Normal Mode¶

In mode “Normal” the plugin can be used for commenting, rating, sharing with many options which are available on the other tabs.

Triggering prefix defines what parameter in URL triggers displaying of comments. The value depends on another plugin and its parameters. It's used when you want to related the comments to News or Products shown on a page, but not on the page itself. Typically this parameter will be tx_extkey_pi1, but some older plug-ins have different values (for example, “tx_ttnews” for tt_news plugin). Special value “pages” allows to comment on content elements on a page instead of records (value by default).

The mappings are in table “Plugin to table map”, custom mappings can be defined there. In versions before V3.1.0. this information was maintained in TS-Setup.

Trigger optional record gives possibility to specify a record or content element for which the comments will be valid. By Default the plugin associates to the containing content element or the record in association with a triggering prefix. Here you can force the record to be commented.

If it is a content element holding a plugin itself, then the comments of the other content element are shown, but you still can represent them in another way.

Storage records at page specifies the sys-folder where records should be stored. Normally TS Option is used. If all is empty, current page is used.
