Additional Resources usability

[B.O.B.Johnson]

This document has grown to an extreme length (and it is only going to keep growing).

Here's my wishlist for this document and how to improve the usability:

1. On main page for Additional Resources, instead of all the entries, have it be a simple table with 2 columns: Book Name / Last Updated
Book name would be the rule book name and a link to a sub-document. Last updated would be when the entry was last updated.

2. If the user is logged in, it checks when the user last visited the main page, and compares that to the 'Last Updated' entries. If an item is newer than the last time the user visited the page, it will be highlighted in red.

3. The sub-document page for each rulebook would have whatever last change in red, followed by a dated change log which dictates what was changed and when.

That's just my wishlist for making that document more user friendly and manageable.

Edit:

4. On the main page, have the columns be able to be sorted - IE I can sort by book name ascending/descending, or sort by last updated ascending/descending.

This won't work because it is a printable PDF as well so that people can bring it to game days (and are required to)

That's not true. You can add a link that generates the PDF. Just takes a little bit of programming - especially if you make it all DB driven.
