Arbitrary Header Links - Allow ordering with other header links

[gsteimer]

Some clients want to add more links to the header in HPI.

For this enhancement, we would want to update the above screen in the HPI admin to do the following:

• [x] Allow the admin to type in arbitrary header items. Each arbitrary link should allow for:
  • URL
  • Label
• [x] Allow the admin to configure when each arbitrary link appears (based on user group)
• Allow the admin to display the link as a normal header link or as a button (like the admin button) GGS 9/2015 - Buttons as a header link isn't a thing anymore
• [ ] Allow arbitrary links to be ordered with normal HPI header sections and actions
• [x] Link Configurability - Open in new or same window

@m-brouillette - @benallenallen mentioned that you were doing this for a client. I'm guessing that you're looking at the first item above and not the others, so don't feel like you have to do all three if your client doesn't need it.

@b-k-white or @peterkk - Can we close this issue now?

Commit #13310

This commit: -Completes goal 1, but clicking on header link opens in the same window -Completes goal 2 -Does NOT complete goal 3 -- Only allows admin to create links, not buttons. -Does not allow user to reorder custom links on header.

@gsteimer should this issue be closed?

[gsteimer]

We should leave this open for now. @joehof's current project is planning to implement goal 3

In looking at the admin, it seems that the group security section is for all links. In other words, even though there's a separate edit groups icon next to each link, I can't set the allowed groups to different values for different links. Is that expected, or will any of our upcoming client implementations require different groups for links?

It's also odd to me that any custom links are before the action links. Can we move custom links to the end?

Disregard my comment about the group security - I must have had to refresh for some reason, and it's working fine now. One quick thing to prevent confusion though - can we add the label name to next to the "Group Security Management" section header, maybe in parentheses? I think that'll make administering this a lot more clear.

I will take care of the order and the Group Security Management label. @joehof Do we want to create the ability to configure the custom headers to be buttons? Or will that be upon client request?

[ghost]

Ordering and helpful label fixed, buttons still not a configurable option.

CUSTOM HEADER LINKS - Update to custom header links UI and display, and removing erroneous references to picklist items in HTML template. Custom header links are now displayed in a bootstrap table where each custom header is able to be sorted among each other (not among normal HPI headers and actions), and the display or custom header icons is now cleaner than it was before. With this update, however, due to knockout acting up strangely, once the URL is created for a custom header link it will not be able to be updated. The user will have to remove and replace the custom header in case they would like to change the URL.

This update also completes item labeled "Link Configurability - Open in new or same window" in the initial comment of this enhancement. Custom header links can be opened in a new window, or the same window (allowing for back functionality as well).

This update can be seen in HPI revision: 16058 CR - Joe Hof
