The WebJournal modules provides an optional, customizable page for
accessing previous issues of a journal (for eg. http://invenio-
demo.cern.ch/journal/search?name=AtlantisTimes). It is needed to study
alternative, more visible patterns to navigate to previous issues.
Some ideas are:
1. Add a link in the margins of the journal, using the full height of the
page, and that gets displayed when the mouse reaches the sides of the
page. The left margin links to previous issue, the right margin links to
next one (if available). See attachments "prototype1a" and "prototype1b"
2. Provide a link to navigate to next/previous issue next to the display
of current issue in the top right corner ({{{BFE_WEBJOURNAL_IMPRINT}}}).
See attachment "prototype2"
3. Add access to a browsing interface (similar to
{{{BFE_WEBJOURNAL_ARCHIVE}}}) right under a click on the current issue
link, under the form of a "popover". Since this link currently redirects
to the current issue from any issue, a link should be added to the popover
view. See attachment "prototype3".
4. A more complete solution could be to add access to the various issues
right from a search field. A live-search could suggest a list of issues as
well as article matching the query. See attachment "prototype4".
The adopted solution would have to consider that any change to the markup
of the index template should be compatible with the HTML alert/newsletter
email that uses this page as content (in particular checking the rendering
in mail clients such as Outlook is absolutely necessary).
It is also needed to check the solution with the templates of the CERN
Bulletin, main user of the WebJournal module.
