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This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated.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.

Controlling

The controlling of xBlog plugins should be easy:

  • Users control relevant properties by the flexforms
  • Administrators control properties by the constant editor

The bridge

The core of xBlog is the bridge.

For example: a list view is publishing usually the elements:

  • a title
  • a subtitle
  • a short (sometimes)

An administrator allocates to each element fields like

  • subtitle: margin_subtitle // teaser_subtitle // subtitle // my_extension_subtitle

This means:

xBlog is looking for a value from a field margin_subtitle and if it is empty, xBlog looks for a value from a field teaser_subtitle, and if it is empty, it takes the next for rendering. And so on.

This concept enables a ready-to-use configuration for most of use cases.
