Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 01:06:53 UTC 


---- Reported by nengard@gmail.com 2009-04-18 21:38:02 ----

After talking to Owen, we came up with an idea that he needs help with.  He will add in styles to the templates to identify the different sections on the ADD PATRON form and then we'd like to see a system preference like the one we have for the patron required fields that lets you pick which sections to have collapsed by default.  Then those sections will have a plus (+) next to them so that you can expand them if you need - but they are taking up less space for the every day usage.

The purpose of this is to shorten the ADD PATRON form so that it's not so much tabbing or scrolling.

Comment 3 Marc Véron 2017-04-05 10:12:06 UTC 
I like the idea.

However:

If I disable e.g. Alternate address and then, from a patron's detail page, follow the "Edit" link for Alternate address, I get an empty form, and I can not toggle the fields. I would expect that the fields display anyway (without toggling), since I explicitely clicked the "Edit" button for Alternate address. - I think it is the same for all partial edit forms.
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2017-05-01 14:47:06 UTC 
I have tested this quickly, but there is a display problem, where not all sections reappear. What I have done:
- In the system preference, select all and save
- In the patron add form, display all using the link
- Notice some areas don't disappear/blue blocks are shown (see screenshot attached)

I really like the idea of simplyfing the form a bit, but I would like to suggest to make use of the initial idea of collapsing/uncollapsing sections.

Following scenario: I have a minimal patron add form with say, the second and third address hidden by default. While entering the data, I notice that I have to enter a second address.
With this patch, I have to scroll back up, unlock all the hidden fields, scroll down and find the right ones. 
I think it would be nicer if the interface would always show the section headings (collapsing some according to the system preference) and then allow me to click on the heading to uncollapse/unfold the fields. That way I could keep entering data without the scrolling action.

I hope that makes sense!

fields selected
3) Go to add a patron / edit an existing patron (any patron category).
confirm everything still works as expected.
4) Tick some of the fields in the syspref to hide them in the form
5) Go back to add patron form.
6) Confirm these fields are hidden and listed at the top of the page
7) Toggle the checkbox and confirm the hidden fields show or hide as
expected.

[SIGNED-OFF] Bug 3137: [FOLLOW-UP] Remove checkboxes, add collapsing sections

This patch removes the checkboxes from my previous patch and adds
collapsing/uncollapsing sections.

Follow the above test plan until step 6. The fields selected in
HideFieldsAddPatronForm will still be hidden, but can now be shown and
collapsed again (as well as all other sections) much more easily and
without scrolling.

Comment 20 Katrin Fischer 2020-02-29 19:40:15 UTC 
Ok, one blocker and 2 suggestions:

Blocker:
1) The guarantor information won't collapse for me - can you please check?

Suggestions:

2) I love the word 'collapse' for this behaviour. I want to suggest renaming the preference from HideFieldsPatronAddForm to CollapseFieldsPatronAddForm.
I think using collapse would nicely set this off from other preferences like that actually hide things without giving the option to make them visible again.

We could even think about naming it a little differently, perhaps:
CollapseSectionsPatronAddForm. Not sure section is good, maybe areas? What I am htinking is that we don't really hide single fields, but 'parts' of the patron add form. 

3) I'd remove the a. b. c. etc. from the pref.

> 3) I'd remove the a. b. c. etc. from the pref.

I added the letters so that the options would be sorted by how they appear in the field, without the letters the options get sorted alphabetically. Happy to make this change though if the order of the options is fine to be alphabetical
