Managing Layout choices for custom asset types

[Rob Atkinson]

Love the new 6.3 editor :-)  

I've tried looking into code but not getting terribly far trying to work out what are the possible values teamwork:defaultLayout

The only value i've found that works so far is "TabularEditor"

When i make this default, the "available layouts" gives me a bunch of options who all claim have "default" = false.

I see there is teamwork:defaultForProjectType i could attach to a Layout... 

I dont see a property equivalent to the deprecated projectEditorClassOption

so a few obvious questions:

1) what are the range of values available for defaultLayout ?

2) how does one add to the list of available layouts (including where should one put the declarations if they are not properties of the projectType)

3) If one saves a layout, how can it be exported so i can package it with a custom asset collection as the default layout?

 ( noticed a few tab option layout glitches - is there a patch release planned soon?)

Cheers

The values of teamwork:defaultLayout map to fields of the JS object called Layouts. For example, there is

export const TabularEditor = {
    config: {
        content: [
            {
                type: 'row',
                content: [
                    {
                        type: 'column',
                        width: 50,
                        title: 'Search',

                        content: [
                            {
                                component: 'Search',
                                type: 'react-component',
                                height: 100,
                            },
                        ],
                    },
                    {
                        type: 'column',
                        width: 50,
                        content: [
                            {
                                component: 'Form',
                                height: 100,
                            },
                        ],
                    },
                ],
            },
        ],
    },
};

The idea is that 3rd party code can add their own constants through Layouts.MyLayout = ... and then reference it via teamwork:defaultLayout "MyLayout". You can produce the values (nested arrays) either by hand or by looking at the saved layouts (which are stored as instances of teamwork:Layout in Repositories/urn_x-evn-user-data.xdb).

We are still in the process of rolling out the documentation and starter pack for customers to inject their own JavaScript code for 6.3 onwards . Did you get informed about that already?

 ( noticed a few tab option layout glitches - is there a patch release planned soon?)

If you have specific glitches to report, we'd love to hear them to make sure we address them in 6.3.1

Holger

Cheers

Thanks Holger

I havent seen notice about the doc pack - look forward to it, or an alpha release if you want me to test it :-)

the main layout glitch is that the project tabs (import/export/manage) etc do not show completely or size properly (i.e. showing More...) until you select a different tab or resize the window,

cheers
