Accessibility
=============

[](#accessibility)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

The module allows editors to specify access keys for pages and have them all listed in an access key directory.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 3.0+

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install with composer by running:

```
composer require silverstripe/accessibility:*

Or just clone/download the git repository into a subfolder (usually called "accessibility") of your SilverStripe project.

Usage

### Adding Access Keys

[](#adding-access-keys)

In the Settings tab of each page you'll find an Access Key text field. You can enter in any single character in here. This will be available as $AccessKey in the templates. In order for accesskeys to be available, they must be defined as links on all pages. One way to do this is within a hidden div in the footer of your page:

```

	$AccessKey = $Title

```

This markup can be found in AccessKey.ss, and can be included in your footer as:

```

```

If you do not have styles defined for the hidden class, you should put this in your layout css (or scss) file:

```
.hidden{
	display:none;
}

```

This has already been implemented in the express theme.

### Adding an Accessibility Page

[](#adding-an-accessibility-page)

The module adds an Accessibility Page page type. Templates for this page can use $AccessKeys to list all pages on the site that have an access key set. So for example:

```

			Key
			Page

				$AccessKey
				$Title

```

The template for this page type can be found at templates/AccessibilityPage.ss.
