----------------------------------------
jap Jacques good point. We should do it!
> 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.
