Select whether to display operations above or below results

Project:Views Bulk Operations (VBO)
Version:6.x-1.12
Component:Core

Priority:normal

Status:needs review

Issue Summary

When acting on a form (in this case a table with checkboxes for each row), the action you are performing should follow the selection of the items you wish to act upon.

I have reordered the two form elements so that the table appears before the submit actions; to follow web standards. See attached patch.

Thanks for the patch. However, although it may follow Web standards, it's not necessarily good for usability, especially in the case where the view of items is longer than a page height.

I suggest to add a new option in the VBO style to ask the user whether to place the actions before or after the view items.

The attached patch provides a new option in the VBO configuration whether to display operations above or below the results table.

Thanks!

Version:6.x-1.9» 6.x-1.10

update version to reflect where patch was applied to.

#5

Hello,

Is it possible to also show it above AND below? It would be helpful when there are 100+ results on the page.

Thank you!

After applying #3, I see the setting, but it has no effect on where the options show up.

#7

Version:6.x-1.10» 6.x-1.12

This patch fails when applying it to the current version of VBO.
Is it possible to apply this same functionality in version 6.x-1.12?

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
