Description Owen Leonard 2016-06-17 18:14:57 UTC
I hear some libraries do use it, so why not bring the printers administration page up to date? I have a patch to add DataTables, Font awesome icons, and plugin-validated forms.

In case it helps with testing:

INSERT INTO `printers` (`printername`, `printqueue`, `printtype`) VALUES
('Printer 01', 'print_queue_01', 'type01'),
('Printer 02', 'print_queue_02', 'type02'),
('Printer 03', 'print_queue_03', 'type03'),
('Printer 04', 'print_queue_04', 'type04'),
('Printer 05', 'print_queue_05', 'type05'),
('Printer 06', 'print_queue_06', 'type06'),
('Printer 07', 'print_queue_07', 'type07'),
('Printer 08', 'print_queue_08', 'type08'),
('Printer 09', 'print_queue_09', 'type09'),
('Printer 10', 'print_queue_10', 'type10'),
('Printer 11', 'print_queue_11', 'type11'),
('Printer 12', 'print_queue_12', 'type12'),
('Printer 13', 'print_queue_13', 'type13'),

Yes but it is in discussion and does no longer apply. What do you suggest?

Since this is a purely cosmetic change, I would appreciate if we held off on it for bug 8352. I haven't had time to get back to that one recently, but I'm still pursuing it. The blocker on it is getting the needed Perl libs packaged for Debian. I really need s For Dummies version of getting libraries packaged, but alas, there is none ; )

Bug 16764 - Update printers administration page

This patch updates the template for printers administration according to
current interface guidelines.

- Custom JavaScript form validation is removed in favor of the built-in
  form validation plugin.
- Printer-specific header search form is removed, along with server-side
  pagination code. The functionality of both is now taken care of the
  adding DataTables sorting and pagination to the table.
- Edit and delete links are styled as Boostrap buttons with Font Awesome
  icons.
- Confirmation dialogs are updated to use Font Awesome icons.

To test properly you will need to add multiple printers.

- Apply the patch and open /cgi-bin/koha/admin/printers.pl (there is no
  menu link for the page).
- When no printers exist you should see a message dialog saying so.
- Add a new printer. Confirm that printer name and queue are required
  fields.
- After adding multiple printers, confirm that the table of printers is
  correctly sorted and searched by the DataTables plugin.
- Delete a printer and verify that the confirmation dialog is correctly
  styled.

I'd like to put this back in the queue since Bug 8352 has been idle for so long.
