UI improvement for tables in OFBiz
Hello All,
The tables used in OFBiz currently don`t have any standard for defining the
alignment of data inside the tables. IMO, following are the points relevant
to alignment of data in tables -
1. Numeric data (Right Aligned)
2. Non-Numeric (Left Aligned)
3. Table headers to be aligned with the data.
Also, the names of classes used for aligning data are a bit confusing. We
can come up with more generic names of the classes, also we can define
certain classes that could be specific to the alignment of data inside
tables.
Please let me know what you think about this.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Mayank,
It's a good initiative. As some of the numeric data price, quantity is
generally right-aligned. +1 on creating generic names of classes and moving
ahead.
I think the "align" attribute is used at some of the tables. As per HTML5,
'align' attribute is not supported, so code cleaning will also be required
there.

Thank you all for your suggestions,
If everyone agrees, we can move forward by creating generic names of the
CSS classes as provided by bootstrap.

Nitish,
I think what Taher is suggesting, to use the naming conventions used in
bootstrap instead of try to form dictionary of our own. I also agree with
him, to use a standard practice for naming the classes.
+1 Mayank for the idea.

Re: UI improvement for tables in OFBiz

Hi Jacques/List ,
Further, for mini/micro applications that absorb relatively less update
information from teams on move (say e.g. opportunity status update from
front-line sales team, status update from delivery courier fleet etc) it
makes
sense to use bootstrap/equivalent .
But i feel such application development can mostly by done
by teams implementing ofbiz in organisations rather than being
a part of ofbiz itself as Ofbiz already provides excellent framework
for interfacing.

Hi Rajesh,
This is interesting and I agree.
Despite recognising Bootstrap value I have always thought that there is some cargo cult around it.
Notably, as you outline, for applications like ERP. Even if nowadays you often have access to them also from smartphones.
Of course a CSS framework is more interesting if you look for ecommerce solutions, where mobile is ubiquitous
I have been working with the ilscipio team who is mostly providing ecommerce solutions.
They initialled picked Bootstrap but are finally using Foundation.
I never used a CSS framework, but I read that Foundation is more flexible regarding tables, that OFBiz uses a lot!
Anyway rather than blindly using a CSS framework, we could get inspired from them.
To indeed improve what we have already and where a lot of thoughts has already been put.
Jacques

Hi Nitish ,
I feel bootstrap is a mobile first framework and is
primarily meant for creating ui that looks great in
large and small screens.
Given the kind of application Ofbiz is , it is difficult
to imagine much core usage in mobile space as most of
the screens requires an elaborate input from users and
also display quite many details.
Definitely bootstrap provides elegant UI/UX but most
of the (bootstrap based) designs that i have come across
are not dense in terms of information content . The forms
created by default bootstrap styles waste too much space,
IMHO.
I am not sure how much value it is going to add in comparison
to the effort made in customizing the bootstrap styles to
accommodate the screens of Ofbiz which generally have quite
many fields in forms or tables.
I feel if with relatively less effort the the proposed UI improvement
can done its worth !.

Hello Taher,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Currently, we don't have bootstrap integration in OFBiz. So, if we are
planning to give bootstrap support, then there would be no need to create
our own CSS dictionary.
Please let us know if you have any plans for the same.

Re: UI improvement for tables in OFBiz
Posted by Mayank Lambhate <ma...@hotwaxsystems.com>.
Hello,
I agree with Deepak that we can define our own CSS classes based on the
context and we can take the names from fieldtype*.xml.
I think once this is done, we can proceed with the comparison for UI
frameworks to be used and the CSS classes would remain the same.
I have created a ticket for the same.

Re: UI improvement for tables in OFBiz
Posted by Deepak Dixit <de...@hotwaxsystems.com>.
Hi,
I think instead of directly using bootstrap defined classes we can define
it based on context.
Like for as we display amount/numeric values as right aligned, and for this
bootstrap has pull-right class.
pull-right does not make sense its to generic, we can define new classes to
meet ERP needs.
We can use ofbiz defined field type in fieldtype*,xml file for these kind
of field.
This is an example where we can't use direct bootstrap classes so its good
to have our own definition.
Thanks & Regards

Re: UI improvement for tables in OFBiz

Hi Mayank,
It would seem more logical to me to decide about the naming convention for alignment classes after having decided which CSS framework we prefer to
refer for tables.
I see no hurry in that, do you have for another reason? If so then please start the detailed comparison of the 2 CSS frameworks to help us to decide.
Thanks
Jacques

Hello Jacques, All,
I think this would be a good idea to check which of the CSS styling in
either Bootstrap or Foundation works best for OFBiz tables.
Also coming to the original discussion of using specific classes for
alignment of table data, Can we pick the naming convention from Bootstrap
Alignment classes?

Re: UI improvement for tables in OFBiz
Posted by Paul Mandeltort <pa...@marcospec.com>.
In the other thread, folks were talking about Vaadin which would supersede this discussion, I believe.
For this application I think Vaadin (in particular the Grid component) is an ideal fit, because it is a complete UI framework, vs Bootstrap which is just a nice client-side CSS/JS theme.
Replacing the various obsolete implementations of tabular data display with the Vaadin Grid component alone would make ofbiz an order of magnitude more usable for most of its apps.

Re: UI improvement for tables in OFBiz

Hi Michael, All,
Why not Foundation?
It's true that Bootstrap, I guess due to its origin, is more widely used, but Foundation has some arguments.
https://www.google.fr/search?q=Bootstrap+vs+Foundation&ie=UTF-8
Nnotably when it comes to tables that OFBiz uses a lot (please see Rajesh's and my message before in the thread).
Beware, I don't mean to use Foundation as is, simply to refer to its CSS definitions as Taher suggested for Bootstrap.
At least to compare both for OFBiz before picking one
