Application Store - Advent Calendar

1. Installation

To use the application, you require at least Intrexx 8 with all Online Updates.

1.1. Application




Import the file "Adventskalender2017-IX8.zip" that was downloaded from the Application Store; this contains the application and process. Make sure the options "Import with application data" and "Import with permissions" are activated.

1.2. Permissions




During the import, the application permissions can be assigned. Usually, the default settings can be applied. The permissions can also be modified later in the Users module. The "Benutzer" user group can open the windows in the calendar. The "Administrator" user group can modify the settings in the Administration.

1.3. Process

In the final step, import the included process that is responsible for the annual rearranging of the windows and the Intrexx Share plugin. The process does not have to be imported if you do not require these functions.

The Advent Calendar app is now available in the portal.



The data for the advent calendar windows can be edited on the "Administration" by clicking on "Edit entry".

3. Change the background image




The background image can be modified by opening the application in the Applications module. Open the page "Advent Calendar" and then open the properties dialog of the free layout table and switch to the Style tab. In the "Custom modifications" area, select the entry "#ID_shapedtable...." and then click on "Edit CSS rule". Add your custom image to the portal directory internal/application/store/<Application GUID>/images. Afterwards, simply change the value in the "Value" column based on your filename: url(images/<Application GUID>/<Filename of background image>). The background image must have the dimensions 720 x 480px. Larger images will be cropped, smaller images will be repeated.

4. Intrexx Share plugin

The application contains an Intrexx Share plugin. If the "Advent Calendar" process has been imported, an Intrexx Share post will be generated each morning at the same time. Intrexx Share users have the option of subscribing to the plugin.
