lizard-portal

Introduction

This is a Django app for management of portlets using Ext.js 4.

Fixtures

Load the initial portalconfiguration data. This will give you at least the required 'homepage' configuration.

$ bin/django loaddata portalconfiguration

Application

The main building block is lizard_portal.views.site. Provide an application_name and an active_tab_name in your urls.py. 'application/.js' will then be loaded on that url.

url(r'^$',
     'lizard_portal.views.site',
    {'application_name': 'vss',
     'active_tab_name': 'watersysteem/'},
    name="portalpage"),

Define Ext.application in your application. You can use ExtJS here to build your gui. It is also possible to include external portal templates.

{% load get_portal_template %}

...
{% get_portal_template watersysteem_layers %}

Portal templates

A portal template is a piece of content. For example a buttonbar or a table.

Portal templates are stored in templates/portals/*, TOGETHER WITH PortalConfiguration objects. Whenever you try to load a portal template, it will look for it in the templates directory and in PortalConfiguration objects (the slug must match).

Note: Django searches all template directories. You can add your own templates/portals directory in your app and those portals will also be found.

Portals

A portal consist of visual elements on the screen with actions attached to it. A portal can be a selection screen with a map, it can be a form, a tree, or anything. A portal is defined by a javascript file containing an object. The contents can be shown in a Dashboard.

The default location is /templates/portals.

Lizard.window.Dashboard

It is a Ext.container.Viewport with the following additions:

When you enter, the page shows a tree on the left, a 'portal' (default: Area Selection map) in the middle, Analyse on the right, breadcrumbs on top.
Stores lizard context: period: {start, end, selection}, object {id, name, type}, portal_template, base_url.
Can load another (portal) page as replacement for the selection map when selecting an element from the tree or on the map.
Analysis on the right

After selecting an area there will be a hash (#) with 3 items next to it:

portal_template (i.e. 'homepage', 'aan_afvoergebied_selectie')
object: object type, i.e. 'aan_afvoergebied'
object.id: id in the object type. i.e. '2120' (primary key) These will be applied.

Settings

area_selection_template, i.e. aan_afvoergebied_selectie. Points to a js file in templates/portals/ subdir.
area_store, i.e. 'Vss.store.CatchmentTree'
lizard_context: period: {start, end, selection}, object {id, name, type}, portal_template, base_url.
