[CODE4LIB] Bootstrap vs Foundation
Hi all, We are about to develop a set of style-guids and templates for our locally developed applications that will have a unified look and feel. One manifestation of this will be a ruby gem that we will use for all of our rails apps (including Blacklight and Hydra applications). As we were discussing the approaches we may take for this, the question of basing our designs on a library such as Bootstrap or Foundation came up. I have heard a lot about Bootstrap in the C4L community, but very little about Foundation. Does anybody here have extensive experience w/ both libraries and would recommend one over the other? We are already leaning towards Bootstrap as many in the Blacklight and Hydra communities have expressed interest or are using it already. Also, some folks locally who have used or investigated both libraries have had positive experiences in either case. Understanding that this may be boil down to a simple matter of taste, I wonder what opinions you all have. Thank you, - Jessie Keck Stanford University

Whoops, sorry guys, sent this message before I saw http://html9responsiveboilerstrapjs.com/ (I'm so behind times) Clearly the jury is already out on this one. - Jessie On May 10, 2012, at 4:17 PM, Jessie Keck wrote: Hi all, We are about to develop a set of style-guids and templates for our locally developed applications that will have a unified look and feel.

[CODE4LIB] Blacklight 4.0.0 released!
Apologies for the cross-post. Blacklight 4.0.0 was just released yesterday evening. One of the most notable changes in this release is a switch to using Twitter Bootstrap for our UI component. We have taken a fairly generic approach which will allow implementers to take full advantage of the features Bootstrap provides (including drop-in Bootswatch themes). You can see the new Bootstrap UI for Blacklight at our demo site ( http://demo.projectblacklight.org/ ). Other notable changes are: - Removing dependency on RSolr::Ext which allows us to leverage new solr features as the come out. One such feature (Pivot Facets) is supported in this release. - Updated blacklight-jetty submodule to solr 4.0. (note that we expect to remain compatible with 3.x and 1.4 moving forward) - Drop support for ruby 1.8. In addition to the core release we have upgraded most (if not all) of the plugins under the projectblacklight Github organization to work with the 4.0.0 release. For more information about what this release contains as well as an upgrade guide please see our wiki: https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight/wiki/Blacklight-4.0-release-notes-and-upgrade-guide Very special thanks to the developers in the Blacklight community that did the heavy lifting on this release: Chris Beer (Stanford) Simon Lamb (Hull) James Stuart (Columbia) Justin Coyne (MediaShelf) As always, please feel free to contact us via email ( blacklight-developm...@googlegroups.com ) or on IRC ( http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=blacklight ) - Jessie Keck Software Developer Stanford University

Re: [CODE4LIB] links from finding aid to digital object
Hi Ed, Apologies if any of my Stanford cohorts have informed you about the Bassi Veratti Collection Site ( http://bv.stanford.edu ) we created here last year using Blacklight. You can drill down into boxes and folders of each of the Series in the Content inventory ( http://bv.stanford.edu/en/inventory ). In each folder you will find thumbnails of various items that then link to a full description and digital image. We are hosting the EAD on GitHub if you're interested in looking at the original XML ( https://github.com/sul-dlss/bassi-ead-xml ). I would be more than happy to explain more about the background if it's useful. Hope that helps! - Jessie On Jan 14, 2014, at 7:38 AM, Edward Summers e...@pobox.com wrote: Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can point me at example(s) of finding aids (either EAD XML or HTML) that are linked to digital object of some kind. For example a container list that links to a digital image that is available on the Web. I’m doing a bit of an informal survey so if you see someone has responded, but you have a different example please send it along either here on list or to me directly. Thanks! //Ed PS. sorry for the duplication.
Re: [CODE4LIB] very large image display?
Hi Jonathan, We’ve been using OpenSeadragon recently. We’ve implemented this in Spotlight as well as have been using it in redesign of SearchWorks. You can get more info on OSD at http://openseadragon.github.io/ and the ruby-gem that we’ve been using at https://github.com/IIIF/openseadragon-rails I believe this will work not only w/ large images, but specified tiles, as well as a IIIF support out-of-the-box. - Jessie On Jul 25, 2014, at 8:36 AM, Jonathan Rochkind rochk...@jhu.edu wrote: Does anyone have a good solution to recommend for display of very large images on the web? I'm thinking of something that supports pan and scan, as well as loading only certain tiles for the current view to avoid loading an entire giant image. A URL to more info to learn about things would be another way of answering this question, especially if it involves special server-side software. I'm not sure where to begin. Googling around I can't find any clearly good solutions. Has anyone done this before and been happy with a solution? Thanks for any info! Jonathan
Re: [CODE4LIB] Cleaning up code4lib.org
On Sep 10, 2014, at 8:13 AM, Chris Beer ch...@cbeer.info wrote: Thanks Stuart. I've found that same behavior on a couple other pages. The data was all there, and either a configuration or caching issue stopped it from displaying, but it should be OK now. I updated code4lib.org from Drupal 4 to Drupal 7 (or, from 4 to 5, 5 to 6, cursed Drupal repeatedly, and finally from 6 to 7). As Chris’ office neighbor I can vehemently attest to this. The theme is slightly different (and leaves something to be desired). I've pushed the theme to github, in case someone wants to take a stab at doing it better: https://github.com/code4lib/panizzi. The theme is based on a used-to-be-core theme called Chameleon, which provides those lovely table-based layouts. I suspect, should someone be interested in making bigger changes, it would be worth some time finding a slightly more modern base theme (perhaps one that is mobile-friendly). I also updated wiki.code4lib.org to Mediawiki 1.23.3 (as the thing I wanted to do in the first place..), all to get decent infobox support and a couple other new features. So, let me know if you spot any other problems. Thanks, Chris
