Bug 29971: Remember selections across patron search pages
This patch modifies the patron search results page to enable checkbox
selections to be remembered in the browser's localStorage. This allows
checkbox selections to persist while navigating through multiple pages
of search results or even across multiple different searches.
Once selected, these values can be added to a patron list or submitted
for merging. Selections can be cleared manually and will be
automatically be removed upon logout.
To test, apply the patch and rebuild the staff interface CSS
(https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Working_with_SCSS_in_the_OPAC_and_staff_client).
- In the staff interface perform a patron search in the Patrons module
which will return multiple pages of results..
- Check checkboxes next to several patrons.
- After one checkbox is checked the "Add to patron list" button should
be enabled.
- After more than one checkbox is checked the "Merge selected patrons"
button should be enabled.
- A box should appear in the toolbar above the search results, "Patrons
selected: X"
- Navigate to another page of results. Check more checkboxes. The
"Patrons selected" information should be updated.
- Return to the first page of results. Your original selections should
still be checked.
- Test that the correct set of patrons is used when clicking "Merge
selected patrons" or when using "Add to patron list."
- Click the "Clear" button in the selections information box. Checkboxes
should be cleared on every page of results you previously checked.
- The "Add to patron list" and "Merge selected patrons" buttons should
become disabled.
- After making several selections, log out of the staff interface and
log back in, returning to the same patron search. Your selections
should have been forgotten.
