I have just refactored the Exhibit 2.0 development branch to support
more flexible layouts, e.g.,
http://simile.mit.edu/repository/exhibit/branches/2.0/src/webapp/examples/CSAIL-PIs/CSAIL-PIs.html
Note that the facets can now be distributed anywhere on the page. You
can also use more than one view for showing the same collection of items
(no example yet).
If you are the few and brave who are using the Exhibit 2.0 branch, read
on...
-----
Please note that I've refactored branches/2.0 and it _will_ break your
existing exhibits. If you don't want to do much work to keep up, then
just re-link to this version of the API instead:
http://simile.mit.edu/repository/exhibit/tags/1.0.pre-ui-split/src/webapp/api/exhibit-api.js
If you want to keep with the latest changes, read on...

Make the following changes if applicable to your html files and your
exhibits should work again:
- Remove <div id="exhibit-control-panel"></div>. It's no longer supported.
- Change <div id="exhibit-view-panel"> to <div ex:role="exhibit-viewPanel">.
- Change <div id="exhibit-browse-panel" ex:facets=".abc, .def"></div> to
<div ex:role="exhibit-facet" ex:expression=".abc" ex:facetLabel="Abc
or whatever"></div>
<div ex:role="exhibit-facet" ex:expression=".def" ex:facetLabel="Def
or whatever"></div>
You can put each of those divs anywhere on the page.
- Change <body ex:ondataload="window.exhibit =
Exhibit.create('President');"> to
<body>
<div ex:role="exhibit-collection" ex:itemTypes="President"></div>
- Change <body ex:exhibitLogoColor="abc"> to
<body>
...
<div ex:role="exhibit-logo" ex:color="abc"></div>
You can also use <center> instead of <div>.
-----
Conceptually, an exhibit now consists of one or more collections (of
items) and zero or more components (aka widgets). Each collection has an
ID, and there is a default collection with the ID "default". This code
defines the default collection to be all items of type President:
<div ex:role="exhibit-collection" ex:itemTypes="President"></div>
You can include ex:collectionID to create a new collection:
<div ex:role="exhibit-collection" ex:itemTypes="Vice-President"
ex:collectionID="the-vice-presidents"></div>
Each component is hooked up to one collection (the default collection by
default). Components include views, view panels, and facets. Lenses are
also considered components but they are a bit of an exception because
they don't get connected to any collection. Logos are also considered
components but they don't do anything except showing an Exhibit logo.
You can use more than one view for a single collection. Just don't put
them inside a view panel component.

P.S. Oops, I just remember I haven't fixed the exporters...
