13 | This section describes how to configure the document plugins the
|
---|
14 | collection uses. It explains how you specify what
|
---|
15 | plugins to use, what parameters to pass to them, and in what order
|
---|
16 | they occur. Under "Design Sections", click "Document Plugins".
|
---|
17 | <p></p>
|
---|
18 | To add a plugin, select it using the "Select plugin to add" pull-down list near the
|
---|
19 | bottom and then click "Add Plugin". A window appears entitled
|
---|
20 | "Configuring Arguments"; it is described later. Once you have configured the
|
---|
21 | new plugin, it is added to the end of the "Currently Assigned Plugins" list.
|
---|
22 | Note that, except for UnknownPlug, each plugin may only occur once in the list.
|
---|
23 | <p></p>
|
---|
24 | To remove a plugin, select it in the list and click "Remove Plugin".
|
---|
25 | <p></p>
|
---|
26 | Plugins are configured by providing arguments. To alter them, select the
|
---|
27 | plugin from the list and click "Configure Plugin" (or double-click
|
---|
28 | the plugin). A "Configuring Arguments" dialog appears with various controls for specifying arguments.
|
---|
29 | <p></p>
|
---|
30 | There are different kinds of controls. Some are checkboxes, and clicking one
|
---|
31 | adds the appropriate option to the plugin. Others are text strings, with a
|
---|
32 | checkbox and a text field. Click the box to enable the argument, then type
|
---|
33 | appropriate text (regular expression, file path etc) in the box. Others are
|
---|
34 | pull-down menus from which you can select from a given set of values. To learn what an
|
---|
35 | argument does, let the mouse hover over its name for a moment and a description
|
---|
36 | will appear.
|
---|
37 | <p></p>
|
---|
38 | When you have changed the configuration, click "OK" to commit the changes and
|
---|
39 | close the dialog, or "Cancel" to close the dialog without changing any plugin
|
---|
40 | arguments.
|
---|
41 | <p></p>
|
---|
42 | The plugins in the list are executed in order, and the ordering is sometimes
|
---|
43 | important. The order of the plugins can be changed in Library Systems Specialist and Expert modes only (see <a href="preferences.htm#preferences">Preferences</a>).
