Using the Extension¶
Create a page and insert a plugin content element and select CD
Collection
in the plugin selector.
The configuration of the plugin is performed by means of a flexform
which comes with default values. Just select your form name, that is
CD Album
in the Select form
selector, save your content element
and clear the cache
.
Add your CD categories in the Back End (in list mode, create one or several CD Category records: Rock, Jazz, Pop…).
Finally, go to your page in the frontend and add items to your collection.

As it can be seen, a new icon is associated with the fields artist
and album_title
. It indicates that these fields are required (if
you have selected Required
as shown in the video, of course!). You
will not be able to save your record if you do not fill these fields
and an error message will be displayed.
Let us note that you can also mark any field as required using the configuration parameter:
required = 1;
You can use a date picker by clicking on the button associated with a date.
The icons displayed for the RTE depend on the frontend configuration of the RTE.
