Related Items Feature

[Justin Wagner]

Team,

I have all but completed the "Related Items" feature which will display items that are related in the same language.  I just need some formatting/display advice.

See the attached screenshot which is the Counterpart View Controller for the "I am a Child of God" in the Childrens-EN collection.

With this new feature we now need a way to differentiate between which collection the items originate from (i.e. whether its in the hymnbook or in the children's songbook), otherwise they would have the same name and only the number would be different.

I've come up with a prototype of what I want it to look like, but I'm not super ecstatic about the way it looks.  Basically I have just appended a " - Hymns" onto the language name field to get the point out there. But I won't to know what you guys think would look better.

So please tell me (through a picture if possible) how you would place and style the "Collection Type" data inside each of the displayed cells in the "Related" and "Other Languages" section.

Also, if you think that the layout should be different for each section, please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks in advance,

Justin

It would be nice if we could somehow group by language, so that you didn't have to repeat the language name for each button. It's hard to quickly find the song you want. Putting the big header for each language would be to much (the type of header that says, for example, "Other Languages"), but maybe there's something else that could be done...

Some other ways we could play around with it would be to try some of these:

Spanish - Himnos

Spanish: Himnos

Spanish • Himnos

Spanish (Himnos)

Himnos (Spanish)

I'm noticing the list isn't sorted by anything – I guess it should be alphabetical by language name, then by collection type?
