Notes	If using Bret Rumsey's Image Viewer Mod you must install media-3_body_text_w_viewer_v1.0.zip If you also install the ShowTable Mod, it should be installed before this mod. Please update your additional language cust_text.php files with translations based upon the Custom Text Additions for this mod.

Purpose of the mod

This mod was designed to use the Body Text input box for media records in the

• TNG Histories collection
• User collections that use the Same setup as: Histories

to contain the translation text for the image and to display both the image and the translation text. It displays the translation text in the table below the image.

This mod applies to TNG 7.0 and above. The mod will work with TNG version 6, but the line numbers will be different and an additional change is required to admin/mediautil.js to make other media types behave like histories so they will have the Body Text input box on the Admin Media screen.

V8.1.3 and after of the mod allows you to edit the mod after installation to specify which mediatypeIDs are used to display both the Body Text and the image in media collections that behave like histories. You can also specify a mediatypeID that you want to use the Image Viewer for displaying the image, which can be viewed as an override to the Setup >> General Settings >> Media >> Enable image viewer: Documents Only

Developer

Ken Roy developed this mod so that English translations could be provided for original documents in a different language, such as French that are often lengthy without having to use the Description text box for that translation.

Advantages

Using the body text input box and displaying both the body text and the image

• eliminates the need to put translations in the Description
• avoids cluttering the media collection list with extra information
• displays the translations in a separate row in the table below the image

Requirements

• A backup of the TNG Modules Involved
• An installed current version of the Mod Manager.

Post Install Action

TNG version:

≥ 8.0

After installing the Body Text for Translation mod, you need to edit the mediatypes you want to display both the Body Text and the image. See Edit MediatypeIDs Used

Custom Text Additions

Note that config file only includes the English language changes, so if you support multiple languages you will need to modify the config file to add the custom text for those other languages.

The following custom text will be added to your English/cust_text.php file by this mod. If you are using other languages, you must add these lines to each of your language cust_text.php files with appropriate translations of course.

//Body Text for Translation - Ken Roy's mod
$text['mediatranslation'] = "Translation"; 

For example, you would add to the French/cust_text.php

//Body Text for Translation - Ken Roy's mod
$text['mediatranslation'] = "Traduction";

Note that for TNG V8, the $text variables are within single-quotes, and the English/cust_text.php changes were provided for both the languages/English/cust_text.php and languages/English-UTF8/cust_text.php files.

Edit MediatypeIDs Used

Latest version of the mod now allows editing the mediatypeIDs that will display both the Body Text in media collections that behave like histories and the Image. The default mediatypeIDs (or Media Collection IDs) provided by the mod are those used on my site: scan used for my Original Records collection funeral used for my Funeral Cards collection certificate used for my B-M-D Certificates collection histories is provided as a 4th mediatype You need to use the Mod Manager Edit capability to change the mediatypeID (or Media CollectionID) to the ones for your site where you want both the Body Text and Image to be displayed. You can blank out or erase the 4th mediatype of histories for example, and it will not be selected to display both the Body Text and the image portion of the media record. You can also specify one mediatypeID (or Media Collection ID) where you want to use the Image Viewer to display the image, if you specified Documents Only for the Image Viewer setting. If you don't want to use this option, then you should blank out or erase the Image Viewer mediatypeID. Note that this option can be viewed as an override to the General Settings, Media, Image Viewer setting if the Document Only option is specified and does not apply if you set the Image Viewer option to Always.

Visualization of this mod

Without Mod

Without this mod, the media record Body Text content is displayed without the image as shown in the image on the right.

Without this mod, if the user wants to display both the image and the translation of the text from the image, they typically have to enter the translation text in the Description field, as shown on the right.

Putting the translation text in the Description field results in the Media List containing more information than the description of the image and it also results in the Description field being truncated, unless you change the truncation value.

With Mod Installed

With the Body Text for Translation Mod, the Body Text field and the image are both displayed. The Body Text is shown in the table below the image as shown in the image on the right.

With ShowTable Also Installed

Note that if you are also installing the ShowTable_Mod, it should be installed before the Body Text for Translation Mod, so the table fields will display in a more logical order after the media as shown in the image on the right. The example on the right shows the original text of the document and a French and English translation.

TNG version:

≤ 8.1.3

Note that you can use the html formatting codes (<strong> <b>) within the Body Text in order to provide some formatting. You can also check the Convert line breaks to HTML on display box so that you do not have to enter <p> or <br />. You can also provide more than one language translation within the Body Text input box as shown in the image on the right.

TNG version:

≥ 9.0

The Body Text in TNG V9 and above uses the NicEdit for providing the HTML formatting.
