Description Aleisha Amohia 2016-04-27 04:47:02 UTC
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10171#c1 brought it to my attention that the advanced search could use some touching up...

See Bug 16363 for a floating toolbar also

Bug 16364: Cleaning up appearance of advanced search

This patch uses the page space a bit more wisely to reduce scrolling

To test:
1) Go to advanced search
2) Notice Subtype limits and Sorting divs are now stacked and Location and availability div is floated to the right (reduces scrolling)
3) Click [More options]
4) Notice Item type div becomes smaller and Limits div is now floated to the right
5) Notice that checkboxes next to item types are nicely aligned

Screenshot showing layout problems

The layout isn't working for me. Can you post a screenshot of what you see?

However, when I click More options on my computer at work the layout looks the way it should but it breaks on my personal laptop. I will keep working on this.

Hi Aleisha, did you see the more/fewer options are configurable with system preferences? Maybe that's one of the differences between yours and Owen's view.

Hm ok, scratch that - seems to only apply to the OPAC!
Comment 7 Owen Leonard 2016-04-28 01:28:59 UTC
Aleisha if you're looking to make two 50% width columns, the built-in grid can do that:
