Size display for field

[Malin Nicolas]

Hello,

I have an improvement to propose on form renderer on the size display.
When we display a list that contains many information, column position
in the screen depends on the text size include on the table. If a create
a screen with the goal to display on 1024*760 resolution, is possible
that the table exceeds the screen limit. I create a little example of
this problem : http://librenberry.librenberry.net/ColumnSize.png.

Proposal is to add an attribute that specify the size to display (number
character to display). When the table is display if the attribute is
define, the renderer create a fixed size for the column and all text
exceeds are truncated. A hint box is displayed when user mouse pass over
the text.

Actually the improvement add an attribute on display field type but I
think is not enough. I can continue the improvement to update this
concept on all field to add the attribute on field element. I thinks
it's possible to add an other attribute default-width-size on form
definition.

Have you any idea on the proposal?

Hi Nicolas,

This sounds like good ideas to me. As suggested by BJ you could use the existing OFBIZ-2021 to submit a patch.
In a more general way, I just wonder if we should not begin to concentrate on bugs solving for a new release to come in spring.
But I guess it's premature to speak about that before OFBiz symposium end.

Thanks

Jacques

I saw about 85 bugs that are still open.
have not had time to review each one.
I did do some linking of multiple issues that seem the same ball park.
