4.  Template discussion

   a.  Kathy Haq wondered if we could apply new UCI template.

   b.  Sherry Main looked at the UCPath test site and said the layout did look a lot like the new one with top nav being the important element.  It appears that the new template won't be ready for another month or so. Todd McGill will let me have new banner (no seal) when that happens.

  c. For now we'll stay with existing template .

5.  Index pages for Top Nav (Global Nav) categories

   a. Created index pages / landing pages per Kathy's request

 6.  Links on Left Nav

     a.  Kathy requested links for  UCPath Center and About per e-mail

      7. a. Single column of links was unsatisfactory - too long

           b.  Attempted to place months in a table format .  This was unsatisfactory as the table was too cramped and hard to follow.

     7. c.  Kathy requested a page with PDF appearing in the center column and a right column 

         d. Confirmed that this is not easily done as the PDF opens a new window .

          e.  Alternative suggestions for Progress Reports page

                    i.  Some users may not have Acrobat reader  therefore links are usually provided

                     ii.  See Santa Cruz website example which may be a better way to resolve this

                        see links for UCPath Status Reports - http://ucpath.ucsc.edu/about/status_reports/index.html

                        and for Weekly Newsletter  -    http://ucpath.ucsc.edu/about/progress_reports/index.html

Opens to new page for each month - http://ucpath.ucsc.edu/about/progress_reports/september_progress.html

           f..  Note:  On UC Santa Cruz website the PDFs open to new window.

in consultation w/ Ying.

1. Kathy requested different color for hyperlinks in text for greater visibility.
2. Added the following code to
   i.  Added whiteBkgd to Template - 2 col - 

   <div class="column2wide divHeader bkgd_gradient2 whiteBkgd"><system-region name="DEFAULT"/>

       ii.  Tweaked White Background code in Core Styles - v4 by changing HEX color to 2266BB

and commenting out first section:

3.  Follow steps on creating the hyperlink color.

1.  This now displays blue in published version.

1.  Mozilla and Google Chrome both display the center column moved down.
2. Check with   Div? and 'float' as well as px and %?

1. Checked on Google Chrome > Inspect Element (right mouse click)
2. When changing whiteBkgd for hyperlink color in CoreStyles, also need to update the theme1.css
3. Comment out same section under Feature (as done under White Background Stuff in CoreStyles file), i.e., as follows:

/*

div.whiteBkgd {

  padding: 8px 16px;

}

*/

4. Save. Publish site and check that page is in right position in Mozilla and Chrome.
