| - | BibClass relies on default templates for the "simple" and "advanced" search interfaces and builds these from variables in the collection database, as presented through [colldb.html collmgr]. An <tt>index.tpl</tt> is required for each collection and placed at <tt>/{DLXSROOT}/web/c/collid</tt>. Instructions on editing the <tt>index.tpl</tt> are provided below. It is also possible to build specialized web pages (e.g., a browse page for a relatively small collection) and link these from <tt>index.tpl</tt>.
| |
| | | | |
| - | == Editing <tt>index.tpl</tt> for a Collection ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | A [[bib-sample.tpl|sample <tt>index.tpl</tt>]] is provided as a working example of an <tt>index.tpl</tt>. Items that should be added or changed are in curly braces (e.g., <tt>{ }</tt>).
| |
| - |
| |
| - | * Add the <tt>HEAD</tt> element with the following components:
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <head>
| |
| - | <title> </title>
| |
| - | <meta content="template generated html">
| |
| - | <link rel="MADE" href="mailto:">
| |
| - | <link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="$STYLE_SHEET_URL">
| |
| - | <link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="$STYLE_SHEET_SPECIFIC_URL">
| |
| - | </head>
| |
| - | Provide a title for the collection and add the "help" e-mail address in the <tt>LINK</tt>
| |
| - | element, as in <tt>LINK rel="MADE" href="mailto:umdl-help@umich.edu"</tt>.
| |
| - | * You may choose to add a banner or textual title for the collection within the body of the template.
| |
| - | * You may choose to provide one or more paragraphs of descriptive text about the collection within the body of the template.
| |
| - | * Provide links to the "simple" and "advanced" search pages using the template variables <tt>$SIMPLE_SEARCH_LINK</tt> and <tt>$BOOLEAN_SEARCH_LINK</tt>, e.g.:
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <p align="left">
| |
| - | <a href="$SIMPLE_SEARCH_LINK">
| |
| - | <font size="4">Simple Search</font> </a>
| |
| - | Search for a word or phrase in a title, a main heading or anywhere in the entry.
| |
| - | </p>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <p align="left">
| |
| - | <a href="$BOOLEAN_SEARCH_LINK">
| |
| - | <font size="4">Advanced Search</font></a>
| |
| - | Search for combinations of words or phrases in a title, main heading or anywhere in the entry.
| |
| - | </p>
| |
| - | * You may also provide links to other web pages with embedded links to support activities such as browsing.
| |
| - | * Add a link to help pages about a particular collection using the <tt>$COLLECTION_HELP</tt> variable. The following is one form this might take:
| |
| - |
| |
| - | <center><p><a href="$COLLECTION_HELP">Help</a></center>
| |
| - |
| |
| - | == Creating Additional Web Pages ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Information will be provided about creating supporting web pages for other types of access (e.g., browsing). For working examples of this, please see the Digital Library Federation's Digital Library Documents ([http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/b/bib/bib-idx?c=dlf]) collection.
