[Koha-devel] Search results numbering in master

[Marcel de Rooy]

Hi all,

Just now I noticed missing the search result numbering in current master.
A "glance" through git brought me to this commit:

commit 706712dd1edebb6eed8b632ca8db4dcd9df39b56
Author: Srdjan Jankovic <srdjan at catalyst.net.nz>
Date:   Mon Jan 23 17:04:02 2012 +1300
    bug_6488: Take in account opachiddenitems when searching in opac
Containing:
-                <td class="select selectcol">[% SEARCH_RESULT.result_number %].</td>


I would love to have them back! Why were they removed?

In the 6488 report there are these references:

1)     I sign off on this with the following caveat: results numbering will have to be revisited (or removed).

2)     The number that was removed is one that was next to the Save tickbox, the ordinal number of the result in the result set. It was removed because it was
awkward to show eg 6 results numbered 3,5,8,13,16,19.

I personally do not favor that adding an optional feature of hiding items removes search results numbering in general. The numbering is very handy. Now everybody loses that while not even using the hidden items feature!

I would suggest that possibly Srdjan (as the author) adds the search results numbering back and only removes it when opachiddenitems is active. This could be provisional while resolving the numbering issue in full.

Any comments?

Marcel
