Odd screen display with many participant roles
August 28, 2007, 08:20:33 pm
Maybe I am stretching things a bit, but I decided to use lots of detail in the participant roles under CiviEvent.  I have 32 roles defined which enabled me to get rid of a lot of custom fields.  However in the find participant screen, civicrm wants to display all 32 in one row that scrolls way, way out to the right.  It also moves the end date box, the search buttons and event type drop-down box way out to the right as well.  In this situation, the event name drop down box will not open so it is pretty useless.  Is 32 just too many?  What is the maximum?  It would be nice if the list wrapped around so it stays on the screen.

I confirmed this on the demo site (with 16 options), that the screen display is bad.  However the drop down box works there.  See: http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/civicrm/event/search/basic?reset=1

I think you are streching things a wee bit here :)

can u check demo now, i added a simple fix for that

You can make this change to your code base: CRM/Event/BAO/Query.php (line 432 approx) aand change it to:

Code: [Select]
        $form->addGroup( $role, 'participant_role_id', ts('Participant Role'),
                         array( '&nbsp;', '&nbsp;', '&nbsp;', '<br/>' ) );

This fix will be part of the next 1.8 revision release

And to add to this, in CiviCRM 2.0 participant role and participant status selectors has been replaced with Ajax element, which makes it much more usable when having many items in there.

Thx,
