Re: UI improvement for tables in OFBiz
A bit late to the party but I totally agree that we should make use of
an existing standard instead of reinventing our own wheel.
+1 for bootstrap

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

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
