David,
no problem at all with a deeper review of my patches, it is understandable.
BTW the matter was discussed here
http://markmail.org/message/cs3lvoc3puzofbhu#query:ofbiz%20Here%20are%20the%20layout%20best%20practices%20discussed%20so%20far%3A+page:1+mid:zhtzes3f4tiqlai2+state:results
and it did seem to me that the majority of us agreed on that.
Since we had the FindDecoratorScreen that was written just in order to have
all the find screens look similar, I thought that the best contribution was
to have the template find screens (the one in the example application)
changed first and that gradually all the others.
If you guys think that having initially the list empty is better we could
make it configurable like proposed by Adrian. But I suggest to have a GLOBAL
property to control this so that we have all the UI on an installation
consistent.
Now I have seen that Adrian has started writing a new confluence page that
will summarize all the agreed Layout guidelines in order to have them simply
accessible, thank you Adrian. I think we really need this.
While browsing the thread about the Layout best practices I came across some
other points that were discussed. I would like to remind them to all so the
final decision could be taken and added in the Layout guidelines Confluence
page.
They were:
1) - A Skip menu to access several part of the screen directly
2) - An help button/icon link. Should we have it always located the same
place?
Many thanks,
-Bruno
