Custom job for Patrick Boch on Cyberprotection mag

[Mike Nelson]

Todo:

• walk through sample and identify doable, hard and impossible items
• create plugin repo

Features to do

Title Page

• logo on front page, no margins
• issue number and year metadata placed on first page
• no content in margins of first page
• call-out banner --> might not be needed

Questions

• frontpage has image but with selectable text. Is having that text selectable important? If so, will he provide a text-less image, then put some position:relative words in it each time? (In which case, just use a custom print material title page with custom CSS to reposition content) --> ignore for now, maybe important later
• what fonts? --> asked for font file

TOC

• Issue number as month and year
• Part titles have underlines leading to title, no page number
• page numbers then title, and a sub-title
• horizontal line, then QR code blurb
• vertical line, then darker sidebar

Normal pages

• no part pages, but use part in top margin
• page number, magazine name, and issue number

Articles

• title
• subtitle
• "author xxx . photo xxx"
• where photo credit come from? --> postmeta "pmb_photo_credit"
• featured image (immediately after stuff (1st), at the bottom of page bleeding into margin (2nd), before title (3rd), or none (page 13).. different template options good)
• quotes can sometimes be bumped to a page edge
• icon at the end of the article
• subtitles have line above them (eg page 10) that goes most of the way--> "pmb_subtitle" postmeta
• when showing author, show image, then gray box slightly behind, text bumped to the right a bit, then title at the top and bio --> use postmeta "pmb_hide_author_bio" to hide the author's bio in the project; otherwise its shown as normal.
• some images are inline, some are floated. CSS classes would probably decide that best, and not affect online version --> use new "pmb-snap"
• featured image to purposefully overflow into margins: use transform: translate(-100px, 100px) scale(3) on the image, but then need to deal with footer overlap. Footer could have a white background? z-index to hide footer didn't work. Maybe use a different @page rule to hide the footer on those pages? (but only the first one, not subsequents)

Questions

• page 5 combines a photo and a quote (different on the website: https://cyberprotection-magazine.com/the-security-standard-to-rule-them-all). Want that? Probably best to do with another plugin. --> not needed
• page 10: has big numbers of pages in the magazine, but regular numbers in post. That could be achieved with a drop cap. Is that ok? --> they'll use dropcaps, might need help
• first article is by "editor's desk" but has no author area (and the editor author is an actual user); whereas second article has an editor. So do we show author except editor? --> yes, editor appears different
• advertisement at the bottom of page 12, below author area. It could be content in the post that's hidden online; or a separate article but that would make a weird exception to the usual behaviour --> use CSS or shortcodes to hide from post
• page 15's author section is different because it has less space. That could be decided by a postmeta/custom field. Sound good? --> probably just one author section type, but might change mind

Last Page

• fullpage imgae background --> use section template "fullpage no margin", and add an image of the right size
• CSS class to have a box float to bottom right of page, fill with whatever content they want
• no header or footer

Don't Forget

• credits section (sample has a sidebar beside the TOC, but Patrick might want it elsewhere)

Can't Do

• Page 6 has a quote that's mid-column. I don't think that's possible.

• video chat with Patrick showing how to modify content for print
