new functionality

[cna...@gmail.com]

Hello, I need to implement new functionality and this things interesting for me:

adding/removing sets of page elements:

• Add my own elements such as: photo gallery, player, download links etc
• Customize element configurators
• Put default values to own elements
• Remove or hide existing elements

adding pre-defined pages templates, examples.

Hi.

If I understand you correct, then the guide line for customizing your own elements will help you:

http://guides.alchemy-cms.com/create_elements.html

Same with the page layouts:

http://guides.alchemy-cms.com/create_page_layouts.html

Default values can be added via the default key from the elements content description. I.e.:

- name: my_custom_element
contents:
- name: content_name_1
type: EssenceText
default: Lorem ipsum

To remove/hide default elements, just delete them from you config/alchemy/elements.yml file.

I hope this helps.

Let us know if you need more information.
