-------------------------------------------------
Summary: We should replace select boxes with jQuery replacements
like Select2 and Chosen
Key: CLOUDSTACK-8430
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-8430
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: UI
Affects Versions: Future
Reporter: Ramamurti Subramanian
I recently encountered an environment with more than 4000 projects, making it
really hard to navigate through them using the default select box.
We can improve the UX by using jQuery plugins like
select2(https://select2.github.io/) and
chosen(http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/).
They have nice features that we could use like searching, tagging, remote data
sets and infinite scrolling.
I would personally recommend select2 as it has better features than chosen, but
it requires jQuery 1.7.2 and CloudStack uses jQuery 1.6.4.
It can be used as a replacement to any select box in CloudStack which has lots
of options.
