Web3 Wrapper System
Custom Unit Content: Unit Goldbar
The wrapper system allows the web developer to include customized content on all pages of a unit.
| VAR | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
UNIT_GOLDBAR |
Path to included document | If included, the wrapper implements the content within the goldbar navigational unit. |
To create a custom Unit goldbar file, create a file containing a valid XHTML Ordered List (OL). Please note: Because this file is going to be included INTO an existing web page, it does not require all the formal XHTML document tags, such as <html>, <head> and <body>.
<li><a href="PATH TO OPTION ONE">OPTION ONE</a></li>
<li><a href="PATH TO OPTION TWO">OPTION TWO</a></li>
<li><a href="PATH TO OPTION THREE">OPTION THREE</a></li>
<li><a href="PATH TO OPTION FOUR">OPTION FOUR</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="PATH TO OPTION LAST">OPTION LAST</a></li>
</ol>
NOTE The example above contains a Web3 stylistic preference. By default, any LI occuring within the uncgNav (Goldbar) block is stylized with a dotted right border. The presence of the CSS class="last" in the LI tag causes the browser to NOT give that specific LI a dotted right border.
Place the file in your unit's inc_unit directory.
Implement the UNIT_GOLDBAR variable in your unit_variables.html page and designate the file via its path as the value of the variable.
The Office for Left-handed Students
Having decided to not utilize the default values for the Goldbar, and properly understanding the Web3 Unit Requirement's restrictions, the Office for Left-hand Students creates a custom Goldbar navigation:
<li><a href="/olh/lefty/">ESPECIALLY FOR LEFTIES</a></li>
<li><a href="/olh/righty/">ESPECIALLY FOR RIGHTIES</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="/olh/ambidextrous/">AMBIDEXTRI</a></li>
</ol>
The Office for Left-handed Students implements the UNIT_GOLDBAR variable in its unit_variables.html page and designates the file via it's path as the value of the variable.
