Description

Since the use of Bootstrap in Tiki (13.x+), wide tables (like many of the ones we use in dev.t.o to display bugs and their associated variables) display a bunch of columns hidden, and the scrollbar is only shown at the bottom of the whole table.

New users might not notice that there are columns on the right hand side of the table, designed to be shown (like in our case, the column "Comments", which indicates which bugs have been commented, by whom and when, to facilitate info to the viewer about bugs that received feedback and more opinions/replies might be expected, etc).
Example (from https://dev.tiki.org/Tiki14+Blockers on a wide screen):
Selecció 232


I was searching for something like what you can doo with doodle on wide tables, but couldn't find any jquery plugin for that.

Default view on wide table (doodle.com )
Expanded view after clicking at the shrinked columns (doodle.com)
Selecció 230 Selecció 231


The floss solutions that we might explore to integrate might be (after 30' of searching around):

  1. Footable jquery plugin: (MIT licensed)
    http://fooplugins.com/footable-demos/
  2. Table column toggle, from jquery mobile (compatible with using Bootstrap?)
    http://demos.jquerymobile.com/1.3.0-beta.1/docs/tables/table-column-toggle.html


Try the demos, and see
Alternatively, some sort of custom trick could be desinged using colResizable jQuery Plugin? (MIT licensed)
http://www.bacubacu.com/colresizable/

If equally complex to implement, I would cast my vote for Footable jquery plugin, for what I've seen in their website as end user.

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
