Dear AtoM Community

I created a new full-width theme based on the default arDominionB5Plugin with enhanced navigation and viewing capabilities specifically for archival descriptions with images.

Full Width Layout
  • All containers utilize 100% width for maximum use of available space
  • container-xxlcontainer-fluid in all layout files
  • container-xlcontainer-fluid in header (Site Description Bar)
  • SCSS overrides set all .container* classes to max-width: 100%
  • Header and wrapper adjustments for consistent horizontal spacing
  • Optimal padding for various screen sizes
GLightbox Image Viewer
  • Images in the .ooo class open in a modern lightbox instead of a new tab
  • Zoom functionality (mouse wheel)
  • Pan/drag images with mouse
  • Keyboard navigation (arrow keys, ESC to close)
  • Touch support for tablets/smartphones (swipe, pinch-to-zoom)
  • Responsive and accessible
Sibling Navigation
  • Previous/Next buttons below the image display for navigating through sibling descriptions
  • Shows current position within parent archival unit (e.g., "2 of 5")
  • Navigation directly in the lightbox:
    • Arrows left and right of the image for Previous/Next
    • Image number and link to open in separate tab directly in the image description
    • The detail page of the archival description behind the lightbox is automatically loaded, so when closing the lightbox, the current page is displayed
Internationalization (i18n)
  • German and English translations for all plugin-specific texts
You can download it here:

All other info in the README.

Suggestions for improvement and other feedback are always welcome.

Best regards, Roger

Thanks for sharing, Roger! I've added the custom theme details to the community resources page on the AtoM wiki. https://wiki.accesstomemory.org/wiki/Community/Community_resources/Development

If you want me to add anything else, please let me know.

Hi Roger,

Happy to remind you of it! I find it is buried a few pages down in the wiki and so not the easiest to find. I am hoping to change that so it can be kept up to date. If you have any other contributions for it, or come across any, do let me know!

Best wishes,
Sarah
