Web Style Guide

Template A | Template B

Templates A and B have been developed for the National Library of Medicine, Exhibition Program online exhibitions. The online exhibitions reflect the spirit of the physical exhibitions that have been created. The online adaptation includes additional functionality and assets to enhance the user experience and to capitalize on the lack of physical constraints.

There are two home page options for Template A.

Template A - Home Page 1 Template A - Home Page 2 Template B - Home Page

Template A - Home Page 1 is ideal for an exhibition that focuses on a collection of common assets and may not necessarily identify itself with a specific image, asset or person. The following are examples of how this template has been utilized.

Template A - Home Page 2 may be ideal for an exhibition that focuses on a particular person or asset or has a strong image that the exhibition identifies with. The following are examples of how this template has been utilized.

Template B - Home Page has a different layout and HTML structure than Template A. The home page showcases the different themes of the exhibition upfront. This may be ideal for an exhibition where the focus is on the various perspectives or timeline. The following are examples of how this template has been utilized.

1.0 Universal NLM Wrapper

1.1 Overview

1.2 Code Changes

1.3 Notes

1.1 Overview

ALL templates exist within the official NLM Wrapper. Therefore, the color choices should consider the context in which they will be displayed.

The wrapper is only modified to pull in the unique assets of the exhibition program.

1.2 Code Changes

Key lines that will need to be changed before beginning an exhibition template file:

Line 26:

<link href="/exhibition/common/css/layout-one.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

Change to select the layout template (Template A uses layout-one.css | Template B uses layout-two.css)

Line 27:

<link href="/exhibition/picturesofnursing/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

Change the folder name to reflect the exhibition (in this case picturesofnursing)

Line 31:

<script src="/exhibition/common/js/common.js"></script>

Do not change this line, it references the common functions of the exhibition program.

Line 32:

<script src="/exhibition/common/js/layout-one.js"></script>

This references the corresponding layout javascript functions. If you are using layout-one.css, this should be layout-one.js

Line 33:

<script src="/exhibition/picturesofnursing/js/main.js"></script>

This references the exhibition specific javascript functions file. Change the folder name to reflect the exhibition (in this case picturesofnursing)

Line 138:

<div class="x_w credits">

This sets the main wrapper for the exhibition program content. The class x_w should always be present but the class after are modifying classes depending on which template the page uses. In this case the page is using the credits class.

Line 143:

<div class="c_w">

This is the beginning of the content wrapper. The majority of code will be placed within this tag.

Line 149-163:

These lines are the common exhibition footer. It shouldn't be changed.

1.3 Notes

If an exhibition doesn't have exhibition specific javascript, create the reference anyways for future use.

The class 'x_w' and 'c_w' were used to ensure the styles for the exhibition program wouldn't override the main NLM styles and vice versa.

2.0 Universal File Structure

2.1 Overview of the Directory Structure

2.2 common/css

2.3 common/javascript

2.4 |exhibitionname|/css

2.1 Overview of the Directory Structure

The directory structure for the exhibitions follows a path of using as many common elements to control the layout and functionality as possible and the individual exhibitions overriding the base functions particularly in visual styles. In general if the modification or addition that needs to be made should affect all exhibitions, the modifications should go in the common folder. On the other hand if the change is only for that particular exhibition it should go in the individual exhibition folder.

Below is the basic directory structure with explanations on each folder:

/exhibition

- common

- - css

- - - fonts

- - - img

- - js

- {exhibitionname}

- - css

- - - img

- - js

- - img

Common Folder

This folder contains all the common and base files for an exhibition. When creating a new exhibition and choosing a base layout, the exhibition will be fully functional. Currently there is only one layout, layout-one which has a corresponding layout-one-css file and layout-one.js file When new layouts are introduced they will follow the same pattern.

Common CSS - This folder contains the css files (as well as subfolders for images and fonts) that control the layout and visual functionality of the exhibitions. The key file is layout-one.css. This file controls the layout of the exhibition templates and the basic styles. It will reference the img subfolder for UI elements and fonts for the web friendly fonts.

Common JS - This folder contains the javascript files for the exhibitions. The key file is layout-one.js which contains all the functionality of the layout-one templates. Likewise there is a file called common.js which holds all the common javascript functions. Since there is only one layout currently this file is underutilized, after another layout is introduced functions will move to this file. Also in this folder are third party javascript plugins.

In general its best to reference as many files from here as possible for code maintenance and performance. For example if a copy of a font file or plugin is loaded into the exhibition folder, the user will need to reload these files.

Likewise having one set of files will streamline support work.

Exhibition Folder

This folder contains all the HTML files and specific files for a particular exhibition Modifications to these files should only be to affect this exhibition.

CSS - This folder contains a file called main.css which is used to override the styles in the selected layout css file (for example layout-one.css). Most styles should be visual in nature, ie colors and UI control styles. The subfolder img stores the UI control override images.

JS - This is the exhibition specific folder for javascript. Most exhibitions won't need this unless they use a one off javascript function or something unique that will not be used elsewhere.

IMG - This folder stores the graphical assets for the exhibition. It's not meant to store UI controls (those referenced in CSS) and instead is for display photos relating to the exhibition.

2.2 common/css

The files under this directory are meant to be used across exhibitions. Most files are in house but there are some third party css files that shouldn't be edited. You will see files with a .less extension that can be edited if you have the proper parser.

/common/css/fonts

This folder holds the font files for the exhibition program. It doesn't include the css files.

/common/css/img

This folder holds the common UI images referenced in the css. Any changes to the images here will cascade across all exhibitions (unless overridden by the exhibition specific css)

/common/css/font-*.css

These are font specific css files used to create the font classes referenced in the css files. Each font has a corresponding css file.

/common/css/gridster.css

This is css for the gridster javascript functionality. Generally shouldn't be modified and only loaded when the gridster functionality is needed.

/common/css/gridster-print.css

This is css for printing gridster layouts. Same usage as above.

/common/css/layout-[name].css

CSS for Template A is "layout-one.css" CSS for Template B is "layout-two.css"

The layout files will be edited the most heavily when adding new functionality to the site and/or troubleshooting. The majority of the css that controls the exhibition layout and appearance is here.

/common/css/main-print.css

This is the print stylesheet for all the exhibitions. Printing styles are very basic, meant to print the content.

2.3 common/javascript

Similar to common/css, the files under this directory are meant to be used across exhibitions. Some are third party plugins and shouldn't be edited while others are in house and can be (although care should be taken since any changes will cascade across all exhibitions)

/common/js/cloud-carousel.1.0.5.min.js

This file is for the cloud carousel functionality (seen with the Education templates). It's a third party javascript file and shouldn't be edited.

/common/js/common.js

This file is for common functionality across exhibitions. Since there is only one exhibition template set currently, this file is a placeholder in anticipation of other layouts.

/common/js/digitalgallery-map.js

For the Digital Gallery Map template.

/common/js/gomap.js

This is a third party javascript function used in conjunction with Google maps and any NLM functions that need to communicate with it. Should not be edited.

/common/js/jcookie.js

This is a third party javascript function used to set and read cookies. It shouldn't be edited. It is used for maintaining the page state of accordions and other UI objects on certain templates.

/common/js/jquery.elevateZoom.min.js

This is a third party javascript function used to add zoom functionality to images. It shouldn't be edited.

/common/js/kb-slide.js

This is a third party javascript function used as a slider. It shouldn't be edited.

/common/js/layout-[name].js

This is the core functionality for either layout.

When layout-one.css (Template A) is used, this corresponding js file should be added. It controls all of the functionality of the pages.

When layout-two.css (Template B) is used, this corresponding js file should be added. It controls all of the functionality of the pages.

/common/js/taffy-min.js

This is a third party javascript function used as a client side database. Its used on pages where a large amount of data needs to be refreshed based on user input. It shouldn't be edited.

2.4 |exhibitionname|/css

These files are for styling individual exhibitions. Most of the changes here will be for colors and referencing new UI control images.

|exhibitionnanme|/css/img

This folder contains the specific UI control images to override the base images in the layout file. The filenames should be the same as what is in layout-|name|.css, for example if in layout-one.css an img is called 'icon-eye.png' the override file here should be named the same. Exhibition specific assets shouldn't be stored here.

|exhibitionnanme|/css/main.css

This css files is used to override styles in the layout css files.

|exhibitionname|/img

This folder is used to store photo and image assets for the exhibition. It shouldn't be used to store UI controls or background images.

|exhibitionname|/js/main.js

This is exhibition specific javascript. Not every exhibition will have unique javascript functions but the file should be created in case future revisions require it.

3.0 Universal Footer

The footer remains consistent throughout the online exhibition web sites.

The footer consists of the following parts after the word "EXPLORE," in the following order:

Description/Text Functionality Appearance

MORE EXHIBITIONS Links to NLM Exhibition Program's "Exhibitions" page NOT editable*

MORE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES Links to NLM Exhibition Program's "Education Services: Online Resources" page NOT editable*

"Search Exhibition Program" search box Search box NOT editable*

*If these pieces were to be edited it would require a global change to all exhibition sites.

4.5 Universal Floating Back to Top

4.1 Universal Section Heading Names

Both templates A and B have a consistent horizontal main navigation bar from where the user can access the main sections of the site. From left to right, in the following order, these sections include:

Home

Exhibition

Education

Digital Gallery

Credits

These names should not change from exhibition to exhibition. The naming convention should be consistent to provide familiar navigation and consistent organization for the user. The fonts should not change because the varying width of other fonts may adversely affect the structure of the layout and require consistent font changes throughout the site that will begin a cascade of unintended consequences for the layout.

This layout (i.e. Pictures of Nursing) may be ideal for a highlighting collection of assets where there may not necessarily be a central figure or asset you want to focus on. The scrolling collage layout is unique to each exhibition due to the varying sizes and dimensions of the assets. Keeping the download time in mind, there should not be more than 45 assets. Each asset is represented by a thumbnail which is rectangular/square in shape.

The code is also manually coded for each exhibition. Each thumbnail links to the related digital gallery page.

Typically, an exhibition has an "Introduction" and five themes for a total of six sections/links. When the user clicks on the "Explore" menu, the menu expands which then allows the user to learn a little about each theme by selecting one of the choices. When the user clicks on a section title or the accompanying thumbnail, content about that section appears to the right side of the page.
