Plugin App Frame

Use this wiki plugin, introduced in Tiki9, to create a frame to assemble custom applications in. Components in the frame can be various wiki pages and modules with associated display and execution logic. This is useful if you want your Tiki to feel more like a custom-made application instead of a CMS with custom features. See Framework

AppFrame uses its own set of plugins to define the structure of the frame. The plugins can be nested to achieve the desired result. The PluginAppframe was built for the CartoGraf profile. Some features may be missing for your specific needs.

Structure plugins

  • COLUMN: Divides the space into columns. The 'width' parameter indicates the percentage of the space to use.
  • TAB: Creates a tabbed interface. The 'label' parameter indicates the name displayed on the tab.
  • OVERLAY: Creates an overlay above the app frame at the desired position. The position can be specified in pixels relative to top, left, bottom or right.
  • ANCHOR: Creates a sliding panel at the right of the section. The panel is initially displayed as an icon, specified by a parameter of the same name and a label parameter allows a title tag to be set.
  • COND: Determines if the content should be displayed based on a given condition (empty/notempty), useful in conjunction with arg variables.
  • HIDDEN: allows a section of the frame to remian hidden

Content plugins

  • PAGE: Includes a wiki page
  • TEMPLATE: Executes a smarty template
  • MODULE: Executes any module
  • MAPCONTROL: allows control tools to be added to a map with the following options:
    • pan_zoom
    • mode_enable
    • select_feature
    • modify_feature
    • draw_polygon
    • draw_path
    • reset_zoom
