Description Owen Leonard 2025-07-16 12:14:50 UTC
I propose that we update the patron card export process in order to avoid using a Greybox modal. We can just as easily move from page to page as the process progresses.

Bug 40412: Update the patron card export process to avoid Greybox modal

This patch updates the patron card export process to eliminate the use
of the Greybox modal, opting to move from page to page through the
process.

Tangentially related: I updated the DataTables table configuration of
the tables on the patron card batch management page and patron card
batch edit page in order to remove the DataTables "Export" button
because of the possibility that its presence might be confusing.

To test apply the patch and go to Tools -> Patron card creator.

- Create more than one batch add multiple patrons to each.
- From the patron card batches page, test the process of exporting
  patron cards, observing at each step the page title and breadcrumbs.
  - Check a box next to a single batch and click the "Export selected
    batches" button at the bottom.
  - Check multiple boxes and click "Export selected batches."
  - Click "Edit" on one of the batches
    - In the list of patrons, check one or more checkboxes, and click
      "Export selected card(s)."
    - Click an individual "Export" button from the list of patrons.
    - Click "Export card batch".
  - Select a list from the "Patron list" dropdown and click "Export from
    patron list."
- In each case, you should be forwarded to a new page for choosing
  patron card options.
  - After submitting the form, you should be forwarded to another page
    where you can download the batch as a PDF.
- Test the new "Return to patron card batches" to confirm that it takes
  you to the patron card batches page.
