Admin grid improvements

[ihor-sviziev]

Will be great have ability in grids:

• Manage columns (as example for products display some custom attribute in grid and have ability filter by this field). Really great implementation of this feature for magento 1.x: http://amasty.com/extended-product-grid-with-editor.html;
• Add advanced filters, example: For now we haven't ability filter all orders with statuses NOT ("Complete" or "Cancelled");
• Columns re-order;

Hi @igor-svizev ,
Thank you for your input. We are considering some improvements to admin grids. We will take your feedback into account when we make our final decision.
Follow our updates!

There is already an excellent open source project here on Github that provides this and more on most grids (Orders, Products & more) https://github.com/mage-eag/mage-enhanced-admin-grids

Thanks @salubrium for having mentioned Enhanced Admin Grids !
Just to add that the next version (that should hopefully be available within a month or two), will bring :

• a new profiles system available for all the grids (possibility to have different columns lists and default parameters - filters, limit, etc. - for each grid under different profiles, each profile being restrictable to different roles)
• advanced filtering modes for at least text and options columns (regex, "negative" filtering - corresponding to the statuses example from @igor-svizev -, etc.)
• first (big) wave of code refactoring in the whole repository (especially for the oldest parts of the code)

@tyurnikova, @verklov can we add official support for Mage enhanced admin grids module in Magento 2 like for Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis?
It would be great have configurable grids from box.

@igor-svizev we have already started making significant changes to admin grids and this code to my understanding is currently in a feature branch, not published. Among others, grids will be declared in XML not in code. The module you are referring to would have to be compatible with the new architecture. That being said we would probably could reuse some code/ideas from the module - but it has no license. For us to use the code, it needs to be under a permissive license (MIT, BSD, Apache).

Hey everyone, I'm closing the ticket since there is already a ticket in our internal backlog for such feature request. Thanks!
