https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18117 --- Comment #1 from Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> --- I think it's important to distinguish between a couple of different situations in which we ask the user for confirmation of an action: - "Simple" delete confirmations, where we ask "Are you sure? Yes/No" -- Usually a JS alert - Confirmation requests which display more information for the user to consider before they confirm. Commonly seen in Administration scripts. The latter of those two seem more suited to conversion to modals, although it would require API work to ensure that the additional information could be pulled via AJAX for display in the modal. For instance: "This library cannot be deleted. Patrons or items are still using it." Personally I think the ease and speed of a JavaScript alert makes it appropriate for simple delete confirmations. All modal operations come with the added overhead of more code and are slower to operate. I don't find the visual consistency between browsers to be an issue. I would think people know what their browser's alerts look like and are not concerned that they look different from another browser's alert. Going forward I think we should keep in mind that the conversion to modals isn't simple template work (for the AJAXy reason above) and without that problem prepared for we'll still be stuck with inconsistency for quite a while. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
