Description Wainui Witika-Park 2021-04-07 03:08:18 UTC
Breadcrumbs should adhere to the guidelines in https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/examples/breadcrumb/index.html i.e. be a <nav aria label="Breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb"> with an ordered list inside, with appropriate styling to make it appear as breadcrumbs. It should also have aria-current="page" to specify where the current page is.

Comment 4 Owen Leonard 2021-04-22 12:56:02 UTC
I'm curious about your choice to remove the Bootstrap classes from the markup:

-            <li class="breadcrumb-item" aria-current="page">
+            <li>
+                <a href="#" aria-current="page">
                     Blocked record
+                </a>
             </li>

I see that the "aria-current" information has moved to the link, and that's fine with me--I see that it fits the guidelines better. But I think there is value to keeping the Bootstrap 4 markup classes for consistency's sake and to be able to inherit existing Bootstrap classes.

Hi Owen, thanks for your comment. I was just attempting make it the same as Bug 27846. Please feel free to make any amendments that you believe would work better but that also keep in line with accessibility standards.

Bug 28101: changed styling for breadcrumbs

Updates opac.scss file so the breadcrumbs will appear the same as Bug
27846 (Staff Client breadcrumbs).

This works but the file may need to be changed/cleaned up so that there
is not unnecessary information in it.

Bug 28101: Update breadcrumb markup in the OPAC for consistency and accessibility

Modified breadcrumbs to be accessible, in particular for a
screen-reader. Also ensured the breadcrumbs were all consistent.

Made the block of breadcrumbs to be a <nav id="breadcrumbs"
aria-label="Breadcrumb" class="breadcrumbs"> with an ordered list
inside. The last breadcrumb also has aria-current="page" to specify that
it is the current page.

To test, apply the patch and rebuild the OPAC CSS (https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Working_with_SCSS_in_the_OPAC_and_staff_client)

- Confirm that OPAC templates are updated consistently to use
  breadcrumbs markup beginning with '<nav
  id="breadcrumbs" aria-label="Breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb">'
- Pages in the OPAC should look consistent, with the last breadcrumb
  styled as text and with the "aria-current" attribute "page."

Comment 11 Jonathan Druart 2021-10-25 12:27:44 UTC
In the first patch there is a li::before with a svg image background (that is the ">" I think). However I am not seeing it, it's still "/", not ">" like on the staff interface.

Am I reading wrongly those changes?

Bug 28101: (follow-up) Correct breadcrumb divider image

This patch corrects the CSS for generating a chevron-style divider
between breadcrumb items. The CSS copied from staff-global.scss needed
some tweaks to make it work in the OPAC with Bootstrap 4.

Also changed: The Base64-encoded SVG is converted to plain based on
https://css-tricks.com/probably-dont-base64-svg/

Pushed to master for 21.11, thanks to everybody involved!
Comment 16 Jonathan Druart 2021-10-25 14:02:36 UTC
Nitpicking, why height: 0.8em?

This is 0.8em: https://snipboard.io/r2anVS.jpg

Vs 0.6em: https://snipboard.io/PGHrtz.jpg

The chevron is more vertically aligned with the text.

This is for a follow-up bug anyway.

Thanks for the follow-up, Owen!
