CSS Bullets libguides, ILLiad, Facebook App

Well, a busy week as I finally got around to doing a couple things I should have done a long time ago. First, we have not had ordered list display properly in libguides since we brought over the campus-style sheets for the look and feel.

What I would run into, when I would display the bullets, is a double bullet in our regular lists, and then in the book lists, you would get a bullet but the object in the list like a book would be pushed to the next line. Finally got the single bullets correct, but the issue with pushing down content in a new div element still existed.

So I needed to isolate the book list ul li combinations, I was able to do that. But once I got that figured out, it turns out there are like three other lists like these ones for web sites, and another for RSS feeds. Hopefully, I'm not missing any other lists. I think I have them all fixed with the following CSS additions.

/ ** Bulleted List Cleanup **/

.s-lg-col-boxes ul li {

-webkit-margin-before: 1em;

-webkit-margin-after: 1em;

-webkit-margin-start: 0px;

-webkit-margin-end: 0px;

-webkit-padding-start: 8px;

}

.s-lg-col-boxes ul>li:before {

content: '\2022';

display: inline-block;

color: #c0ac7e;

font-size: 1.5em;

vertical-align: middle;

margin: 0 .2em 0 0;

line-height: .9;

position: relative;

top: -2px;

}

ul.s-lg-link-list.s-lg-link-list-5 li:before {

display: none;

}

ul.s-lg-link-list.s-lg-link-list-2 li:before {

display: none;

}

ul.s-lg-rss-list li:before {

display: none;

}

While working on this issue, I also had a staff member working with ILLiad software to send ILL articles out to other libraries using a tool called Odyssey. What is really weird is that it takes like 2-3 minutes to send the article, when in the past it was pretty much just automatic. Nothing has really changed other than we did have her desktop re-imaged and had to reinstall the software. So it definitely seems like a Windows issue, and we are still working on a solution. One thought I'm going to have her try is to first open the article in Adobe Acrobat, and then have her try and send it.  

Finally, I have been going back and forth with Facebook over our app which we use to display our library posts on our main page. So it's really not an app, but just a feature on our website. It's a feature if it was not available would not break our hearts, but well try to jump through their hoops, as they tell us how we can access the posts. The one bright thing from this is I got to learn how to use QuickTime on the mac to create a screencast, it's very straightforward and puts it in a .mov file format so it can be submitted to Facebook. Update our Facebook app which needed manage pages has been approved.
