Description Christopher Brannon 2018-11-29 17:34:07 UTC
Replace buttons with new buttons with font awesome, and change cancel links to buttons.

> change cancel links to buttons.

"Cancel" is a link throughout the staff client. I think the only place where there is inconsistency is some modals.

Is there a reason we want to keep these links?  If it is okay in the modals (and we can't do anything about the pop-up message buttons), should we change them to buttons for consistency?

The intention is to make the "cancel" option less visible. The primary action is always going to be "Submit," and having a cancel link makes it very clear which is which.

Okay.  Is there a reason we are not doing this on the modals?
Comment 5 Owen Leonard 2018-12-03 18:19:41 UTC
I'd like to expand the scope of this bug to include:

  - Styling the "Pay" and "Write off" buttons as Bootstrap buttons.
  - Adding DataTables sorting, searching, and filtering.
  - Adding a column showing the fine date.
  - Hiding the "Add note" input, add a link to show it.

Bug 21918: Update buttons on fines to match newer buttons

This patch makes a number of changes to the "Pay fines" template, the
goal of which is to make the interface look better in general. Changes
include:

 - Styling the "Pay" and "Write off" buttons as Bootstrap buttons.
 - Adding DataTables sorting, searching, and filtering.
 - Adding a column showing the fine date.
 - Hide the "Add note" input, add a link to show it.
 - Add some missing "preventDefault" methods from events.
 - Add "Writeoff selected" to the buttons which are disabled when there
   is no checkbox selection.
 - The <tfoot> tag is now expected by the HTML validator to be after
   <tbody>, so this section has been moved to suppress validator errors.

To test, apply the patch and locate a patron who has multiple
outstanding fines.

 - Go to Fines -> Pay fines
 - Confirm that the table of fines is shown as a DataTable, with sorting
   on columns which have data.
 - Test columns settings in Administration -> Columns settings.
 - Confirm that fine dates are shown, and that sorting by this column
   works correctly.
 - Click an "Add note" link to show a note input field. Focus should be
   in the newly-displayed input.
   - Confirm that notes are still saved correctly when paying or writing
     off single or multiple fines.
   - Confirm that when the "add note" input is hidden, its contents are
     erased.
 - Uncheck all checkboxes by clicking the "Clear all" link at the top.
   The "Pay selected" and "Write off selected" buttons should become
   disabled.
   - Checking any checkbox should re-enable those buttons.
 - Test that the relocated "Apply" button (for outstanding credits)
   still works as expected.
Comment 9 helene 2019-01-15 22:39:24 UTC
This is really good, but the column settings in administration are not having any effect.
Comment 10 Owen Leonard 2019-01-17 19:09:07 UTC
I can't reproduce that problem in my test system. Could you please try again?

Comment 14 Katrin Fischer 2019-01-20 14:01:52 UTC
Testing this I got confused about the payment note feature. I am wondering, do we need it to be on the payments table? It seems a little confusing as you seem to only be able to save it actually paying a fine. Wouldn't it be enough if the field appeared editable on the actual form? Maybe I am missing something!

I agree that this is a little wonky.

It would also be helpful if notes could be updated or edited after the fact, but this is a topic for another ticket.
