Button Nav

Apply bootstrap dropdown templates, lightbox overlay templates and slide out templatesto create button popups for core Autonav and other navigation blocks. Popup anything by using a button nav template with a content block, stack or Universal Content Puller. Easily configure associated button icons, text and design from a new 'Button Design' option in the block edit dropdown.

• Dropdown - click the button and the block content drops down by the button or from the edge of the page
• Lightbox - click the button and the block content appears in a lightbox overlay
• Slide out - click the button and the block content slides out from the edge of the page

Blocks and templates are provided for:

• Core Autonav block
• Core File block
• Core Content block
• Core Youtube block
• Stack display - any block in a stack
• Manual Nav
• Nestable Manual Nav
• Universal Content Puller - stacks, page areas, files, anything
• Navigation Button block, for direct linking to pages and URLs

All of these share an easy dialog for configuring the button style, size, colour and icon using standard bootstrap options. Buttons can be left inline or aligned with the edges of the window. The navigation templates extend this with options for dropdown alignment and direction.

If you have Buttons Factory Pro, you can even use button themes from Buttons Factory Pro. Button Nav will show available themes in the design dialog.

Some ideas for using button nav:

• As the main navigation template for mobile-only sites or where header space is at a premium.
• Top provide header navigation visually separated from a site's main navigation bar.
• For localised navigation within pages, such as a 'read more' button or link which shows some options on what to read.
• To attach navigation elements to the side of the browser window.
• To popup stacks, content and other blocks.

Extreme Clean

A suite of extreme cleanups to remove obsolete data.  

As a web site is developed, edited and used, behind the scenes a shed-load of unused and no longer relevant stuff accumulates. Extreme Clean searches out such stuff so you know what is old and unused, then removes it for you. 

Cleanup your site

• To assist with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance.
   
• Before taking a site from development to production. When you are intensively editing and developing a site, the history of Lorum-Ipsum and test data remains in old page versions and test users.
   
• Improve speed. On a busy or old site accumulated edits, history and abandoned user accounts combine to slow it down.
   
• Decrease the size of backups . As a site is used, the database grows and slows. Backups take longer because they are saving old data you no longer care about.  (but backup before you first run Extreme Clean, you don't want to clean too much!) 

Scour your site for

• Old page versions

  On a frequently updated site, old page versions accumulate much faster than the core job removes them. Extreme Clean rips through a site purging old page versions and the data they contain.

• Old file versions
  As well as accumulating old file versions, a site can also accumulate empty filesets and folders, broken files, lost files and empty system directories. Extreme clean has carefully crafter cleaners for all of these file manager problems.

• Drafts and Trash

  Clear out abandoned drafts and trash, either completely or once the pages have been un-modified for a number of days.

• Long log files

  Trim log files by length or age. Configured by default for the main Log and the Jobs Log (the c5 core provides no means to view or clear the jobs log)

• Abandoned user accounts

  On a busy eCommerce or membership site, users come and go, but rarely do they clean up their accounts. Extreme Clean seeks out and removes inactive user accounts.

• Messy databases

  Over time the storage for database tables can become fragmented and disorganised. Extreme Clean optimizes database tables for efficient access and storage.

• Old /incoming and /tmp files

  Clean out old and forgotten /incoming and /tmp files by age.

• Packages
  Uninstalled packages and .zip archives in the /packages directory.

• Broken Workflows

  Clean out empty and broken page workflows by age.

• Cluttered Clipboards

  A growing clipboard slows and eventually siezes up, breaking the blocks add panel. Trim clipboards by age or size.

• Unused Blocks and Templates

  Its easy to add custom blocks and templates to /application/blocks, but how many of them are really used when you have finished developing. Remove unused blocks and templates.

Cleaners can be run directly from the dashboard or through the Extreme Clean queable job.

Omni Gallery

Omni Gallery is a massively flexible gallery and slider system. Multiple ways to select images. Multiple ways to display them. Easily expandable with further image selections and display widgets. Check out a few examples of what you can show with Omni Gallery.

Once installed, you will have:

• An Omni Gallery block in the Multimedia block group.
• Dasboard pages at Dashboard > Stacks & Blocks > Omni Gallery

Building out a site with current image galleries, carousels and sliders can be a frustrating experience. Some blocks work by picking individual images. Some blocks work with filesets. Some blocks work with folders in the file manager. Picking images and adding them to a block, fileset or folder takes time. Then you have to add captions. Then the design changes, a different block is selected, the time spent editing your carefully constructed slider gets discarded and you have to start from scratch with a different block.

Having decided how images will be displayed, you don't get any choice on how they are entered. You have to use what the block gives you, which may not be how you would really like to pick images.

Hence Omni Gallery. One single gallery addon to fulfill all galley and slider requirements. Omni Gallery provides many different ways of selecting images, you can select images in a way that suits your application and the way you like to work. 

• Pick individual images
• Select a fileset and either snapshot or track the images in it
• Select a folder and either snapshot or track the images in it
• Select a system directory
• Select an individual user, page or calendar event and generate image lists from associated attributes
• Build a user list, page list, calendar event list and generate image lists from associated attributes
• Build a list of anything using Express and generate image lists from associated attributes
• Select an individual Community Store product and generate image lists from associated attributes
• Build a Community Store product list and generate image lists from associated attributes
• Integrate with core image/file attribute and third party multi image and fileset attributes
• Filter by size and type
• Handle any number of images from just a few images to effectively infinite collections.
• For latest list see Image Selectors

Having selected images, in Omni Gallery you can then decide how to display them choosing a display widget:

• Core image slider
• Core page list
• Glider
• Swiper
• Thumbnail grid
• Vegas background slider
• For latest list see Display Widgets

Omni Gallery takes care of pagination, lazy Loading and lightbox overlays. Titles and captions/descriptions can be selected from any image property or attribute and even from file embedded exif data. You can even show different descriptions in the display widget and lightbox.

The display and lightbox configuration options of Omni Gallery are massively configurable. On the rare occasions you need to display more complex layouts within a gallery or slider, Omni Gallery Elements puts your coded elements into a gallery or slider.

If you can't find the image selector or display widget you require, the Omni Gallery architecture is fully Pluggable and Expandable. Its easy to integrate further plugins with alternative javascript slider and gallery widgets. 

Having put all that work into configuring a slider, carousel or gallery, with Omni Gallery you can easily swap the display widget while keeping the same image selector, or swap the image selector while keeping the same display widget. If you need a similar Omni Gallery on another page, just export the settings and import them to a new block. You can even export and import Omni Gallery settings to copy between sites (though take care to adjust fileset or folder identities after importing).

If you have a massive collection of images to display, Omni Gallery can crawl a file manager folder or system directory dynamically. You can add a galley of thousands of images with just a few clicks.

Easy Setup

1. On this site find an example similar to what you require, click the View settings button, copy the settings JSON.
2. On your page, add a Omni Gallery block. On the Support tab click the button to Import settings, paste the settings JSON and import.
3. On the advanced tab, clear the radio button that enables the export button with the gallery. You probably don't want to show that on the front end of your site!
4. Edit the settings to what you require. Most importantly, in the Image Selection tab, adjust any concrete5 File, Fileset or Folder selection as IDs will change between sites.

Extension

Omni Gallery is designed for extension. Image selectors, display widgets and lightbox overlays follow a pluggable and extensible architecture for easy integration of further selctors, displays and lightboxes from within Omni Gallery or provided by third party packages or your own application specific plugins.

Omni Gallery Elements

A developer extension for Omni Gallery. Format display widgets and lightboxes using concrete5 Elements.

Omni Gallery Elements is a developer level Display Widget and Lightbox Overlay extension for Omni Gallery. 

Data for each image is passed to a concrete5 element. It is up to you, as a site developer, to code your own element to format images and information and then select your element in the edit dialog. Omni Gallery will then use your element to show in the Display Widget or Lightbox Overlay .

Once installed, you will have variations of existing Display Widgets and Lightbox Overlays. These function in the same way as the core Omni Gallery items they are based on.

The difference is, rather than configuring the image display and supporting information directly in the Omni Gallery edit dialog, data is passed to a concrete5 element which becomes fully responsible for presenting the image and supporting information for display.

In its basic use, Omni Gallery Elements provides an edit dialog for selecting an element and mapping data to the element. As a developer, it is up to you to code your own element to format images and information and then select your element in the edit dialog. A more advanced use is to map data to an element and wrap it in a scaled box. This scales all pulled elements to the same size, so facilitating the creation of galleries and sliders from disparate element content. 

Omni Gallery Elements provides some basic elements. These are intended as diagnostic aids and examples of how to use data The real power of Omni Gallery Elements is when you provide your own elements for display. You are not limited to the URL/ Title/ Description/ Extended Description that Omni Gallery uses You can pull in other attributes, multiple images and pretty much anything you can imagine. Then show it in a slider or gallery.

Extension

Omni Gallery is designed for extension. Image sources and display widgets follow a pluggable and extensible architecture for easy integration of further sources, transforms and displays from within Omni Gallery or provided by third party packages or your own application specific plugins.

Omni Gallery Elements makes this extension even easier. You only need to code an element, then use the sliders and galleries provided by Omni Gallery to display that element.

Package Magic

Package Magic is a suite of tools for site owners and developers who use packages. Once Package Magic is installed, you can forget about the inconvenience of using your development system file manager and zip tools, the CLI, and FTP or SSH to generate and deploy packages. Package Magic enables you to do everything from the dashboard.

Package Magic brings convenience and speed to zipping new versions of your packages and deploying them to your websites or the ConcreteCMS marketplace.  If you save 10 or 15 minutes for each package update, those minutes soon add up to hours or even days saved when put into the context of a large web site development project

With a few clicks from the dashbaord you can:

• Zip up packages ready for distribution.
• Upload and install package zip archives.
• Copy packages between sites.
• Run a suite of package build, validation and management tools.
• Maintain a private repository of packages.

Once Package Magic is installed, you can forget about the inconvenience of using your development system file manager and zip tools, the CLI, FTP or SSH to generate and deploy packages.

If you develop concrete5 packages for your customer projects or for the marketplace, Package Magic can save you a lot of time. Even if you are a command line guru, Package Magic will still save you time on every project.

Troubled by operating system files, .dot files, Thumbs.db, IDE or composer configuration and hidden directories getting zipped up with your packages? Package Magic creates clean zip files without any of the crud. From third party packages, it can detect unwanted files and clean them out before installing.

You have full control over what does and doesn’t get included in a package archive or extracted from a package archive by simple checkbox and file path-matching rules.

Package archives can be:

• Directly uploaded/downloaded,
• Loaded from or saved to a file,
• Loaded from a URL,
• Loaded from or saved to FTP/SFTP,
• Loaded from a GitHub repository, 
• Loaded from or saved to the dashboard file manager,
• Loaded from or saved to a local repository directory organised by package and version number,
• Direct from the Marketplace PRB (for PRB members only)

To help you prepare packages for download, Package Magic provides a suite of Package Build Tools including dashboard equivalents to the CLI tools for translation, short tags expansion and SVG icon compilation. Amongst other tools Package Magic can report where blocks and block templates are used, check for Deprecated Code, check JavaScript and CSS for errors, compile LESS and even increment the version in the package controller with a comment noting when and who by.

The functionality of Package Magic is broadly split into tool areas:

• Package Magic - Package Source Documentation
• Package Magic - Package Destination Documentation
• Package Magic - Build Tool Plugin Documentation
• Package Magic - Prohibited Code Check Plugin Documentation

Plugin System

Many of my more advanced packages use a sophisticated plugin mechanism for easy expansion, both within the package and across packages. If you are already a user of my packages, you may already have met this documentation system in the 'plugins' dashboard pages such packages provide.

Built in Documentation

The plugin system includes built in documentation. If you have used any of these addons, you will have seen the user documentation in the associated plugin select dialogs and in the dashboard plugin list pages.

The same documentation is displayed on thgis site here using Package Magic. While Package Magic is primarily a dashboard tool, it also provides a block that can be used to create documentation pages for any use of my plugin systems on the front end of a site.

That block is used on this site to provide the latest documentation for Package Magic and other addons.

Plugin Permissions

At a basic level, any plugin can be enabled or disabled in the associated dashboard listing page. Such enable/disable is only available to the site admin user and simply makes a plugin unavailable throughout the site.

Where a site has multiple administrators or editors, sometimes a more sophisticated access to plugins is required. For example, with Universal Content Puller, perhaps you need to use a URL or Any Database source on a few pages, but you don't want any old site editor to have that capability. At the same time, you would like your editors to be able to pull areas between pages.

The plugin system includes an option to apply permissions to individual plugins. When plugin permissions are enabled, the dashboard management pages for plugins show buttons for the site admin user to allow or deny permission for users or groups to use any individual plugin in a dialog with the familar concrete5 permissions dialogs.

Plugin permissions can also be enabled directly in config data at application/config/generated_overrides/jtf_resources.php with the key 'plugin_permissions_enable' => 1. For some addons, the application of permissions can also be controlled by a checkbox at the bottom of the Support tab of the edit dialog.

Plugin permissions are enabled globally, not just for individual packages. Enable plugin permissions in any one addon and you will have plugin permissions in all supporting addons installed on your site.

Unlike concrete5's advanced permissions, this is not a one-way decision. If you want to experiment or decide you no longer need to use plugin permissions, simply clear the setting and plugin permissions will be ignored.

Block Default Settings

Rather than be stuck with the default settings as a strating point when adding a block, blocks that use the plugin system will have a dashboard edit dialog for editing default settings. This will look generally like the block edit dialog, but in a dashboard page, typically in amongst the Stacks & Blocks dashboard section and will be named somethimng like Global Settings.

After editing and saving the defaults, from now on whenever you add a block to a page the initial settings of the block add dialog will be the new defaults you have saved. A big time saver if you have many blocks to add with similar settings.

A further opion in the block edit dialog is a simple checkbox to use the global settings. When checked and saved, the block continue to use whatever the global settings are. This provides an easy way to centrally manage the settings across many blocks. For example, if you add the Reviews blocks to a page, you can manage them all centrally through the global settings.

Settings Export and Import

Many addons that use the plugin system provide a facility to Export settings from a block as JSON and then Import the settings, either on the same site or on another site. When used with caution, this can be a great way to transfer between development, staging and production sites.

Where supported, the Export and Import settings buttons can be found in the Support tab of the block edit dialog.

A related option is a View settings button that can be shown in the front end view of a block to enable site visitors to view and copy settings. Where supported, this is typically enabled from amongst a block's developer settings.

Easy Setup

1. On this site find an example similar to what you require, click the View settings button, copy the settings JSON.
2. On your page, add a block. On the Support tab click the button to Import settings, paste the settings JSON and import,
3. Edit the settings to what you require. 

Custom Plugins

The plugin system is open to all developers for extension of my addons. Any developer is welcome to provide plugins for my addons within their own packages or create application specific plugins where my addons are used on their customer sites.

Plugins are created simply by placing a compatible class in a specific directory of your own package or /application/ space, following the same directory structure as the package that provides that plugin type. The new plugin class needs to inherit from the base class for that plugin type or another plugin of that type. Details are provided by comments in the code for the base class and existing plugins.

For example, in Universal Content Puller, new Content Source plugins should inherit from ContentSourcePluginBase and should be located at either:

• packages/yourPackageName/src/JtF/UCP/ContentSources/Plugins/PluginName
• application/src/JtF/UCP/ContentSources/Plugins/PluginName.

Content sources should be in the namespace JtF\UCP\ContentSources\Plugins. In fact, if you configure the plugin type's namespace in your package autoload registries, the plugin can be located in any mapped directory, but its best to stick to the conventions.

Other types of plugin across all packages that use my plugin mechanism follow a similar pattern.

Plugins will be automatically 'discovered' by the plugin system by visiting the associated dashboard page. If you want to be more sophisticated, discovery can be initiated during package installation or upgrade by calling the listAll(true) method on the respective manager/controller for the plugin type. You can see examples of that in my package controller classes.

Safe HTML

If an HTML block contains broken HTML or faulty JavaScript, it could break a page or if in a gloabl area even break an entire site!

This package provides a simple Safe template for the core HTML block. By assigning the Safe block template, the HTML is escaped in edit mode. So as long as you can get into edit mode, you will always be able to see where the broken block is and and edit it.

If you have trouble getting into the the page to edit it, you can hack a configuration value in the file application/config/generated_overrides/safe_html.php and set 'panic' => true.

This is not a complete solution, but does present an option for doing dangerous things in a safer way.

Site Sniffer

Keep track of multiple ConcreteCMS sites and packages on your development system.

No matter how well I have my development system organised, keeping track of all the sites , packages and package versions I have on my development system for different customers, different core versions, for the marketplace and for the PRB is an impossible process.

Site Sniffer is a package for agencies and serious developers to help keep track of all the ConcreteCMS sites on their development systems. Install Site Sniffer and a handy dashboard page provides a list of all the sites on the same system with live controls to search, sort and filter.

Sites are analyzed and marked for:

• Core Version
• Current Site - the current site
• Database Verified - installed with a database
• No Database - CMS source files present and apparently configured, but the corresponding database cannot be found (typically a files backup of another site)
• Not Local - configured for a non-local database (typically a files backup of an online site)
• Incomplete - missing configuration information, so Site Sniffer is unable to tell if there is a database or not (typically unzipped but never installed, but could also be faulty configuration data)
• Packages (by package handle)
• Package versions

Site Sniffer has been developed on the latest ConcreteCMS v9 and engineered and tested for backward compatibility all the way back to core version 5.7.0.4. It can sniff out sites all the way back to core version 5.4.

Whilst Site Sniffer will work on a live web server, typical server permissions may limit its capabailities. Some may also consider the information provided by Site Sniffer a security risk. So please think very carefully before installing Site Sniffer on live web site.

If you also have Package Magic, Site Sniffer provides extensions to check packages against other sites on the same server.

Special License Addition

Whilst Site Sniffer comes with the standard ConcreteCMS marketplace license, a single licence is extended for unlimited installation on any single development system computer. Purchasers may install site sniffer on any number of sites within a single development system.

Snapshot

Streamline your image workflow

Snapshot provides a suite of device/browser tools for capturing images, from webcams, from screengrabs and by drag and drop. These tools can be attached to buttons in the dashboard toolbar, for example, for use by Administrators. Each tool is also available through an associated block for use on your site pages by any user with permission.

Captured images can be edited, annotated and imported directly into the concrete5 File Manager.

For each image capture tool Snapshot provides:

• A dashboard toolbar button that is configured through an associated dashboard page.
• A block to add a button directly into a page.

Some use-cases:

• Enable users to update mugshot images or avatars from their webcam.
• Use a mobile device camera to take photographs and import directly to the File Manager.
• Quickly add screengrabs to your documentation (as above).
• Enable users to upload screengrabs for support requests.
• A more front-end user focussed workflow for any image or file upload.

The snapshot tools use web APIs for image capture, so may not be available on older browsers that do not support the APIs. Links to browser support matrices are provided from the Snapshot Tools page.

In the sidebar are each of the snapshot tool blocks. Uploading images is disabled, so feel free to have a play with each of the tools and think about how your web sites can benefit from them!

Universal Content Importer

Universal Content Importer is a dashboard utility that utilises Universal Content Puller to pull content and files in bulk from any site.  Corresponding pages are created within the ConcreteCMS site, with the pulled content added to blocks on those pages.

Where blocks cannot be fully added, UCI provides a comprehensive notification and review system to facilitate manual addition of that last little bit. 

Once installed, you will have:

• UCI Dashboard pages - dashboard pages for configuring and running the import pipeline.
• UCP content sources, trandforms and displays - additional sources, transforms and displays for Universal Content Puller to facilitate the import and review process.
• Notification block - a block added at the top of any page where fully automated creation of content was not possible or where assumptions have been made and require review.
• Notifications attribute - a user attribute that any site editor can configure to limit the notifications they need to see.
• Placeholder block - a block inserted into the content of a page where further action is required to add a block for pulled content. For example, where a form is encountered.
• Review Navigation block - place this block in a global header and/or footer to navigate forewards/backwards between puilled pages or to open the original source in a separate browser tab.

Universal Content Importer uses DOM selectors to home in on the section(s) of the source site to import. Thus it requires a source site that has some regularity in the way its DOM is organised. This is a reasonably dependable assumption for sites that were generated by a CMS or other site generator, but may become less dependable for sites of hand-written html.

Where blocks cannot be automatically generated, UCI places a Notification block summarising what review and completion actions are required at the top of the imported area. UCI then inserts Placeholder blocks into the page where blocks need to be added manually.

UCI will not import a source site fully automatically, but if it can do 90% of the work for you and point you to where additional work is required, reviewing and fixing the last 10% can still save many days or even weeks of editing pages when converting a large site to ConcreteCMS.

During the review process, the UCI blocks can be manually removed from individual pages as they are completed. Alternatively, they can be left in place and hidden from visitors using Advanced Permissions, or the UCI blocks can be left in place and removed in bulk by uninstalling the blocks or UCI in the dashboard.

Please respect copyright ©

Just because you can import content in bulk from another site does not mean you can legally do so. Plese respect the copyright of others. Only import content where:

• You own the site.
• You are importing the content on behalf of the site owner.
• You have permission to do so from the owner of the content.

Extension

Universal Content Importer is built on top of Universal Content Puller and designed for extension using similar mechanisms. Content sources, transforms and displays follow a pluggable and extensible architecture for easy integration of further sources, transforms and displays from within UCP or provided by third party packages or your own application specific plugins.

Universal Content Puller XX Sources

jl_universal_content_puller_xx_sources - v8.1.0

Sources extension for Universal Content Puller. The sources in this extension are XX because they are the kind of source you may not want to let just anyone loose with, hence a separate package so they don't have to be installed with less sensitive sources.

Once installed, you will have:

• A Universal Content Puller block in the Basic block group.
• Dasboard pages at Dashboard > Stacks & Blocks > Universal Content Puller

Some of the things you can do with Universal Content Puller:

1. Use Parent Area to implement a set of common sidebars for each region of your site, in the same way as UCP has been used to provide a common sidebar for these documentation pages.
2. Use Child Area to prepend a blog list with some actual content from the most recent blog post.
3. Use Page Area to show a selected area or snippet of content from another page.
4. Show third party CSV files as formatted tables.
5. Show CSV files in the concrete5 file manager as formatted tables.
6. Pull in snippets of content and tables from other sites.
7. Display tabular data as a Chart - requires Universal Content Puller Charts
8. Generate page lists and user lists with full control of what information is displayed.
9. Pull files of data from anywhere on the web or from the concrete5 file Manager.
10. Show JSON data as formatted lists or tables.
11. Embed JSON data in a page for use with your own JavaScript.
12. Extract data from XML or RSS feeds and show it in lists or tables.
13. Pull using SQL from any database - requires Universal Content Puller XX Sources (Free).
14. Do any of the above with AJAX.
15. Pull anything into a dropdown, lightbox or slideout using Button Nav templates for UCP.
16. Use as a basis for integrating any API sourced data.

Have a look through the available Content Sources, Content Transforms and Content Displays. These can be mix and matched for boundless possibilities.

Easy Setup

1. On this site find an example similar to what you require, click the View settings button, copy the settings JSON.
2. On your page, add a block. On the Support tab click the button to Import settings, paste the settings JSON and import,
3. On the advanced tab, clear the radio button that enables the export button. You probably don't want to show that on the front end of your site!
4. Edit the settings to what you require. Most importantly, in the Content Source tab, adjust any concrete5 Page, File or User Selection as IDs will change between sites.
