Re: [uportal-dev] Theme / Skin

2009-02-25 Thread Gary Thompson
Wanted to give everyone a summary of my theme and skin work for the 
upcoming 3.1 release.  This is not the limit of the 3.1 theme and skin 
work, but simply my contribution.


1. Accessibility http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/Accessibility
On behalf of the Fluid Project, I have been working on making 
out-of-the-box uPortal complaint with WCAG 2 Level 1.  With the 
exception of several of the admin administrative channels/portlets, this 
work is complete.


Refer to: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/UPC/Accessibility

UP-2266Accessibility - missing alternate desciption for images in 
Change Layout

UP-2267Accessibility - missing label for Web Search input
UP-2270Accessibility - inline style set on login form inputs
UP-2274Accessibility - anchor tags missing text
UP-2277Accessibility - poor markup and spacer gifs in sitemap
UP-2288Accessibility - missing form markup, poor markup, and spacer 
gifs in Admin channels and portlets

PBOOK-74Accessibility - missing labels on form inputs

2. Theme
Standardizing on the Fluid Skinning System for a CSS and markup 
strategy, several changes were made to integrate FSS, as well as some 
other enhancements.


Reference: Fluid Skinning System (FSS) http://wiki.fluidproject.org/x/96M7

UP-2285Move print and layout CSS to common area
UP-2286Add Fluid Skinning System to universality theme
UP-2287Convert universality theme column layout markup to use divs 
instead of a table

(This also included converting the main navigation to use FSS tabs)
UP-2302Add display options to channel publishing workflow

3. Skin
The default skin, uportal3, was entirely re-worked to be aligned with 
FSS themes and was visually updated to reflect the recent Jasig and 
uPortal brand redesign.


Reference: FSS Walk-through - Colors and Themes 
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/x/egNS

Reference: http://www.jasig.org/

UP-2292Convert uportal3 skin to FSS format and update to new Jasig brand

This work also included implementing the INSTITUTION variable in the 
universality theme so that parts of the theme can be configured based on 
the skin or group of skins.

Still to be done:

1. More testing
Although we've done some testing, more detailed testing, and 
particularly cross-browser testing with your institution's specific 
content would be very much appreciated.  I am certain that there are 
still some kinks to be ironed out and bugs to be fixed.


2. Document theme and skin changes
I know how difficult it can be coming at uPortal's theme and skin 
without supporting information.  I've tried to be liberal with inline 
comments on the theme and skin code, but a theme and skin primer on the 
wiki would likely be beneficial for everyone, especially with all of the 
3.1 changes.  Any help with this process would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/SoCV


3. Integrate Fluid User Interface Options
I plan on including a link labeled My Preferences in the Customize My 
Portal links (in the right sidebar when logged in) that invokes the 
Fluid UI Options component.  I had hoped to add that in for the 3.1 
release as a preview, but didn't get to it, and am not sure of it being 
default when UI Options is still considered Beta.  UI Options should 
reach official release status in the Fluid Infusion 1.0 release, but 
uPortal will also need to be modified to interact with personal user 
preferences.

Let me know if there are questions or comments.

[uportal-dev] 3.1.0-RC1 Jira review

2009-02-25 Thread Eric Dalquist
Could any developer who has an issue assigned to them here for the 3.1.0 
release please review this list and resolve them as appropriate? I'm 
wondering if some of the FSS issues could be marked resolved for the 
3.1.0-RC1 release.
