Photos and Brag Points widget

The KU Photos and Brag Points widget lets you pull in a photo slideshow and/or paginated brag points for a school or department at KU. All schools are available, and all departments that have migrated to the new online brochures format are also available.

Here's a basic example showing both the photos and brag points for the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences:

Several settings help you customize the widget, and every element of its HTML output is thoroughly classed, making it easy to restyle via CSS to fit your site's design. The image slideshow and the brag points' pagination use standard JQuery plugins and can be customized.

To include the widget on your site, you will need to use SSI, have KU's "contained" version of JQuery turned on (it's on by default), and be on a central KU webserver such as www2.ku.edu. From there, it's a three-step process:

  1. a) If your "otherheaderinfo" setting isn't already in use, adding this setting before you call your KU header will do most of the work for you: 
    <!--#set var="otherheaderinfo" value="/~distinction/cgi-bin/mybragpoints_otherheaderinfo.shtml -->
    b) If your "otherheaderinfo" setting is in use or if you want to control which styles and libraries are loaded, you can add each of these files individually (preferably through the "pagecss" and "pagejs" settings, or in your existing "otherheaderinfo' setting: 
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/~distinction/cgi-bin/assets/css/distinction_widget.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://webmedia.ku.edu/js/jqueryplugins/jquery.cycle.all-2.71.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www2.ku.edu/~distinction/cgi-bin/assets/js/widgetpaginate.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
$kuj(document).ready(function() {
	$kuj('.bragpoints_images').cycle({
		fx: 'fade',
        speed: 2000,
        timeout: 4500
	});
	var count = $kuj('.bragpoints_images').children().length;
	if (count > 3) {
        $kuj(function(){
            var wrap = $kuj('.bragpoints_points');
            $kuj('.prev').click(function(){
                wrap.trigger('prev.evtpaginate');
                return false;
            });
            $kuj('.next').click(function(){
                wrap.trigger('next.evtpaginate');
                return false;
            });
            wrap.bind( 'initialized.evtpaginate', function(e, startnum, totalnum ){
                $kuj('#count').text(startnum);
                $kuj('#total').text(totalnum);
            });
            wrap.bind( 'finished.evtpaginate', function(e, num, isFirst, isLast ){ $kuj('#count').text(num); } ); 	
            wrap.evtpaginate({perPage:3});
        });
	}	
});
</script>
  2. Place the following code in the body of your page, wherever you want the widget to appear:
    <!--#set var="bragpoints_sccode" value="SCCODE_GOES_HERE" -->
<!--#include virtual="/~distinction/cgi-bin/mybragpoints.shtml" -->
    Note: you must set the bragpoints_sccode for your school or department, or the widget won't show anything. See the first setting below to find your code.

  3. Choose from the settings below to customize how the information is displayed.

Settings

These settings must be placed on your page above the include statement. You will likely want to add this in your header file.
