-This directory contains an embryonic MasterKey Widget Set. The initial
-version was based on the "jsdemo" application distributed with
-pazpar2, but it is now far removed from those beginnnings.
+Introduction
+------------
+This is the MasterKey Widget Set. The initial version was based on the
+"jsdemo" application distributed with pazpar2, but it is now far
+removed from those beginnnings.
-How this works
---------------
-
-The goal is to make it that as much of the searching functionality as
-possible is hosted on
+As much of the searching functionality as possible is hosted on
<http://mkws.indexdata.com/>
so that very simple websites such as
<http://example.indexdata.com/>
can have MasterKey searching with minimal effort.
-The following files are hosted on mkws.indexdata.com:
+The following files are hosted on `mkws.indexdata.com`:
* `mkws.js`
-* `mkwsStyle.css`
-* `/libjs-pz2/pz2api.1.js`
+* `/pazpar2/js/pz2.js`
+* `mkws-complete.js` -- a single file consisting of `mkws.js`,
+ jQuery (which it uses), Handlebars (ditto) and `pz2.js`
+* `mkws.css`
+
-The following files make up an application:

Configuring a client
Prerequisites:
~~~
- <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mkws.indexdata.com/mkwsStyle.css" />
+ <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://mkws.indexdata.com/mkws.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://mkws.indexdata.com/mkws-complete.js"></script>
~~~
* `<div id="mkwsTargets"></div>` -- target list, including status
* `<div id="mkwsStat"></div>` -- summary statistics
-At present, MKWS may not work correctly if some of these are
-missing. One of the TODOs is to fix it so that it doesn't try to use
-whatever is not there, and just uses what is.
-
You can configure and control the client by creating an `mkws_config`
object _before_ loading the widget-set. Here is an example of all
possible options:
~~~
- <script type="text/javascript">
- var mkws_config = {
- use_service_proxy: true, /* true, flase: use service proxy instead pazpar2 */
- switch_menu: true, /* true, false: show/hide Records|Targets menu */
- lang_menu: true, /* true, false: show/hide language menu */
- sort_menu: true, /* true, false: show/hide sort menu */
- perpage_menu: true, /* true, false: show/hide perpage menu */
- lang_display: ["en", "de", "da"], /* display languages links for given
- languages, [] for all */
- facets: ["sources", "subjects", "authors"], /* display facets, in this order, [] for none */
- sort_default: "relevance", /* "relevance", "title:1", "date:0", "date:1" */
- query_width: 50, /* 5..50 */
- perpage_default: 20, /* 10, 20, 30, 50 */
- lang: "en", /* "en", "de", "da" */
- debug: 0, /* debug level for development: 0..2 */
-
- responsive_design: false /* true, false: resize for smaller mobile devices */
- pazpar2_url: "/pazpar2/search.pz2", /* URL */
- service_proxy_url: "/service-proxy/", /* URL */
- service_proxy_auth: "/service-proxy-auth", /* URL */
- };
- </script>
+ <script type="text/javascript">
+ var mkws_config = {
+ use_service_proxy: true, /* true, flase: use service proxy instead pazpar2 */
+ show_lang: true, /* true, false: show/hide language menu */
+ show_sort: true, /* true, false: show/hide sort menu */
+ show_perpage: true, /* true, false: show/hide perpage menu */
+ lang_options: ["en", "de", "da"],
+ /* display languages links for given languages, [] for all */
+ facets: ["sources", "subjects", "authors"],
+ /* display facets, in this order, [] for none */
+ sort_default: "relevance", /* "relevance", "title:1", "date:0", "date:1" */
+ query_width: 50, /* 5..50 */
+ perpage_default: 20, /* 10, 20, 30, 50 */
+ lang: "en", /* "en", "de", "da" */
+ debug_level: 0, /* debug level for development: 0..2 */
+
+ responsive_design_wodth: 600, /* page reflows for devices < 600 pixels wide */
+ pazpar2_url: "/service-proxy/", /* URL */
+ service_proxy_auth: "/service-proxy-auth", /* URL */
+ // TODO: language_*, perpage_options, sort_options
+ };
+ </script>

-jQuery plugin
-------------------
-
-The jQuery plugin version can be used by a single line of JavaScript code:
-
-~~~
- <script>jQuery.pazpar2();</script>
-~~~
-
-put the code in your page at the position where the metasearch should occur.
-
-Here is an example of all possible options
-
-~~~
- jQuery.pazpar2({
- "layout": "popup", /* "table" [default], "div", "popup" */
- "id_button": "input#mkwsButton", /* submit button id in search field */
- "id_popup": "#mkwsPopup", /* interal id of popup window */
- "width": 880, /* popup width, should be at least 800 */
- "height": 760 /* popup height, should be at least 600 */
- });

-New Features since jsdemo
---------------------------
-
-- Multilinguality: English (default), Danish, German
-- Depends on the new pazpar2 JS library libjs-pz2/pz2api.1.js
- which will make the development of pazpar2 plugins faster and
- easier to share code between projects
-- Supports basic pazpar2 and service-proxy requests
-- Simplified HTML
-- The search page is fully configurable by a JSON object

-What next?
-----------
+For much more detail, see
+[the MKWS whitepaper](whitepaper.html).
-Main areas of work:
-* Make MKWS robust to missing widgets
-* Clean up the code
