Exhaustive list of common modules and recurring properties

Hi Textpattern peoples,

I am putting together a list of modules that most sites seem to need with the intention of creating a basic fallback style for everything. That way I will be able to quickly build a standard website with all the basic functionality. Simply put: Object orientated frontend development (templating).

After this i will be able to spend my time more efficiently creating new and exciting variations of the standard functionality.

If you have any idea’s, feedback or additions please post away
Here is my start list:

• Image gallery
	thumbnail view
	full size view
	navigation
		previous next pauze/play

• Tabs system

• Menu
	-horizontal
		-subnav flyout
	-vertical
		-subnav static
		-subnav flyout

• Slide show
	-slide
	-fadeIn/fadeOut
	-navigation
		previous | next | pauze/play

• News overview
	-rss
	-featured
	-categories
	-tags

• News article
	-title
	-subtitle
	-summary/intro
	-body
	-article image
	-author
	-date
	-readmore
	-categories
	-tags
	-sort by:

• Pagination
	previous | next | first | last | pages | so-many of total text

• Calendars
	-list view
	-standard view
		-Day view

Do you mean a CSS stylesheet that covers all those functions? If so you might want to start with Normalize and Formalize and build up from there. That way at least you’ll have a consistent starting point on all browsers.

Re: Exhaustive list of common modules and recurring properties

No I am not refering strictly to css reset frameworks. I mean modules based on standard/recurring functionality, which includes html patterns with accompanying css and js. e.g.

The example below would represent the ‘‘Navigation model’‘

<nav class="site-menu">
    <ul role="navigation" class="main-menu">
        <li class="current"><a href="url"><span>item1</span></a></li>
        <li><a href="url"><span>item2</span></a></li>
   </ul>
</nav>
