Scripting

The most operations needed by the VirtualCom integration are performed by the following TedSystemAddin scripts:

•SelectVirtualComTemplate : open template selection dialog to change section layout

•UpdateVirtualComTemplate : perform template change when pressing OK to the above dialog

•VirtualComSync : check if some GN4 content is currently published but not in staging, to avoid content wipe on next publish. If desired, the staging list will be updated.

•VirtualComRefreshPos : after a preview is rendered, get real article positions from HTML (vcpos attribute). Used for mixing gn4 and VirtualCom content.

•OnPreviewReadyVirtualCom (event) : called when a new preview is ready in the browser.

•OnListDrop (event) : used for VirtualCom section to recalculate position after a drop from navigator or object list.

•VirtualComShowDrop : toggle "GN4Pos" CSS style for all divs with vcpos attribute defined (drop zone).

•VirtualComSwap: enabled when two items are selected to swap their positions. Linked to Alt+S.
