Global navigation bar across OpenMRS Community. A module of OpenMRS ID.

##Design Goals

• blend with any OpenMRS UI

  • Wiki (dark header)
  • JIRA (white header)
  • Answers (blue header)
  • WP / ID (light warm header)

• serve from a central location

  • ID (integrate as a module)
    • fast (Node)
    • hooked into ID system (eventual profile integration)
    • modification process
      • for link changes, needs to be built into ID administration
      • for code changes, needs commit

• modifyable from OpenMRS ID

  • stored in OpenMRS ID system DB
  • link titles & URLs configurable

• more than just a list of links

  • global announcement bar
  • display notifications/tips relating to a specific tool (e.g. promote new features, account changes, etc.)
  • future: integrate with the greater OpenMRS ID profile, integrate into login session

• integrated into client page

  • one <script> tag necessary to load, in any part of the page
  • prepend the body with navbar HTML, with permissions to:
    • execute scripts
    • change the URL of the parent page (preferably without JS)
