Description David Cook 2020-06-17 04:27:44 UTC
Datatables on z3950_search.pl will say "Showing 1 to 20 of 20 entries", which makes you think that there are only 20 search results.

However, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll often see it saying something like "Showing page 1 of 501".

We should hide the "Showing 1 to 20 of 20 entries" datatables information if we're not going to implement a JSON sourced table.

Comment 2 Jonathan Druart 2020-06-17 12:12:44 UTC
Should be fixed on other Z3950 search pages as well.

I would also remove the search box as it only filter on the first page.

Mmm I was wondering about that. Fixed this one a bit too hastily. I'll re-visit it.

Yes I did! I was planning on working on it yesterday but I think the Library of Congress was down. If it's up today I will work on it

Bug 25777: Disable misleading datatables table information display z3950

This patch disables the table information display on z3950_search.pl,
since it only includes search result counts for that page, which is
misleading to end users.

To test:
1) Do not apply the patch
2) Do a Z39.50 search for "test" against Library of Congress
3) Note the bottom of the page says "Show 1 to 20 of 20" and
"Showing page 1 of 501"
4) Apply the patch and restart Plack
5) Repeat Step #2
6) Note the bottom of the page now only says "Showing page 1 of 501"
7) Note the search bar is gone

Bug 25777: (follow-up) Make the same configuration change to Z39.50 search in Acquisitions

To test, apply the patch and go to Acquisitions -> Vendor -> Basket ->
Add to basket -> From external source. Perform a Z39.50 search and check
that the DataTable of results doesn't have a search filter or number of
results information at the top.

Two very small patches. But not the same ;)

Bug 25777: (QA follow-up) Correct option: paging

The correct upgrade from the old "bPaginate" option is "paging"
Comment 18 Katrin Fischer 2021-02-07 13:02:58 UTC
Sorry for asking again, but should not both spots be changed to use "paging" now?

Both are valid at this time. This may change later in a future DataTables upgrade. I chose to change it in my patch because I was touching that part of the template anyway.

Without an established rule that these options should be updated I don't think it should be a QA failure.

When patches of even two lines are inconsistent..

Patches squashed, syntax updated to be consistent between the two files, QA scripts passing, tests passing, manual testing proves it works as expected.
