Output more modern HTML and allow more flexible styling

reinhard-mueller commented 2 months ago

If you are interested, I would offer to work on the following steps:

[ ] Change the HTML output from the very old-style table structure to a modern structure using HTML5 elements like <header>, <nav>, <main>, and <footer> and the float and/or flex CSS features.
[ ] Use a clearly-defined and documented set of classes for the HTML elements.
[ ] Allow for a custom site-specific CSS by which the site administrator can implement the complete look and feel as desired, while keeping backwards compatibilty to the current layout settings in case there's no site-specific CSS defined.
[ ] Allow the HTML of the page header and footer to be modified (within limits) by the site administrator to add even more flexibility for the look and feel.
[ ] Maybe come up with a Bootstrap based standard CSS to make openbiblio (at least the opac part) responsive and better usable on mobile devices.

Please let me know what you think.

Hallo, willkommen beim wiederbelebten openBiblio-Projekt. Wir sind über jede Mithilfe dankbar. Das Erscheinungsbild zu überarbeiten und zu modernisieren wäre super.

viele Grüße Michael Blumöhr

Hi,

ich antworte mal auf deutsch, da hier eh fast alle deutsch sprechen, ich denke mal du ja auch? :) (ist gerade einfacher)

Sehr gerne. Ich würde aber auch hier empfehlen, dass wir auf die Version von @375michael40veit warten (siehe https://github.com/Larian77/Openbiblio/issues/15), weil er hier auch schon begonnen hat das Design zu ändern, damit wir am Ende auf ein gemeinsames Design herauskommen :-)

What is everyone's opinion on moving to AdminLTE (and bootstrap) for UI? you can preview the various UI elements here I think I might be able to handle the majority of the changes as I have used this in a few projects
