Hi!
After our discussions on the second dev meeting and Registration redesign: feedback on the registration form update and ideas for improvements - #5 by CharpentierLucas , I started a pull request to avoid regressing on the usability of the registration form.
Before we merge it, we need to answer two questions:
- What should be the default look of the registration form?
1.a. With first and last name as high priority fields
1.b. With first and last name as low priority fields
2. Is it okay to remove the first and last name fields completely from the form when the parameter is at “low priority”?
2.a. Yes, have a shorter form than what used to be.
2.b. No, keep them at the end of the form.
The solution chosen in the pull request is to have a switch in the admin parameter to allow using the old type of form (with first and last name at the start - “high priority” setting) OR the new type of form (“low priority” setting).
For reference, here is what the form looked like before 16.10 and with the “high priority” setting (default if we pick 1.a.):
Here is the look when the first/last names are “low priority” AND we decided to remove them (2.a.):
Here is the look when the first/last names are “low priority” AND we decided to keep them (2.b.):
My personal opinion is that we should enforce the new form organization by default (1.b.) and that it’s completely okay to remove the first and last names instead of having them in a “useless” place in the form (2.a. ).
Any and all feedback on this topic is welcome!
Looking forward to your answers and help on these two questions!
