Menu command to edit debts_master_budget (continued)

The new check_menu tests where useful for the benedictine work of adding user_level=’admin’ requirements to many configuration tables which until now were invisible to non-adminstrators only because lino_welfare.Site used the obsolete paradigm of hiding these menus completely for non-administrators.

lino.core.menus.Menu.add_item_instance() didn’t filter the Site configuration command for non-administrators. lino.core.actors.Actor.get_view_permission() no longer calls the actor’s default action’s get_view_permission method, but instead this is done by lino.core.actors.BoundAction.get_view_permission().

No page breaks within tables

Solved the following user request:

• jobs.Overview : Seitenwechsel zwischen die verschiedenen Kategorien (Majorés, Intern, usw.)

The solution was to simply have the table template function insert a table style with a may-break-between-rows property set to false. Only 3 lines of code:

table_style_name = str(ar.actor)
st = add_style(name=table_style_name, family="table",parentstylename="Default")
st.addElement(TableProperties(align="margins", maybreakbetweenrows="0"))

I might make this configurable per lino.core.tables.AbstractTable, but at the moment I don’t see any problem with having this for all (Lino-generated) tables.
