Description Nick Clemens (kidclamp) 2021-02-08 12:48:41 UTC
The 'caption' field is used a a few dataTables as a place to store filters etc.

We do not wish this to be included when copying/printing the tables

2 - Click Export->Copy
3 - Paste the data to a text editor
4 - Click Export->Print
5 - Note the 'Expand all...' row is included in both of the above
6 - Apply patch
7 - Repeat
8 - The row is gone from both copy and print

Comment 4 Owen Leonard 2021-02-08 23:58:17 UTC
I'm a little concerned about this change because the example in the test plan isn't really good HTML. We shouldn't put controls like "expand all" links into a <caption> tag because it's not semantically correct.

Ideally the caption is designed to provide information about the contents of the table, so a good caption wouldn't be unwanted in a printout. We don't use <caption> very consistently, so I don't really know how often we have a situation where this patch would affect the output. But I am concerned about making this a global change.
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2021-02-09 10:58:03 UTC
Owen, do you have an idea, how we could set this individuallyfor those 2 tables (acq home page and funds table) or handle otherwise?

Bug 27653: [Alternate] Use toolbar elements instead of captions

The aqbudgets and aqui-home tables use captions for additional table controls - these are
more appropriate as a toolbar

To test:
1 - View the tables on acquisitions home and budgets views
2 - Note the 'Expand all...' control row
3 - Apply patch
4 - The row remains, but is above table rows
5 - The row is not included when printing or copying the table

2 - Note the 'Expand all...' control row
3 - Apply patch
4 - The row remains, but is below the table controls
5 - The row is not included when printing or copying the table

Bug 27653: [Alternate][Alternate][Alternate] Use div instead of caption for controls

The funds and acquisitions home page tables use captions for additional
table controls. These are more appropriate as "toolbar" divs.

This patch converts the <caption> to <div class="toolbar btn-toolbar">
and moves it just above <table> in the markup to keep it valid.

To test:
1 - View the tables on acquisitions home and budgets views
2 - Note the 'Expand all...' control row
3 - Apply patch
4 - The row remains, but is below the table controls
5 - The row is not included when printing or copying the table
Comment 10 Barbara Johnson 2021-02-10 23:32:49 UTC
The row is not included when printing or copying the table but there's a display problem.  The 'Expand all' control row is duplicated.  Also there is extraneous data such as <<<<<<< HEAD ======= and >>>>>>> Bug 27653: [Alternate][Alternate][Alternate] Use div instead of caption for controls.  I attached a screenshot of the display I got.

Hi Barbara, these are called "merge markers" - they sometimes are visible when a patch hasn't applied correctly. I will obsolete the other alternates, maybe that will help.

Not backported to oldoldstable (19.11.x). Feel free to ask if it's needed.
