 Description   

regression from 1.8
in 1.8, if multiple elements were selected, links for all of them were shown.

in trunk, links are shown only if one element is selected.

this is inconvenient, and results in the following nasty behaviour :

select two elements, add a link. does not show up in the list. user thinks there's something wrong and clicks the "+" icon a few more times. links do not appear in the list. only when user unselects both items and selects one of them, he sees a bunch of overlapping links added (which now are cumbersome to delete).

extremely nasty usability regression. personally, i would classify it as a blocker because of how unintuitive the current behaviour is. when fixed, would be nice to implement ZBX-1488 as well

(1) We decided to change the idea a bit:

  • if one element is selected, all of it's links are displayed;
  • if multiple elements are selected, only the links between those elements are listed.

<richlv> and the link section title changes :
if one element is selected, title is "Links for the selected element"
if more than one element is selected, title is "Links between the selected elements"

additionally, when multiple element are selected, "endpoint" dropdown is hidden in link properties

<pavels> RESOLVED.

<Vedmak> 'if one element is selected, title is "Links for the selected element"' seems not implemented.

(2) The layout of the table will be changed as well. The "Element type" column will be removed from the link table. And if multiple elements are selected, elements names on both ends of the link will be displayed.

When we edit link with multiple selected elements, mass update form actions should be disabled as with single selected element.

Why objectSize function was added to jQuery object, it should be simple function.
