Re: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] browser client update for 2014-04-11
Aesthetically I liked the old grids but looking at these I think they will be superior in terms of function. The adjusting the column width works fairly intuitively and cleanly, which will be very important on the smaller displays.

After login, go to Patron Search and perform a search. The search results are using the new grid. https://bill-dev2.esilibrary.com/eg/staff/login?ws=BR1-jupiter user=admin pass=demo123 Note that in the patron search grid, only some columns are sortable (appear as links), because those are the only columns that are sortable in the server API for this particular interface. In these cases, where we want to have access to lots of columns, but only some of them are sortable on the server, we still have the option of performing local (visible data) sorting. Blending local and server-side sorting could get confusing, though, so we'll need to carefully consider how to handle that. -b On Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 10:01 AM, McCanna, Terran tmcca...@georgialibraries.org wrote: Thanks, Bill!

And just a reminder for those who did not read the dev update, the column moving and resizing drag-n-drop controls are not yet functioning in Firefox. -b -- Bill Erickson | Senior Software Developer | phone: 877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ber...@esilibrary.com | web: http://esilibrary.com | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts

I'm unable to login with the default browser, but I was able to log in fine with the Firefox app (I'm using a Galaxy Note II running Android 4.3). The number of columns doesn't display well, but once I hid some of them it worked well. Sorting and selecting/unselecting work great, even copy and paste work well (and since it uses different visual cues than the desktop browser for displaying what you have selected to copy, it was easy to see the difference there). The only thing that caused me a problem while viewing on my phone was that the status bar at the bottom cut off the bottom 2 rows of my patron search results.
