DEPRECATION WARNING

This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.

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 on or several “CD Category” records: Rock, Jazz, Pop...).

Finally, go to your page in Front End 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 Front End configuration of the RTE.
