is duplicated by ZBX-7672 "copy to" lists templates under hosts Closed

 Description   

Copying an element (item, trigger and graph), dropdown displays groups that don't have hosts. Therefore there are no targers and pressing copy error is inevitable. Only groups with hosts should be displayed in dropdown.

(1) Also please fix this ZBX-7672: separate hosts and templates into two lists.

(2) Copying to templates does not work.

(3) Some general coding issues:
1. it's best to avoid using API_OUTPUT_EXTEND and list specific fields instead;
2. we don't use empty(), "empty($data['filter_groupid'])" should be rewritten as "$data['filter_groupid'] == 0";
3. There should be a space after "if" in "if($data['copy_type'] == 1) {".

(4) When opening the copying form, the first host group must be selected by default.

(5) The getCopyElementsFormData() function should return hosts and templates under separate keys.

(6) It would be great to introduce constants to replace literal "copy_to" values.

kristsk RESOLVED in r44584.

jelisejev It would be better to rename the constant to "COPY_TYPE_*" so that it would match the name of the parameter.

kristsk RESOLVED in r44656.

jelisejev CLOSED.

(7) The JS code that resets "filter_groupid" when submitting a form should be removed, so that if some group contains both templates and hosts, it would be remembered.

(8) Let's refactor the code that displays the item copying form so that it would also use the getCopyElementsFormData() function and the configuration.copy.elements.php view file.

kristsk RESOLVED in r44584.

1. It's better to rename the "filter_groupid" used by the copy form to something like "copy_groupid" to avoid conflicts with the item filter form parameter with the same name.
2. The "CONFIGURATION OF ITEMS" is gone from the item copying page.

kristsk RESOLVED in r44656.

jelisejev The "filter_groupid" parameter is no longer used and can be removed from graphs.php and triggers.php.

kristsk RESOLVED in r44704.

(10) The following error appears after copying a trigger:

Illegal offset type in isset or empty [triggers.php:309 → getRequest() → hasRequest() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/zabbix/trunk/frontends/php/include/func.inc.php:63]

(11) These changes need to be documented (this issue also includes changes from ZBX-7672).
