Hi,
after discussing with Vincent this morning we came to a suggestion that
would fix my issue with the current location of the add button. The idea
would be to move the search bar to the left of the menu, and put the "Add"
button in its place.
Crude image explanation here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hrxlj6n6pztigic/AddButton-Search.png
This way the "Add" button is back in a global menu, not in a menu that is
contextual to the page, yet it stays very visible. In addition to this,
since "Create wiki" is visible only to authorized users, it's not too much
in the way. Last item: this solves the issue of having the "Edit" and
"More
actions" buttons separated from one another.
WDYT?
Guillaume

why:
column was used as an intermediate solution
because we didn't had bulk
actions in livetable (the ability to make multiple entity selection
(checkbox) - that's why we duplicate the entries on each row).
Great, this means that we agree on the fact that the "Actions" column
should be replaced by a "Select" column with checkboxes in it, and also
that Marius' horizontal livetable toolbar should be expanded to be used a generic fashion by all livetables :-)
Not completely replaced because not all operations/actions can be performed
in bulk fashion. Take the 'edit' action and notice that it is a single
element action compared to 'delete'.
A different situation exists for the 'rename' action since it is more of a
single element action, but can be presented as a bulk action as well if you
provide some kind of renaming template like '<prefix>_<number>'.
In other words, both the bulk operations toolbar and the actions column
have their right place in the livetable IMO and having a checkbox column
like Marius did for the FM livetable looks like the right way to go.
Thanks,
