for your PR, #153. I’ve confirmed that it works fine.

One thing worried about is that, it may be difficult to imagine what happens when someone who is not used to Redmine and Issue template, is clicking the icon.

Save some space in the form layout.

I agree partially, but I personally think that labels or texts are necessary to explain what kind of action will happen to the user. Especially, for some update / modify actions. (Such as Revert, Erase)
So, I’d like to make tooltip pop-up when user hovers the mouse over the icon.

I created new branch including your commit, (via cherry-pick) named gh/issue-160.
You can see all the change sets at #166, pull request to develop branch.

Also, I created demo site with using Cloud9 instance.
Could you please try and review the behavior from here:

• https://redmine-issue-templates-akiko-pusu.c9users.io/projects/sample-project/issues/new

Anonymous user can create new issue with using Issue Template.
How about?

@marius-balteanu I'm sorry to keep on hold so long.
Personally, I’d like to apply this style with optional setting.

Thanks to a little difference on view template, I might be able to implement the feature to switch normal style and this minimal style :)

@marius-balteanu
I'm going to apply for this style!
