Add Academic Notes, References in lightbox

Posted by on 10 Feb 2017 in Activity Log

Added js, css and html to form.php to support lightbox feature. Also added buttons to the form to launch the lightbox and populate it with the correct block of information.

Information extracted from docx files from SD. Also took those docx files and aggregated them into one big libreoffice file and then exported out to PDF file.

Added button on search page (and links within the lightbox) to launch the Full Notes and References pdf file in a new tab (as otherwise, if user hits browser back button, typically the form is reset and they lose any settings they've made).

Files modified: includes/search/form.php

Fiddled around with adding a button in footer. Files modified: css/main.css, includes/footer.php

Capital Trials at the Old Bailey

Simon Devereaux has approximately 10,000 records of people convicted in potentially capital cases between 1710 and 1840 in London heard at the Old Bailey court. This project will create a web-based database which will allow interested researchers and members of the public to compose queries on that data (e.g. women charged with robbery 1710-1720). It must be able to support a range of queries and produce output allowing researchers to identify trends in judicial practice over that time.
