Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3442: ---------------------------------------- I see, If we could pass a parameter like it's done for parameters.ajaxLookup then we could handle that locally with fail-widget. I'd prefer to have only one decorator as they are almost the same. For instance a block was recentlu added by Erwan at r897843 and miss in the new layer decorator. BTW I believe there is still an issue with ajaxLookup when the lookup is called from an FTL file. We could fix the 2 in a single shoot... > Replace popup lookups by layer lookups > -------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-3442 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3442 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: ALL APPLICATIONS > Reporter: Jacques Le Roux > Assignee: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > Attachments: lookup.htm, OFBIZ-3442 replace popup lookups by layered > lookups.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
