This is an old revision of the document!
The entries listing shows a listing with all entries.
The listing can be filtered by the active catalogs for better handling.
The usual functions for edit, activate/deactivate and delete are available for the single entry (only admins and the owner).
You can add each entry to one or several catalogs.
It's basically the same as categories for more flexibility and the possibility to handle several different catalogs in one website.
The catalogs can be used as a filter/menu in frontend to select all or only the entries from one catalog.
for less scrolling and faster update the content of the entries is displayed in tabs.
There is a lot of JQuery involved here to make your life easier, so enjoy it!
There are two different options to include images in our catalog entry.
PHPWCMS image option
should be clear how to
images from folder option
here you have the option to choose a folder on your web server and the script will use all images within that folder for the actual catalog entry.
makes it possible to sync often changing images
Start folder is: [module-folder]/catalog_images
this folder must have CHMOD 777 permissions.
only one level possible.
Thumbnails within these folders are automatically generated (when updating the Content-Part where the entry is assigned to).
(it creates a folder directly under the selected one called 'thumbs' and creates two thumbnails for each image AND each contentpart, one for the listing called tmblst_[ID of CP]_[imagename].[extension] and one for the detailview called tmbdet_[ID of CP]_[imagename].[extension])
For both options the settings for width, height, crop, lightox will be set in the Content-Part.
here starts the magic!
Enter a valid address, zip and/or city and a country (required for Geocoding)
for countries yet saved in other entries a list to choose from appears when you enter the first letter
then click 'Geocode' and the script gets the coordinates and shows the google map with the marker at this address
for finetuning you can drag and drop the marker.
the map only loads when you click 'Geocode' or when an address is saved and the address-tab is selected, so you shouldn't worry about too many Google Mpas API loadings just for administration.
For each entry the Google map can be activated individually. Not activated here will not render the point in overview maps in frontend and not in the detailview of this entry of course.
