Blocks Bulk Actions (BBA) UX Improvements

This module is an enhancement of the Block Bulk Actions (BBA) project. It takes what is already there and adds a bunch of extra UX modifications which make working with Blocks just a tiny bit easier.

This module does the following:

• Filter regions using text
• Filter blocks by state
• Adds collapsing and expanding region fieldsets
• Adds collapsing all and expanding all buttons
• Select All Blocks for a region
• Color code regions and block disabled state
• Move the "save" button to a static footer
• Move the "Region" demonstration link to a button in the footer bar
• Move "show row weights" to the footer bar
• Adds a number of selected blocks as a status to the footer bar
• Each region has a status of the number of blocks and the number of enabled and disabled blocks in the region

Important

The BBA module leverages the batch mechanism but I found it problematic with sites with tons of blocks. This has more to do with how the batch service writes serialized objects to the DB. Given this issue, I opted to revoke that process and build my own iterator. Now, whenever you are about to perform a bulk action, you will see a modal confirmation alert.

Admin theme compatibility

This module is new and requires testing with other admin themes, but for now it should work nicely with Claro and Adminimal.

Thanks

Big thank you to the creator of BBA to get the ball rolling!
