Step 1: add a rewriting authentication alias to the configuration:
RewriteEngine on
- RewriteRule /spauth/ http://sp-mkws.indexdata.com/service-proxy/?command=auth&action=check,login&username=U&password=PW [P]
+ RewriteRule /spauth/ http://sp-mkws.indexdata.com/service-proxy/\
+ ?command=auth&action=check,login&username=U&password=PW [P]
Step 2: set the MKWS configuration item `service_proxy_auth` to
`http://yourname.com/spauth/`.
widget be subclassed to store the generated widget
definitions in more useful places.
+`button` The search button. Usually generated a `search`
+ widget.
+
`categories` Obtains from the Service Proxy a list of the target
categories associated with the library in use, and
displays them in a drop-down list. When a category
be changed by overriding the `done` template using
`<script class="mkws-template-done" type="text/x-handlebars-template">`.
-`facet` x
+`facet` A facet that displays the frequency with which a set
+ of terms occur within a specific field. The specific
+ field whose contents are analysed must be specified
+ by the widget's `facet` configuration item, which
+ may conveniently be done by means of the
+ `data-mkws-facet` attribute on the HTML
+ element. The supported facets are "subject",
+ "author" and "xtargets" -- the latter a special case
+ which treats the target providing a record as a
+ facet. Most often, `facet` widgets are generated
+ by a `facets` widget, which knows which facets are
+ required, but they can also be placed individually.
+
+`facets` An area that contains a "Facets" heading and several
+ `facet` widgets. The set of facet widgets generated
+ is specified by the `facets` configuration item,
+ which may be set globally or at the level of the
+ widget or the team. The value of this configuration
+ item is an array of zero or more strings, each
+ naming a facet.
+
+`google-image` A specialisation of the `images` widget which
+ defaults to the `Google_Images` target.
+
+`images` A specialisation of the `records` widget which
+ defaults to the `images` template. Unlike the default
+ summary template, this displays an image from the
+ URL specified by the `md-thumburl` field of each
+ record.
+
+`lang` Provides a selection between the supported set of
+ languages (which defaults to English, German and
+ Danish, but can be configured by the `lang`
+ configuration item, whose value is an array of
+ two-letter language codes).
+
+`log` Initially empty, this widget accumulates a log of
+ messages generated by the widget set, similar to
+ those emitted on the JavaScript console.
+
+`lolcat` A specialisation of the `google-image` widget which
+ defaults to the search-term "kitteh" and
+ auto-executes.
+
+`motd-container` An empty container which the `motd` widget, if any,
+ is moved into for initial display. Usually generated
+ as part of the `results` widget.
+
+`motd` May be provided, containing content to appear in the
+ area where records will later appear. It is moved
+ into this area (the `motd-container` widget) and
+ initially displayed; then hidden when the first
+ search is run. It can be used to provide a "message
+ of the day".
+
+`navi` Shows a list of the facets that have been selected,
+ and allows them to be deselected.
+
+`pager` Shows a list of the available pages of results, and
+ allows the user to navigate to a selected page.
+
+`per-page` Provides a dropdown allowing the user to choose how
+ many records should appear on each page. The
+ available set of page-sizes can be set as the
+ `perpage_options` configuration item, whose value is
+ an array of integers. The initial selected value can
+ be set by the `perpage_default` configuration item.
+
+`progress` Shows a progress bar which indicates how many of the
+ targets have responded to the search.
+
+`query` The input area for a query. Usually generated a `search`
+ widget.
-`facets` x
+`ranking` The result-ranking area, consisting of a `sort`
+ widget and a `per-page` widget. These may instead
+ be specified separately if preferred.
+
+`record` A detailed display of a single record, usually
+ appearing when the user clicks on a summary
+ record. This is generated by the `records` widget.
+
+`records` The area in which summary records appear. (Clicking
+ on a summary record make it pop up as a detailed
+ record.)
+
+`reference` A short summary about a subject specified by the
+ `autosearch` configuration item. This is created by
+ drawing a picture and a paragraph of text from
+ Wikipedia. To work correctly, this widget must be
+ used in a library that provides the
+ `wikimedia_wikipedia_single_result` target.
+
+`results` A large compound widget used to provide the most
+ important results-oriented widgets in a pre-packaged
+ framework: `facets`, `ranking`, `pager`, `navi` and
+ `records`.
+
+`search-form` The search form, containing the query area and the
+ button. Usually generated a `search` widget.
+
+`search` The search box, consisting of a form containing a
+ query area and a button.
+
+`sort` Provides a dropdown allowing the user to choose how
+ the displayed records should be sorted. The
+ available set of sort criteria can be set as the
+ `sort_options` configuration item, whose value is
+ an array of two-element arrays. The first item of
+ each sub-array is a pazpar2 sort-expression such as
+ `data:0` and the second is a human-readable label
+ such as `newest`. The initial selected
+ value can be set by the `sort_default` configuration
+ item.
+
+`stat` A summary line stating how many targets remain
+ active, how many records have been found, and how
+ many of them have been retrieved for display. For
+ most purposes, the `progress` widget may be
+ preferable.
+
+`summary` A short record, included in the list shown when a
+ search is run. When clicked, this generally pops up
+ a detailed `record` widget. This widget is generated
+ by the toolkit in response to search results.
+
+`switch` A pair of buttons allowing the user to switch
+ between viewing the search results (the usual case)
+ or the target list.
+
+`targets` A list of all targets in the present library,
+ showing their ID, the number of records they have
+ found for the current search, any diagnostics they
+ have returned, the number of records that have been
+ returned for display, and the connection state.

+Configuration settings
+----------------------
-`lang` x
+Configuration settings may be provided at the level of a indiviual widget, or a team, or globally. Per-widget configuration is
+described above; per-team settings can be placed in a `config` widget belonging to the relevant team, and will be applied to that
+team as a whole; and global settings are provided in the global variable `mkws_config`. This structure is a key-value lookup
+table, and may specify the values of many settings.
-`log` x
+Some settings apply only to specific widgets; others to the behaviour of the tookit as a whole. When a widget does not itself have
+a value specified for a particular configuration setting, its team is consulted; and if that also does not have a value, the global
+settings are consulted. Only if this, too, is unspecified, is the default value used.
-`lolcat` x
+The supported configuration settings are described in the table below. For those settings that apply only to particular widgets,
+the relevant widgets are listed. All entries are optional, but if specified must be given values of the specified type. Long
+default values are in footnotes to keep the table reasonably narrow.
