  • <WebZ_root> is the location of your WebZ environment.
  • 4.0.x refers to any SiteSearch 4 version prior to 4.1.0; that is, 4.0.0, 4.0.0a, 4.0.1, or 4.0.2.
  • 4.1.x refers to SiteSearch 4.1.0 and 4.1.1.

Introduction

This document is a reference to the sections in the interface display configuration files shipped with SiteSearch 4 versions as part of the WebZ Out-of-the-Box Interface (OBI):

  • SiteSearch 4.1.xOBI, version 1
    • <WebZ_root>/ini/interface/obiv1/frameDisplayGadgets.ini (for a frames-based interface)
    • <WebZ_root>/ini/interface/obiv1/noframeDisplayGadgets.ini (for a no-frames interface)
  • SiteSearch 4.1.xOBI, version 0
    • <WebZ_root>/ini/interface/obiv0/DisplayGadgets.ini
  • SiteSearch 4.0.x
    • <WebZ_root>/ini/interface/DisplayGadgets.ini
Notes:   

(1) Although the OBI, version 0 is essentially the same as the OBI shipped with SiteSearch 4.0.2, there are some differences in the DisplayGadgets.ini files in the OBI, version 0 and SiteSearch 4.0.2. These differences are primarily due to the rules-based formatting introduced with SiteSearch 4.1.0. Therefore, this document indicates whether a particular section (and the Java class referenced in that section) pertains to the OBI, version 0 or SiteSearch 4.0.x.
 

(2) In the OBI, version 1, frameDisplayGadgets.ini and noframeDisplayGadgets.ini generally contain the same sections, but the fmt variable often refers to a format specific to a frames-based or no-frames interface, respectively.

This document provides an alphabetical index to the sections in interface display configuration files and descriptions of each section classified by type (gadget specifications and data wrapper specifications). Within each type, the sections are classified by their function in the interface.

For general information about interface display configuration files and their role in building the WebZ interface, see About Interface Display Configuration Files. For an example of an interface display configuration file, see Interface Display Configuration File Example. To learn about the role of interface display configuration files in rules-based formatting, see Display Formatting Configuration Files.


Organization of Interface Display Configuration Files

Interface display configuration files contain a number of sections. The interface display configuration files for all SiteSearch versions contain gadget specifications. Beginning with SiteSearch 4.1.0, interface display configuration files also contain data wrapper specifications.

The sections can appear in any order, although a useful convention is to list the gadget specifications and then the data wrapper specifications.


Alphabetical Section Reference

This is a quick reference (arranged alphabetically) to the sections in interface display gadgets configuration files shipped with the WebZ OBI. The links in this section are shortcuts to specific information about a section:


Gadget Specification Descriptions by Function

This section contains a list of all gadget specifications in the interface display configuration files shipped with the OBI, version 1, OBI, version 0 and SiteSearch 4.0.x versions. The gadget specifications are classified according to their function in the interface, as follows:

The information provided about each section includes its name, purpose, and the gadget it references. In addition to the section name, the Section column indicates whether the section pertains to the OBI, version 1 (frameDisplayGadgets.ini and noframeDisplayGadgets.ini), OBI, version 0 (DisplayGadgets.ini), or SiteSearch 4.0.x (DisplayGadgets.ini). In the Gadget Referenced column of this document, the gadget pertains to all versions unless otherwise indicated.

Every gadget specification has a gadget variable that references a particular gadget in the ORG.oclc.gadgets package and usually has a fmt or fmtclass variable. In the OBI, version 1, and OBI, version 0, a gadget specification also has a data wrapper specification. Gadget specifications may also have other variables that contain values needed as input by the gadget referenced in the specification. (See the gadget specifications in Interface Display Configuration File Example). Within a section, the fmt or fmt class may vary between versions, as do the other variables and the gadget referenced.

Note: 

(1) You can find the HTML files mentioned in this section in the following directories:

Version    Location
OBI, version 1   <WebZ_root>/htdocs/obiv1/html
OBI, version 0   <WebZ_root>/htdocs/obiv0/html
SiteSearch 4.0.x   <WebZ_root>/htdocs/html
(2) In the OBI, version 1, HTML files that begin with the letters "nf" are specific to a no-frames interface.

Data Wrapper Specifications by Function

This section contains a list of all data wrapper specifications in the interface display configuration files shipped with the OBI version 1 and the OBI, version 0. Data wrapper specifications were introduced with SiteSearch 4.1.0 and do not apply to SiteSearch 4.0.x versions. Even though the OBI, version 0 is essentially the same as SiteSearch 4.0.2, the interface display configuration file in the OBI, version 0 (DisplayGadgets.ini ) includes data wrapper specifications so that they can work properly with the database configuration files shipped with SiteSearch 4.1.x versions. The database configuration files refer to formatting configuration files rather than formatting classes for various record types. The formatting configuration files refer to the data wrapper specifications so the DisplayGadgets.ini file for the OBI, version 0 must contain them.

The data wrapper specifications are classified according to their function in the interface, as follows:

The information provided about each data wrapper specification includes its name, purpose, and the gadget specification(s) that reference it. In addition to the section name, the Section column indicates whether the section pertains to the OBI, version 1 (frameDisplayGadgets.ini and noframeDisplayGadgets.ini) or OBI, version 0 (DisplayGadgets.ini). Although the section names are the same across OBI versions, individual variables and the value of the data wrapper variables in a section may vary between versions and between frameDisplayGadgets.ini and noframeDisplayGadgets.ini in the OBI, version 1.
