----------------------------------
Summary: Facilitate the use of Icons in Ofbiz by adding
descriptive style to the widget-style attribute in forms
Key: OFBIZ-6516
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6516
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: ALL APPLICATIONS
Affects Versions: 14.12.01, 12.04.06, 13.07.03, Upcoming Branch
Environment: Ofbiz Web UI
Reporter: Gavin Mabie
Priority: Minor
Icons can be used to great effect to enhance both the user experience and as
well as the look-and-feel of an application. In Ofbiz this is facilitated by
using meaningful styles name in the widget-style attribute. Examples are
"buttontext create", buttontext delete/remove", "buttontext update". That
takes care of the basic CRUD actions. The widget-style attribute is used by
front-end designers (on the presentation layer) to create their own designs via
macro libraries, stylesheets and javascript files. It will be useful for
designers if widget-styles are defined in a standard way in widget definitions
(*forms.xml, *menu.xml etc). To set this process in motion I propose the
following:
1. All "buttontext" widget-style attributes should have a meaningful additional
class which describes the action linked to the button, i.e create, update,
delete, refresh - depending on the action.
2. Add missing descriptive classes like "copy, print, view, download, save" etc.
