Bug Description

To add new students, I navigate the following screens:

manage.html -> persons -> @@add.html -> persons/username_of_person_just_added

There is no navigational device (other than highlighting username_of_person_just_added in the url and hitting the delete key) to get back to the persons screen to add another New person. Since adding multiple people one after the other is a common use case, this is a bug.

I submitted a patch to Ignas that makes the "Add Person" action visible when on the basic person view. It also would be good to just have an "Add another person" button on the person add form that takes you directly to a new form.

Changed in schooltool:
assignee: nobody → tom-hoffman
importance: Undecided → Medium
milestone: none → intrepid
status: New → In Progress

SchoolTool 1.5.2 adds the "New Person" action button to Person views, and also an "Add Multiple Persons" action view to Manage -> Persons page.

SchoolTool 1.4.3 (for Lucid) will only have the "New Person" button.

The add multiple persons form uses features of z3c.form >= 2.0, but we have an older version (1.9.0) of this library in Lucid, and SchoolTool had some compatibility problems with the newer one that were only fixed in 1.5 series.
