Have you considered-- http://www.datatables.net/ ? I did a little investigation of jquery table plugins a few months ago and picked that as my favourite. I ended up not using any as my data sets were very large and I didn't want to wire in their paging solution (even though it might have been the right thing to do after all). -reed On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 9:25 PM, Paul Poulain <paul.poulain@biblibre.com> wrote:
Hello koha-devel,
On the bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6086 Alex proposes to add a new jquery filter for tables, picnet.table.filter.min.js (An example of the filter is here: http://www.picnet.com.au/resources/tablefilter/demo.htm )
We already have some jquery plugins for table: * tablesorter = let you sort table columns. Widely used in Koha. * tablesorterPager = automatically paginate long tables. Used in admin section of Koha, and in readingrec * uiTableFilter = add a generic filter to tables. Used only in serials claims if i'm not mistaking.
uiTableFilter and tablefilter achieve almost the same goal: * uiTableFilter propose just one filter, generic, outside of the table. You enter something, and any cell with the entered value is kept, others are hidden * tablefilter add a line to the table, just below column names (see the screenshot on bug 6086) the filter can be very detailled. It handles filters from a list, not only from an entered value.
We have options: * those 2 plugins are not exactly the same, let's go with both (at the price of sometimes graphic inconsistencies or difficulties to choose one or the other plugin) * uiTableFilter is great, the other gives us too much detail, let's stick with uiTableFilter, don't add another table plugin ! * tablefilter is great, it's better to have a lot of details, it's easier to understand how it works (the uiTableFilter is outside the table, it's strange...) switch to tablefilter and remote uiTableFilter !
What do you think we should do ? Is there an other thing we should take care of ? Anyone knowing the killing-plugin-for-table we should use for sorting/filtering/doing everything on table ?
Personally, I think I prefer a little bit tablefilter, I already had some usability questions from Owen about uiTableFilter used in a smart-rules patch we've submitted (and has not been applied yet)
Depending on the conclusion, i'll QA the 6086 differently ;-)
