This task force is forming. If you would like to join, please contact Graham Triggs or Mike Conlon |
Background
VIVO and Vitro use themes (which in turn use templates and css) to render information into HTML for presentation to users through web browsers.
...
Symplectic has developed a new theme for VIVO that addresses these user concerns. Symplectic has made the new theme available as open source. In developing the theme, several issues were uncovered that will need to be addressed to provide the theme to the VIVO community.
Resources
- Code repository for Symplectic Bootstrap theme on github
- Presentation of Symplectic bootstrap theme at VIVO 2016 Conference in Denver
- Poster of Symplectic bootstrap theme at VIVO 2016 Conference in Denver
- Demo site for Symplectic Bootstrap theme
Deliverables
- Phase I
- A new, responsive theme for VIVO, based on the Symplectic VIVO theme.
- Enhancements to VIVO and Vitro to improve the relationship of the theme to the rest of the code. Themes should be capable of completely controlling the look and feel of the application. These enhancements may require changes to the existing VIVO and Vitro themes. No functional changes in those themes are expected as a result.
- Enhanced documentation regarding templates and themes for the purpose of customizing a theme or creating a new one.
- Enhancements to VIVO and Vitro to provide simple configuration of a theme for support of institutional colors, name, and logo.
- Phase II
- Re-evaluation of core technologies (Freemarker, Java, Solr)
