Paul Piper commented on OFBIZ-5040:
-----------------------------------
I am still interested, but haven't found the time to give it any more thought (won't have time until the end of the month). It is a must that we finally improve upon the faulty implementation of html throughout ofbiz, however, and get rid of all the custom html implementations scattered across the different apps that make styling impossible...
> Widget & Application HTML clean-up
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-5040
> URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5040> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ALL APPLICATIONS
> Reporter: Paul Piper
> Labels: html, webapp, widget, widgetrendering
>
> I am sure that this is a common thing to know: the current backoffice application relies heavily on widgets. This is good, but the current standard-html-structure is not flexible enough and often lacks proper w3c implementation.
> To make matters worse, you can often find applications avoiding widgets at all and rather overriding the standards with custom ftl implementations. It is these customizations that break the html on numerous screens and make it difficult, if not tedious to create new themes for the backoffice.
> This task is hence to:
> * Find a consensus on a new widget standard
> * Go over each of the application ftls and convert these to the new standard
> * Recreate the themes and simplify/clean-up special rules
> Since redoing the theme is a rather large task, we should consider to add an additional css for now which stylises the replacement html instead of working with the old.
