[librecat-dev] LibreCat UI Documentation

[Patrick Hochstenbach]

Hi Nils

Yes. The code is made for a production environment in Bielefeld. We in Ghent and you in Göttingen want to transform this environment
into something that can be adapted to the layout/backend requirements of our local institutions. This is something that is on the roadmap which I don’t think
is quite hard to do (just go into the templates and change what you need), but requires some coding guides/rules and a generic layout to make this process easier and straightforward for any installation.
 
We are at the moment creating an agenda for Bielefeld and Göttingen and others who are interested, to come together very soon in Ghent and discuss these issues.
Indeed, the UI is now very much targeted to Bielefeld and all of us need a themed approach. We believe all that LibreCat as created by Bielefeld is the way forward and want to contribute to make this happen.

Here is a tentative agenda for our meeting (there is no date yet). Maybe you want to join us, or can elaborate a bit more on the things you would like to see changed?

It’s obvious that Template-Toolkit is used for templating purposes and bootstrap as CSS framework, but I couldn’t find some sort of theming approach (per instituition). It seems that the code is very much tied to University Bielefeld as the master branch contains hard coded links[1].
