Purpose of the mod

This mod was designed to display a different message for image maps that are not photos.

This mod applies to TNG 7.0 and above.

Developer

Ken Roy developed this mod.

Advantages

This mod displays a different message if the image map is not for a photo, since clicking on the image may not display a person page.

Requirements

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

Automated Install

1. Download the appropriate distribution for your TNG version from the download links in the status area in the upper right.
2. Extract the media-5_image_map_msg.zip to your admin/mod_folder (V7) or mods (v8).
3. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the media-5_image_map_msg.cfg.

Note that the media-5_image_map_message_v1.0.cfg file is part of a series of media display mods where the n in media-n designates the install order of the mods. If you use any of the other mods, they must be installed before this mod.

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.

You will need to make adjustments to the the $mediatypeID for the media collections where you are using image maps which are not photos where you create a link to the person.

Custom Text

English language

The following variable should be added to your English/cust_text.php

$text['mediamytext'] = "<strong>Note:</strong> Move your mouse pointer over the image to show additional information.";

French language

The following variable should be added to your French/cust_text.php

$text['mediamytext'] = "<strong>Notez:</strong> Déplacez votre pointeur de souris au-dessus de l'image pour exposer d'autres informations.";

Visual of Mod

You can view the different message displayed for the image map by looking at my Uncle Bern's Military Ribbons media record, which displays the messages as "Move your mouse pointer over the image to show additional information".
