Go to the package manager at http://yoursite/acs-admin/apm. And install the new package: edit-this-page.
Or use the "Add Application" form available on the Main site.
Work out how to change the ETP application.
Investigate each of the available ETP templates:
Default
News
FAQ
Browse the files for each of the above ETP templates at:
cd ~/openacs/packages/edit-this-page/templates
Use the article template as the basis of our new col2 template.
cp article-content.adp col2-content.adp
cp article-content.tcl col2-content.tcl
cp article-index.adp col2-index.adp
- cp article-index.tcl col2-index.tclThe template should provide us with the following ETP layout:
The "Main Content" pane should contain the editable content that ETP provides.
The "Header" should display the title of the page that you set in ETP.
The "Sidebar" should display the extlinks that you add as a content item in ETP.
Need to register your template with ETP so that it appears in the drop-down menu that you would have seen in Exercise 3.
cd ~/openacs/packages/edit-this-page/tcl - emacs etp-custom-init.tcl
Use the function etp::define_application to register your template with ETP
Uncomment the "asc" definition
Set allow_extlinks to true, the rest should be false.
Restart your server for the changes to take effect.
Configure your ETP instance at /lab4/index to use the col2 template.
Create external links to link to other mounted ETP instances.
Check that your external links show up in the sidebar when you view your ETP application using the col2 template.
