Jacques Le Roux updated OFBIZ-3442: ----------------------------------- Component/s: (was: ALL COMPONENTS) ALL APPLICATIONS Description: Following Sascha Rodekamp's work on layer lookups OFBIZ-3374 and improvements OFBIZ-3430, I propose now to replace old the popup lookups by layered (Ajaxified) lookups. For that please find a patch attached. In this patch I followed a simple S/R tactic: * I replaced all occurences of LookupDecorator by LookupLayerPopupDecorator in screens * I replaced all occurences of <lookup by <lookup presentation="layer" position="center" It's as simple as this. For the moment I decided to use as default position="center" because it's was the easiest (sure that any lookups will be out of the screen). I think we will refine this by removing position="center" and use the default (position="normal") which does not move the layer from the point it's called and will be more aesthetic. I did not test anything in OFBIz OOTB for the moment, but I already use layered lookups in a custom application without any issues so far. The only drawback I found for the moment is when a lookup is called from a lookup. If you are aware of such cases please chime in. Of course everybody is encouraged to test this improvement as much as possible. I really think it's a very cool feature for users, and they will appreciate. There are still some ideas like that (see the link Sasca referred to in OFBIZ-3374), and we will try to implement them. There are issues to be fixed prior to a commit, see OFBIZ-3446. was: Following Sascha Rodekamp's work on layer lookups OFBIZ-3374 and improvements OFBIZ-3430, I propose now to replace old the popup lookups by layered (Ajaxified) lookups.
