Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3442:
----------------------------------------
Also, though I agree with Bilgin on the defaults to use, I think I will commit
as is for now. For this 2 reasons:
# It's easy to change later with a S/R and small changes in XSD
# I'm not quite sure we should use these defaults without exchanging before
with the community. However so far, we are few to be really interested (or
simply aware), but I guess after it will be commited a lot of discussion will
occurs and maybe new ideas, etc.

> 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.
