WAI Accessibility Evaluation Tools

Setup and Addition of Data

Data is collected in the data directory. There are two possibilities to use it.

(A) Local setup & GitHub Pages

Clone the repository to your hard disk and run

m install

to initialize the repository and install all dependencies, like grunt. To use the data files with github pages, the files need to be compiled to one data.js files using the gulp script. Run

lp watch

and add/edit the data files. The data.json file is automatically created.

(B) Server setup & PHP

If you want the script to pick up files on the (PHP enabled) server automatically once they are saved into the data directory, do all steps in (A) but after running gulp watch edit the javascript/script.js file. Search for data.json and replace it with data.json.php. After you save that file a new js/master.min.js is created that is using this path. Now you can upload the files to the server, whenever you upload a new file to the data directory it will be picked up by the tool automagically.

Appendix: Data format

Usually data should be entered and edited using the submission form to ensure valid JSON. The data is collected in JSON files with each entry in the following format:

itle": "<string>",
reator": "<string>",
ocation": "<url>",
elease": "<date format='YYYY-MM-DD'>",
ersion": "<string>",
escription": "<string>",
anguage": ["<array of strings>"],
uideline": ["<array of strings>"],
ssists": ["<array of strings>"],
utomated": ["<array of strings>"],
epairs": ["<array of strings>"],
echnology": ["<array of strings>"],
nlineservice": ["<array of strings>"],
esktopapp": ["<array of strings>"],
uthoringtools": ["<array of strings>"],
rowsers": ["<array of strings>"],
eports": ["<array of strings>"],
icense": ["<array of strings>"],
pdate": ["<array of strings>"],
ype": ["<array of strings>"]

title, creator, url, release, version and desc can have only one (string) value. All other fields can either be one or multiple values. If a tool has multiple values, like different languages, enclose them with square brackets and separate them with a comma. If only one value is used, the brackets are optional. (a value of “English” is equivalent to [“English”]).

Due to limitations of the tool, the values have to be the same throughout the whole data set, for example ?Freeware? and ?FreeWare? would be considered two different strings to filter by. This is really important for the more complex things like ?WCAG 2: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2? or similar.

Listing Form Configuration

The form content can easily be edited using the config.php file in root. It looks like this:

p
_default_timezone_set('UTC'); // Sets time zone, allows us to format dates from strings.
o = false; // If demo mode is true, data isn?t sent to the list.

ists = array(
title => "Assists evaluations by:", // Fieldset heading
data => array( // Options, format: "shortname_no_spaces" => "longname"
    "report" => 'Generating reports of evaluation results', 
    "wizard" => 'Providing step-by-step evaluation guidance',
    "inpage" => 'Displaying information within web pages',
    "transformation" => 'Modifying the presentation of web pages'
),
other => false, // If true, a other field is displayed
variable => 'assists', // An identifier, usually the same as the variable name
type => 'checkbox', // or 'radio'
explanation => array( // If items need explanations, provide it in the format "shortname" => "URI"
    "report" => 'http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/selectingtools.html#reports',
    "wizard" => 'http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/selectingtools.html#wizards',
    "inpage" => 'http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/selectingtools.html#in-page',
    "transformation" => 'http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/selectingtools.html#transformation'
)


ultiple other of those blocks for configuration */

Adding a new block

1. Enter block data as noted above.

2. In submission.php:

Around line 100, enter a line like the following:

a->assists = iter($_POST['assists'], $assists);

Around line 370, enter a line like the following:

p create_form_cb_section($assists); ?>

Exposing as filters

To expose a new category as filters, set the repository up for local editing and run grunt watch as described in (A) above. Then edit the javascript/script.js file. Under var settings = { you can find a few configuration options which are taken from the facetedsearch.js javascript library (see bottom of this page for an example). But there have been some changes to the configuration for facets:

ts: {
'guideline' : {
    'title': 'Guidelines', 
    'promoted': [
        "<strong><abbr title=\"Web Content Accessibility Guidelines\">WCAG<\/abbr> 2.0 ? <abbr title=\"World Wide Web Consortium\">W3C<\/abbr> Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0<\/strong>", 
        "<abbr title=\"Web Content Accessibility Guidelines\">WCAG<\/abbr> 1.0 ? <abbr title=\"World Wide Web Consortium\">W3C<\/abbr> Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0"
    ]
},
'language'  : {
    'title': 'Languages', 
    'collapsed': true
},
'a11yinfo' : {
    'title': 'Accessibility Statement', 
    'plain': true 
}
[?more facets?]

Every facet has a title, which is mandatory. It is the <summary> of the <details> element. If the facet should be collapsed by default, set 'collapsed': true. If there should be no <details> & <summary> around that item, set 'plain': true.
