RefactoringXSLT

Goal:

• Review all services and check the one required
• Classify UI services and other services
• Classify admin, search and metadata UI
• Remove Styling, extra-HTML (eg. tables, divs, ...) and JS from XSLTs
• Move translation to i18n.xml (and identify client side translation by @js)
• Define a UI configuration (TODO: could start in XSL variable but could be nice to move that to Settings or even User Settings ?)

Note: That change should not affect legacy or widget apps and could be done in parallel

After refactoring, we should be able to safely remove :

• images/* (not harvesting, category, logo)
• loc///* (not i18n.xml)
• scripts
• WEB-INF/config-*
• xsl

WEB-INF / Service config

Service configuration is defined in WEB-INF/config/config/*.xml (https://github.com/fxprunayre/core-geonetwork/tree/refactoring/xslt-and-angularjs/web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config).

WEB-INF/config.xml include service configuration using (https://github.com/fxprunayre/core-geonetwork/blob/refactoring/xslt-and-angularjs/web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config.xml#L1539)

    <include>config/config-services.xml</include>
    <include>config/config-ui.xml</include>
    <include>config/config-ui-search.xml</include>
    <include>config/config-ui-metadata.xml</include>
    <include>config/config-ui-admin.xml</include>

XSLT folder

During review all XSLTs are moved from the xsl folder to the xslt one (https://github.com/fxprunayre/core-geonetwork/tree/refactoring/xslt-and-angularjs/web/src/main/webapp/xslt).

Guidelines

• Remove all styling, uneeded HTML and JS from XSLT
• All CSS classes MUST start with "gn-" (to avoid collision when mixed in other portal, CMS, ...)
• Icons MUST come from ? eg. http://thenounproject.com/
• Icons should be stored in one file (for faster load)
• Create global variables (https://github.com/fxprunayre/core-geonetwork/blob/refactoring/xslt-and-angularjs/web/src/main/webapp/xslt/common/base-variables.xsl), functions or template to make XSLT simpler.
