Notes |
Purpose of the mod
This mod will add options to the Map Settings dialog to fine tune the showing of the map on the person pages.
Developer
This mod was developed by Bart 'Roebie' Degryse
Idea by Cyndi Wiseman in response to a question by Mitch Gariador. Version 9.x.0.1 features in response to a question by Roger Mitchell.
Requirements
- A working TNG installation.
- A backup of all affected files (see the list in the summary in the upper right corner of the page)
- An installed current version of the Mod Manager (is already included in TNG v9)
Installation
- Download the appropriate zip file as shown in the summary in the upper right corner of the page. NOTE that I host these zip files on my own server. That way I can count the number of downloads for each mod I made and estimate the relevance of such mod.
- Extract the config file from the downloaded zip file into the mods folder.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the mod.
- Go to Admin >> Setup >> Configuration >> Map Settings. Change the setting for the new Show the map on the person page option to No. Don't forget to press the Save button
Features
The latest version of this mod adds tree options to the Map Settings dialog.
- Show the map on the person page
- Allow to toggle the visibility
While these should be self explanatory here's a summary of their interaction anyway:
Show the map on the person page | Allow to toggle the visibility | Result |
---|---|---|
Yes | No | (Default) This is the default behavior of TNG without this mod installed. |
Yes | Yes | The map is still visible but there's an extra link to hide the map. |
No | Yes | The map is not visible when opening the page, but there is a link to open the map. |
No | No | No map and no link to open it. This is the behavior the first version added. |
- Reset location markers on unhide
When you open the page the map will show a given region. Now suppose you scroll the map to show another region. Now hide the map, next unhide the map. The map will still show the latest region. Setting this option to Yes, forces the map to reload when you unhide it, making it show the former region again.
Other Languages
Those who use other languages in addition to English can find appropriate mods to add Dutch, French or Spanish custom text additions in the summary in the upper right corner of this page. Follow the same procedure as explained above to install them.
Note that these language mods are only for the 9.0.0.0 version of the mod. New ones will come soon!
