Revision as of 17:23, 22 August 2010

I'm not a native English speaker. Please correct my mistakes.

Normally, you need not a module, because it is just a linked image.

But my aim was:

• to select the image
• to determine the position
• several of them on one side, or distributed on several domains.

First, categories are created, in these categories then the XING profile(s). With the XING-Lister, you can select the category that are used. Each front-end module can be assigned their own template. Three different templates are included. (see "Using")
Thus, it is then possible, the categories to distribute on several layouts or several domains. Are there more than one profile in a category, all profiles will be shown from this category. Thus it would be e.g. possible to show the profiles of a whole team.

Errors and requests can be reported in the Issue Tracker.

Installation

The installation of the module occurs about the extension Repository in back end of Contao.
A manual installation is possible. Download the ZIP file from Extension Repository, unzip and transfer it.
A directory should have been created "/system/modules/gl_xing".
Then call /contao/install.php - Perform Update Database.
( /typolight/install.php in older TYPOlight installations )

Note for older "TYPOlight" versions

TYPOlight 2.8

Users of TYPOlight 2.8.x, please use XING module 1.1.1! (Direct Link)

TYPOlight 2.7

Users of TYPOlight 2.8.x, please use XING module 1.0.4! (Direct Link)

Xing Update version 1.x to version 2.x

What is to be observed, can be found here.

• Xing Update Version 1 to Version 2

Overview

The Xing module contains a back end and a front end module.
In the back end, there are "Xing", for the front end "Xing list".

Back end

Xing

English screenshot follows.

Frontend

For the front end module, a CSS file is included as an example:

• mod_xing_fe.css for a normal, line-by-line output.

Xing Banner

The simplest variant, only the linked image:


The more complex variant, several Xing banner of a team, with team name and names of team members.

Using

First, create a new category. In the category create the Xing profile(s).
Then, create a front end module and build it into the layout of the page.
Here are the steps, each with the default values. Technical details will be explained later.

Create the category

To create a new category, just click on the left in the back end in 'content' to 'Xing'. In the main area click on the button 'New category'.
Xing - New category

There, enter the name of the category. The front end module will later use this name. Then you click on "Save and close".
Now you can see the category overview. By clicking on the pencil in the line of the category and repeated clicking on the pencil in the head of the category you return to the settings of the category.

Create Xing Profile

In the category list now clicking on Edit (pencil) of the category.
Now, either click the 'New profile' and then the arrow icon, or click the plus in the head of the category:
Xing - neues Profil

Now, some information are needed:

• XING Profile, e.g.: John_Doe, Explanations are provided in the help. (Help Wizard)
• XING Layout , Explanations are provided in the help. (Help Wizard)
• activate "Published"

Then you click on "Save and close".

Front end Module

A new front-end module is create with:

• Layout -> Themes -> (Front end) Modules -> Add module (Contao 2.9 and newer)
• Layout -> Modules -> Add modules (TYPOlight 2.8.x and older)

At first, enter the title, and only then select in "Module type": 'Xing' - 'Xing list'. It changes the form fields.
In 'Xing Category' now select the previously created category, then 'Save and close'.

Now, the front end module must be included in the layout:

• Layout -> Themes -> Layout -> Edit the used layout (Contao 2.9 and newer)
• Layout -> Layout -> Edit the used layout (TYPOlight 2.8.x)

Include in 'Included modules' the just-created front end module (e.g. to left)

CSS-File

As mentioned above, is provided a CSS file for presentation.
For the first tests you should copy the file mod_xing_fe.css from /system/modules/gl_xing to /tl_files.
Then import them over the backend and activate it in the layout.

Technical Details

Feinheiten sind innerhalb der Kategorie sowie im selbst angelegtem Frontend Modul machbar/einstellbar.

Feinheiten innerhalb der Kategorie

Team Profile

In den Einstellungen in der Kategorie selbst gibt es nichts weiter, aber man kann in der Kategorie mehrere Xing-Profile anlegen.
Einsatz wäre z.B. eine Übersicht von allen Team Mitgliedern.
Je nach Template Auswahl im Frontend-Modul wird der Kategorie-Name zum Team-Name.
Sie nächsten Abschnitt wie das Ganze dann aussehen kann.

Feinheiten in der Frontend Modul Definition

Templates

Ist nur ein Xing-Profil in der Kategorie definiert, sind folgende zwei Templates sinnvoll einzusetzen:

• mod_xing_list , es wird nur die verlinkte Grafik gezeigt
  
• mod_xing_list_profile, es wird die verlinkte Grafik gezeigt, darunter der Profile Name (Unterstrich wird dabei entfernt)
  

Sind mehrere Xing-Profile in der Kategorie definiert um ein Team darzustellen, sind folgende zwei Templates sinnvoll einzusetzen:

• mod_xing_list_profile, es werden untereinander die verlinkten Grafiken angezeigt, jeweils darunter der Profile Name (Unterstrich wird dabei entfernt)
  
• mod_xing_list_team, wie bei mod_xing_list_profile, zusätzlich erscheint über der ersten Grafik der Team-Name (Kategorie Name)
  

Sie können eigene Templates im Ordner /templates bzw. im Template Ordner des verwendetem Themes speichern.
Templates müssen mit mod_xing_list beginnen und die Dateiendung .tpl haben. ( z.B.: mod_xing_list_club66.tpl )

Nur Gästen anzeigen

Nach dem Aktivieren der Funktion wird das Modul versteckt, sobald ein Mitglied (Frontend Nutzer) angemeldet ist.

Modul schützen

Hier kann nun definiert werden, dass die Anzeige des Moduls nur dann erfolgt, wenn Mitglieder bestimmter Gruppen angemeldet sind.
