General adjustments to top menu and list of results

[CarlsoFiorention]

• Arrange the top menu closer to original design: accommodate buttons to take half of the height of current version, distribute alignment buttons from left to right consistently, eliminate rounded corners, integrate widgets menu to the top menu
• add breadcrumb function
• replace individual "Abstract" buttons by activating items (clicking or hoovering) extracted to #39
• make canlink logo a shortcut to the homepage
• may "creator" be replaced by "author" and an additional button added for "supervisors"?

Please change Creator to Author. Do not add Supervisor at this stage as we are determining feasibility based on the data. This may be for future work.

There are a few distinct things here. The breadcrumbs for example could be something quite a bit more complicated and could take days (or longer). I would suggest that be broken out and moved quite a ways down the list, simply because it could end up using up a lot of hours. It will mean incorporating and managing state - all of course doable, but with testing refinement, etc. it could take a long time. Rough estimate on that: a week.

The creator/author/supervisor question: The data from solr only seems to show creator:

{ "id":"http://canlink.library.ualberta.ca/thesis/d1a06e73e27c68f5e92b8085fe31c20a", "year":[2011], "title":["The high energy logarithms in two loop electroweak Bhabha scattering"], "institution":["http://canlink.library.ualberta.ca/institution/University_of_Alberta"], "creator_url":["http://canlink.library.ualberta.ca/person/8434d77f4f389a5a76c17f5a05f605aa"], "creator":["Ryan Geoffrey"], "lang":["http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/iso639-2/eng"], "creator_first":["Geoffrey"], "creator_last":["Ryan"], "subject":["particle physics", "standard model", "bhabha scattering", "sudakov logarithms", "two loop", "electroweak processes"], "abstract":["Bhabha Scattering is the scattering of an electron off of a positron; it is everywhere in particle physics and plays a special role in particle phenomenology. Its particular use as a luminosity measure in particle colliders gives great motivation to reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the cross section. We calculate the two loop contribution to Bhabha scattering from high energy Sudakov logarithms. This contribution reduces the overall uncertainty in the cross section to one per mille, the necessary level for use\nat the ILC."],

We'd have to change this to include supervisor in the SOLR fields. Once that was done an estimate might be 1 day to add new drop down, and icorporate that into the search call.

For the other changes in here, I'd estimate a day, but as Sharon has pointed out, when some changes might end up consuming a lot of time (fiddling to get alignment, etc. right), a feedback loop is critical to decide what should be done/not done.

[sfarnel]

The Solr field is indeed "creator" but we would like the label on the interface to be "Author", so it is not asking for different/new data but rather a different label for the end user. As noted in other issues, we will need to leave Supervisor aside for now as we do not have the data question answered fully.

[jchartrand]

Sorry Sharon, I replied to the original request to add supervisor, without having first read your comment. My mistake.
