   - Alt text for icons



### Implementation Notes:



1. **File Placement**

   - Both files should be in the same directory

   - File names must match the reference in the XML stylesheet declaration

   - Case-sensitive file naming



2. **Browser Support**

   - Requires a modern browser with XSLT support

   - JavaScript must be enabled for filtering functionality

   - Fallback for older browsers



3. **Dependencies**

   - Bootstrap 5.3.2

   - Bootstrap Icons 1.11.3

   - No jQuery required

   - Modern Campus compatibility



4. **Maintenance**

   - Update Bootstrap versions as needed

   - XML structure must match XSLT expectations

   - JavaScript selectors rely on specific class names

   - Regular testing for accessibility compliance



5. **Performance Considerations**

   - Lazy loading for images

   - Optimized search functionality

   - Minified CSS and JavaScript

   - Caching strategies



### Implementation Flow



1. **XML to PHP Transformation Process**

   - XML source file is processed through XSLT

   - Components.xsl handles environment detection

   - DMC (Data Management Core) bridges XML and PHP

   - Final output rendered through PHP for production



2. **Environment-Specific Processing**

   ```mermaid

   graph TD

       A[XML Source] --> B{Environment Check}

       B -->|Preview/Edit| C[XSLT Direct]

       B -->|Production| D[PHP Processing]

       C --> E[DMC Template]

       D --> E

       E --> F[Final Output]

   ```



3. **Component Integration Flow**

   - XSLT template defines base structure

   - Components.xsl handles component matching

   ```mermaid

   graph LR

       A[Component Tag] --> B{Environment?}

       B -->|Staging| C[DMC Template]

       B -->|Production| D[PHP Renderer]

       C --> E[Output]

       D --> E

   ```



4. **Data Processing Pipeline**

   - XML validation

   - Environment detection

   - Content transformation

   - Output generation



5. **Key Integration Points**

   - XML Source: `_resources/data/fws_jobs.xml`

   - XSLT Template: `fws_jobs.xslt`

   - PHP Implementation: `_resources/dmc/php/fws_jobs.php`

   - Component Definition: `_resources/xsl/_shared/components.xsl`



6. **Modern Campus CMS Integration**

   - Uses DMC for data management

   - Supports preview/edit/compare modes

   - Handles staging vs production environments

   - Maintains backward compatibility



7. **Development Workflow**

   ```mermaid

   graph TD

       A[Edit XML] --> B[Test in Preview]

       B --> C{Valid?}

       C -->|No| A

       C -->|Yes| D[Commit to Staging]

       D --> E[Production Deploy]

   ```



### Technical Architecture



1. **Component Structure**

   - XML defines data structure

   - XSLT handles presentation logic

   - PHP manages server-side processing

   - JavaScript handles client-side interactions



2. **Environment Detection**

   - Multiple validation layers

   - Staging flag checks

   - Action parameter validation

   - Environment-specific output



3. **Error Handling**

   - XML validation

   - File existence checks

   - Content processing validation

   - User-friendly error messages



4. **Performance Optimizations**

   - Conditional dependency loading

   - Environment-specific processing

   - Optimized DOM manipulation

   - Caching strategies
