[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] [WIP] 069 Added refresh button for UI

[Petr Vobornik]

This patch have some open issues therefore WIP tag.

1) Button position:
I added the button into facet header next to 'add', 'delete', 'reset', 
'update' buttons as shown on the picture ( 
http://pvoborni.fedorapeople.org/images/2051-refresh-button.png ). I'm 
not sure if it's the right position. I can also imagine it somewhere in 
the page header - in the green area on the right on the top main menu 
(Identity, Policy...) level.

2) Button icon:
I used reset button icon. This is not good because in details facet 
reset and refresh button have the same icon.
I think this icon is more suitable for refresh button and reset button 
should get new icon (maybe with reverse direction of the arrow).

Probably we should ask UXD for opinion and icon.


Patch description:

Web UI is caching records. Currently only possible ways how to display 
updated record which was changed elsewhere - ie. in CLI are:
  * refresh page in browser (takes really long on slow vpns)
  * search facet: change filter, find, change filter back, find
  * entity details: go to search, select other entry, go back to search, 
select original entry
  * association facet: same as entity details

These are inconvenient methods.

This patch adds Refresh button to search, details and association facet. 
This button executes facets refresh method.
