FAQ:



How do you control what pages AzuCloud is displayed on?

Rather than fiddling with individual templates, AzuCloud hooks into the main PAGE_CONTAINER template (which is used on pretty much every page) and uses its own logic to choose when it should be displayed. The two options 'Active controllers' and 'Active routes' on the AzuCloud options page are what you're looking for to change where AzuCloud is displayed. Until a better interface is developed, you will probably need a basic knowledge of PHP and/or to ask in this thread for the 'Active controllers' option to be useful (e.g. to add AzuCloud to other addons' pages). 'Active routes' should be easy enough for anyone to use, though obviously its use doesn't extend very far as it is restricted to static URLs.

How do you add AzuCloud to an addon's page(s)?

Darkimmortal said:

If you take a look in library/modname/ControllerPublic (usually)/whatever.php, the class definition right at the start is the controller name (in the case of XenMedio, EWRmedio_ControllerPublic_Media), then you can take your pick of what actions to include out of the functions available (actionIndex, actionMedia, etc.)

So for example you could add something like this in the Active Controllers setting:

Code:

EWRmedio_ControllerPublic_Media:index,media,mediaComments,categoryView,categories,playlists,mediaView,mediaComments
