shelpy-bulle alias

Alias content is used when you want to make an item appear elsewhere in the application.

In the navigation, its line will always be preceded by its logo :    

An alias is a content that takes over an existing content in the application. This existing content is called source content. The source content can be a Topic, Map List, Google Map. The whole child tree is included in the alias.

Compared to the source content, the alias is redefined :

  • The title and subtitle
  • Keywords
  • Visual settings (icon, miniature, banner, etc.)
  • Habilitation

  • Title
  • Subtitle
  • Type of content : “Alias”
  • Display : “Default” for an Alias
  • Parent : The element that will be the parent of this Alias.
  • Order : display order that depends on the parent. If “Parent” = “None”, then this Alias will appear in the top left menu
  • Enabled : Y/N

Content tab

List of fields :

  • Keywords : list of keywords allowing to quickly search this page when using the “Alias” element or if you activate the search in a field.
  • Content alias : this is where the source element to be duplicated will be selected.

Visual tab

Allows you to choose the visual appearance of the Alias BEFORE clicking on it, list of fields :

  • Title visible on Grid and Banner : If this Alias is part of a container, that is to say if for example this element “Alias” is a child of a field and if the display chosen in this field is either “Grid” or “Banner”, then there is the possibility to display or not the title of this element “Alias” in the image :
  • If Card View : If this Alias is part of a container, i.e. if for example this element “Alias” is a child of a field and if the display chosen in this field is “Card View”, then there is the possibility to display this element “Alias” in full width or half width. The combination of the 2 choices is possible:
  • Icon : Used for display in the top left menu, or if this item is one of the children of a container (heading for example) whose display is “Title”, “Subtitle”, “Distances” or “Glossary”.
  • Miniature : Used for a “Grid” display or replaces “Icon” if it does not exist.
  • Banner : Used for display in “Banner” mode.

If there is an image in the three fields “Icon”, “Miniature” and “Banner”, then there is an order of priority for the choice of the image that will be displayed :

  1. Banner
  2. Miniature
  3. Icon
  4. If element “Page”: image of the content of this page
Caution : if the display of this item is “Title”, “Subtitle”, “Distances”, “Glossary”, “Grid” and “Card View” (full width), then the image shape must be square and if the display is “Banner” or “Card View” (half width), the image shape must be rectangular with a ratio of 1440×800 pixels.
Otherwise, your image may be truncated at the top and bottom, or right and left..
