Core Framework – Top Navigation v2.0.3 – Documentation

Top Navigation

The global top navigation is ImmobilienScout24's central navigation hub. It links to all of the most relevant product and content pages and provides access to the user's account area.

The header configuration is centrally managed within the CMS, so if you wish to use the top navigation in your pages, you should include it by way of a CMS content snippet. (For more information on how to do that, please refer to the Wiki or bribe your CMS team with shiny things.)

See the Change Log to find out what's changed from previous versions.

CSS and JS Dependencies

The Top Navigation relies on the Core Framework in an arbitrary version, as well as the additional top navigation CSS and JS included in this package.

Note: If you are using the central CMS header, you won't need to include the core-topnavigation resources as they are already delivered as part of the header snippet.

Top Navigation CSS and JS inclusion
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//www.static-immobilienscout24.de/fro/core-topnavigation/2.0.3/css/core-topnavigation.min.css" />
<script src="//www.static-immobilienscout24.de/fro/core-topnavigation/2.0.3/js/core-topnavigation.min.js"></script>

Brand Header

The white section of the top navigation, which includes the brand logo and claim, is a variation of the Core Framework's standard white header. It introduces the page-header--white--composite class, along with a few minor markup changes.

The page-header__content class handles the positioning of the individual content blocks. You may float these elements to the right where necessary.

Top navigation brand header (Note that image URLs will differ in production.)

    </div>
  </div>
</header>

Account Tab

The account tab layout differs from ordinary tabs. Depending on configuration and log-in status, it may show a user image and a user name.

Account Tab Structure

The account tab contains a number of additional DOM elements.

  1. A user image (topnavigation__sso-login__user-avatar)
  2. A welcome message to the logged-in user (topnavigation__sso-login__welcome-message)

Also, the classes sso-login and sso-login__user-name serve as handles for the log-in script.

An account tab (Wrapper elements left out for the sake of simplicity.)

Log-in Status

The account tab is displayed differently depending on whether or not the user is logged in. The view is toggled with the sso-login--logged-in class on the surrounding list element.

Similarly, the sso-login--show-avatar class determines whether to show or hide the user avatar or placeholder image.

Login panel in logged-in and logged-out state (Wrapper elements left out for the sake of simplicity.)

JavaScript

To initialize the top navigation logic (including the slide-in behavior and support for touch interfaces), call IS24.core.extensions.topnavigation.init.

Note: If you use the CMS header snippet, this is already taken care of.

if (window.IS24 && IS24.core && IS24.core.extensions && IS24.core.extensions.topnavigation) {
  IS24.core.extensions.topnavigation.init();
}
