| 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>).
