This module allows to create tags for Contao elements. It provides a basic database structure to save the tags and it can be used to visualize existing tags. The module contains the following extensions:

• A widget TagField for backend forms. You can add tags as a comma separated list into a text field. The tags are saved into a separate database table.
• A frontend module Tag Cloud to visualize the tags in a cloud like in the Contao extension repository. The Tag Cloud can optionally contain a top 10 list of tags and a list of related tags.
• A frontend module Global article list to show a list of all articles in a Contao installation. If the global article list is called from a tag cloud, only the articles with the given tag are listed
• A tag field for articles, news entries and calendar/events, and content elements
• An extended content element "heading" that can be shown only if tags are used.
• An insert tag that shows a list of used tags.
• Added: Save news archive URL parameters if a news archive is used on the same page as a tag cloud

Please note that for a proper integration the Mootools support must be activated in your Contao page layout.

Release notes

1.7.0

• Added: Clear tags option. When checked, an additional hyperlink is shown to clear all selected tags.
• Added: Module "Tag scope". This module shows all selected tags on a page. It supports the following actions: a) Clear all selected tags. b) Select a specific tag c) Clear a specific tag.
• Modified: Example style sheets tags_orange.css and tags_oxygen.css have been modified to support the new features.

1.6.6

• Added: Additional database field for global articlelist. Without a given tag it is now possible to show an empty articlelist (default) or all existing articles.

1.6.5

• Added: Additional database field to add a CSS tag for tags that are assigned on the active page (only used in tags_articles and tags_content)
• Fixed: Problem with calextend-Extension which prevents the extension of the eventlist-Module by removing the eventlist module legends
• Fixed: Problem with old browsers/web servers and special characters (like german Umlauts) in tags. The resulting URLs are created now according to RFC 3986
• Fixed: TOP 10 tags URLs have been the same for all tags

1.6.4

• Added: Select wheather or not Contao specific URL parameters should be kept by tag clouds
• Fixed: News archive filtering was not working correctly

1.6.3

• Removed automatic manipulation of headlines when tags are used. Instead the used tags are available in the template variable 'tags_activetags' and the number of hits in the template variable 'tags_total_found'. This behaviour is NOT compatible with previous versions of this extension. To get the same result you have to modify existing template like mod_newslist etc. on your own but it's definitely the better and cleaner solution. I apologize for all inconveniences.

IMPORTANT

xtmembers continues the MemberExtensions module. All files are located in the same directory. Renaming the extension was necessary to support the TYPOlight online translator. If you want to update from MemberExtensions to xtmembers please keep the following in mind:

• Update using the TYPOlight extension manager: Please uninstall the MemberExtensions module, but ONLY delete the files. If TYPOlight asks you to change the database tables, please click cancel, otherwise you will loose all your previously created data with MemberExtensions. After uninstalling MemberExentsions please install the xtmembers module using the Extension Manager. TYPOlight installs the files and states that no database changes have been made (if you update from MemberExtensions 1.8.0).
• Manual update: Just overwrite the xtmembers folder with the content of the xtmembers zip file.

I you like to adjust your ILIAS system to use your own logo or you own corporate design, it is crucial that you do not change the original ILIAS files in order to prevent these file from overwrite during the next system update or maintenance release.
ILIAS offers you a mechanism to define your own skins and styles for an installation. This article gives you a short introduction to complete this task.
Before I go into details, please note that this howto only works with ILIAS versions greater or equal than ILIAS 3.8.0.

Creating your own skin

In order to create your own skin in ILIAS you first have to create a folder for the skin in the filesystem. For this task I assume that you will name our own skin with "company". Therefore you have to create the skin folder under your ILIAS system folder. Please add the following directories (some may already exist):

Customizing/global/skin/company

Now you have to create an XML file template.xml in this directory which contains all the necessary information ILIAS needs to know that this directory contains an ILIAS skin. The file contains the name of the skin and at least one location of a style. You can of course support multiple styles for your skin but in this howto we only create one style. The content of template.xml is:

The text file is available for download.

To create a fully functional skin you now have to create the style file you just defined in the template.xml file. I assume that you do not want to reinvent the wheel so I am showing you now how to add a little variation of the usual ILIAS style (called delos). What I do is to copy the original ILIAS delos style file to the location where the skin expects our new style file. The original delos style is located in

templates/default/delos.css

while your new style has to be named after the id attribute in your template file followed by the extension .css. So the copy of delos.css has to be created into

Customizing/global/skin/company/company.css

The original delos.css file uses some images which are part of the CSS styles. All these images are located in the images directory of the default template directory, so please copy the complete directory

templates/default/images 

into your skin directory. All the images are addressed relative so the styles are working in the new location without any changes.

Activating the skin

That's it (ok, you only have a skin which looks similar to the default ILIAS skin but I will go further in the next part ot the howto). You can test your new skin by activating the skin in ILIAS. Please change into ILIAS, open your personal desktop, select the "Personal Profile" tab and change the Skin/Style selection in the Settings section to "company / company". If you do not see the company skin than something went wrong with the template.xml file or the file may not be readable due to wrong permission settings. After saving the new setting you will recognize that NOTHING changed (hopefully!). The only way to see at this point that ILIAS now runs with your own company skin is to have a look into the source code of an arbitrary ILIAS page. Somewhere in the head of the page you should find the following statement:

... link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./Customizing/global/skin/company/company.css ...

Changing ILIAS-Templates

To change the color or other style properties you just have to modify the style file company.css. I will not go into details here. This is the job of a web designer. To see which styles are used in some typical ILIAS components you have to look inside the the HTML source code of the pages of interest. There is no external element style documentation. To change existing ILIAS templates, you don't need to modify the template files directly. Just copy the template files you want to change from the templates/default directory into your skin directory.
To show an example I will replace the ILIAS logo with our company logo. Therefore please copy the company logo into the image folder of your skin. In this example, the logo file has a width of 210 pixels, a height of 44 pixels. and it comes with the name company.png:

Now you have to change the ILIAS template that contains the head of the page and the main navigation. Please copy the file

templates/default/tpl.main_buttons.html

into your skin directory and change the code for the embedded logo from

to

Save the file to Customizing/global/skin/company/tpl.main_buttons.html. Now you have to change the background of the main navigation to match the colors of the company logo. Have a look at the HTML code of the template. You will see that the style responsible for the main navigation bar is the style selector "ilMainHeader".

Change the already existing entry div.ilMainHeader in your style file company.css from

to

Together with some other minor changes the result is looking like this if you reload one of the pages in ILIAS:

Important ILIAS template

Below you'll find some of the most important ILIAS templates you might want to change if you create your own company skin:

• templates/default/tpl.main_buttons.html
  ILIAS head with main navigation and logo
• templates/default/tpl.login.html
  ILIAS logon page
  
• templates/default/tpl.locator.html
  ILIAS locator which shows the path to the current page in the repository
  
• templates/default/tpl.adm_content.html
  Main template for most ILIAS pages. This is the "body" for over 90 percent of the output

Overwriting templates and style of ILIAS modules

Not only the ILIAS core templates could be changed. It is also possible to change templates and syles of ILIAS modules such as Test & Assessment. ILIAS modules can be found in the Modules folder of your ILIAS installation.

What you have to do to modify module templates is to create a Modules folder in your skin folder. If you want to modify the template to show the participants of a test in ILIAS Test & Assessment, just copy the responsible template file

Modules/Test/templates/default/tpl.il_as_tst_participants.html

to the new module position in you skin:

Customizing/global/skin/company/Modules/Test/tpl.il_as_tst_participants.html

In other words, you create the folders Modules/Test in your skin folder and copy the desired template file into this newly created folder. In there you can modify the template in the same way as described above.

Conclusion

ILIAS customizing is way to change the ILIAS layout with your individualised CI. These changes could be applied by single users or for all users using the ILIAS system administration. The great advantage of this customization is the independence of your changes from ILIAS bug fixes and minor releases. Of course you should check if a bug fix or a release change changes style definitions or adds/removes styles or content templates. Another advantage is the fact that a skin can be applied simply by copying all the files into the Customizing folder of another ILIAS installation.

aurealis generates a nightly doxygen based online documentation of the Project WONDER frameworks.
Doxygen can help you in three ways:

1. It can generate an on-line documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in LaTeX) from a set of documented source files. There is also support for generating output in RTF (MS-Word), PostScript, hyperlinked PDF, compressed HTML, and Unix man pages. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources, which makes it much easier to keep the documentation consistent with the source code.
2. You can configure doxygen to extract the code structure from undocumented source files. This is very useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions. You can also visualize the relations between the various elements by means of include dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all generated automatically.
3. You can even `abuse' doxygen for creating normal documentation (as I did for this manual).

The Project WONDER API documentation is available at http://www.aurealis.de/webobjects/wonder/api/html/.
