ELIXIR Banner

About

This should be placed in the footer of sites that are part of the ELIXIR network.

Usage

This is an early version that is largely a port of the VF 1.3 ELIXIR Banner with some notable changes:

• The data option prefixes have changed to match VF 2 practice data-name is now data-vf-banner-elixir-name, and similarly for the other options.
• The multiple background colour options (green, orange, blue) have been dropped as they were poorly used and often presented colour-contrast accessibility issues.

Options

• data-vf-js-banner-elixir-logo="" (optional)
  • this value is optional, the banner will default to use the normal ELIXIR logo. Passing CDR will use the ELIXIR Core Data Resource mark.
• data-vf-js-banner-elixir-name="Your Service Name" (optional)
  • " is part of the ELIXIR infrastructure" will be appended
• data-vf-js-banner-elixir-description="text here" (optional)
  • set the text in the small line of text to explain your relationship with ELIXIR
• data-vf-js-banner-elixir-link="https://url" (optional)
  • by default the banner will point to a page at www.elixir-europe.org. If you would prefer to link to a custom page explaining your relationship with ELIXIR, add the full URL here

The development and future direction of this component can be discussed in issue #1572. While breaking changes are anticipated they are currently not expected.

This component leverages the Sass/CSS of vf-banner, so it should also be installed.
