Course Catalog

Initial Setup

The course catalog skeleton is designed to be compatible with the implementation skeleton.

Notes

• Turn OFF BM.
• Use Page Relative Links for all files Except current/_config.pcf and /_resources/*

Instructions

• Download and upload implementation skeleton files.
• Download and upload course catalog skeleton files.
• Publish current/_data and current/_config.pcf

Note, if adding a catalog to an existing project that follows closely with the existing implementation skeleton, you can follow these steps:

• Download _resources directory of the current site.
• Create new site in OU Campus.
• Upload _resources directory from the old site.
• Upload course catalog skeleton.
• Publish current/_data and current/_config.pcf
• Check PCFs for errors - most common will be differences in filenames in imported XSLs.

Organization

The XSLs directory is split into different sections based on output type.

Shared (catalog/_shared)

• properties-preview.xsl (friendly display for various file types with no output, only page parameters)
• variables.xsl (global variables for the course catalog)

Web (catalog/web)

These XSLs import main website XSLs whenever possible. These files should exist one folder above /_resources/xsl/catalog.

• common.xsl (imports main website XSLs and shared template matches for web output)
• courses-by-subject.xsl (display courses from specific subject based on subject id, eg. 'ACC')
• courses-index.xsl (displays all subjects with link to that subject's page)
• interior.xsl (generic page)

PDF (catalog/pdf)

For "/pdf/", there are several utility XSL files that: read user input data for PDF content, and define transformations between html and xml to xsl:fo.

• common.xsl (global xsl:fo templates)
• courses-by-subject.xsl (display courses from specific subject based on subject id, eg. 'ACC')
• courses-index.xsl (displays all courses from all subjects)
• full-pdf.xsl (outer pdf structure for full pdf, table of contents, and transformations for regulatory pages and course pages)
• full-xml.xsl (creates xml based off of the selected regulatory pages/directories)
• full-xml-preview.xsl (stylesheet for user to preview generated XML)
• regulatory.xsl (pdf output for individual regulatory pcfs)

PDF _shared

• html-to-xslfo.xsl (transforms html in regulatory pages to xsl:fo)
• functions.xsl (functions used by pdf utility xsls)
• style.xsl (font, color, etc. attributes for formatting)
