iKnowBase contains iKnowBase Content Studio, a suite of web-based tools for publishers. For end user documentation of the iKnowBase Content Studio, see iKnowBase Publishing Guide.
A tooltip function is used in viewers where you want to have mouseover functionality on title attributes.
They can be useful in lists of documents to display additional informasjon about a document without navigating to detail pages.
This is the list of tooltip functions available from a presentation style:
The three functions used in search will highlight the search criteria if entered by the user.
To add new functions you can write your own PL/SQL-function, add it as a database command and use it in the presentation style layer. Use e.g the function ikb_tooltip.cluetip_preview as an example.
Cluetip is the framework for tooltip functionalities and there are two different implementation offered:
class="ikb-cluetip-url" title="<title>" rel="/somurl/<docIdParam><docid>"
class="ikb-cluetip-title" title="<title>|<description>"
An image variant is a scaling variant of an image. Image variants are created when inserting and updating image documents in iKnowBase, and are used when publishing content. You can configure an image variant to be required or optional. A required image variant will be created for an image upon each save of the image. An optional image variant will be created if requested by the end user.
The event “Image Scaling” triggers creation of image variants.
You may add new, change and remove existing image variant definitions. Image variant definitions are maintained in the iKnowBase Development Studio (development tools). For reference documentation see the Image Variant chapter of iKnowBase Development Reference.
Note: There must exist one required image variant with the property “Use this variant as thumbnail?” checked.
The image archive, which is part of the iKnowBase Content Studio, is by default configured with a set of image variant definitions.
This chapter describes the process of maintaining image variant definitions.
To create a new image variant definition, perform the following steps:
Now the new image variant definition is ready for use!
Note: If an image variant’s only purpose is to define a crop area to be used in image edit, no attributes are required.
You can change the scaling properties of an image variant definition. This will not automatically affect existing images/image variants. But, will affect all images created or modified after the image variant definition is changed. To recreate image variants for existing images, see the chapter Create Image Variants.
You can also make a required image variant optional, and vice versa, by adding or removing the request attribute from the image variant definition. Note: You must update the image form accordingly. See the chapter Add Image Variant for further information.
You can remove an image variant definition. Note: You must update the image form accordingly. See the chapter Add Image Variant for further information.
After removal of an image variant, the corresponding attributes will behave as regular attributes and already created image variants will remain.
The event “Image Scaling” triggers creation of image variants. By default this event is configured to trigger on insert and update of an image document. In special circumstances, like after an upgrade or after a change in the image variant definitions, you can manually recreate all image variants in the system. This functionality is available in the edit pane for the event “Image Scaling” in the iKnowBase Development Studio. Click the Run batch button in on the run batch tab of the event “Image Scaling”. See the Event chapter of the iKnowBase Development Reference for further information.
