Web Staff Client: Missing Catalog Search Box

[Terran McCanna]

At this time, the main page doesn't have a catalog search box in the "Item Search and Cataloging" column like the traditional staff client has. Front-line staff use that box frequently, and we would like to see it added.

[Stephen (smoss-e)]

Added code to create search box in the Item Search and Cataloging column on the Web Client.
Added code to make search box functional.

The second commit on this branch has several post-build files included. Please clean those out.

Separately, the UI elements should be made to use the new angular/bootstrap styles. There's an opportunity to create a standard directive to embed a catalog basic search here, but even leaving it embedded, it should follow a display style similar to the one found in Open-ILS/src/templates/staff/cat/catalog/t_retrieve_by_id.tt2 and similar.

Thanks!

Stephen, Are you still working on this?

[Kathy Lussier (klussier)]

Since Stephen didn't respond to my question, I'm going to remove him as an assignee for this bug.

New implementation pushed:

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/berick/lp1464350-webstaff-splash-catalog-search

From the commit: ===

Search the catalog directly from the home/splash page in the browser client.

A side effect of this commit is that it's now possible to jump directly to a set of search results in the embedded catalog by going to:

/eg/staff/cat/catalog/results?<query-params>

E.g.

/eg/staff/cat/catalog/results?query=scores&qtype=subject

Nice!

I like it. Picked into the to-be-merged web staff branch. Thanks, Bill!
