Priority 1 (highest) thru 6, unrated means we will reevaluate once the prioritized requests are completed.
| Priority | Request | Description | Requestors | Related Issues |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | accessibility | Be sure that Spotlight Exhibits meets accessibility requirements and meets a required minimum SiteImprove score | Ken Williams, Eveline Ferretti | Spotlight 3.0 addresses many accessibility issues. Under evaluation. |
| 2 | Better landing page | Can landing page (exhibits.library.cornell.edu) be organized differently? Currently already looking quite cluttered, which will only get worse as more exhibits are added. Suggest better presentation of exhibit categories/tags (maybe with brief descriptive text?) and then show only three actual exhibit tiles, in rotation (so all exhibits have equal chance of being featured; alternatively, limit to 4 most recent exhibits). | Eveline Ferretti | |
| 3 | more tabs on main menu | Want to be able to add additional tabs (aka page types) to the navigation menu. Currently, you are limited to the four tabs "Home" "Browse" "About" "Features". (Note from Eveline: I believe Spotlight currently limit to 3 tabs only, right? Can be named anything but only three allowed on horizontal navigation bar for any given exhibit; can this be expanded at least to 4, but ideally more) | Rachel Getman Eveline Ferretti | Spotlight/#2562 (browse groups adds tabs to Browse page); Spotlight/#2237 (main nav menu) |
| 4 | connection to other repos | For example, CUL digital collections portal, Shared Shelf, eCommons, Flicker, etc. | Ken Rozyn, Ken Williams | There are plans to explore this. |
| 5 | more granular control of widgets | For example, I’d like to control the way that a mosaic view breaks into rows and columns (as is, it’s kind of random- e.g., I have two pages in the same exhibit where there’s a single image that displays on a bottom row. On one page, it’s centered – on the other, it’s in the rightmost column). | Ken Rozyn | |
| 6* | reconciled exhibits page | Need a main page that includes all exhibits regardless of which infrastructure was used to create the exhibit. | Ken Williams, Marcie Farwell | |
| multiple images for one item | Would like to have multiple images for a single item. For example, a garment can have front, back, and side images for a single garment which represent a single item. A potential alternative would be to create a Giphy with each of the images. NOTE: This wouldn't work for items with many images and may has accessibility problems. | Denise Green, Ken Rozyn, Ken Williams | Spotlight/#851 | |
| import/display PDFs | Ken Rozyn | Spotlight/#1946 | ||
| support for a/v files as items | Videos are supported through embed and iFrames. we would like to be able to upload these kinds of files as items themselves. | Denise Green, Ken Rozyn, Emily Zinger, Pheobe Kowalewski | ||
| include more than two metadata fields on page with accompanying item | Currently if a creator wants to include more metadata for an item on an exhibit page they have to create a separate text field on that page, rather than simply pulling in the metadata automatically. | Pheobe Kowalewski | ||
| Aesthetics of item pages are clunky | We would like to be able to change the size of an image to make more strategic use of white space on an item level page, rather than being restricted to the default size of a bounding box. And we would like all text to be justified left. | Emily Zinger, Pheobe Kowalewski, Craig Mains, Eveline Ferretti | ||
| Make bounding boxes responsive to size of images | If an image is particularly large (either horizontally or vertically), the boudning box scrunches it while leaving a lot of unused white space on an item page. We also do not like how the bounding box always displays grey borders around images. We would like the option to make the box transparent. | Craig Mains | ||
| support TIFF images | I think support for this is similar to support for PDF files | Ken Rozyn | ||
| delete exhibits | This exists, but is limited to super-admins. Curators must request an exhibit be deleted. They can mark it as unpublished. | Ken Rozyn | ||
| delete items | Once uploaded Spotlight, does not allow an item to be deleted. This was a general design decision by the Spotlight developers because in some cases, an item can be used in multiple exhibits. That does not apply to uploaded images, so there is an opportunity to explore making a change for this. | Rachel Getman, Ken Rozyn | Spotlight/#1678 (for deleting items when an exhibit is deleted); Spotlight/#843 (discussion of why not to delete items) | |
| sub-menus on left hand side | Can you have a hierarchical side menu? | Ken Williams | ||
| bulk tagging | Ken Rozyn | Spotlight/#2346 | ||
| image cropping in widgets | Ken Rozyn | Spotlight/#1663 (not exactly the same issue) | ||
| exhibit-specific theme engine | Ken Rozyn | |||
| copyright | Define policy related to assuring copyright is attained, include notice in Spotlight where images are uploaded about how to deal with copyright, and answer other questions related to copyright. Must have a way to remove all access to an item if it is determined copyright is not valid, or if limited time access. NOTE: This can be done manually now by unchecking the published box for an item. Need copyright metadata field to be default across all exhibits. | Steven Calco, Eveline Ferretti, Emily Zinger, Craig Mains | ||
| embargo/lease | To facilitate the availability of content related to copyright restrictions, it would be good to have the ability to set an embargo (date an item becomes visible) and a lease (date an item ceases to be visible). NOTE: This can be done manually now by unchecking the published box for an item. | Ken Williams | ||
| related items | Links to other items that are related to the current item. NOTE: This can be achieved by adding a custom metadata field to an exhibit. | Ken Williams | ||
| Fix the recurrent glitchiness in image appearance | Some of Mann's published exhibits seem to be susceptible to broken image display. Can we figure out why this happens so we can address within the given exhibit. See https://exhibits.library.cornell.edu/cider for current problem (that exhibit was fine a couple of weeks ago, now not working...) | Eveline Ferretti | ||
| analytics for each exhibit | Dashboard currently showing no data. Can we get this to work again? (Earlier request, from a time when the Dashboard was working: "The current dashboard shows site wide exhibits with a list of stats for the top 25 visited exhibits. This includes total Pageviews and BounceRate for each exhibit that is in the top 25. The summary information includes all exhibits, but you can't get any information beyond pageviews and bounce rate for each individual exhibit. The request is to expand the dashboard to include a separate page for each exhibit that will have exhibit specific stats.") | Eveline Ferretti | ||
| Completed | ||||
| bulk upload | Want to upload many items and their metadata from a spreadsheet. NOTE: This already exists. It was broken for a long time, but was fixed during the upgrade to Spotlight 2.13.0. | Ken Williams | Issue #178 | |
