Description Mathieu Saby 2013-04-13 14:35:56 UTC
In cataloguing/additem.pl, the header is missing : we need Koha's logo and the header search forms

Hi Mathieu, Owen told me it was by design to have more room for large item tables. I was irritated too, but I think it could make sense on this page. What do you think?
Comment 2 Mathieu Saby 2013-04-13 17:55:36 UTC
Hello Katrin
Owen's argument is interesting, but it could be applied to all pages ;-)
For example, even in Normal view, I need to scroll to see the items of some records (because I have some toolbars in my firefox, and a bottom Koha bar to change language...).
The header takes a lot of space is taken on each page.
Maybe a solution would be to reduce its height on all pages?
Or maybe to make it "sticky", so that it would always be usable even if we scroll down the page?

See capture1 : a serial record in Rennes 2 Koha ; you cannot see the items
See capture2 : the items of this serial. Even without header, you cannot see all items (more than 100...).

Regarding additem, displaying ALL the items linked to a record is sometimes not a good idea. Maybe we could display only x (10? or a value in a syspref?) items, and hide the other with CSS, with a button/link for showing more?

I don't have a solution, but I am sure this page could be improved...

See also BZ 7508 : "It would be nice if on the items detail tab in the staff client you could click a little arrow to collapse the item details so you only see the one or ones you want without having to scroll too much."

Comment 6 Owen Leonard 2013-04-14 13:16:34 UTC
The original idea behind the lack of the search header on the additem page was that the page was narrowly task-oriented and did not need the search header. I don't think this has proven to be true for most people (including me, even in my limited day-to-day use of it), so I have no objection at all to adding it.

Bug 10036 - adding header search to additem page

The add item screen lacks a header search form. This patch adds the
cataloging header search include to additem.tt.

To test, apply the patch and add items to or edit items of an existing
record. The header search form should appear with options for cataloging
search and circulation.
