Hi developers,
as agreed in the last special IRC meeting dedicated to the PR review for 4.0
http://irclogs.duraspace.org/index.php?date=2013-10-11 (starting from
15:36 )
me and Andrea Pascarelli have made the PR #321
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/321
https://github.com/CILEA/DSpace/tree/bootstrap
ready to merge and I will push the green button *tomorrow at 14 October
2013, 10 am EDT.**
**http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Merge+of+new+JSPUI+look%26feel&iso=20131014T16&p1=215*
We can fix any minor issues or restylish eventually missing pages later
but it is required that this PR go in as soon as possible to allow
better testing and avoid conflict with other pending PR.
*What is it?**
*This PR will completely change the look&feel of the JSP UI switching
from a table based layout to a fluid layout build upon Bootstrap3 (the
CSS framework providen by Twitter and used by GitHub and much other,
see: http://getbootstrap.com/ )
The bootstrap framework itself promise to make our new layout
responsive, some behaviour are already implemented as the collapsing of
the navigation bar to the "app menu icon" in small device, others can be
introduced as further enhancements. Anyway the fluid layout should
assure, unlike now, that the UI is fully usable also in tablet and phone.
We have tried to restylish all the pages (both public and
administrative/submission), some minor functionalities could be miss but
as we have seen during the revision this normally mean that the content
block look no so good as the other pages but all should still work and
be readable.
Many screenshots of the new layout are available on the JIRA Issue:
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1675
anyone interested in the JSPUI is asked to checkout the branch and start
to familiarize with it.
*About the migration:*
No special actions are required to activate the new look & feel. Users
that have done personalization in the JSPUI are required to reapply
their changes to the new jsp most likely as they have done in past
upgrade. New jsp should work out of box but the content block should
look "old".
JSP code should look more clean with many html twicks removed (center
tag, fake table, etc.) and easy to customaze moving div block to
rearrange the content in the page.
CSS manually tweks should, at least in this first version, not
required/useful to make customizations. The best way to change the theme
is to use UIs to build custom bootstrap theme
Bootstrap theme generator: http://getbootstrap.com/customize/
JQueryUI theme roller (we use redmond in the out-of-box theme):
