collective.amberjack.core

This package provides core functionality for collective.amberjack package.

Be aware that series 0.9.x is compatible with Plone3, series 1.x is compatible with Plone4.

How to create new tour

First of all you need to define the tour. Starting version 1.1 we are using configuration based style.

A tour is a .cfg file. It has an amberjack main section which has two options: title and steps - this is where you define tour steps:

[amberjack]
steps =
    my_step1
    my_step2
title = My first amberjack tour

there are also available two blueprints: 1. Step a step section is defined by collective.amberjack.blueprints.step and has several options:

  • title
  • text
  • url - step url definition
  • xpath - xpath selector
  • xcontent - xcontent selector
  • microsteps - microsteps sections
  • validators - tales expression validation

it looks like that:

[my_step1]
blueprint = collective.amberjack.blueprints.step
title = This is my first Step
text = You should now know how to create a step section
url = /mystep
validators =
    python: context.isFolderish()
xpath = ''
xcontent = ''
microsteps =
    microstep_1
    microstep_2

2. Microstep a microstep section is defined by collective.amberjack.blueprints.microsteps and it has several options:

  • idstep
  • text
  • description
  • selector

it looks like that:

[microstep_1]
blueprint = collective.amberjack.blueprints.microstep
idstep = menu_state
text = This is my dummy microstep
description = Now you should now how to define microsteps
selector = #insert
Tour registration

Finally you have to register it. The only acceptable format is an archive (zip or tar) which contains one or multiple .cfg files (tours) Using zcml:

<configure
    xmlns:collective.amberjack="http://namespaces.plone.org/collective.amberjack.core">
    <collective.amberjack:tour
        tourlocation="mytourpackage.zip"
    />
</configure>
