Planned features

  • Easy co-branding
  • Search on more metadata fields

To-do list

  • Fix search by license (server side)
  • More documentation

Changes in version 1.3

  • New configuration option startHidden to hide the widget when first loaded, and only become visible if search results are found.
  • New configuration option headerUrl to specify an optional header graphic to use instead of the default graphic. (Header image size is 200x66 pixels when using the stock SMILE CSS file).
  • New default header graphic, and CSS bottom border on graphic instead of border as part of the image itself.
  • CSS changes so search bar will fit better in widgets that don't use the default 200px width.

  • Server side changes

Changes in version 1.2

  • New skin to better match howtosmile.org website
  • Optional persistent search bar to allow users to enter a term to refine search beyond pre-defined search parameters
  • Deprecated method setConfig(). (Doesn't seem to be a need for configuration after initialization, so configure the widget when calling initWidget() instead.)

Changes in version 1.1.1

  • Updated search URL to access new smile url (without "beta.")
  • Changed header graphic

Changes in version 1.1

  • Updated URLs to SMILE page with node-id instead of dds id
  • API Incompatibility with previous versions (1.0.x): initWidget now takes a configuration object as it's 3rd parameter instead of the boolean 'deferSearch'. (deferSearch is now a member of the configurable options). See documentation for information about configuration options.

  • Server side changes

Changes in version 1.0.1

  • Updated for new backend handling of images
